ments had to be made in the Museum and Library, and, with a 

 larger printing bill, had swelled the amount of the debt of 

 the Society to their Secretary, who had advanced the sums 

 necessary for the expenditure. Of this debt he had now made 

 the Society a present, and on this account also their thanks 

 were especially due to him. He (the Speaker) would propose 

 that the special and cordial thanks of the Society be accorded 

 to the Hon. Secretary, Dr. Agnew, for his services. 



Mr. Justin Browne seconded the motion. 



His Lordship the Chairman, in putting the motion, said 

 that he would odd nothing to it, but to say that he thought the 

 vote was perfectly deserved. " The bird that we feed is the 

 bird that we love," and Dr. Agnew's love for the Society made 

 him devote his time and energies to it, and he had added to 

 the obligations under which they were to him by clearing off 

 their debt. 



The motion was carried by acclamation.
