18 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



This disposes of all the questions raised in any case on the 

 statement of facts before me. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



A. E. PiLLSBURT, 



Attorney- General. 



The secretary called attention to the appointment of a 

 special committee at the last annual meeting to codify the 

 rules and regulations of the Board and all existing by-laws, 

 etc., and read a letter bearing upon the report of the com- 

 mittee, from the chairman, Mr. Bowker, who was detained 

 from the meeting by sickness. 



]Mr. French of the special committee presented the report 

 of the committee, in print. 



Mr. Shaw moved that the report of the committee be 

 accepted and that each article be taken up and considered ; 

 which motion was carried. 



After the report of the committee had been duly con- 

 sidered and various portions of it had been approved, it was, 

 on the motion of Mr. Goodell — 



Voted, That the report l)e referred back to the committee, 

 and that the secretary and Messrs. Wood and Varnum be 

 added to the committee, with instructions to report at the 

 next annual meeting. 



The Chairman spoke of the loss of Mr. Yerrinton and of 

 his valuable work as stenographer of the Board, and said 

 that it seemed to him proper that the Board should recognize 

 his decease, and he therefore offered the following reso- 

 lutions : — 



Resolved, That in the death of Mr. J. M. W. Yerrinton, the 

 official stenographer of the Board, who has from the first and 

 during the last thirty years reported the proceedings of the Board 

 at the annual public winter meeting with great skill and singular 

 exactness, the community has lost a most valuable citizen and the 

 Board of Agriculture a faithful servant and genial friend, and that 

 his careful, painstaking work has endeared him to every member 

 of this Board. 



Resolved, That this resolution be spread upon the records of the 

 Board and that a copy be sent by the secretary to the family of 

 Mr. Yerrinton.
