December 28th. — An adjourned meeting of the Society was held to-day — 

 the President in the chair. 



The Finance Committee reported that they had made their annual exami- 

 nation of the Treasurer's accounts, and found the same correct. 



The Report of the committee in the case of Mr. Warren, was taken up 

 and acted upon ; and on motion of Mr. J. F. Allen, it was voted, that, 

 from an explanation made by Mr. Warren in the case of the report in rela- 

 tion to his placing fruits upon the Society's table, not of his own growth, 

 and as he avers, that the transaction was without improper motives on his 

 part, and as the case has not been provided for in the Society's By-laws, 

 that it be passed over by the Society. 



And it was also voted, that the committee now having revision of the By- 

 laws, be instructed so to amend the By-laws, that all flowers, fruits and veg- 

 etable, &c., placed upon the tables of the Society, shall bear the name of the 

 grower of the same ; and that if any member of the Society shall place 

 upon its tables, bearing his own name, and which are not of his own grow- 

 ing, he shall be liable to the censure of the Society, and may be expelled 

 therefrom by a vote of two thirds of the members. Meeting dissolved.
