The Council cannot close this part of their report 

 without an allusion to the death of the Society^s old and 

 valued servant Mr. John Leigh, which took place on 

 Monday, the 13th of January last. 



The Council need scarcely remind the Fellows of Mr. 

 Leigh's long and faithful services as Accountant to this 

 Society, as they have been frequently referred to ou former

 Mr. John Barrow, who has acted as Mr. Leigh's assistant 

 for upwards of nine years, and in whom they have the 

 greatest confidence.
