The Income for the first four years of this decennial period 
averaged £15,228, that of the last four years amounts to 
£22,458. It thus appears that an increase of Income, 
amounting to upwards of £7000 per annum, has _ been 
effected within the last few years, and bids fair to become 
permanent. 
The balance brought forward from the year 1865 was 
£1429 11s. 6d., which, added to the Income received during 
the year, gave a total of £25,808 10s. 11d. available for the 
expenditure of the year 1865. 
b. Expenditure. 
This sum of £25,808 10s. 11d. was disposed of in the 
following manner :—the sum of £19,703 19s. 8d. was re- 
quired for the ordinary Expenditure of the Society. The 
sum of £2714 14s. 1d. was devoted to extraordinary Ex- 
penditure, in the manner stated below, and the sum of 
£2005 14s. Od. was invested in the purchase of £2000 
worth of Exchequer Bills, to form a temporary reserve fund. 
This left a balance of £1384 3s. 2d. at the Society’s 
Bankers on the 31st of December last, which was carried 
forward for the benefit of the present year’s account.
