To the Income received during the year must be added 
the balance brought forward from 1874, amounting to 
£1476 10s. 2d. A sum of £2000 was likewise received 
by the retransfer of that amount from the deposit account 
opened in 1874, and a second sum of £2000 was borrowed 
from the Society’s Bankers on the 16th December, 1875, 
in order to meet the bills and other expenses then due. 
This gave a total sum of £34,215 1s. 6d. available for the 
expenditure of the year 1875.
