It will be seen from the foregoing account that the 

 Society's income for the year has exceeded its expenditure 

 by the sum of £36 5s. ; to this it may be added, that a sum 

 of £89 has been paid for printing, nearly half of which 

 was due the preceding year ; that by arrangements made 

 much reduction of ordinary expenditure has been, and is 

 in progress of being, effected in the management, &c, of 

 the Gardens, and that the outstanding claims are very 

 trifling. From these circumstances the Council feel 

 justified in congratulating the Society, if not on a bright 

 prospect, at least on one indicating improved stability. 



It was moved by Dr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Callwell, 

 and passed unanimously, that the report and abstract 

 of accounts read by the Secretary, should be received 

 and adopted. 



Thanks to the retiring members of the Council passed. 

 Thanks to Donors passed. 



Messrs. Callwell and Whitla were appointed auditors 

 of accounts for the year.
