134 SPRING MEETING. 



' Mr. GrREGG, the Curator, read the list of presents received 

 for the Library and Museum. 



The following papers were then read, but not by their 

 authors : — 



'*Eude Stone Monuments on Bodmin Moor," written by 

 Mr. A. L. Lewis, F.C.A., Treasurer of the Anthropological 

 Institute. 



" Celia Fiennes in Cornwall," contributed by Mr. H, 

 Michell Whitley, F.G.S., Hon. Member. 



" Notes on the Bulb-mite," submitted by Mr. F. H. Davey, 

 Ponsanooth. 



''Eemarks on a Lobster-hatchery/' sent by Mr. Eupert 

 Yallentin. 



The Eev. W. lago then made some remarks on "The 

 Destroyed Spire of Bodmin Church," — also, on "a Killigrew 

 memorial brass," — and on " A brass in Gloucestershire display- 

 ing a crest which represents a miner carrying, by means of a 

 holder, his lighted candle in his mouth." 



. These were illustrated by rubbings. 

 \. Mr. lago next shewed a diagram explanatory of "the 

 arrangement of Dates in Old Wills and Parish Eegisters," and 

 mentioned how a lack of this knowledge had recently caused 

 much uncertainty in an Assize case, and had risked the finding 

 of a true verdict, as the dates under discussion seemed to shew 

 that a man had been married before his Banns were out, and 

 had died before the date on which he had made his Will. 



The Archdeacon of Cornwall moved, and Mr. G. B. Millett 

 sfeconded votes of thanks to the readers of Papers, and to the 

 donors of gifts to the Library and Museum. 



; Mr.' Daubuz and Mr. Twite respectively proposed and 

 seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman. 



These propositions were carried unanimously and suitably 

 ackiiowledged.
