6 Minutes, ^c, of Committee 



aggregate to £50 17s. 2d., and the requests that these claims may be 

 immediately liquidated. 



" When this sum is added to the £500, viz., the four premiums of 

 £125 eagh, of the £600 voted for the Prize Essays of 1860, there 

 remains a balance of £49 2s. lOd. This balance would require 

 to be set aside at the Treasury to meet the cost of the eight medals, 

 and any other necessary expenses. 



" Requesting an early reply, as the Council is anxious that the dis- 

 tribution of the rewards should take place without any unnecessary 

 delay, 



" I have the honor to be, Sir, 



" Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) John Macadam, M.D., Hon. Secretary.
