After disposing of a comfortable breakfast, with appetites 

 made keen by an early start from many different quarters, 

 the Club, under the able leadership of Dr Collingwood Bruce, 

 proceeded down the left bank of the North Tyne for nearly 

 a mile, to the old bridge which united the Roman Wall on 

 either side of the river. The Abutment, discovered by Mr 

 Coulson, had been completely cleared from its superincum- 

 bent and surrounding earth, by the liberaJity of Mr Clayton, 

 of Chesters, the proprietor of the Stations of Cilurnum (just 

 opposite, and in front of Chesters House), Procolitia, Borco- 

 vicus, and Vindolana, who during a long life, by his skilful 

 excavations, conducted at great expense, has done so much 

 to illustrate the history of the Roman Wall and its adjuncts.
