:308 Report of Meetings for 1891. By Dr J. Hardy. 



Ladies." The Rev. Dr Waite also was thanked for his address 

 at Norham, and in reply he proposed the health of the ladies 

 who had provided the entertainment. 



The following gentlemen were proposed as new members of 

 the Club : — Mr W. B. Macqueen, Procurator-Fiscal of Berwick- 

 shire; Mr Hugh Andrews, Swarland Hall; Dr Watson, 

 Whittingham ; Mr David Keddie, Jedburgh ; Mr Alexander 

 Mather, Jedburgh; Mr H. G. M'Creath, Galagate, Norham; 

 Hon. Sidney George William Maitland, Thirlestane Castle, 

 Lauder. 



On my return homewards on the 27th, I called, along with 

 Dr Paxton, on several of the ladies at Norham, who had taken 

 so much trouble in entertaining the Club, and decorating the 

 Hall, to thank them personally, and saw several objects of 

 antiquarian interest, that it was intended for the members to 

 have seen, but owing to want of local direction, had not been 

 overtaken. Mrs Greet's House at Birchhill had been open to 

 callers, and I give her list, which is valuable for the objects it 

 contains from the district, in Appendix D. Some of these 

 already recorded in the Club's Proceedings, have been here 

 repeated with the references. One of the newer objects was 

 a curious set of iron or steel sharpened prongs set in a bunch, 

 which apparently had been screwed into a handle. This had 

 been found in Cornhill Churchyard. This I advised her to get 

 a dx'awing made of, which she kindly agreed to, and it was 

 shown by the Eev. Mr Dobie, at her request, at the Annual 

 Meeting at Berwick. 



At Mrs Nicholson's there was a considerable collection of 

 Stone-Querns, Spindle- whorls, and other curiosities ; but perhaps 

 the most curious of her gatherings was an old Night Light, 

 which unfortunately was not local. She has many coins : spade 

 guineas of George L, Queen Anne, Elizabeth, James VII., and 

 Charles I.'s silver coins ; several brass tokens ; an Irish halfpenny 

 of the gun-money of James VII., from Ireland. 



On the day previous to the meeting, Master James Dunlop 

 had picked up in the garden soil at Pose Villa, a neat gray flint 

 arrow-head, chipped all round, and tanged ; perfect in nearly 

 every respect. 



Mr Simson, Oxnam Row, had brought for Sir George Douglas 

 a polished wedge-shaped Neolithic Celt, of felsite, picked up
