12th. From C. Beke, Esq., presenting a copy of an Enquiry, by him, 

 into M. Antoinie Abbaddies' Journey into Kaffa. 



Mr. Mitchell remarked that the resolution moved by Mr. Welby 

 Jackson and seconded by the President, was not appended along with 

 the other extracts from the proceedings of the General Meeting, held 

 on the 6th November, 1850, to the proposed Draft Code, and put va- 

 rious questions touching the omission of that resolution. The President 

 replied ; and there appearing grounds to suppose, that the Mofussil 

 members were not sufficiently informed as to the manner in which 

 they were to vote upon the proposed rules, Mr. Mitchell proposed and 

 the President seconded, that the following letter should be forwarded 

 to all the Mofussil Subscribers for their votes, and that the Special 

 General Meeting to consider the draft Code of Bye-Laws be postponed 

 from the 15th of January to the 12th of March, 1851. 



Sir, — I beg to inform you that the meeting for the consideration of the 

 proposed Code of Bye-Laws, has been postponed until Wednesday, the 12th 

 of March. This postponement has been made in consequence of an acci- 

 dental omission to supply you with the requisite information, as to the mode 

 in which the votes of the Mofussil Members on the Proposed Code of Bye- 

 Laws are to be taken. 



That information is supplied by the subjoined resolution. 



Resolved, that Mofussil Members be requested to vote yes or no to each 

 rule. Further, that should a Mofussil member make any suggestion of amend- 

 ment, the Secretary will bring it to the notice of the Meeting, and in the event 

 of any member present supporting the suggestion, it can be disposed of as any 

 other motion ; if not so supported, the suggestion will not be considered by 

 the Meeting. 



You are therefore requested to send to me in writing, on or before the 

 12th of March, your votes upon the Bye-Laws according to the above resolu- 

 tion, (that is) either stating that you vote for the adoption or rejection of 

 the proposed Code as a whole ; or writing Yes or No to each rule, and add- 

 ing by way of proposal any amendment which you may wish to have moved 

 upon any particular rule. 



I remain, Sir, 



Your Obedient Servant, 



Secretary Asiatic Society.
