Upon the whole the effect of the policy of the Council during 

 the past year has been to reduce the debt to the extent of 

 217/. 6s. 6d.,* which, considering the diminution of the Society's 

 income to the extent of 548/. 0*. lid., as already stated, will, it 

 is hoped, be found satisfactory to the Society. 



The following Report from the Auditors embodies the par- 

 ticulars upon which the preceding statements are founded : — 



* Income as detailed above £7502 13 2 



Deduction from outstanding accounts 1st April, 1849 32 16 11 



Ditto from medals ditto . 30 4 6 



Profit on Consols sold 44 6 3 



£7610 10 



Less expenditure, as detailed above . . . 7392 14 4 



Surplus of income over expenditure in 1849-50 . £217 6 6 

 Which agrees with the account of Reduction of Debt at foot of 

 balance-sheet.
