8. The Audited Balance Sheet of the Treasurer for the year 

 ending 31st December, 1871, is appended, showing a balance 

 in hand of £19. 8s. 5d., after the payment of every debt up 

 to the last day of the year ; so that the Institute entered on 

 the year 1872 wholly free from any liability whatever.* It will 

 be observed that the Balance Sheet has been divided into two 

 parts, one headed General Account,^' and the other " Special 

 Fund for Library, &c.'^ The first exhibits a balance in hand 

 of £15. 12s. Id. j the second, a balance in hand of £3. 16s. 4d. 

 The total amount now invested in the New Three per Cent. 

 Consols is £359. 2s. 2d. 



* This was owing to the Institute's funds having been relieved from the 

 payment of a Secretary's salary since the 31st Januar\', 1871, the increa&e of 

 Members, and a system of rigid economy.
