of the 4th Resolution at their last regular monthly Meeting, to take 

 into further consideration the details of the proposed arrangement. 



Although it would certainly be desirable that the General Meeting, 

 and the subsequent dinner should if possible be at the same place, it does 

 not appear to the Committee that the dinner could be given at the Col- 

 lege without very great expense for lighting, &c. which (even supposing 

 the use of College Hall could be obtained, which is far from certain) 

 it seems inexpedient to incur. The only other building which can af- 

 ford sufficient accommodation for a large dinner party is the Madras 

 Club House, which, particularly as most of the Subscribers to the Li- 

 terary Society are also Subscribers to the Club, seems, for numerous 

 reasons, the most convenient place for the dinner to be given. 



I. Resolved, — Accordingly, that a notice be immediately circulated 

 to all the Subscribers to the Madras Literary Society at present at the 

 Presidency that the Annual General Meeting will be held at the Socie- 

 ty's Eooms in the College at half past 6 o'clock, p. m., on Tuesday the 

 5th of February next, and that, there will be a dinner provided at the 

 Club House at half past 7 for such Subscribers as choose to attend. 



II. Resolved, — That Mr. Ouchterlony, Dr. Kellie and Major An- 

 struther be requested to act as a Sub-Committee to take the requisite 

 measures for carrying the proposed arrangement into effect.
