At a Meeting of the Managing Committee, held at the Club House^ 

 on Tuesday, the Zd August^ 1847. 



Eead letter, dated 2d July, 1847, to the address of the Librarian, from 

 C. A. Roberts, Esq., inquiring if there is any objection to his having some 

 of the stock books of the Society's Library sent to him at Cuddalore. 



The Committee are of opinion that, under the present Rules, the re- 

 quest made by Mr. Roberts cannot be complied with. As, however, it 

 would appear, from several remarks made in circulation on the appli- 

 cation in question, that there is a strong feeling in favor of the ex- 

 tension of the advantages of the Library to Subscribers at out-stations, it 

 may, perhaps, be found expedient to recommend to the Subscribers some 

 modification of the existing Rules, and it is, therefore, 



I. Resolved, — That any specific propositions on the subject, which 

 Members of the Committee may think proper to make, be considered at a 

 future and fuller Meeting.
