In the absence, through domestic 
affliction, of the President, Sir 
Matthew Ridley was, on the mo- 
tion of Viscount Bridpoet, called 
to the Chair. 
The minutes of the Council held on 
November 5 having been read and 
comfirmcd, 
The Chairman said he was sure 
every member of the Council would 
join with him in a feeling of the 
deepest regret at the sad cause which 
prevented their President from taking 
his place in the Chair that day. Lord 
Ravensworth had been afflicted with 
the heaviest sorrow that could befall 
a man, and no words and no resolution 
of theirs could alleviate it. But it 
might, he hoped, be some sad satis- 
faction to Lord Ravensworth in his 
hour of trial to know that he had the 
sympathy of every one of his col- 
leagues on that Council. He was 
confident, therefore, that it would be 
the wish of every gentleman present 
that they should pass a resolution of 
sincere regret at the death of Lady 
Ravensworth, and of their deepest and 
most heartfelt sympathy with their 
President in his affliction. 
This resolution was carried unani- 
mously, and the Chairman undertook 
to communicate it by a personal 
letter to Lord Ravensworth. 
The Secretary reported that 
apologies for non-attendance at the 
meeting had been received from 
H.R.H. Prince Christian, His Grace 
the Duke of Richmond and Gordon,
