' Reinstated under Bye-law 12, 
Sir Nigel Kingscote said that 
the Council would observe amongst 
the list of new Governors the name of 
the Duke of Bedford, and would be 
gratified to learn that his Grace had 
taken up the Governorship of the 
Society which had been held by the 
head of the House of Russell ever 
since the Society was founded in 
1838. The Council would be aware 
that his Grace had (when Marquis of 
Tavistock) expressed a wish at the 
end of last year to retire from his 
position as a Member of the Council. 
They had all received that announce- 
ment with extreme regret ; but it 
had not, for obvious reasons, been 
possible to approach his Grace with 
a request to withdraw his resignation 
until his recent return to public life. 
He (Sir Nigel) had, however, written 
to the Duke within the last few 
days, expressing the very strong 
wish of the Council that his Grace 
would consent to remain a member of 
their body ; and he was happy in 
being able to inform the Council that 
the Duke had written to say he 
placed himself in their hands, and 
would be most glad to put his services 
at the disposal of the Society in any 
way they might think fit. (Hear, 
hear.) 
Earl Cathcaet (Chairman of the 
Committee of Selection) expressed the 
pleasure of the Committee, and he 
was sure of the Council generally, at 
learning that through the good offices 
of Sir Nigel Kingscote, to whom they 
were greatly indebted for his action 
in the matter, the Society would con- 
tinue to have the advantage of the 
association with it of the Duke of 
Bedford, both as a Governor and as a 
Member of Council. Under any cir- 
cumstances the Council would desire 
to retain his Grace as a member of 
their body, but there was a special 
reason why the Duke should sit at 
that board, in view of his munificence 
in connection with the Woburn Experi- 
mental Farm. 
The reports of the various Standing 
Committees were then presented 
and adopted, as below : —

Sir Nigel Kingscote (Chairman) 
reported that the accounts for the
