Accordingly the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society being 
communicated with, a joint committee of the two societies was 
appointed, and met on the 23 rd September, 1843. The Rev. R. W. 
Hamilton was in the chair, and Messrs. J. G. Marshall, T. P. Teale, 
W. Sykes Ward, W. West, Thos. Wilson, and J. Travis Clay were 
present. The following minutes were unanimously agreed upon as 
the basis for the proposed arrangement : — 
That such an arrangement as is proposed is regarded by us as 
very desirable. 
That the curators of the two societies agree in the appointment 
of the sub-curator of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, 
the latter society receiving any amount of compensation which may 
be due in respect of the increased labours of the sub-curator. 
That the geological curator of the Leeds Philosophical and 
Literary Society be, ex-officio, one of the two curators of the West 
Riding Geological and Polytechnic Society during the proposed 
arangement. 
That the notice to terminate the proposed arrangement be one 
full year's notice by either party. 
That the sum of £30 per annum appears a reasonable amount 
to be paid by the West Riding Society to the Leeds Society for rent, 
and for compensation for extra labour, &c. 
That the whole expense of removing the museum from Wakefield 
and its setting up in the Philosophical Hall, be borne by the West 
Riding Geological and Polytechnic Society, as well as the expense of 
its further alterations. 
That the right of entrance and admission to the united museum 
be the same to the members of both societies." 
This proposed scheme of transfer having been submitted at a 
general meeting of the members held on the 6th December following, 
it was proposed by Mr. Pitt, and seconded by Mr. Morton, and carried 
unanimously —
