7.  In  view  of  the  issue  to  Members  of  the  circular-letter 
referred  to  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  the  Council  postponed 
filling  up  until  the  Anniversary  General  Meeting  the  two 
vacancies  on  the  Council  caused  by  the  regretted  death  of  the 
second  Earl  of  Ravensworth,  who  had  represented  Durham  on 
the  Council  since  the  year  1867,  and  by  the  resignation  in 
December  last  of  Mr.  Henry  Smith,  of  Cropwell  Butler,  who 
had  represented  Nottinghamshire  since  1889.  Two  further 
vacancies  will  be  created  by  the  ineligibility  for  re-election 
of  two  Members  of  Council  who  retire  on  this  occasion,  but 
have  not  been  able  to  give  during  the  last  two  years  the 
number  of  attendances  at  Council  Meetings  required  by  Bye- 
law 23b.  It  will,  therefore,  be  the  duty  of  the  Governors 
and  Members  present  at  the  Anniversary  Meeting  to  select  25 
Memliers  to  serve  on  the  Council  from  the  30  candidates  for 
the  position,  viz.,  the  21  retiring  but  eligible  Members  of 
Council,  and  the  9 new  candidates  mentioned  above.
