Members’  Remarks. 
In  answer  to  a question  from  the  Chair  as  to  whether  any  Governor  or 
Member  had  any  remark  to  make  or  suggestion  to  offer  that  might  be  referred 
to  the  Council  for  their  consideration, 
Mr.  H.  M.  Simmons  (Hailsham)  stated  that  he  believed,  with  reference  to 
the  election  of  representatives  of  Sussex  on  the  Council,  that  one  of  the  retiring 
Members  was  not  eligible  for  re-election,  not  having  attended  any  Council 
meetings  for  some  years. 
The  Chairman,  in  reply,  quoted  the  following  words  from  By-law  88  : 
“ No  retiring  Member  of  the  Council  who  has  not  attended  at  least  two  Council 
meetings  in  each  year  since  his  last  election  shall  be  eligible  for  re-election, 
except  under  special  circumstances  to  he  decided  hy  the  Council  at  the  meeting 
of  the  Council  next  preceding  the  issue  of  the  Voting  Papers.”  This  left  the 
case  in  the  hands  of  the  Council,  and  he  could  assure  Mr.  Simmons  that  the 
circumstances  had  been  fully  considered  by  them. 
Mr.  Simmons  then  asked  what  the  special  circumstances  were  ? 
The  Chairman  said  that  he  thought  he  would  be  going  beyond  his  duty  if 
he  said  more  than  that,  under  the  terms  of  the  By-law,  the  matter  was  left 
entirely  to  the  Council.  (Hear,  hear.) 
Thanks  to  Retiring  President. 
Mr.  Martin  J.  Sutton  (Beading)  had  the  privilege  of  asking  the  meeting 
to  give  their  cordial  thanks  to  the  retiring  President  (the  Earl  of  Jersey)  for 
his  services  during  the  past  year.  As  his  Grace  had  already  said,  it  was  a great 
regret  to  all  of  them  that  his  Lordship  was  not  present  that  day,  and  that  ill- 
health  was  the  cause  of  his  absence.  He  (Mr.  Sutton)  had  had  the  opportunity 
of  receiving  a letter  from  Lady  Jersey  quite  recently,  in  which  she  said  that 
they  had  every  reason  to  believe  that  Lord  Jersey  would  soon  be  about  strong 
and  well  again.  He  hoped  he  was  in  order  in  making  the  suggestion  that  when 
their  vote  of  thanks  was  sent  to  his  Lordship,  an  expression  of  their  deep  regret 
at  his  absence,  with  their  best  wishes  for  his  speedy  recovery,  should  accompany 
it.  Having  been  some  twenty-three  years  on  the  Council  he  knew  what  the 
duties  of  the  President  were.  He  knew  what  Sir  Gilbert  Greenall  was  taking 
upon  himself,  and  what  Lord  Jersey  had  done  during  the  past  year.  It  meant 
an  immense  amount  of  work  and  anxiety.  He  had  had  the  opportunity  of 
serving  on  Committees  during  the  time  that  he  held  office  as  a Member  of 
Council,  and  there  was  no  one  he  had  more  esteem  for  than  the  Earl  of  Jersey. 
1 Additional  Members,  elected  under  By-law  83.
