Country Meeting of 1896. 
The Hod. Cecil T. Parker read 
the report of the Committee of In- 
spection appointed by the Council at 
their last meeting to examine and 
report upon the sites and o*her ac- 
commodation offered by the towns of 
Leicester and Northampton for the 
Society’s Country Meeting of 1896. 
The Committee, after describing the 
various sites examined by them, re- 
ported that they did not see their way 
to present a definite recommendation 
in favour of either of the towns from 
which the invitations had been re- 
ceived ; but they pointed out, with 
regard to Leicester, that the Society 
last visited it in 1868 ; that it was in 
the centre of a thickly populated 
district, and had itself a population 
of 1 87,000 inhabitants. Northampton, 
which had not been visited since 1817, 
had, on the other hand, a more eligible 
site, but was a town of 65,000 inhabit- 
ants only, with no large centres of 
industry near it, though it was in the 
midst of an important agricultural 
district.
