adopted. 
The Registrar’s report was next read by that officer. It 
announced that 44 five deaths had been reported during the 
past quarter, and that among them we had to regret the loss 
of Samuel Peech, of Sheffield. Mr. Peech was elected a Vice- 
President of the College in 1847, and member of the Council 
in 1848. His zeal and untiring energy, defying alike time 
and distance, will long be remembered by those who have 
witnessed his regular attendance at the meetings of the 
Council. He passed in 1805. Christopher William Hawes, 
of Tewkesbury, passed in 1846. Ephraim Howes, of 
passed in 1831. And George Watts, jun., of Dublin, who 
Wymondham, passed in 1855. Richard Allen, of Chester, 
obtained his diploma in 1845, had also been removed by 
death from among us. Five gentlemen had likewise been 
admitted as members of the College. 
Cheques were afterwards ordered for the current expenses 
of the quarter. 
Two notices of motion were then given, one for an altera-

certificate, or such other legal proof as may be required, of

and a fee of two guineas for admission and registration.’’ 
The second, by Mr. Gowing , 44 Any candidate failing to 
obtain his diploma in two examinations, shall pay a further 
fee of three guineas on again presenting himself before the 
Board.”
