8. The Audited Balance Sheet of the Treasurer for the year 
ending 31st December, 1871, is appended, showing a balance 
in hand of £19. 8s. 5d., after the payment of every debt up 
to the last day of the year ; so that the Institute entered on 
the year 1872 wholly free from any liability whatever.* It will 
be observed that the Balance Sheet has been divided into two 
parts, one headed “ General Account,” and the other “ Special 
Fund for Library, &c.” The first exhibits a balance in hand 
of £15. 12s. Id. ; the second, a balance in hand of £3. 16s. 4d. 
The total amount now invested in the New Three per Cent. 
Consols is £359. 2s. 2d. 
* This was owing to the Institute’s funds having been relieved from the 
payment of a Secretary’s salary since the 31st January, 1871, the increase of 
Members, and a system of rigid economy.
