ANNUAL MEETING. 
805 
It is signed by the whole of the gentlemen who were then present. More than this 
it was not considered advisable for us, as scrutineers, to do ; less, we could not do, in 
justice to ourselves. 
Mr. Horton: As one of the scrutineers appointed by the general meeting, and 
niore particularly concerned at the table at which Mr. Dickinson presided, with my 
friend Mr. Fowler, may I be allowed to ask one question of Mr. Young ? 
Mr, Flux : You may expect him in a minute or two. 
Mr. Horton : My question is, Whether it was not possible for the Chairman of 
the section to make a false statement to his colleagues without their knowledge ? I 
ask this question, because Mr. Dickinson has publicly charged myself and Mr. Fowler 
with knowingly assisting him in making a false statement. 
Mr. Andrews : I beg to say, it is quite within the power of any chairman of a 
section under our present regulations, to mislead those gentlemen who act as clerks, 
and I beg to say most distinctly, that I am quite certain that neither Mr. Horton, nor 
Mr. Fowler, nor the other gentleman, who were acting as clerks in section Yo. 2, knew 
what was going on. They may at one time, and, I think, when it was too late, have 
had some suspicions, but to say that they knew, or had any complicity in the matter 
is abominable. 
Mr. Wellington (of Oakham) : Perhaps I ought to apologize for not putting in my 
appearance yesterday ; but I did not receive my letter till too late for the early train, so 
that I should not have been here in time if I had started, or I should most certainly ha\ e 
done so. I feel, as every other gentleman must feel, who acted as scrutineer upon 
that day, that our character is assailed in a way that ought publicly to be cleared up, 
that we ought to receive a public apology in this room from Mr. Dickinson, or any 
other gentleman who has charged us with doing wrong. I venture to say, that at our 
table not a wrong wa 3 done. I care not who the man is who charges us w T ith wrong, 
but I would tell him at once that it was a falsehood. 
The Chairman : Will Mr. Andrews now be kind enough to read those Reports ? 
Mr. Andrews : If you please, Sir; the first is dated May 19th, 1870 : 
“We, the undersigned Scrutineers, appointed at the Twenty-ninth Annual General
