engaged for thirty years and upwards, and therefore 
their past services must be considered. If two guineas 
each course were charged instead of one, there would per¬ 
haps be a deficiency of £200 instead of £400 ; and if 
three guineas were charged probably there would be no 
deficiency at all. He believed that it would be better at 
first to deal with the letter only. 
Mr. Greenish thought the letter should be dealt with, 
but still the Committee ought to have a wider scope for 
their investigation. 
Mr. Brown said he would alter the motion to this 
form :— 
“ That the letter from Professors Redwood and Bentley 
be referred to the Library, Museum, and Laboratory 
Committee to report thereon, and also as to the other 
educational arrangements, and to report thereon to 
the Council at an early meeting.” 
-might be announced as vacant, to be filled up by October 
next. The subject was referred to the Library, Museum, 
and Laboratory Committee. 
EXAMINATIONS IN LONDON. 
May 28th, 2 9th, and 80th, 1873. 
^ Present on the 28th—Messrs. All chin, Barnes, Carteighe, 
Gracknell, Davenport, Edwards, Gale, Haselden, Linford, 
Martindale, and Southall. 
Present on the 29th and 30th—Messrs. Allchin, Barnes, 
Brown, Carteighe, Cracknell, Davenport, Edwards, Gale, 
Haselden, Linford, Martindale, and Southall. 
Dr. Greenhow was present on the 28th, on behalf of 
the Privy Council. 
That would leave the Committee at liberty to take up the 
letter first, and to report thereon, and also subsequently, 
or simultaneously if they thought fit, to take into consi¬ 
deration any other matters bearing on the educational 
arrangement. 
The resolution was then carried unanimously. 
Inaugural Address. 
It was unanimously resolved that Mr. R. Reynolds, of 
Leeds, be invited to deliver the Inaugural Address in 
October next. 
Annuitant on the Benevolent Fund. 
The Secretary said it was necessary to decide whether 
they should elect one or two annuitants in October next. 
According to their rules, annuities were only granted from 
the income of the invested property, and the state of the 
funds at present would not allow of the election of two 
annuitants. 
MAJOR, EXAMINATION. 
Seven candidates were examined. Two failed. The 
following five passed, and were declared duly qualified to 
be registered as “ Pharmaceutical Chemists

MINOR EXAMINATION. 
Eighty-one candidates were examined. Twenty-four 
failed. The following fifty-seven passed, and were de¬ 
clared duly qualified to be registered as “ Chemists and 
Druggists — 
Mr. Robbins thought it would be a pity to confine the 
annuities to the interest on funded property. 
Mr. Sandford said they could not touch the invested 
capital according to the bye-laws. 
Mr. W. Scott Brown said it was impossible to settle 
an annuity on a person unless capital was invested to 
produce the requisite income. 
Mr. Robbins said he thought if people were properly 
encouraged they would support the Benevolent Fund 
much more largely than they did at present. He should 
like to see the same encouragement given as was done in 
many other societies by conferring the rank of Vice-Pre¬ 
sident, or giving a certain number of votes to those who 
subscribed a certain amount. There were also persons 
who, being members of the Society, had votes, but never 
subscribed at all, which was a principle he did not under¬ 
stand. 
t Mr. Sandford said that arose from the fact that a por¬ 
tion of the money from the “General Fund” of the 
Society was from time to time transferred to the Benevo¬ 
lent Fund. 
The Secretary thought if the Council would pass a 
resolution to elect two annuitants in October they might 
try in the meantime to raise the requisite funds. He 
thought he could see his way to raising the necessary 
amount for investment. 
Mr. W. Scott Brown said he believed there was a 
great deal of misapprehension throughout the country with 
regard to the position of the Fund. 
It was then resolved that one annuitant should be 
elected in October next, the annuity to be of the value of 
£30 per annum. 
Library, Museum, and Laboratory Committee. 
The Report of this Committee was received and adopted, 
but it contained nothing requiring special notice. 
A letter was read from Professor Attfield, reporting 
that Mr. Shenstone, who had been acting as Assistant- 
Demonstrator in the Laboratory, had accepted an engage¬ 
ment in another establishment, and asking that the office |
