The most important matter of business to which the Council 
have to advert is the completion of the arrangements connected 
with the acquisition by this Society of the land lately in the 
occupation of Mr. Bearpark. As stated in the Report for 1862, 
the Society obtained a lease of this ground from the Crown for 
thirty-one years, at a rent of £120 per annum, and on getting 
possession in April last, the Council found tenants for the 
greater part of the property. 
Arrangements have since been made with the Committee of 
the Blind School, by which the Society will obtain the piece of 
ground containing the Choir of the Abbey Church in exchange 
for an equal portion of the new property. The Council hope 
that this will he thrown open to the Members in the course of 
the coming spring. The whole of the remaining land and the 
tenements upon the property are now let at an annual rent of 
£111 10s., so that the Society will eventually obtain this
