Temporary Members bave been admitted. Amongst deceased 
Members tlie names of tbe Yenerable Archdeacon Hey, W. C. 
Anderson, Esq., Dr. Shann, the Rev. Gieorge Rowe, and the 
Rev. R. Daniel stand prominent, and their loss will be deeply 
felt by the Society. The Venerable Archdeacon Hey had 
been a Member of onr Society for upwards of forty years. In 
the year 1841 he became a Member of the Council, and a 
few years afterwards he was elected to the office of Vice- 
President, which he held at the time of his death. During 
that long period he was ever the good friend of our Society 
in promoting its usefulness and assisting in the management 
of its affairs. Although his time up to the close of his life was 
largely drawn upon in discharging the varied duties connected 
with the offices and dignities which he held in the Church, he

his death, and had on previous occasions discharged the same 
office. He filled many honourable offices in the City of York, 
was Honorary Phj^sician to the York County Hospital, and a 
Justice of the Peace for the City. During a long life he was 
held in the hiHiest esteem bv his fellow citizens, and his loss

times he was a benefactor, attending to their wants in the most 
generous manner.

of York. At the first outbreak of the Cholera in 1831 he 
greatly distinguished himself by his zeal in alleviating the

continuance, was one of the Lecturers there. Upwards of
