Secretary than by leaving the matter entirely in the hands 
of the Secretary. If it was intended to have the jiro- 
ceedings published at all in future, the Committee had

dropped altogether. He would not take the responsibility 
himself. 
Mr. Ernes thought a reporter should be admitted, and 
allowed to publish what he thought fit. He did not consider 
it advisable for the Council to publish their own reports. If 
the press were admitted he knew two or three reporters would

Mr. Goodwin, who is not now a member of the Council) was

The Finance Committee reported that they had examined

expenses amounted to 11s. od., which the Committee
