association was held at the institute, West Derby-road,
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Thomas Jones occupied the
chair. There were upwards of seventy of the members

THE ELECTION OF A TRUSTEE.

The CHAIRMAN said the first business would be the
election of a trustee in the place of Mr. H. Morris, and
as such, he should be most happy to hear some gentle-
man named.

Mr. WILLIAM COWARD seconded the proposition
which was unanimously adopted, amidst much applause.

THE ALTERATION OF THE RULES.

consideration of the six new rules, the adoption of which
the committee recommended. Although they would be
submitted to that meeting, before they could become
a part of the deed of trust they would hEtTe to be con-
firmed at another general meeting, which would be
convened for that purpose. However, he would call
upon the secretary to read those resolutions, and then
perhaps some gentlemen might have some observations
to make upon them.

Mr. Arx.iNsoN, at the request of the tileetii9(r,
explained the nature of the altefations and the Iteceasity
that existed 'for the Paeienf amendment 'being,earried
into effect; fair at the present they had no power of
recovering any amount from any person 'who might
hare reeeiyed the herie4ts af the, inetitntion, oral after-
Ward; become possessed of property- Again, the com-
mittee had had considerable annoyance and diffieulty to
contend with from peranns putting in cjairaa for any
property, however small, which belong to deceased
inmates, although they had never before come forward
to render assistance. Ile concluded his observations by
moving the adoption of the rules as just read.
Mr. J. Atttsox had much pleasure in seconding the
proposition,
TOT thought that tie siNeg was of ao great
importance; that should be well considered.
Kr. DENNIS LARNIN disapproved of the alterations
altogether, and characterised the conduct of the com-
mitte as not only illegal, but tyrannical. In fact, as it
was said oust of doors, the committee was the whole
society, and the members merely went there as- auto-
matons, flier. the speaker wls Balled Co order by the
chairman. I e proceeded to say that 'the'aSsoeiation
had. full powe4 to redress any grievance, if they liked,
b,Y regrring it to their solicitor, who was paid for doing
such work. .

Ur. RYMER, solicitor, assured Mr. Larkin that the
association only paid hitn V(her} they engked him, and
as a proof' of that, last year his bill was only £3. 10s.
Re also stated that the rules had been drawn on the
same basis as those of the Loudon and Birmingham
associations, but he would fr4ely tell the members that
he thought that there would be some difficulty in
carrying out the regulations with reference to infants.
In reply to Mr. Itairstow,
Mr. ATKA/490N said there had been a case where three
children had been got into the institution, and for years
recelyed all the benefits, while the father had only paid
in three subscriptions:, And then left
After some further conversation, Mr. Luff moved an

mitted to the meeting be not adopted."
