The CHAIRMAN said the next business was to read
Certain records of the committee relating to the late
frauds committed by the vice-president, Mr. Anderson.
Mr. WILLIAM BROWN said that, perhaps, it would be
better if the records were not read. Now they had got
the new rules they could go on. and prevent such nns.,
tikes occurring again. By reading the records it would
only recal unpleasant recollections. • The Trustees present Were also cif this opinion. Mr.
Iriniafl stated that end thing Ithieh had come before the
coninlittde should iiO4 he gettled: • It was in the power
of the trustees, if they flitnight fit, to ptcisecute Mr.
Anderson flit. ,embeiileirient ; lint; tinder, hid diroUrna

him, •
Mr; ali6e4vlithpig opiriien. He

If so, it would be only saddling the state with an un-
necessary expense.
The new trustees were then elected. Mr. Bramley-
Moore was substituted •for Mr. ' Anderson, as vice-
president. The Mayor (S. 11. Graves, Esq.) was
aPPeinted president ex officio. The following names were
