ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
The general quarterly (and in this case annual)
court of this institution was held yesterday at the Thatched
House Tavern, Si. James's-street; Admiral Sir C. ADAM in
the chair. Tlie minutes of the previous quarterly meeting
having been read and confirmed,
The secretary, Captain DIXON, read the balance sheet,
from which it appeared that the total receipts during the year
had been 3,2031. 6e. 4d., including a balance of upwards of
7001. fee:maths previous year's account; and the expenditure,
2,2701. 11s. 84., leaving a balance of 9321. 13e. Bd. The
total amount of properly invested in the name of the society
in government stock being 34,8481. 2a. Id.
An item of 1631. charged in the expenditure as incidental
expenses occasioned some dl.cussion, Captain Dickenson and
other members of the court complaining that the word "
in-
cidertal" was too vague to cover so large a sum.
The SECRETARY explained that this item included two
payments. one of between 601. and 601., and the other be-
tween 601. and 701. for law expellees.
Capt. DICKENSON thought those expenses should have
been charged under a separate head.
The SECRETARY observed that the present balance-
sheet was made out according to the form which had been
invariably ade pted.
The accounts were then passed.
Admiral Sir J. West was then elected vice-president of
the institution, in the room of Sir J. Hawkins Whitehead,
deceased, and a committee of three, consisting of Captain
Dickenson, Captain Clark, and Lieut. Hall, to examine all
nr.morials foe the next halt year, was appointed.
Capt. MARSHALL wished to know whether the widows
and orphans of atm cmimanders who paid only 101. a year,
would be eligible for relief ? He asked the question because
he had been told that tney were not, in consequence of the
subscription being deficient the odd 6d. to make up the hall
guinea • year.
The SECRETARY replied that the rule distinctly laid it
down that the subscription for officers of that rank to entitle
their widows and children to relief from the hinds of the
institution, was 10s. 6d. a year. Probably the court would
nut be disposed to reject altogether an application when 101.
a year only had been subscribed, but there was no claim.
A notice of motion was given for the next meeting, to con-
sider the propriety of publishing the whole particulars, in-
cluding the trial, from the shorthand writer a notes of the
case, between the society and Miss Home, Sir J Ross, and
&Retires and that a grant Ica made each year to the Royal
Nava! Female School equivalent to 40 votes.
&Jansen were then directed to withdraw, it have been
dee ided that the only other business on the paper, via., a
w rtice of motion relative to the claim of some individual,
'which had been standing over from the previous quarterly
minim!, should be discussed with closed doon.
