• Air. JAarEa I. I. Alt n the present steward, in a neat ad.
dress, declared the object of meeting, and stated, for the in.
formation of the many individuals who had recently joined the
Company, that the property or the body had been in a state of
considerable difficulty and danger, but that by the persevering
exertions of Mr. Brutnell, and his associates, a settlement had
been etfected, which had rendered that secure which had for-
merly been doubtful. The plate upon the table was about to
be presented as a token of the sense the Company entertained
of the merit of the Gentlemen for whom it was designed, and to
.this memorial he might add his own testimony, that whenever
the ening of the Company had required the services of Mr.
firumell and 'Mr. Scott, their utmost exertions had never been
wanting. The steward then called upon the secretary to read
the insriptions on the plate—The inscriptions were similar—
that on the piece designed for Mr. Brumell was as follows
" Presented by the Incorporated Company of Cordwainers,
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to Mr. George Bunnell, as a token of
the able, upright, and independent manner in which, for five'
successive years, he discharged the office of Warden of the Com-
pany, and, of their .gratitude to hini for his unwearied and suc-
cessful exertions' in securing to them their property, and direct-
ing the application of their 1?tind5.....21.5t June, 1824."'

of „plate, in token of the opinion his brethren entertained of his
services as one of. their trustees, and for five years their ste-
ward. Be had the sinerest pleasure in performing this service,
and wisheti'Mr. lirumell long to possess this pledge of their
esteem.

Mr.Meillard 'then addressed . Mr. Scott, and after compll;
menting him on the very able and upright manner in.whiCh he
had sustained the office of steward of the company, and attend-
ed to their every interest, expressed his wish that the plate he

stimulate his descendants to follow the footsteps of their worthy

the satisfaction he felt at meeting with so marked an expres-
sion of the approbation of the company : he said his feelings
were. so strongly excited, that he could only declare, that he
trusted he should ever continue to watch the interests of the
company, and to.discharge to the best otitis abilities what-
ever duty might devolve upon him. Whenever any service
required his attention, he hoped always to he found at his
post; and it was-hia earnest desire that there never might be
wanting any of his family to whom the company might not
look with confidence, as having similar feelings towards them
with himself.
