THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

A general court of this society was held at the
offices, Trafalgar-square, Mr. J. M. Case in the
chair, when some interesting facts were pre-
sented as to the rescue of persons from drown-
ing. Mr. Lambton Young, the secretary, stated
that in Hyde-park during the last year, the
persons who were taken from the water by the
society's aid numbered 65, of whom 49 were
successfully treated. Of the 65 there were ten
found drowned, and six had been in the water too
long to admit of being successfully treated. Of
the 49 recovered, 19 were attempted suicides. In
what are termed " general cases," viz., of rescues in
other parts, 363 persons had been taken from the
water, of whom 337 had been recovered, and of these
31 were attempted suicides. The society had given 19
silver medallions, seven bronze medallions, and a large
number of other rewards for saving life. The Duke of
Argyll was then elected president, and Mr. Wm.
Hawes was re-elected treasurer and chairman.
Other officers were elected, and the secretary re-
ported that the number of persons bathing in the
Serpentineduring the past year amounted to 502,995,
and that the boats, receiving-house, and gear gene-
rally were in good condition. Silver medallions were
then presented to the following persons : --To Mr.
Samuel Dyer, for saving three persons; to Mr. Uriah
feather, for saving two persons ; to Mr. Henry
Stocks, a chief officer of Coastguard, for saving one
life ; to Mr D. 11. James, for saving Miss Osborne ;
to Charles Porter, policeman, for saving six per-
sons ; to Sub-Lieutenant C. E. Drake, R.N., for
saving a seaman ; to Charles Pride, and Viscount
Bury, for saving three lives at sea ; and to Captain
A. Brown, for saving part of a ship's crew. Thanks
were voted to the press, the secretary, and chair-
man, and the proceedings closed.
