The CHAIRMAN—The accounts as passed by the
Auditors will be now read by the Secretary.
The SECRETARY then read the audited accounts.
The CHAlRMAN—Gentleman, before moving that the
report be received, I beg to state that if any gentleman
wishes to ask any question on the subject of the report,
or of the accounts, I shall be most happy to give him an
answer. As regards the accounts which have been pre-
pared by the Auditors, they can either be examined now,
or, as they always lie at the office, every person can see
them during the course of the year.
After a pause, during which no person present mani-
fested any disposition to put any questions,
The CHAIRMAN continued—As it seems that no gen-
tleman is inclined to make any observations on the
report or the accounts, I take it for granted, that the
accounts and the report are satisfactory. I believe that
we have in that report stated every thing to the Proprie-
tors so as to place them, as far as regards a knowledge of
