Chairman.

Mr. BYNG stated the object of the present meet-

mended the intended establishment to the patronage

The Rev. A. REID, the Secretary to the London
Asylum, stated, that he was induced to assemble the
meeting for the purpose above-mentioned, by the
fact, that his personal experience gave him many
opportunities of seeing many infant orphans, whose

extreme youth, the admission into them being limited
to seven years of age. Re concluded by moving
resolutions declaratory of the necessity and of the
origin of the institution.
The Rev. Dr. STYLES, after expressing his sur-
prise that none of the Peers or Bishops were present,
seconded the resolutions in a neat address.

Mr. Byng, the Chairman, was declared President
of the Infant Society by universal consent.
Mr. BYNG expressed his acknowledgments for the
honour conferred on him, and his intention to sub-
scribe 100 guineas for the support of the Charity.

thanks were voted to the Chairman and the Secre-
tary, and the meeting, which consisted mainly of

women, bearing in their arms infant children, in-
tended candidates for admission into the proposed
