ed for each of Messrs. Charles llaszard and?

Henry Longvvorth, as Secretary for the ensuing ear. and as we both voted for those gentlemen as well as for Mr. Stewart, we think that one of the ballot papers may have been ovcrlo in the recording,and that Mr. Stewart may liavc lost ii vote to which lie was entitled. are therefore of opinion that it would be advis- able to call another meeting of the Committee to take the subject of the appointment of Secre- tary. into consideration, And are.
