A proposal having been formally made by the auditors to the Central Committee, for the amendment of the seventeenth rule, relating to the close of the financial year, and by them submitted for the approval of the general meeting, the following resolution was adopted unanimously,

That the financial year shall be considered as closing with the 31st. of December, from which time the subscriptions for the ensuing year shall become due.

The names of the Vice-President, and six members of the Central Committee, selected to go out in annual course, having been submitted to the general meeting, the following members, nominated by the Committee, in accordance with the rules, were unanimously elected to fill up the vacancies.

The Rev. Joseph Hunter, F.S.A., one of the Assistant Keepers of the Records, was also proposed for election as a member of the Central Committee, in the place of Thomas William King, Esq., Rouge-dragon Pursuivant, who had retired, and he was unanimously elected.

Several requisitions having been presented, inviting the Institute to visit certain cathedral towns and cities of the kingdom, in the course of their annual meetings; especially by Sir Charles Anderson, Bart., on the part of the Lord Lieutenant, and many influential persons of the county of Lincoln, as also of the mayor and municipal authorities of Lincoln; by W. B. Turnbull, Esq., Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, on the part of the council of that society; by Edward Foss, Esq., on the part of the Recorder, and many persons of influence in Rochester, and its neighbourhood; the invitations received from Norwich and Wells, at the previous general meeting at Winchester, having also been recalled to the consideration of the meeting, it was resolved, that the annual meeting of the Institute for the year 1847 should be held at Norwich. The Lord Bishop of Norwich was then unanimously elected President for that year.

A recommendation was then proposed to the meeting, and adopted unanimously, that in future the subscribing members should be entitled to attend the monthly meetings, held during the season in London, to have access to the library and collections of the Institute, and to receive the annual volume; the tickets of admission to the annual meeting being issued to subscribing members or non-subscribers at the usual price.
