REIGATE.

THE SEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Society was held at Gatton Hall, Reigate.

The company first assembled at Merstham Station, from whence they proceeded to the church, which was described by Alfred Heales, Esq., F.S.A.

From thence to Chipstead Church, which was described by the Rev. P. Aubertin, the Rector; after which the Members and their friends were conveyed to Gatton Church, which was ably described by the Rev. J. C. Wynter.

The company then proceeded to Gatton Hall, the house and grounds having been liberally thrown open to the Society by Sir Hugh Cairns, who at the time occupied this fine seat.

The Chair was taken at two p.m. by the Hon. W. J. MONSON, M.P., a Vice-President.

The Chairman, after a brief address, called upon the Hon. Secretary, H. W. Sass, Esq., to read the Minutes of the sixth Annual General Meeting at Richmond, on July 5th, 1859, which were confirmed.

The Report of the Council, the Balance Sheet for the year ending December 31st, 1859, and the Report of the Auditors, were then read:

Report of the Council.

The Council have much pleasure in submitting the Financial Statement of the Society for the year 1859-60 to the General Meeting, and trust that the state of the funds will appear satisfactory.

The Council fully expected to have produced at this Meeting the third part of the Society's Journal; but, owing to the decease of Mr. G. B. Webb, whose loss the Society deeply lament, some delay has been occasioned they trust, however, that the Transactions will be ready for delivery to Members early in August.

The Council beg to call particular attention to the Illustration Fund, and to point out that, owing to the liberality of a few Members of the Society, a fac-simile of a most interesting document will appear in Part III., which otherwise the funds at their disposal would not have allowed.

At the death of Mr. Webb, the late Honorary Secretary, H. W. Sass, Esq., was requested to accept the office of Hon. Secretary, pro tempore, until the present Meeting, the Council being fully assured that this General Meeting will confirm the appointment. The Council have considered it beneficial to the Society's interests that the offices should be removed from Southampton Street to 7, St. Mildred's Court, Poultry, Mr. Sass having placed a room there at the Society's disposal.
