The Board for the management of the Temporalities Board beg leave to submit their Annual Report, along with a state- ment of their investments, an abstract of the Treasurer's account for the past year, duly audited, a detailed statement of payments made to ministers, and an estimate of the revenue and expenditure for the half-year ending 30th June next. Owing to changes in the administration of the Fund, result- ing from the Union of the Churches in June last, the Board is now charged with the payment of a considerably larger amount of annuities than formerly. The number of ministers paid on 25th November last was 152 as compared with 103 the pre- vious half-year; the amounts paid being respectively $20,369 and $14,850. The number of Beneficiaries on the roll at the present time is two less than at the date of last payment, owing to the resignations of Rev. W. M. Black and Rev. John Gordon. A meeting of the Beneficiaries was held in St. Paul's Church, Montreal, on the second day of February last, in conformity with the provisions of the Act of the Province of Quebec, 38 Victoria, chapter 64. At this meeting a code of By-laws was adopted, regulating the mode of filling vacancies in the Board, and of appointing Auditors. A copy of these By-laws and also of the Act of the Legislature of Quebec, above referred to, for the management of the Temporalities Fund, has been sent to each of the Beneficiaries, and, in accordance with By- law No. 8, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Temporalities Board has been instructed to funiish each of them with a copy of the report and the financial statement appended thereto. Messrs. James Mitchell and Alexander McPherson, of Mont- real, were duly appointed the Auditors of the books and ac- counts of the Board at the aforesaid meeting of Beneficiaries, and the thanks of the Board are acknowledged to these gen- tlemen for having accepted the appointment, and for their ser\'ices in connection therewith. All which is respectfully submitted. WILLIAM DARLING, CAairman. Montreal, lOth May, 1876.
