ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, RWM THE MANAGERS o» THE TEMPORALITIES' BOARD, For the Tear ended Slat December, 1880, For the information of the Beneficiaries, In conformity with the Act of the Legislature of Quebec, j8 Vict. Cap 64. 260 St. James Street, MONTBBAL. JAMES CROIL, Secretary- Treasurer. I ANNUAL REPORT. ! I i r !j To THE Beneficiaries of the Temporalities Board. In the Case of " Dobie versus The Temporalities Board," in the Superior Court, Montreal, judgment was ren- dered by Mr. Justice Jettdon 29th December, 1879, i" favour of the Board, and the injunction was dismissed. From this decision an appeal was taken to the Court of Queen's Bench. On the 19th of June, 1880, said Court gave judgment in favour of the Board, leaving the costs to be paid by the Appellant. Whereupon the Appellant moved for leave to appeal from said judgment to Her Majesty in Privy Council. I^eave having been granted on September 17th, the case was transmitted to the Privy Council. It is expected that a final decision will be given in the course of the present year. At a Meeting of the Board held on the tenth of No- vember last, it was resolved that no further payments be made from the Temporalities Fund until the judgment in appeal to the Privy Council be rendered. While deeply regretting the circumstances which, in the judgment of the Board, justified this decision, the Board were led to adopt it from prudential reasons, and not without due regard for the interests of the Beneficiaries. The accompanying financial statement shews that the revenues of the Board are not more at present than to meet the payments hitherto made to the commuting minis- ters, the privileged ministers, and the annual grant to Queen's College. The Assets of the Board, as per accompanying memo- randum, amount at this date to $332,083. The balance of eighty-five per cent, remaining i^npaid on eighty-eight shares of stock of the Consolidated Bank of Canada having been paid during the year, the number of shares now held by the Board is three hundred and eighty-four (384), of the nominal par value of $23,040. It is estimated that about twenty-five per cent. (25%) of this amount may eventually be realized. In the meantime it is valued at $5000 in the schedule of assets. It is proper to state in this connection that the serious loss sustained by the Board as holders of this stock is mainly, if not indeed entirely, due to the fact that the Executive Com- i I mi'ttee were prevented by a notarial protest lodged in the Banks by the Rev. Gavin I^ng — so long ago as 1877 — from disposing of this, as well as other Bank stocks, at ? time when they could have done so advantageously and with a comparatively trifling loss of capital. The Executive Com- mittee have nct as yet found a permanent investment for the large amount thrown upon their hands a year ago, by the maturing of certain Bonds. It adds to the embarrassment of the Board that this very large proportion of their funds ($1 1 1,983) is at present on deposit, yielding interest at the rate of only three per cent, per annum. This is felt by the Board to be the most serious of all the difficulties with which they have at present to contend. The Expenditure for the year was $28,727.73. The Revenue from investments was $20,139.20; the amount of capital expended being $8,017. This covers only the pay- ments to Ministers and to Queen's College, which became due on the 30th of June, 1880, amounting to $18,626. The ex- penses of management were paid in part — $388.40. There were also paid for law expenses $483.33 {;^ioo stg.), and the instalments due on 88 shares of stock of the Consolidated Bank of Canada standing in the name of the Board when that bank stopped payment, $7480. The Changes in the Roll of Beneficiaries are as follows : — The Rev. Alexander McLennan died at Stella, Am- herst Island, Ont., on the 20th of May, 1880, in the fifty-fourth year of his age. The B.ev. John Ferguson, formerly minister of Lobo, and Rev. V\''illiam P. Begg, formerly of St. Stephen, New Bmnswick, removed and ceased their connection with the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The Rev. John L. Stuart of Trenton died on the 6th of May last. The names or the Managers are as follows : — Mr. William Darling, Chairman. Bev. John Cook, D.D. Sir Hugh Allan. Bsv. John Jenkins, D.D. Mr. James Michie. Bev. D. M. Oordon, B.D. Mr. Alexander Mitchell. Bev. Gavin Lang. Mr. John L. Morris. Bev. Bobert Campbell, M.A. Judge Dennistoun. Mr. William Walker. The Auditors are Messrs. James Mitchell and Alexander Macpherson, who have the thanks of the Board for their ser- vices in examining the books and accounts, and which they have attested as being correct.
