GEORGE'S SOCIETY, QUEBEC. FOUNDED, M, DCCC, XXXV. ©MFiicEis AWS) mEmmmi WITH THE REPORTS, ENDING 5th JANUARY, 1852. PRINTED BY GILBERT STANLEY, 4, ST. ANNE STREET. 1852. I I ST. GEORGE'S SOCIETY. ANNUAL EEPORT FOR 185], Presented 5tli January^ 185a* X HE term of office having now expired, your Committee oi' Management beg to lay before you a brief account of their administration of the affairs of the Society during the year 1851. The first in importance is the proceedings of the Sub- Committee of Charity. Your Committee have to express its entire satisfaction with the manner of distributing among honest and deserving applicants during the year ; several sick and infirm persons have been assisted, some have been forwarded to their friends in England, while others were enabled to reach their destination in Canada West ; tempo- rary relief has also been afforded to many. Details of the whole will be found in the report of the Committee of Charity. The number relieved was 35; and the amount so expended £66 3s. 9d. St. George's Day was observed with the usual celebra- tion. The services of the Cathedral were performed by the Chaplains of the Society, in which his Lordship the Bishop of Quebec, Patron of the Society, took part. An eloquent Sermon was preached by the Rev. George Mackie, D. D. The Society are again indebted to the talented organist of the Cathedral, and the ladies and gentlemen forming the volunteer choir for an excellent musical service. The col- lection on the occasion amounted to jG23 17s. fid. The Society has to deplore the loss of four members dur- ing the past year. 1st — Peter Paterson, Esq., he was an original member of the society, became a life member in 1844. 2nd — Wm. Bennett, Esq., who for several years most effi- ciently discharged the duties of Secretary, and at the time of his decease was one of the Vice-Presidents; he always took an active part in the management of the society, and his loss will be long felt by his brother Englishmen. 3rd and 4.th— In Mr. Edwin Hull and Mr. Wm. Gillard the society has sustained the loss of two respectable mem- bers. Nine new members have joined the society, and no less than seventeen have become life members durir^the year. Your Committee has much pleasure in referring to the Treasurer's Report, which for the 16th time shews a steady annual increase, more fully explained in reference to the books of our indefatigable Treasurer, R. Symes, Esq. The by-laws of the Society have been re-modelled in con- formity with the Act of Incorporation, and in a few days will be placed in the hands of the members. The whole respectfully submitted. J. MUSSON, ^ T r , T Tresideiit. Quebec, 5th .Trinuary, 1852. i 1 BEFORT OF THE GHABITABLE COMMITTEE, FOR 1851. W. B. Mkyer, i. Chairman. II. W. Welch,. Secretarv.

The Sixteenth Annual Financial Statement is now siil>- niitted, and the Treasurer has much pleasure in presenting to the Society the cohtinued prosperity of this truly charita- ble institution. The steady progress of the Permanent Fund will be gratifying to the members. Th? amount giv- en in charity during the past year is ,£66. 3s. 9d. distribut- ed to 35 applicants. The receipts for subscriptions and entrance fees amounts to j640 5s. The sum added to the Permanent Fund is JC105 3s. Sd. which now amounts to JG1277 Is. j£1225 is permanently invested in Bank Stock, Fire Debentures and Quebec Water Works. £52 Is. is temporarily placed in the Savings Bank. Nine new members have been elected since the last re- port, four of whom entered the Society as life members. Thirteen old members have availed themselves of the re- duction in the fee, and have become life members, and the wisdom of having adopted the recommendation contained in the Treasurer's last report will be manifest, when he states that the arrears of annual subscribers amounts to the large sum of near £50. Ti\e prosperity and permanence of the St. George's Society nay be chiefly attributed to the system of Life Membership, for which the Society owe a lasting debt of gratitude to the late Eiirl of Durham, from whose suggestion and example, as the first life member, it was established. The fee being now only ,£5, the Treasurer re- spectfully recommends to the members to place their names upon the permanent list. The present list of members is as follows : — Life members 72 Honorary 8 Ordinary 127 207 R. SYMES, Treasurer, St. George's Society. Quebec, 31st Deer., 1«51. f m ST. GEORGE S SOCIETY, QUEBEC.
