13. The first business of the meeting shall be the reading of the notice convening the meeting, and of a copy of the voting paper circulated as hereinafter provided. The second business shall be the appointment by the Chairman of two tellers, the third the appointment by the meeting of two scrutineers, and the fourth the taking of the votes. 14. The election of Governors by the Associates shall be made by means of signed voting papers.

No election shall take effect unless the votes of at least one-third of the total number of Associates for the time being shall be tendered at the meeting, including votes received through the post-office. In case of the failure of the meeting by reason of the non-tender of the required number of votes within the space of two hours after the time fixed for holding the meeting, the meeting shall be adjourned for fourteen days, of which adjournment, and the reason thereof, the Registrar shall, within three days after such meeting, send notice to each Associate whose address is registered.

In case the adjourned meeting shall likewise fail by reason of the non-tender of the required number of votes, the Chairman of such adjourned meeting shall report the fact to the next meeting of the Council, who shall report to the Court that the Associates have not asserted their right to nominate to the Governorship then vacant.

No further meeting shall be called for the purpose of such nomination until another vacancy shall occur, unless the Court shall direct a special meeting to be convened for that purpose.

15. Seven days at least before the meeting the Registrar shall send to each Associate whose address is registered, a voting paper containing a list of all the persons who have been duly proposed, with the names of the proposers and the number of vacancies. Each Associate who desires to vote shall place his initials opposite the name or names of the persons or respective persons (not exceeding the number of vacancies) for whom he votes, and shall sign the paper; and, in case any Associate shall be desirous of voting without being present at the meeting, he shall send such voting paper by post in a closed envelope to the Registrar at the College, so as to arrive not later than

the time fixed for the opening of the meeting. Any failure in the exact observance of this bye-law shall render a voting paper invalid.

16. All voting papers sent to the Registrar shall bear on the outside the words "voting paper.'

17. The Registrar shall, at the meeting, and after the appointment of scrutineers, deliver, unopened, the voting papers he may have received to the Chairman of the meeting, who shall hand them to the tellers.

18. The Chairman shall then receive the voting papers which may be tendered by Associates present at the meeting, and hand them to the tellers.

19. At the end of two hours from the time fixed for opening the meeting the chairman shall call upon the tellers to report to him in writing the result of the voting, and to return to him all the voting papers. The tellers in discharge of their duties shall observe such directions as the Chairman shall consider it expedient to give.

20. After receiving the report of the tellers the Chairman shall declare the name or names of the person or persons who shall appear to have received the greatest number of votes, and such person or persons shall be then declared to be duly nominated, unless the majority of the Associates present resolve that a scrutiny shall be held.

21. In case a scrutiny shall be resolved upon, the Chairman shall adjourn the meeting to a convenient time, and shall, with the Registrar and Scrutineers, proceed to a scrutiny, either forthwith or otherwise as he shall direct. In case of a division of opinion during the scrutiny, the Chairman and Scrutineers alone shall vote, and the vote of two shall be conclusive. The result of the scrutiny shall be certified in writing by the Chairman and Scrutineers, or any two of them, and shall be read by the Chairman at the adjourned meeting.

22. If the result of an election shall be doubtful by reason of two or more persons having received an equal number of votes, the Chairman shall for each vacancy have a casting vote.

23. The person or persons who shall have the majority of votes shall be held to have been elected, and the Chairman shall thereupon sign the instrument of nomination accordingly.

The voting papers shall then be destroyed.

24. The Registrar shall keep minutes of the proceedings of these meetings in a book provided for the purpose.

25. After the business of any meeting for the appointment of a member of the Court shall have been closed, the Associates present may then, if they so desire, hold a meeting under a Chairman of their own appointment, and may proceed to discuss any matters affecting the interest of the College.

26. In the month of October in each year, at such time as he may from time to time determine, the Principal shall call a meeting of the Associates of the College, to be held in the College under his presidency, or that of such other member of the Council as he may select; and at such meeting the Associates may discuss any matters affecting the interests of the College, provided that no subject shall be entertained inconsistent with the fundamental condition of the College or the due maintenance of its discipline.

The Registrar shall attend every such meeting, and shall take minutes of the proceedings thereat, and such minutes shall be laid before the Council at its meeting next thereafter.

The Principal may make such regulations as to the proceedings at such meetings and as to the mode of convening the same as he may from time to time think fit.

27. Other meetings of Associates may, with the permission of the Council, be held within the College, provided that no subject of discussion shall be entertained at any such meeting inconsistent with the fundamental conditions of the College, or the due maintenance of its discipline. The time and place of holding any meeting must have received the previous assent of the Principal, and no such meeting shall be considered to represent the body of Associates unless it shall have been convened by a circular stating the proposed subject of discussion, and either issued under the direction of the Council or signed by three Associates, and sent by post to every Associate whose address is registered at least seven days before the date fixed for the meeting, and unless (in the case of the circular being signed by three Associates) such three

Associates shall, before the commencement of the meeting, deliver to the Registrar a declaration signed by them, stating that a copy of such circular was duly posted to each Associate whose address is registered. (For list of Associates see page 184).
