Arrangements were made for taking a fresh place of meeting , and the 7 . i . gave in his resignation of the chair , stating that he was remo 7 i ' ng to London , and regretting that the change wonld involve the severance of the ties thafc had so long bound him to Chapter 6 'J Comp . Herrin proposed the thanks of the Chapter to their Principal for his conduct in the chair for tho last four years , Comp , G . W .

Wheeler seconded the motion , saying the Chapter would never be ablo to repay tho obligations thoy were under to Dr . Humphries . He had not only fulfilled the ordinary duties of a First Principal , but had it nofc been for his extraordinary exertions , the C 6 iifc > ter would have been closed two years since , but ho had kept it open when very few would have been able to do so , and whoever they might got

to till that office in future , ho was sure thoy would never get anyone who would devote more of his time to their service , or preside with greater judgment over their deliberations . Comps . Blackwood and Wright supported the motion , which was carried by acclamation . Comp . Humphries said it was a source of pleasure to find that his exertions were recognised by those for whom ho had laboured , but ho

must say , had it not been for tho help of Comps . of 73 his own efforts must have failed ; but Comps . Wheeler aud Balfour had always been ready to do all in their power to assist him , and ho know ho might promise , on their behalf , that they would do tho same for his snecossor , for it was from love of tho Order , rather than personal friendship to him , that they were actuated . Ho hoped to join some Cuaptor in

London , and ho had no doubt thafc fcheir confidence in him , and the position in which thoy had placed him , would prove a passport to any body ho might wish to join ; but , when there , his thoughts would often revert to St . Andrew ' s , 69 , whose kindness ho could never forgot , and he now regretted that , iu closing the Chapter he closed his own official connection with it .
