REPORT OF THE AUDITORS OF THE TREASURER'S ACCOUNT FOR THE

YEAR 1894.

"The Receipts for the year 1894 amounted to £878 188. 7d., being slightly in excess of those for 1893. The amount received by subscriptions, £664 8s., shows an increase of £31 10s. on the preceding year, and is the largest amount yet received under that head, although there has been a slight diminution in Entrance Fees. The Expenditure is considerably less than in 1893. It amounts to £884 78. 7d., including the sum of £100 transferred to the Capital Account, which now stands at £900, leaving a balance on the General Account of £100 5s. 3d. in the Provincial Bank to the credit of the Society."

By permission of the Mayor, the Civic Sword and Mace were laid on the table for exhibition.

Mr. P. M. Egan, Fellow, Hon. Secretary for Kilkenny City, exhibited an old Pistol presented to the Museum of the Society by Mr. Edward O'Grady. It was found near St. Francis Abbey, where the city was assaulted by Cromwell.

The following Paper was read and referred to the Council:"On a recently-discovered Monument at Inistiogue, county Kilkenny," by the Rev. Canon Hewson, B.A., Hon. Secretary for South Kilkenny.

On the motion of Mr. Langrishe, Fellow, seconded by Dr. MacSheehy, a vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor of Kilkenny for having so kindly granted the use of the Council Chamber in which to hold the Meeting of the Society.

The meeting then adjourned to 8.30 p.m. at Waterford.
