Department and others deserve and have our entire approbation. I am also sure that nothing could be more noble and nothing more worthy than the devotion of the Sisters during that trying time. (Applause) Reference has also been made to the doctors. I think that the doctors have played a noble part in this plague. They have entered unhesitatingly into the jaws of death. Dr. Agress, Dr. Lowson, and the naval and military doctors have covered themselves with glory. (Applause) Wherever danger is to be found we find the doctors, and I think myself that there is no profession so noble as the medical profession. I now beg to move that the following Committee be appointed for the purpose of carrying the first resolution into effect -- The Acting Chief Justice, Acting Colonial Secretary, Acting Attorney General, Acting Surveyor General; Hons. C. P. Chater, J. J. Keswick, Ho Kai, E. R. Belilios, A. McConachie; Acting Puisne Judge; Messrs. J. Ross Anton, S. G. Bird, W. Blagden, A. Coxon, G. de Champeaux, H. Crawford, J. B. Coughtrie, H. L.

Mr. R. FRASER SMITH asked what the functions of the Committee would be.
The ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE replied that the Committee would have to enquire as to who were deserving of their recognition, and, then, what would be the most proper manner of showing the community's appreciation of their services.
Mr. R. FRASER SMITH in the course of a few remarks expressed the opinion that as the meeting had been convened for the special purpose of deciding what steps should be taken to recognise the services of the volunteers, they should at once proceed to discuss the point.
The ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE in reply said that this matter had been considered by the provisional Committee and they had decided that it would be better not to discuss in public what shape the recognition should take.
The resolution was then put and carried nem. con.
Hon. J. J. KESWICK - Gentlemen, on an occasion like the present it always tends very much to the success of the meeting when it is presided over by the Governor, and I rise to move a vote of thanks to His Excellency for presiding to-day. It is not necessary in moving this resolution to say anything, because in the past our experience has been that His Excellency's courteous presence has always been readily obtained by the community when any public function has been going on. I therefore, gentlemen, beg to move a vote of thanks to His Excellency for presiding.
Mr. H. HOPPIUS - Gentlemen, I have very much pleasure in seconding the motion proposed by Mr. Keswick. (Applause)
His EXCELLENCY - Gentlemen, I thank you very much for those cheers. I think, I should have failed culpably in my duty if I had not been present on this occasion, for this is one of the meetings at which we can show our hearty appreciation of the noble efforts made by the volunteers in the terrible crisis through which we have just passed.
This concluded the meeting.
