Mr. Desmond ,T.D. said he had never stood up with more regret than he now did to propose a vote of condolence with the family of the Late Mr. Wm. Roberts. The President , in seconding said he would like to pay a little tribute to the late Mr. Roberts. He was elected a member of the Society over 50 years ago and was elected on the General Committee on 17th March ,1888, 45 years ago. He thought he was right in saying Mr. Roberts had been on that Committee ever since. Personally, he regarded the death of Mr. Roberts as the greatest that their Society had ever suffered and the Secretary was directed to send the following resolution:- ‘’That the members of the Society desire to place on record their great sense of the loss the Society has suffered owing to the death of Mr. Wm Roberts, and their heartfelt sympathy with Mrs. Wm. Roberts and all his relatives in their great bereavement ‘’.
The motion was passed in respectful silence, all present standing, and the meeting adjourned as an additional mark of respect.
