The information, however, which it was sought to convey by· means of these circulars, was, it is believed, not made known so generally to the Members as was expected ; not, certainly, from any neglect or disinclination on the part of those to whom that information was entrusted, as from the difficulty or inconvenience, in many cases, of holding meetings of the branches. Besides, the information was not always of such an important nature as to warrant the expense of calling monthly meetings of branches, whose, operations could be otherwise effectually carried on by active committees. For this reason, and taking into consideration the expense of a monthly notice, the circular was subsequently issued at more distant intervals.

Abstract: [Excerpt] RESOLUTIONS unanimously passed at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Catholic Institute of Great Britain, held at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, on Monday, 12th June, 843. The Right Honourable LORD CAMOYS in the Chair. Moved by the Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE, and seconded by the Rev. JAMES O'NEAL, of Our Lady's Church, St. John's Wood, That the Report now read be adopted, and that the same be printed and circulated amongst the Members of the Institute, under the direction of the Con1mittee to be afterwards named. Moved by the Hon. Sir EDWARD VAVASOUR, Baronet, and seconded by CHARLES ADDIS, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, That, whilst this Meeting is gratified to learn that Catholic prisoners are now exempted from attendance on Protestant Worship, they cannot but express their regret that the provision in the Prisons Act, which prevents a Catholic Clergyman from visiting a Catholic prisoner, unless specially sent for by such prisoner, remains unrepealed, as such provision is found, in too many instances, to amount in practice to a denial of those religious consolations so particularly required by prisoners, who, of all persons, are the most unlikely to apply of their own accord for religious aid; and, therefore, this Meeting instructs the Committee to use every exertion in its power to obtain free access, on the part of the Catholic Clergy, to Catholic prisoners, without being specially sent for.
