At the last meeting of this Society it was proposed, on the
recommendation of the Committee, that Mr. James Lambert should be
expelled; and after some discussion it was agreed that the sense
of the members should be taken by ballot at the next meeting,
Saturday, January 3, 1829. It was thought that proceeding at
once to his expulsion might give the appearance of the measure
originating with a party, and that the delay would enable the
deliberate judgment of the whole Society to be passed upon his
conduct.
