The Council recommend, further, that, as it has been mode of preallowed on late occasions, the Registrary should attend the Chancellor to the foot of the Throne and hold the address while the Chancellor reads it; and that he should afterwards call over the names of the deputation in the order of seniority. The Council recommend also that, in conformity likewise The Esquire with recent custom, the Esquire Bedells should precede the Chancellor with their maces, and in approaching the royal presence should fall aside at such point of time as will conveniently admit of the deputation passing by and advancing to the Throne; and that on the return of the Chancellor to the door of the presence-chamber they should conduct him back in the same order in which they went.

And, lastly, the Council recommend that the expenses of Expenses of the Vice-Chancellor, the Public Orator, the Proctors, the Registrary, and the Esquire Bedells only should be paid out of the Common Chest.
