At a Meeting convened at the Golden Fleece on Thursday, the 17th day of November, 1842, by a majority of the Members of the Portland Cricket Club, it was moved by Mr. John Cronin, and se-conded by Mr. Henry Rogers, that Mr. George Osborn take the chair. Mr. Osborne having taken the chair, the business of the meeting commenced. The Chairman rose and addressed the members present, calling their strict attention to the rules of the old English Game, making several comments therein. He also spoke at great length concerning the character of Richard Claxton, a member of the Club, which had been wrongfully represented by the editor of the Portland Mercury newspaper; at the same time calling upon the members present for their opinion. He himself was not aware of any such no-torious character as set forth in the Mercury, nor had he, as a member of the Club, heard any such stain cast upon Claxton. He further trusted and prayed that the members of the Club would not be brought to conclude that the remarks made in the Mercury should be the means of expelling Claxton from the Club. He likewise called upon them to re-collect that Claxton was the instigator of the forma-tion of the Club, and had always given satisfaction as a member of the same. The Chairman then seated himself. It was particularly requested by the members pre-sent that Mr. Frost would be kind enough to hold the office of Secretary for the ensuing season. It was resolved that the following resolutions be adopted and strictly adhered to - viz.: I - That the Rules and Regulations be the same as last year, with the exception of No. 11, which is to be erased. II - Parties enrolling themselves as Members shall be required to pay to the Secretary the sum of one guinea entrance money, after he has been admit-ted a Member. III - That the members meet on the old Cricket Ground, to commence the season, on Monday, the 26th day of December, 1842. W. FROST, Secretary. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting separated.
