1884

This department was started in the latter part of 1879 for the purpose of preparing a complete register of the landholders of the State which was considered a necessary preliminary to the passing of an Act for the collection of arrears of land revenue. [...] The result of the separation of the police from the magistracy and the adoption of the British Indian Penal and Procedure Codes is a marked reduction and simplification of the work of the several courts and an improvement in the administration of criminal justice generally.

Balfour (the chairman of the evening) was at the head of the Medical Department of the Madras Presidency and succeeded in obtaining the sanction of Government to the admission of women to the classes of the Madras Medical College.
