The fo'lowing was m vii by the MAYOII :—That this
Council inemorialise the Lords of the Treasury for per.
eel-udon to raise the sum of on mortgage of • pceiti
of the Corporation tronerty to p iy for the purchase of the
George lon an 1 Mr. Rate 4.'s premise' for the purpose of
Improving the Q isy..—foe Mayor explained that the
George inn belongs to • public body, who have only to
deal with interest and not with principal, the Council
wrre al.. a PAhr holy, ant tits old ct of the resolution
we Ilist the Go rde lan ehonid Cnilla into the hands of
the Council, which should give Ch., trastees a similar
amount to that already received, the object was not to
Yaks.. mon• y, hut give a charge upon our property.

ll,' us, anxious the old landmark should not be removed,
and to prenery anything which be Mogi to the old pert of the
town, and II bleb was really emaciated with it historically.
Mention of it eould be found not only bo Antiqui-
ties, but in .1340 of those writings which he supposed we
shall by and by. have published for the pehhc delectation.
The Inn could le put up on its present site, and it would
be wise to do ant thing bur rebuild the George. and give
it up to the char ty which deftness all the town can do for
It. He should b- very sorry if they made an exchange of
any other property for it, which sienuld not be obtained
without a very large eXpellB,. £7OO would be ouite
enough to rebuild the George, and he wished the name
of Sir Satan 4 Miro sheltie be still associated with it, as It
had been fn.. the I. st 210 years.
