THE LATE MR. BASIL BAKER

TESTIMONIAL FUND

At a Preliminary Meeting of the Friends-of the late Mr. BASIL
BAKER, held this day, in the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street,
J. B. AsrINALL, Esq., Barrister-at-law, in the chair, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Proposed by Mr. John Dignan, seconded by Mr. Robt. Crompton,
" That the professional eminence and high private character of the
late Mr. Basil Baker, during his long connection with Liverpool,
justify an appeal to the public for some mark of respect to his
memory; and that the creation of a fund, for the benefit of his
widow and children, seems to us the most grateful, as it would be
the most usefdl, testimonial to the merits of the deceased gentle-
man."

Proposed by Mr. FRED. CLARK, and seconded by Mr. GEORGE
MEYRICK,—" That, recognising the necessity of such an appeal,
immediate steps be taken for the organisation of a Benefit Perfor-
mance at the Theatre-Royal, on the first available night, Tuesday,
Bth March." _ _ _

Proposed by Mr. CHARLES BATTEN, and seconded by Mr.
NICHOLAS SHEPHERD, —"That, with a view of giving the inhabi-
tants generally, as well as many private friends of the late Mr.
Baker, an opportunity of joining in the proposed testimonial, a
subscription list be opened, and subscriptions mvited for the bene-
fit of the widow and children." _ _

Proposed by Mr. THOS. W. HUGHES, seconded by Mr. CHARLES
CUMMINS,—" That a committee, consisting of the following gen-
tlemen, with power to add to their number, be appointed for the
purpose of carrying out the objects indicated : Messrs. J. B.
Aspinall, John Woodruff, John Dignan, J. R. M'Guffie, W. R.
Copeland, W. M`Gowan, Thos. J. Ousely, Charles Millward, Thos.
W. Hughes, C. Cummins, and the Rev. James, Nugent ; and that
Mr. S. J. Meany be appointed hon. sec."
J. B. ASPINALL, Chairman.
STEPHEN J. MEANY, Hon, Sec.
On the motion of Mr. DIONAN, seconded by acclamation, the
thanks of the meeting were passed to the Chairman.
