SIR—We, the undersigned Proprietors of India Stock, requent

ca the. Honourable the Court of Proprietors, that the following
"lotions maw be submitted to their immediate consideration :
" let. That, adverting to the Act of Parliament recently passed,
which contains the following clown-6 That at any time within
:wee years from the passing of this Aet, it shall and may be lawful
or the Court of Directors of Cho said United Company to nominate

i ihrectors shall, and they are hereby required, with al conv

This Court therefore request the Court of Directors now to submit

rzele diacuesed by the General Court of Proprietors; also, In order
:•.) obviate every attempt to establish any unfair monopoly in oriental

Spitalfieldn, July 2d, 1112111
W3l. lIA Esq. in the Chair.
The Civmmittec have the pleasing office of emstiounintating to the
Public, that lIIS has been graciously pleased to be.
a Thira DONATION of ONE THOUSAND POUNDS
t *suds the support of the Weavers in Distress. Had it nut been
for this,frtish act of Royal beneficence, they would have no further
i'unds id their ei:.1.0,1, and all relief must have been discontinued
L her this day. The l'Otl nt:ttee entreat the public to bear in mind,
thit more thin nine thousand persons are wheat dependent for
support or the relief which they receive at the Church ; and, but
fir that, must lyrist) for lack of food. The small pittance which
.ias been hitherto affonled is now of necessity reduced, and yet the
,x,oenJiture of the Committee exceed. WM. weekly. Under these
I..:tadistances it is obvious, that without an immediate addition to
rtoir lands, the Distressed 'Weavers in Spitaltields can receive no
assistance beyond the next fortnight. The Committee have now
cancluded the task of personally visiting the eases ; and they
can assure the public, that in almost every case the distress is great
beyond conception. The last appeal to the Public has met with
very little success. The Committee trust that this will hare a
beer feception, and that they shall be enabled, at least for the
lititcrit to continue their assistance to this suffering, but quiet and
resreetable, clans.
