CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.
2871 JAIIVAIRT, 1803
THE GENERAL COURT having resolved, if
any surplus Balance should arise, to appropriate such
part of the same as maw appear prudent, for the establishment of
a Fund for gradually Rebuilding this Itispital, the Governors
take this mode of stating, that the necessity thereof has arisen
from the vet!, heavy annual charge of keeping in repair an an-
cient Erection, which has been professionally declared incapable,
in many parts, of being long upheld, and from its having there-
fore been Rewind,
" That it is far radmithe interest of the Hospital to expend
" any Sams that may'heteafter be voted upon vplan for the
" gradual and uniform Rebuilding of the Hu '..than to
" enter into a further Repair of the present BtriArt7s."
The first object in view by the Governors, is as much as pos-
sible to prevent a decrease in the number of Children annually
admitted—The securing this object has hitherto prevented airy
appropriation to the Building Fund; and it is not probable
that the general expencos will ever permit any considerable
poi non of the Income of this House to be so applied: a former
Coneral Court therefore

Rev>br. d unanimously,
" That a Subscription be immediately opened, to rond.i
" effectual aid to the Fund which may arise from the appro-
" priation of the surplus Revenue towards the gradual Re-
" building this Hospital on its present scite, and that which
41 the Governors arc enabled to purchase under the autho-
" rity of Parliament, fur the improvement and enlargement
" thereof in London."

Which Resolution. has already received the countenance of
many Governor:, whose names, and the sums they have sal-
scribed, appear hereunder, and to whom the General Court
thus make their public acknowledgments.
Two other Royal Hospitals, those of Saint Bartholomew and
St. Thomas, wine Rebuilt by publk Subscription ; and after the
liberal 'lappets. this Charity has experienced for two centuries
and an half, the Governor: entertain the confident expectation,
that a Royal Seminary, rendered important to the Kinrdom at
lime by its magnitude, and by the liberal Education and Main-
tenance it affords, will also receive favourable attention from
the Generous and Opulent upon so interesting an occasion : and
sills General Court embrace the opportunity so early *Sordid,
41( voting
Their unanimous Thanks to the Corporation of the City of
London, for their unanitnrius Resolution " to subscribe the
" sum of One Thousand Pounds towards the gradual Rebuild-
" ing of Christ's Hospital upon its present scite :"
St which a further proof of the accustomed protection and at-
tention of that respectable Body to the Orphans of this City and
others, is eminently conspicuous ; and an example held forth
worthy of imitation.
By order of a General Court holden this day,
RICHARD CORP, Clerk.
