1-lave authorised the Proprietors to publish .the. following
Report in their names :
. We do hereby certify, that, after a full and. attentive ex-
arriiitation of the subje4l which we have been desired to in-
Nestigate by the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, for-
the satisladion of ,the public, in resped to the rate of prOfit
/me-vied by them from the late Theatre; and-tikeirto be re-
ceived from the new, that the following is the result of cur
inquiry :
The rate of protilf aApally received„ upon an average of.
the last six years, commencing in 1803, (the period of the
present copartnership,) in tbe, theatre, upon the capital em-
barked therein, we have ascertained to have amounted to
per cent. per annum, chargiitg theconcerh withonly the sum.
attually paid for insurance on such part of the.capital as was
insured ; but, if the wholeot the capital fild-b,cn insured,'
Vteiprotit would have been reduced
~to ,verv, I„itrk more titan
s per cent, and,-fbr.want'Of this rull insurance, the roprie-
tors, being in partitheir'kivin insurers, sustained a•loss.by.the,
late fire, for which no compensation has been made, to the
amount of more than the whole of their protits-loithe.abovd:
period of six years.
" The rate of profit likely to be received in fittu're from the'
Dew Theatre, depending in part upon the amount of bills not,
yet delivered, and of estimates not fully ascertained, and' on
the future receipts of the House, which are subjed.to various
contingencies, cannot be ascertained with the satire degree of •
certainty; but, upon the best consideration we have been
able to give to this subjed, after having recourse to every
source of information, oral and written, we are fully sati-4-Ext
that the future profits of the New Theatre, at the proposed
advance in the prices of admission, will amount to only .3i
per cent, per anntunUporilhe capital expended inJhe Thea-
tre, it the same be insured, and that upon the same supposi-
tion-of inkuratidA thelotriler prices of admission, the Pro-'
prietors will, in our judgment, annual!), sustain a loss of near
per cent, per annum on their capital.
