NATIo:AAL LAND AND BUILD-
ING ASSOCIATION.
A meeting of the members and friends of this institution was
held on Monday, in the coffee-rooan of the National Associa-
tion Hall, 242, High Holborn, for the purpose of giving effect
to the resolutions of the public meeting at which T. Wakley,
Esq., presided, those resolutions having strongly recommended
the measure to the adoption of the working-classes throughout
the metropolis and the provinces.
As the best means of giving effect to the resolutions, it was
ao
then resolved—" That an Auxiliary Committee of fifty per-
sons be at once appointed, for the purpose of disseminating a
knowledge of the institution in their respective localities."
The
different p
Committeehe r
t have a v
fesince m
the progress of their operations. Several letters were read
from the country, et and
expressing great interest
reported favourably of
in the institution and its proceedings, and a desire for its ex-
tension into the provinces. A letter was read from Stafford
Allen, Esq., of Cowper-street, Finsbury, expressing his ad-
hesion, and manifesting his sincerity by a liberal subscription
to the auxiliary fund. This gentleman is a wealthy member of
the Society of Friends, and has been active in the Temperance
movement, in the Peace Society, and other public measures of
progressive improvement, rendering his adherence te the as-
sociation the more important.
A letter was also read from the Hon. Member for Finsbury,
T. Wakley, Esq., proving that his interest in the success of the
measure was not limited to the assistance rendered at the pub-
lic meeting, for the letter intimated his intention of being pre-
sent "at the next meeting of the committee, being anxious to
afford the undertaking every aid in his power."
