THE SCOTTISH CORPORATION.
Monday, at one o'clock, a Special Court of the
Governors and Subscribers to the Scottish Corpora-
tion was held at the hall of the Scottish Corporation,
for the purpose of considering the propriety of remov-
ing the hall from Crane-court, Fleet-street, which
premises have been in the possession of the Corpora-
tion since the year 1665, when it received its first
Charter of Charles the Second ; Dr. Webster in the
chair.
Professor DONALDSON stated that a committee had
been a few years in existence, which was appointed to
consider the expediency of the removal of the hall of
the Corporation. The committee were unwilling to
bike any measure without the consent of the Court.
He had been in communication with the officers of
14 Woods and Forests to ascertain what plots of ground
might be vacant in any of the new lines of street of
the metropolitan improvements, and he found that
there were several between Plumptre-street and
Long-acre. Some had been disposed of for the erec •
tion of churches and chapels, and, in some instances,
the fee simple hadlbeen disposed!of. The question was,
whether they would purchase a quantity of freehold
ground, and if so, where they would choose a site.
That of the Fleet Prison had been suggested, and, he
believed that was now in the market,
A long conversation ensued upon the propriety of
removing, when
Mr. NOBLE moved a resolution, " That it was ne-
cessary, for many reasons, to remove the offices of the
Corporation to another site, and to have a new hall
in some eligible and conspicuous situation."
Mr. MORRIS seconded the resolution, observing that
it would be for the benefit of the institution. It was
now in an obscure situation, and he had known many
noblemen who have alluded to the difficulties they
have met with in trying to find out the hall.
Several of the Governors expressed a wish to be
informed what would be the likely expenses incurred
in the sale of the Corporation estate in Crane-court,
Upon which an amendment, proposed by Mr.
LITTLE, and seconded by Mr. OamE, was agreed to,
which was to the following effect :—" That the Com-
mittee continue their inquiry into the propriety of
removing the Scottish Hall from its present situation,
and report to a future Court."
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
Court broke up.
