Committee Room, 29, Bridge-street, Blackfriars,
Nov. 12, 1828.
A T a Meeting specially summoned for This
IX Day of the Committee of Friends to the Under-
taking ionise Thames Tunnel, acting under the authority
of the Public Alerting, called upon the' sth 'of July last,
for the purpose of encouraging the public support of that
work—it was resolved, that a list of the subscriptimis to
the Undertaking, since the last Advertisement upon the
subject was:laid before the public, be now advertised in the
Public Papers.
The paragraph in the advertisement inserted in the public
papers of the 31st of July, 1828, was read as follows
" The Committee beg leave distinctly to .state to the
public, that the entire sums which may be contributed
tinder the resolutions of the public meeting, will be at the
disposal of the subscribers, unless 100,0001. shall be sub-
scribed for within a limited period."
And it was resolved, that it appears to this Committee,
that the time is now arrived when it becomes them to re-
deem the pledge thus given.
The Committee, considering that every fair and ho-
nourable exertion, by public appeal and private applica-
tion, has now been made towards effecting the object for
which the Committee were appointed ; and the result,
upon that appeal, having been now ascertained, felt it to
be their duty not to delay any longer to state, that that
object had not. been so far attained as to give any rational
hope of a suctelsefol isaue, .
It was .tliereupon resolved, that, in redemption of their
pledge, the Committee do give directions, and directions •
were given accordingly, that all sums, advanced as sub-
scriptions, at the disposal of this Committee towards the
object of the public meeting, shall be paid back to the
parties who advanced them—and that all parties who
shall nut;within a month from this period, have received
back the monies paid, be requested, and they are hereby
requested accordingly, to apply by letter to the Secretary to
this Committee, stating the London er country banker or
agent, to whom they desire that the money shall be paid
back en their account, and the monies shall be. paid back
accordingly.
It was further resolved, that those other persons who
had subscribed their names either for debentures or dona-
tions but not paid down the sums as subscriptions, at
the disposal of this Committee, should be released, and
they are hereby, on the part of this Committee, released
accordingly from all obligations on account of those sub-
scriptions.
It was resolved, that the preceding statement he adver-
tised in the London Gazette, and in six of the principal
London Newspapers, and that the Committee should take,
and they do accordingly take, this last opportunity of ex-
pressing their grateful thanks to those persons, who have
come forward to the assistance of the prosecution of this
great work ; and, while the Committee lament that the
object contemplated by the public meeting of the fah of
July last has not been effected, they will not }et shriek
from the expression of their confidence, that, at a more
favourable moment, some national act will enable the work
to be recommenced, and the Tunnel to be completed.
