DRURY-LANE MEETING,

Yesterday a Meeting of New Renters took place
in the Saloon, to receive the Report of the Com-
mittee appointed by a General Meeting of their
Body, on the 14Ji June, 1816, to inquire into
the reasons that had prevented the completion of
their deed, and into their ,tfairs generally."

FALf,oFEILD having been. called to the
Chair, the Report was read, which was as fol-
lows :
Your Committee have endeavoured to nial:e themselves
roasters of the subjects entrusted to them, and must set out
by stating that the Deed for the security of the New Renters,
founded upon the agreinuent entered into by them with the
late Propriktors of Drury Lane Theatre ip the year 1810,
and recognised in the acts of Parliament, has not yet been
completed.
Your Curnm;tteC have met and corresponded with the Sub-
Committee of Di lir). Lane Theatre on this subject. It, how-
ever, seems to he the disposition of the Committee to intro-
duce such clauses as shall render the Deed inefficient, and to
which your Committee cannot assent. The Drury Lane Com-
mittee, moreover, object to the annuity being- claimed on
Oratorio Nights, and cei tail! others ; whereas agreement
and former deed go to every night the Theatre is open. They
likewise object to the wording of the clause respecting the
Private Boxes, upon which subject the agreement is specified
They also object to the power of di,tres=, which was made
a .sine gna non by your former Committee, in the agreement
entered into with the late Proprietors; and it would appear
as if they considered this an innovation, and not forming a
peculiar part of the agreement, though it does tom a clause
in every Covent Garden Renter's Deed, and did in the
deeds of the shares called Old Renters of the late Drury-
Lane Theatre.

There are likewise many minor clauses to which your Com-
mittee have objected, which, might, perhaps, be got over
without much difficulty; but your Committee must observe
further, that the New Renters, having a rent charge on the
Theatre receipts, the lowering the prices, without the consent
01 their 'Trustee, appears to them highly improper.
Your Committee, therefore, see no remedy but an applica7
Lion to the COurt of Chancery, to call upon the Theatre Com-
mittee to settle a deed conformable to the words of the agree-
ment entered into by the New Renters with the Proprietors
of Drury-Lane Tlnatr,., and which is directed to be forth-
with completed by the Act of Parliament.
Your Cotnmittee are likewise sorry to report, that though
the two yeais' suspension of the payment of their annuity (it
being at. that time a year in arrear) which' was begged for of
the New Renters by the Sub-Committee, on behalf of the
Proprietors, at the Meeting of the I.lth of June, 1816, have
expired, they have no greater prospect of receiving their rent
than at the above period, nor even receiving the money stop-
ped by the Sub• Committee, on account of the Renters, from
Performers on Benefit Nights, and likewise on Oratorio
Nights, which would amount to about thirty shillings an-
nually on each ihare. .I.lle debts then stated as the cause of
interruption, and in a course of payment, ate still unliquidat-
ed, and your Committee have rig information whereby they
are enabled to state any probable period for the receipt of
your rent, at least under the present circumstances of the
Theat re.

It is, however, a negative satisfaction to know, that the
Proprietors cannot' themselves derive any advantage from the
Theatre till the New Reuters are paid.
Your Committee think it proper here to remind the New
Renters, that the Patent under which the Theatre is kept
open, the Dormant Patent, the lease of the premises, the
surrounding houses, the insurance money, and the property
saved from the fire, were all vested i❑ the Trustees of the New
Renters, and were given up for the security, and in full confi-
dence of the deed being made exactly conformable to the agree-
ment. The variations, therefore, attempted to be imposed,
your Committee are fully of opinion are just causes of com-
plaint.
As hostile proceedings did take place amongst the Proprie-
tors themselves at the conclusion of the last season, and it. is
nearly certain that Parliament will be again applied to fur an
extension of power—notice to that effect having been given in
the Gazette—your Committee think it: behoves the New
Renters to be upon their guard, and to he properly represented
upon any future occasion.
Tout Committee think it right to observe further, that by
the death of one Trustee, Mr. Houlston, and by the re-
signation of another, Mr. Graham, you are reduced to one,
viz. Mr. Hosier, and therefore conceive it would be proper
to proceed to the choice of two Trustees immediately, who
would in future, by attending
,to the concerns of the New
Reuters, obviate the necessity of the continuance of your
Committee, and would become the direct channel of com-
munication between the New Renters and time Committee of
Drury-Lane Theatre.
.As any proceedings which may be necessary must he at-
tended with some expellee, your Committee recommend a
fund to be formed for the purpose, by a small subscriptio❑ on
each share.

Your Committee further recommend to the New Renters
the adoption of such Resolutious as may be a ground for their
'frnstees taking proper measures to enforce their rights.
Not•. 12, 4818. JAS. P. FALLOFEILD, Chairman.

Sir THOMAS TURTON moved that the Report
should be approved, anti the Thanks of the Meet-
ing, given to the Gentlemen by whom it had been
trained.

Mr. G. ROBINS seconded the motion.—lt was
carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN observed to the Meeting, that
they were now called upon by their Committee to
choose two new Trustees.

A motion was then rr►ade, that Mr. Fallofeiltl
should be named one of the Trustees.

The Cu AIRMAN begged to decline the intended
honour, as he feared it would not be in his power
to give sufficient titne to the duties of the situa-
tion ; and moved the name of Sir Thomas Turtou
as an amendment on hit own.
Mr. ROBINS remarked, the amendment was un-
necessary. Two trustees were wanted, and as two
fitter persons than Sir T. Tin toil and the Chairman
could not be nominated, he hoped both would be
chosen.

The CHAIRMAN said, one must at all events be
first elected. Lie then put the question on the
name of Sir T. Turton, Who %vas voted one of the
trustees, only five hands being held up against the
[notion.

Mr. RomNs thought the hands held up against
Sir Thomas bad been raised on the supposition
that the question had been, whether their Chair-
man should be named one of their Trustees, or
Sir Turtoo, and not from a desire to oppose
the election of the latter Gentleman.

The CHAIRMAN considered the question to bave
been correctly put, and proceeded to submit the
second to the Meeting ; at the aame time moving
as an amendment, that the name of Mr. G. Robins
should be substituted for his own.

Air. ROBINS did not say he would decline ac-
cepting the situation of Trustee, it Mr. Fallow-
'elkd was unwilling to take it. If, however, it
were not unpleasant to him to be chosen, lie (Mr.
Robins) could nut think of being named in his
place.
The Cu AIRMAN stated his reasons for consider-
ing Mr. Robins more eligible than himself; but
the latter having repeatedly declined accepting the
office on that ground, Mr. Fallowfeild at length
consented to serve, and the motion for electing
him a Trustee was unanimously carried.
Mr. ROBINS thought, while the New Renters
were together, as they had now what might be
called a full Meeting, they would do well to in-
quire, not whether they were likely to be paid
this year or next, but whether they were likely to
be paid at all, or to receive any dividend, however
small, on what they had sunk in the Theatre. He
thought it desirable that they should make such
inquiry now, as they wight never Imo auothct

Mr. ELLISTON•-On Tuesday evening last,
about nine o'clock, as he was going upstairs in
his house adjoining the Olympic Theatre, in
Craven-buildings, lie was suddenly attacked with
a severe apoplectic fit ; bnt, by timely medical
assistance, we are happy to find this excellent
Performer is so far recovered as to attend to the
business of the stage, towards the completion and
early opening of the above Theatre. It is attri-
buted to over fatigue and anxiety.
