THE LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK COMPANY, FOR
THE INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL IN THE PUR-
. CHASE AND SALE OF LAND AND BUILDINGS
IN LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY,
CAPITAL, .E 300.000, IN 30,000 Stt ES AT £lO EACH,
With power for the Company to auip lt the C tpilal by increasing

ryIHE object of this Comp will be to employ the Capital

Buildings in the Town and Neighbourhood of Liverpool, in
such a manner as to secure the payment of at least £5 per cent.
Interest, with a certain prospect of a future increase ofinterest,
from the great demand for public and private situations.
This appeal is made to the public under the firm conviction
that the proposed Association will afford a safe and profitable
investment, that it is not liable even to the character of Specu-
lation, that it is perfectly free from all attempts to mislead the
public mind, and that it has no feature in common with any of
those delusions-which characterise too many of the ephemeral
projects of the present day.
The steady increase in the value of Land and Buildings in
Liverpool and its vicinity is so well known that it requires but
little penetration to predict that it has not yet reached the acme
of its real worth.

The 1 ands and Property of the Company shall be vested in
Trustees, to be chosen by a majority of the members, at a
General Meeting.
The Title Deeds belonging to the Association shall be de-
posited in a place of safety, to be fixed upon by a majority of
the Members present at a General Meeting..
A Committee of Management, consisting of twenty-one
Shareholders, shall be chosen by a majority of the Members
present at a General Meeting, to be held immediately after the
allotment of shares, and afterwards annually; and the Com-
mittee, or a majority of them, shall choose seven members,
each of whom shall be holders of not less than forty shares, to
act as Directors for one year from the time of their respective
appointments. •
That in case any of the Committee or Directors shall die, or
otherwise be deemed incapable or unfit to act in the manage-
ment of the affairs of the Association, then a special meeting of
the subscribers shall be called, to fill up the vacancies in such
manner as a majority of the members present at such meeting
shall determine.

That at every annual election of Officers, three of the Direc-
tors and seven of the Committee shall retire from office, but
they shall be eligible to be re-elected.
'that the Affairs of the Company shall be submitted to a
General Meeting of the Shareholders, once in every twelve
months, previous to which the accounts shall be audited by two
persons chosen by a general meeting—a report made of the
state of the Company,—and a dividend declared and paid to the
Members.
Every Subscriber shall pay One Shilling per Share upon
Allotment, which shall be appropriated exclusively to defray
the expenses incident to the formation of the Association.
That upon the receipt of the Scrip, every member shall pay
£1 per cent, in respect of each Share, which will entitle the
Shareholder to attend the first General Meeting of the Mem-
bers, but no Calls will be made for Subscriptions on account of
the Shares till the Directors or other Officers duly authorised
for that purpose shall have found a desirable luyestinent of
Capital in the Purchase of Land or Buildings, and no call shall
exceed £1 per Share, and not less than twenty-one dayS' notice
to be given between each Call.
Applications for Shares to be made by letter, (post-paid,) to
