ST. GEORGE'S MALI

AT a MEETING of the PROPRIETORS in the ST.
GEORGE'S HALL COMPANY, held in the Cotton
Sales' Room, on- Tuesday, the 25th day of August, 1840,
The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS in the Chairc,/
The following Report of the Committee to the Proprietors
was read :

It will be in the recollection of the Meeting, that thinom-
pany was formed at a Public Meeting of. the Subscribers
held after 1013 Shares had been taken, amounting, :
per Share, to £25,325. The Committee, elected in or
prescribed at that Meeting, made, in February, 18-
application to the Council of the Borough for a GI
of the site of the Old Infirm
George's Hall ; and in Ju
obtained an Act of Parl

1838; the Council, havil

appropriation of that site, on proper Trusts lie
defining the purposes to which the Buildin
applied.

put a stop to all further progress in the undertaking
after the improvement which took place in the semi
1838, the Committee made a fresh appeal to the Public,

This Call on the 1043 Shares st

would, if fully paid, have produced .;5215; but ou 289 Shares,
amounting to £1445, the Call was not paid. The Members
of the Committee, however, undertook to wait personally on
the Subscribers, and the result was, that there was collected,
in the whole, up to January, 1839, the £5 Call on 860 Shares,
amounting to £4300 ; being equivalent to a subscribed Ca-
pital of £21,500, if the remaining £2O per Share were paid
up on the Shares.

The Committee then advertised for Plans for the Hall
and, in the meantime, entered into treaty with the Finance
Committee, for arranging •the terms and conditions upol
which the Council should make the grant of the site ; an►

these were, et letAth, arranged. The principal of theta was,
that power ryas given to the• Connell to appoint out of its

own Ludy, six Members of the Committet;,.the Subscribers
appointing fifteen ; making in all a Committee of twenty-one,
the number originally fixed upon.
On the sth of June, 1839, six Committee-men were named
on the part of the Council ; and of these, four had been pre-
viously members of the Committee, two only being new
Members.

Much pains were bestowed by the Committee on the in-
spection of the numerous designs sent in by the competing
Architects ; and one was fixed upon in June, 1839, which
proved to be that of Mr. Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. Fortu-
nately, your Committee's choice met with the general—
indeed, almost universal—apprebation of the Public.
Mr. Elmes, after carefully revising his estimates, at the
request of your Committee, stated, that £30,000 would be
the maximum of the cost of erecting a Hall according to his
Plans.

The Council having determined on the erection of Law-
courts on another portion of the Old Infirmary Ground, and
not having fixed the precise site of them, your Committee
await the determination of the Council on that point, and,
having at length ascertained that the site originally appro-
priated to St. George's Hall would not be interfered with,
your Committee have, within a few days past, had an inter-
view with Mr. Elmes, and have fully arranged the general
plan of the Hall.
_ _

There is to be accommodation in the main Hall for 3000
persons; and there is also to be a Concert-room, capable of
accommodating 1000 persons—applicable to other parposes,
such as Lectures and smaller Meetings.
As the cost of the Building will be £35,000, including
£5OOO for an Organ and Furniture, the number of Shares
required to make up that sum will be 1400. The number of
Shares subscribed for was 1043. Of these, the Call was paid
on 860 only ; and from the latter number, 120 Shares must

be deducted, owing to death, removal from Liverpool, or
misfortune in Business, of Subscribers and it is gratifyiu;
to find that this class is so small. Your Committee, there
fore, think they can rely on 740 Shares as the numbe-
which the Calls will be paid ; and, consequently.
proper to procure Subscriptions for 660 additional Shares
The Funds in the Bank are now £3950.

It was then resolved unanimously, on the motion of J. H.
TURNER, Esq., seconded by HENRY HOLMES, Esq.,
That, the Council having definitively fixed upon the site
of the intended Law-courts, it is desirable that the Committee
of St. George's Hall should make early arrangements for
erecting the Hall, according to the design fixed upon ; which
is calculated, in its extent and arrangements, to afford the
desired accommodation to the inhabitants, and, in its archi-
tectural beauty, to be an ornament to the town.
Resolved unanimously, on the motion of T. B. }IMOLA Y,
Esq., seconded by JAMES MOON, Esq.,
That the mode`, adopted in an early stage of this under-
of personally soliciting the inhabitants to subscribe
tor Shares, be now renewed ; and that a public appeal be also
made to them on the subject. That, with the above view,
these Resolutions, and the Report read to this Meeting, be
advertised in the Newspapers.
