AT a MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS in the
SAINT GEORGE'S HALL COMPANY, held in
the Cotton Sales-room, on Monday, the 15th February,
1841,

The Rev. JONATHAN BROOKS in the Chair;
A Report from the Committee was read, wherein they com-
municated to the Shareholders the minutes of certain pro-
ceedings of the Town Council and its Law Courts Commit-
tee, which embodied Resolutions to the effect that, consider-
ing the difficulties which would necessarily attend the erec-
tion of the Law Courts and the Saint George's Hall con-
jointly with a private Company, the Council would undertake
the whole outlay of the erection of Saint George's Hall and
the Law Courts united, and their future management, with
the entire property vested in the Council ; and that the
Council authorised the Law Courts Committee to commu-
nicate with the Saint George's Hall. Committee, and to
make such arrangements for carrying that suggestion into
effect as might be requisite. _ _

And the Committee reported to the Meeting that they had
themselves taken the subject into their full consideration
that there was in the Bank a balance of £12,000 and upwards
of the Funds raised from the Calls, and Interest allowed by
the Bank, after deducting the expense; defrayed up to Oc-
tober, 1840.

The Committee then reported their unanimous opinion
that it was desirable that the proposal and arrangement em-
bodied in the proceedings of the Council should be adopted
by the Company ; and that they were also of opinion that
the arrangement is one which entitles the Council to the
approbation of the Company, and of the town at large.
That in case the Meeting should take the same view, and
determine to adopt and confirm the arrangement, then the
Subscribers would have to decide as to the disposal of the
Funds of the Company. That on this subject the Commit-
tee had unanimously come to the conclusion, that the Funds
in hand should be returned to the Subscribers ; that the last
Subscription of £2O per share should be forthwith refunded
to the Shareholders who had paid it ; that the outstanding
charges against the Company should be defrayed by the
Committee out of the Funds in hand arising from the £5
Instalment •, and that the nett balance of the Funds then
remaining should, as soon after as convenient, be returned
to those Subscribers who have paid the £5 Call.
It was then, on the motion of RICHARD HARRISON, Esq.,
seconded by S. H. TnomPsoN, Esq.,
Resolved unanimously,
That the Report now read he approved and adopted by
the Subscribers, and that the Committee be authorised to
carry the recommendations thereof into effect, and also to
concur with the Council in any measures which may be ne-
cessary for perfecting the arrangement between this Com-
pany and the Council.
of LAWRENCE, Esq., seconded

Resolved unanimously,
That the thanks of this Company be given to the Council
for the liberal manner in which they have taken upon them-
selves the erection of the Hall.
