GEORGE'S HALL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

Sta,—ln your paper of Tuesday last I read some very
judicious comments, regarding the dilatory manner in
which the operations at St. George's Hall were conducted.
I wish the press generally would take up this subject, and
by the force of public opinion compel the Town Council
to proceed more energetically in this great work. It
would be economy, as you properly remark, to get the
building finished. The Mercury of Tuesday last con-
tained a leading article condemnatory of the resolution
which the Town Council has come to, not to open the
courts for the assize business, until the hall is completed,
and urged upon that body a reconsideration of the sub-
ject, upon the plea that those who attend the assizes can-
be expected patiently to bear any longer the inconve-
-ad annoyance which they have for years past ex-
- the want of accommodation in the pre-
'-,ow that the grievances which they
.7.sily be remedied. The Mar-
is of rendering the new courts
business at the next assizes, in
stions ought to be adopted forth-
ver can form no adequate idea of
ms's Hall, and there is not any

perienced, from

sent court

have suffered can no

available for the pu
autumn, and the su
with. A casual ob.
the vastness of St.

reasonable probability that, even with a moderate degree
of exertion, it can be finished, in 'a manner in which it
ought to be finished, in order to give eclat to its opening,
in less than two years from the present time.
The members of the Committee of Council, to whom
the business connected with this building is entrusted,
ought to inspect the works frequently, and take a pride in
seeing every part of it completed in conformity with the
designeof the great architect who was the author of this
noble pile, and whose loss the country in general has just
cause to lament. If there had been an active superin-
tendence of the works, on the part of the Committee, we
shoUld not see the newly-finished ceilings of the corri-
dors, rooms, Bcc., cut to pieces, as is now the case, for the
purpose of introducing the gas pipes into the building. It
requires neither architectural nor mechanical knowledge
to suggest that such operations should be carried into ef-
fect, before the plastering is commenced, or, at all events,
before the ornamental parts of it are completed. Then
again, the immense scaffolding which has been erected
in front otihe west portico, for the purpose of putting up
