A detailed report to the Proprietors recounts subscriptions totaling £186,627 35 7d and investments in annuities and consols. The meeting adopts nominees for the General Committee including John Dest and Lord Byron, discusses deficits, building costs, and annuities, and explains the theatre’s debt and prospects for dividends amid cost overruns and property valuations.
The meeting approved the committee report and thanked members for a clear statement of accounts. It confirmed nominations for the sub committee and governing trustees, praised the late Mr Wittens, and resolved funds should be paid only by committee order to prevent slander. Unanimous thanks were given to the Earl of Essex and other officers.
A correspondent to the Courier argues that the late abolition of the London Bread Assize, based on a parliamentary committee report, should be noted. He discusses alleged price maintenance by bakers, calls for public enquiry, and asserts the old standard would raise costs, while noting ongoing price variations across the town and the public interest in affordable bread.
