FRERE MEMORIAL FUND.
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
Extract from proceedings at a Meeting of the Executive Committee, held on Monday, June 30th, 1884.
MEMORANDUM. -It was reported to the Committee that communications had been received from a great number of persons to the effect that, while they are anxious to perpetuate the memory of Sir BARTLE FRERE by some public memorial, such as a statue, they are desirous also to support much more largely any proposal connecting itself personally with the permanent velfare of his family. The Committee were also assured that it is generally felt such a token of regard, as has been accepted by some of the most eminent of our countrymen, would be peculiarly applicable to the case of Sir BARTLE FRERE, who devoted his long and noble life to the service of his country, its colonies and dependencies, without regard to his own emolument and advantage.
It was therefore unanimously
RESOLVED That a sum not exceeding £3,000 be devoted to the erection of a statue, and that the surplus of all subscriptions received be utilised (1) in providing a permanent fund to be conferred, as a testimony of admiration of Sir BARTLE FRERE, on his widow and family in life-rent, and (2) in perpetuating his memory by settling the reversion on the title.
The Committee invite all who knew Sir BARTLE FRERE in private life or admired his public character to take this opportunity of testifying their affection and esteem, so that this tribute of honour to his memory may be offered by as large and representative a section of the community as possible, Subscriptions, which will be advertised in the Times, may be sent to either of the National Provisional Bank of England and all its Branches, and Meseve. Coutts and Co., or to the Treasurer (Sir HERBERT SANDFORD), at 11, Henrietta Street, Covent Council mW.C. Cheques should be crossed “National Pro- vincial Bank of England," or "Coutts & Co."alter or add to regu..
or importation of arms.
