Original caption: THE OLD COUNCIL-ROOM AT THE TREASURY. This handsome room has an interesting history. In 1697 the old Treasury Office was burnt down, and in the same year the Council transferred its sittings to Henry VIII's Cock-pit. a building on the west side of Whitehall, and many Treasury letters were dated from "The Cock-pit." The present Treasury Offices were built on ihe site of the Cock-pit in 1733. and since that date the Treasury Board has always met in the room portrayed above. Down to the end of the reign of George II the Sovereign was frequently present at the meetings; and the chair at the end of the table is. in fact, the Royal Throne. The room is at present occupied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. |
