Commentary from The Studio

By the aid of Mr. T. Stirling Lee, a thorough scheme was drawn up to supply the vacant bases, pedestals, panels, friezes, &c. with sculpture decoration as indicated in Elmes original design, and within the last ten years the municiplaity has carried out a small portion of this scheme, commencign with a series of twelve panels on the East Front, six on each side of the portico.

The first six, illustrating the Growth of Justice, were executed by Mr. Stirling Lee. The recenty added six correspnding panels representing National Prosperity — are the work of Mr. Chas. J. Allen, Mr.Conrad Dressler, and Mr. T. Stirling Lee respectively. [The Studio]
