I have ise sioubtlhat the members of the board have seen ammo& ismees in some of the public journals on • diseembln ' seek place in the board some days ago oa the actual WI alio, as well as the suggested means, to enable the hoard to carry out the duties imposed upon it ender the act of parliament. lam not at all thee-akinned as to what may be said about us, as I ofloltder it not only proper but healthy that the aete of all public boards should be eriticised, but . when cm ow of finance their proceedings are or those I making such comments are entice:yielded wi the &elm it then becomes my duty as chairman to set sack MOM right before the public, after which I will leave the discussion of the question to take its natural comes That being iso, 1 will in a few words draw the attention of the board to that part of a statement made in one of the journals that this nerd has recklessly proceeded to barred nieney and charge it on the rates, and that, in fact, we are on the very verge of bankruptcy. Now, I feel stare that this statement must have as much sumrSed the moms bers of the board as it did me when I read it. The Me tropolitao Board of Works have unlimited powers to tan the ratepayers for the of carrying out the duties imposed upon us by the =titan Act, tend therefore, m our powers are unlimitsch I may say that they are only limited by the capacity of the rates of the metropolis to discharge their liability. You are all aware that when this board was constituted it did not enjoy the adman- *ages usually enjoyed by municipal bodies—of her* large funds and estates with which to carry out our duty to the public; but we began with • debt of half-a million of money. That was cast upon us by set of parliament, which not only imposed upon us the duties, but the liabilities of our predecessors. The gird large matter connected with the transactions of the board, as you are all aware, was that of the main drainage of the metropolis. To carry out the main drainage. the board borrowed 4,200,0001., and of that amount we have repaid 1,030.049/., leaving a liability of 3,170,000% in respect to the main drainage of the metropolis, the whole of which will be liquidated out of the threepenny rate in the pound, which was speilally Merged by parliament to carry oat these im provements. The date of the threepenny rate was extended to 1593, but having regard to the incresseof the rateable property in the metropolis, the liability will be do barged long before that time. That 4,200,000/. was tweeted by the government guarantee. Tho next heavy item of expenditure is for the purpose of the Thames Em bankment and the new street to the Mansion-house, with its several approaches. For the purposes of the l'hames Embankment kuorth and south) and the new street to the Mansion-house, 3,3110.0001. will have been borrowed by the lst of Jannam next, but that sum will not be borrowed n the security of the rates of the metropolis, but on that of the coal and wine donee, which are now extended to 1555; and. therefore, all them sums are covered by a government guarantee. Therefore with this sum of 3.380001. the public rates bare nothing whatever to do, but will be charged on separate securities. Of this 48t.( 901. has been repaid by her Majoty's Treasury out of the coal and wine dues, and it is couadently anti dieted tl.at the balance, 2,900,0001.' s together with the sum authorised to be borrowed under the Amend me Act, will be paid off out of these dues by lstrs. Ou account of the Fire Brig•le a loan of 30.0311. Las been contracted for sites and buildings for stations, engines, and structural works. which are to be carried out by a rate not exceeding one halfpenny in the pound on the rateable property of the metropolis. Thy outstanding liabilities on the general rates amount to 1,264,5761., to wards which 103.0001. has been invested in New Three per Cents., and a large sum will be provided for the same purpose by the sale of ground rents in Southwark-street and Garrick-street. The interest pay able during 1869 will be 54,114/. 10c, or O.BIM. in the pound on the rateable value. A loan of 50,0001. has been taken to provide for contributions granted for minor im provement-, end the interest on that sum is 2,233/. 6a. 7,1., or 9.03 d. in the pound. making together 66,347 lir'. 7d., or 0.8;:d. in the pound on the rateable value. The maximum rate levied for general purposes is for pro *Aline funds for carrying out the morn drainage, and although spread ever 40 year, it will be repaid long before that period arrives ; but of that sum four millions will not be charged upon the general rates, but upon the coal dues. The rayment was of comparatively small amount, not extreding one-third of the annual rental. I prefer ed to put it in that form so that you may at once appreciate the charge th at is made upon the public rates. I will suppose that the metropolis is a great estate, the treed of - which I estimate at sixteen millions, and if the rent of this estate is mortgaged for four months, which is equivalent to the rate, I do not think that it can fairly be urged that the property has been overcharged, and therefore it is idle for any one to say that we vein any financial di ffi culty. I want, however, now to state what is our difficulty. It is not a difficulty because we have overcharged the rates, or have we recklessly contracted loans, but it is our prospective difficulties, when we consoler the great number of applications which are constantly being made to us for necessary improvements of the metropolis. We are better acquainted with the wants of the people than any private individuals can be. and we have received the most pres sing applications to undertake the improvements of Lud gate-Lill. Great Tower-street, and for some near the West India Docks and Wapping. There improvements have been pressed upon our attention with many others of a local character, which we are unable to carry out, but which should not be much longer de layed, whether it is by this board or some other board that might be charged with that duty We have to feel the neglect of former yearn, and as that neglect is crowded into the present requirements of the metropolis, it necemitates an amount of taxation which tie board finds it very difficult to raise, in asmuch as our taring powers are limited to the 5 , rm of sewer rates. Ihe burdens which ought fairly to be borne by the owners of the property are now charged upon the occupiers of it, and there lies our difficulty; unless there is some re-adjustment of taxation to enable us to overcome the difficulty of meeting the requirements of the metropolis Our difficulty is not as regards the peat, but is pros^the as to what must be done in the metro polis by this board or some other, which will continue until parliament shall take up the question of the re adjustment of taxation, so that the burden shall not fall replan the occupiers but upon the owners of the property. That is a matter which the board has from time to time discussed, and my only object in making these remarks is to destroy the impression that the rates are overcharged, or, in the langu age of the journals I have referred to, that this board is in the last stage of financial difficulties, and that we are unable to proceed with the ordinary die- Marge of our duties. Mr. Sasw willed to ask a question. In the return made to parliament on the motion of Colonel Sykes, and which was presented to the House of Commons on the 29th of November, 1867, the total debt of this board was dated at 6,513,266/. ; but in the printed report issued by this board of the accounts and works during the past year, at page 65, the total debts of the board at the pre sent time were set down at 6,903,3661., being a difference of 1,390,6794 The Casimir; said the report only spoke of the trans actions of the board up to March, and no doubt that would account for the difference. hfr. Riensaneow said at the present time the rates pressed very heavily indeed on the ratepayers, and he deprecated that the board should, in an evil day, have brought in a bill for the purpose of taxing the public. Such bills would be sure to fail, and he thought it was time that the board should hold their hands in laying out money for public improvements until there was a re-ad indolent of taxation. The subject then dropped. The Finance Committee presented their annual estimate of sums required to be raised by the board for the year 1869, but the consideration of the subject was adjourned. The board agreed to contribute one-half to the cost of setting back No. 106, Fenchurch-street, at a cost of 6,2101., and also of Nos. el, 92, 93, 96, and 97, at an esti mated cost of 13.2261. After a long discussion, and the transaction of some mot tie business, the board adjourned. 11- ALLANCIIOLY SUICIDE 010 A YoUNO GIRL.— An inquest wan held on Thursday, by Mr. Hull, coroner for Vit,t.

ILUIXO.D. --- - This was an astion brought by a . governess the defendant for • wrongful Memos]. The adomt pleaded a justifications, the plaintiff having disobeyed his resaleable orders. Mr. Hance was conosel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Robinson and Mr. Jere, for the defendant. The plaintiff was the a ter of • death* at Brighton, and the defendant was a gentkiman of fortune redg in &Met. The plaintiff, who wee about SS of age, was engaged to instruct six children is Feenith, music end drawing, at 261. per annum. On the 12th September last, plaintiff, in accordance with • premises arrangement, left for a fortnight's holiday, tom parents. Defendant then ex with her services. On the 771 . 1, 8 d however, to her gent vermin, she received the following l etter from the defendant's wife :—" Dear Miss Fairseem—Mr. Ham mond intends to make an alteration with regard to the education of his children, ss he finds they _bays gop• back in their studiee, particularly in their writ ing We shall therefore not require so expensive a governess, but t in consideration of yourself,l lees no time in acquainting you with Mr. 's immediate dinitioa." By direction of her father's solicitor plaintiff replied to it, eapressing her surprise at its extraordinary °entomb, and claming • quarter's salary. She then meeived • letter from the defendant, in which he stated he was not aware of any agreement as to • quarter's notice, but be then gave her formal notice to leave on the 12th December, and that, as he declined to pay for services not.f2 she mutt return to her duties within three 4y r e f ,7 4 r he should consider the engagement at an end. She accord ingly returned, and then commenced • series of petty annoyances towards her ; the children treated her with disrespect ; she was denied the use of the piano, and her usual half-holiday was withheld. On the 24th October the defendant came to her in a great passion, and ordered her to leave within an hour, or be would have her turned out by • policeman. That was on the Saturday. She, however, acted to be allowed to remain until Mon day, as her father was away from Brirebtoe. Defendant refuted, and sent for a policeman. He then took the policeman to her bedroom, and desired him to remove her from the house. She was dressing at the time, and after remaining there • short time the policeman hurried her, pushed her, said she had been long enough dressing and ordered her to walk down stain before Wm. She did so, and on getting to the door eke found an open carnage waiting, into which she was put, and was driven six miles in a pelting rain to the station. The plaintiff was called. and deposed to the above Meta. Crow-examined by Mr. Serjeant Robinuen-She never acted disrespectfully to the family. She told defendant the should remain until Match, acting under advice. She Wined to take the children out for a walk one Saturday. because it was her holiday. She denied that she had ever interfered with the sensate. On one occasion she informed the defendant that if he continued his ill-treat mint it would end in a law-suit. Defendant mid • young lady dared not do so. She replied that her sitar hail been successful in one, and that it cost the gentleman a large sum of money. Defendant replied, " 13y —if you do, I'll mate you smart for it." For the defence Mee. Hammond was called. She stated that the and her husband hail cause to feel disetietied with the progress the children were making in their studies. The eldest was 16 years of age. On one oc.a. non, after the plaintiff returned, she asked her to desist ft om playing on the piano, when she said she refused to take an order from witness. She said before the children that the (witness) was no lady, and the ser vants had complained of the plaintiff's interference with them. Plaintiff behaved rudely to witness. On one Saturday she slipped of, and the children's studies were neglected. Mr. - Hammond remonstrated with her, and told her that if she did not attend to her duties he must dismiss her ' • upon which she replied. that if she was not properly tre ated she would bring an action against him. On Saturday. 24th October, plaintiff declined to take the children out for a walk, upon which defendant said he would dismal' her at once. She claimed • quarter's salary, and said she would not leave until she was turned out of the house. Crewezamined—Plaintiff was never to leave the children, not even for • walk. She was to be with them till 8 o'clock at night on Saturdays. When plaintiff asked for an hour or so, she would give it to her. When the left in September witness first expressed her dis satisfaction with the plaintiff. She told the servants not to obey her (witness's) orders. The defendant deposed that on the 24th October plain tiff was very violent, and told him that as sure as her name was Hammond. she would make him pay by law. She refused to take the children out for • walk. She said his wife was no lady, and that she would not trust her with her letters.. On the 2ith she refused to take out the children. It was raining hard, and he told her she must leave. She refused to go unless she was paid up to March. She refused to take the money up to that day or leave, and he sent for a policeman. Cross-examined—Plaintiff was very violent, but he was very cool. She claimed to have a half -holiday on Satur days, but he considered she ought not to have any re laxation without first asking permission. He was rather in fear of the plaintiff, and ho called in a policeman to endeavour to persuade her to leave the house quietly. She told him she did not know where to go, as her parents were then in France. The policeman was called, and he deposed that he was frequently sent for on similar occasions; he was not sent for to forcibly put the plaintiff out, but only to persuade her to leave quietly. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff —damages 13/. gs. The learned judge certified it was a proper ease to be tried in a kuperior court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-DEC. 18. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Pries in London.—(Before Mr. Justice Smith and a Common Jury.) GENT r. OLVINIE AND RAZ. This case was brought to a conclusion yesterday. The following continues the proceedings from the point where our report broke off yesterday: Edward Sellers, an attendant at Dr. Armstrong's asy lum, stated that he went with George Powell to fetch the plaintiff to the asylum. He himself put on the handcuffs, and he did so because he heard that the plaintiff had fire arms about him. Rae, the second defendant, did nothing to the plaintiff ; he simply lent the handcuffs, and took Mrs. Harris out of the room when she bad fastened on to witness's whiskers. In the asylum the plaintiff used to swear most awfully, and on one occasion he knocked • patient down. Dr. Henry Armstrong said that whin the plaintiff arrived at the asylnm he examined him, and found that he was suffering under delusions and had great for of memory. He lost the thread of the subject on which he was spaildng, and then endeavoured unsuaxasfully to pick it up. Witness came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was a pawn of unsound mind, and unfit to be at large. He was discharged aa soon as he could be safely at large. Mr. Justice Smith, in summing up, said that it was no doubt of great importance that persons should not be improperly confined in lunatic asylums ; but it was also most important that persona of diseased mind should not be left at large, and it was often a most distress ing thing for a family to have to consider whether what might at one time have been only weakness or imbecility had degenerated into dangerous phrenzy. He indeed knew of no circumstances under which it would be more difficult and distressing for a family to come to a decision. If a man were confined as a lunatic when be was merely foolish, eccentric, or wicked, there would be no justi fi cation for con fi ning him ; but if be were in that state that he was dangerous to himself or others, then it would be the duty of the family to take steps to prevent mischief. It was the duty of the jury to decide this case upon the evidence, applying it to the principles of law as laid down by him, and he directed that it was plain that in law there would be no justification for placing this gentleman in a lunatic asylum unless ho was at the time in an unsound state of mind, unless he was suffering from disease or disorder of the brain which so deprived him of the use of his reason that it became dangerous for him to be at large. It would not be sufficient that a man had been cruel to his family, nor that he bad been eccentric, nor that he hail shown strong passion under circumstances in which other men would have shown only a slight degree of irritation. To justify the defendants, the jury must be satisfied that the plaintiff was at the time when he was sent to the lunatic asylum in such a state of mind that reason had left its throne, and that be was unable, in consequence of that state of his mind, to control his actions. _ The jury, after considering the matter for a few minutes, found a verdict for the defulidants. RINOULAR RAILWAY AOCIDENT.—An socidemt of an alarming character, but happily unattended with Ices of life or personal injuries, occurred at Widnes on Thursday.

Some win:cases were then examined who went to the assistance of the prosecutrix. They said that they found her in a fainting state, and blood was nosebag profusely from the wounds th at had been inflicted upon her. A person who had previously known the _prisoner said to him, "Wright , I did not Wilk him, you woul d have dace such a thing asthis; I thought you wouldhave known better:" and he replied, "It was family matters drove me to it."

Mr. Vernon Blackburn and Mr. Tennant appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Campbell Foster (at the request of the judge) kindly undertook the prisoner's defence. Mr. Lee, the prosecutor, occupies Elm Rouse Farm. at Thorne, near Doncaster, and it consists of 340 acres. The prisoner bad, at the time the stacks were fired, been almost twelve months employed at Elm Farm, and he had been engaged on the condition that by way of remunera tion he shonld have a house and garden rent free, fifteen shillings a week, and fifteen stones of bacon a year.

Some further evidence was adduced by the City Sobel tor, and the case was then adjourned till Monday, when the dmositions will be read over and the prisoners com mitted for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Sarah Allen 113, described as a domestic servant in ser vice at 23, Spiirston-road, Hackney, was charged before Mr. Ellison with arson. Mx. T. Beard, solicitor, was for the prosecution. The evidence adduced showed that the prisoner, who was in the service of Mrs. Margaret Mitten, a married lady, of the Spurston-road, Hackney, was under notice to quit. She had only been employed there ex weeks, bat in con sequence of her general misbehaviour and petty larcenies it was deemed necessary to itemise her. On the previous nihe prosecutrix, who sleeps in the front room on nigh floor, having seen all safe, the prisonerbeing then in bed, retired to her rest about half-past 11. On the way to her bedroom she shut the door of a bedroom on the ground Soar, having first looked all round and seen everything secure. The prisoner slept in a back bedroom on the first floor. The prosecutrix was awakened about a quarter past 12 by a dense smoke, and on descending the stairs found it to proceed from the bedroom on the ground floor, on opening the door of which she saw the bed and a quantity of linen thereon almost in a blaze. She folded the counterpane over it, and poured water on the top, then called her daughter, who slept on the second floor, and together they succeeded in extinguish ing the fire. They afterwards went to the prisoner's room, where they found her in bed, and apparently asleep. She said she knew nothing of it. The son of the prose cutrix was fetched eaily next morning from the City, where he sleeps, and ho gave the prisoner into custody to Police-constable Wm. Tolley, 184 N, who having cau tioned her as to what she might say being used against her, she at first denied it, but subsequently said, " 1 did do it." An examination of the bed flowed that a lighted newspaper had been placed on the top of it. The dsm ego done was over dl., and but for the timely discovery the house might have been destroyed and the lose much greater.
