WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COST. (Before Mr. Sergeant Manning.) LEE V. WALLACE=SIN'GC•LAR 'APPLICATION ONCERNING THE CONVICT SMETHURS We can state most positively that mithing' has yet been decided upon by the autb.orities at the Home-office relative to a . postponement 'of,;the carrying out of th►e sentence of execution upon Dr. Smethurst. -Up to the time of our going to press the subject was Still under consideration. TO THE. EDITOR 'OP THE SUN. Sir,—lt is wi'l the most painful reluctance that I address you, but I feel bound, from a sense of duty and justice , to bring before you one or facts—small in themselves , ' but tending to great results—which, if known, may remove from my unhappy husband some of the unjust suspicions and prejudices which have fallen upon him. Since our marriage ' 30 years ago, up to the time of his departure with Miss Bankes we haVe liied together in perfect happiness and contentnient. I have always received froin my hisband the most uniformkindness and attention. I have had seve ral illnesses, in alI of which he has himself attended upon me as medical man and nurse. My husband received no property whatever with me ; he has not only supported himself and me en tirely since our marriage, but froth the incapacity, from illness, of his younger brother to follow any calling, has supported him alko. ' From my knowledge—gained fromlong experience —of my husband's humane character and amiable disposition, I believe him quite incapable of com mitting the crime of which ,stands convicted. Up to this time his moral conduct has been irre proachable' and, without wishing to cast any re flection on the memory of the deceased Miss Banker, I must express it as my opinion, grounded on my observation, that the first advance came from her, although, unhappily, it met with too ready a reci procity on his part. In answer to some observations made in respect to no one haiing visited my husband during his confinement, I beg to say that it is in accordance with his own wish, that I have frequently expressed my desire to do so, and many friends have expressed the same wish, -which he has invariably 'declined, feeling that he could best support his great trial strict seclusion.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, MARY SMETEMRsT.

It appeared that one " Jack Hicks,' who at one time enjoyed the title of champion of the 11ht weights, was committed by the judge of this court for ,debt of £3O. The warrant was entrusted to Wallace to exoute, and by some means Hicks escaped after his arrest by Wallace. Plaintiff now impugno defendant's conduct nest strongly, and it was declared that he and Hicks were fends. Mr. Steadman, for defendant, subjected. plintiff and his witnesses to a severe cross-examination, ani after some what shaking their evidence, it was put to hisbionour whe ther this court would spoil the prospects of faithful and old servant upon such a trumpery and uncertin charge as the present. Mr. Steadman contended that he plaintiff's evidence had entirely failed; and the Court entertaining the some opinion, discharged the application. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(770 DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE, AND ASSAVILTING A CHECKTAKSR ,— Thomas Bence, a well-dressed person, was charged baize Mr. Bing ham with creating a disturbance at the Priness's Theatre, and with assaulting a checktaker. Thomas Park, , a checktaker.at the pit entratee, said that on the previous night, about half►past nine, ht saw the de fendant in the pit trying to sit down where 114 said he had been sitting before. There being no reserved seats in the pit, he requested him to come out, but he wood not, nor sit down. He then put his hand on his arm to remove him, and as soon as he got , him to the door he stru‘k him a vio lent blow in the face with his clenched fist. Jie then gave him into custody. Cross-examined—l did not tell him I was a check-taker, but he knew I was one, as he had seen me before. He said he was getting to his seat. I did not seize him by the collar.- The defendant's solicitor said his client was a respectable person, and had left his seat and wished to get back again to it, and as he was trying to do so a cry of " Turn him out " was set up by the audience. He found himself seized by a person who he thought was only one of the audience, and he naturally resisted. If the complainant had said who he was his client would not have resisted ; and the assault was no more than necessary to free himself from a person he thought had no right to detain him. Ho much regretted the occurrence. Mr. Bingham said he ought to have yielded at once, and as he failed to do, and struck rather a severe blow, he must pay 40s. for the assault and creating a disturbance in a theatre. THAMES. ROBBING AN OLD LADY IN A FlT.—Ellen Bryant, an artful woman, aged 41, who has been convicted several times for petty robberies, and was once imprisoned for a long period for stripping children of their clothes, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing two gold rings, one shawl, one sheet, and one bed-gown, the property of Margaret Johnson, an old lady, residing at No. 22, Upper North-street, Poplar. It appeared that for a few weeks prior to the 4th inst. the prisoner had been in the practice of waiting upon Mrs. Johnson, performing s undry offices for 'her and sleeping with her occasionally. On the last-mentioned day the prosecutrix was attacked with an epileptic fit, and it was some time before she re covered. The prisoner was attending upon the old lady, and Sarah Perry, a young woman living in the same house, saw Mrs. Johnson recovering from the fit, and noticed that her gold rings, which she had seen on her fingers :in the day had been removed, but had then no suspicion of the prisoner, who went out soon after Mrs. Johnson recovered from the fit, and did not return until five or six hours afterwards, when she was very much intoxi cated. The young woman Perry then alluded to the old lady's rings, and said they were not on her fingers, and could not be found anywhere. The prisoner said the old lady must have bitten the rings off her finger and swal • lowed them while she was in the fit. The prisoner slept with the old lady that night, and left her the next morn ing, observing to Perry that she should very soon return, but she never entered the house afterwards, and was even tually traced to Poplar Workhouse, of which she became an inmate on the ground that she was destitute a fortnight ago. Mrs. Johnson did not arrive at a perfect state of con sciousness until the morning of the sth of August, when she missed her rings off her fingers, and a quilt, a shawl, a sheet and bedgown from her drawers. The prisoner, in her defence, said she had not taken the things, and declared that the rings were taken away from the old lady by her son's wife last Christmas. Mr. Yardley said it was clearly proved the rings were upon the fingers of the prosecutrix on the morning of the 4th instant, and after hearing a good deal of circumstantial evidence against the prisoner committed her for trial. A VERY MEAN THIEF.-Edward Smith, formerly a wan dering gipsy, a dissipated lazy fellow, who is not very fond of work, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 48. 111 d. in money belonging to a poor youth named James Thomas Bliss, who keeps a coffee stall for his grandfather, a cripple, in • Limehouse, and by which they obtain a bare subsistence. The prisoner came to the coffee-stall, near Limehouse Church at an early hour in the morning, and seated him self upon a chair, on which was a coat belonging to Bliss. One of the pockets of the coat contained a bag, in whioh was 4s. all the money the prosecutor had in the world. The prisoner remained seated upon the chair for a quarter of an hour, and when he left Bliss missed the bag. and money. The prosecutor called for a police -constable, named Sorrell, 410 K, who searched him and found the bag and money upon him. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner what he had got to say in his defence ? to which he replied, " I don't know what to say, T am guilty," and Mr. Yardley sentenced him to three mouths' hard labour in the House of Correction. REDECORATION OF THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. A large staff of artists is at present at work under the direction of Mr. Sang, in re-embellishing the ambulatories of the Royal Exchange, one half of which has been already completed. The whole of the designs are perfectly new, and are executed in real fresco, the colours being applied to the mortar while wet, and absorbed , in it as it dries. Crystallisation takes place, and the work becomes part and parcel of the structure, permitting of the application of almost the rudest means in case it should be required to cleanse it from time to time. Thus it will be seen that the most enduring picto rial mode of embellishment has been decided upon by the Gresham Committee, who were induced to adopt this style on being convinced of its adaptabi lity to a London climate. This process ofpaint;.ng, as is pretty generally understood, requires great experience and the utmost care in its management, as the labours of the artist undergo a great change by the time the colours dry into the mortar, and the artist has therefore to anticipate the effects of his work. The impression upon entering the building is strikingly cheerful, producing, as it were, the effect of a rich and harmoniously decorated skylight, through which a perpetual sunshine is being tran smitted, and as the eye glances down the long ar cades and up to the ceiling, with its varied, ingeni ous, and elegant designs, the most Puritan prejudice is compelled to.acknowledge the power of form and colour in giving additional grace and dignity to even some of the best of our architectural structures. The different walks of the merchants and their pecu liar trades are in these new decorations much more readily recognisable by the coats of arms of the respective countries, and each particular trade is represented according to the ancient custom re sorted to by the frequenters of the Royal Exchange. The late temporary decorations had little or no re ference to this important question, but now the coats of arms form the chief ornaments of the largo arched panels of the walls, the borders of which are filled with a rich Raffaelsque margin upon a purple ground, intersected with emblematic medal lions, the main or central leading colour being an aerial and sunny yellow of the most cheerful hue. Suspended clusters of fruit, with their architectural and ornamental accompaniments, call up recollec tions of similar works at the Vatican and other Italian buildings. It may be hoped that these suc cessful experiments in the heart of the city of Lon don will tend to give to this interesting art a wel come and enduring reception. While adverting to - the redecoration of the Royal Exchange, mention may be made of the statue of the Queen in the - centre of the quadrangle. The right hand, holding the iron sceptre, is corroded by contact with the metal, and two of the fingers are gone. The dirt collected in parts, more particularly about the neck, has all the honey-combed character observable upon a well-used printer's balustrade. The marble in parts yields even to the finger-nails, showing that the whole is from an inferior quarry. If the same corrosion is going on inside, where the iron stays support the figure, the city . may wake up one morn ing and find it prostrate. It has been, suggested that a creditable statue might be erected out of some of the Crimean gun metal, and probably this hint will be acted upon. DISCOVERIES IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—Extraordi nary mineral discoveries have lately been made in New foundland, which will become the Cornwall of North Ame rica. We have been shown specimens of copper pyrites containing from 8 to 12 per cent. of metal, taken from a lode 50 feet in breadth; the ore being as valuable for sul phur as for copper. It crops out upon the surface, and thousands of tons can be obtilned at a very trifling outlay. Several very rich lodes of lead have also been discovered ; and the telegraph announces that a valuable vein of silver I ore has been found.—Quebec CAronicle. T 11.1 . 4. DAY.) VEGETABLES.

With some difficulty they secured it and towed it on shore. Having been conveyed to the Swan publichouse Nine Elms, it was found to be carefully screwed down, and when it was opened .the body of a boy about seven or eight years old was found. From certain marks on the body death is supposed not to have taken place from natural causes, and information having been forwarded to the coroner, he has ordered a post-mortem examination. EAST INDIA CIVIL SERVICE.—Lieut.-Col. Cave nagh is to be the new Governor of the Straits Settlements, in succession to Mr. Blundell. The Governor-General has declined to sanction the appointment of a fourth judge to the bench of the Madras Sudder Court, recommended by the Madras Government. It is rumoured that two more judges will be added temporarily to the Sudder Court at Agra. Sir Wm. 0' Shaughnessy will retire from the ser vice next year, and Captain P. Stewart, of the Engineers, who at one time officiated for Sir William, will be his suc cessor. It is stated that the office of junior secretary to the Board of Revenue, Calcutta, will be abolished, one secre tary alone being considered sufficient for the due discharge of the duties of the board. Mr. Gregor Grant, sub-trea surer, general paymaster, superintendent of stamps, and secretary to the Government savings-bank, has been pey mitted to retire from the Bombay Civil Service. Dr. Built had been offered the situation of superintendent of the Go vernment printing-office in Bengal, at a salary of 1,700r5. A rumour had obtained currency that the seat of the Bom bay Government will be removed, so soon as arrangements now pending are completed, from Bombay to Poonah.— Civil Service Gazette: THE. : T humat 4 ii,s' ri stl? xx The conference - Of the United .Building Trades were busilp enNag_ed yesterday in making 13repara tions for the payMent.of the various trades bn Strike and eeked out,' at' thei r respective Club-hhuses, theAame.plan:as s':adopted last week,'and they hope that as theSijarrangetnents will be better un derstood and ac ted u p on , th ey w ill avo id a repeti= ton of the, disorderly- conduct A the Paviors' Arms last 11 - onday.

PoAt-office orders have been received by the Conference from various t ow n s f or sums Varying inamount from £5 to - £lO. - Amongst otherS, the foll Owing towns haVesont contributions t..---Reading, OXfOrd, Windsor,. Cardiff, Plymouth, Portsmouth; BurtOn-on-Trent, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Liverpool,' Brighton, Dorking, 'Woking,' &c. ome private ladies, and gentlemen have called at th e ‘PaviOrs'. Arms, and left, in aid of the men, sums varying in. amount from £1 to £5. A levy is made of 10 .per 'cent. upon the wages of all the men in thebuilding trades now in employment, 'in support of -the men on strike and locked out. - " • To-day closes the fifth week of the strike and I the third of the " lock out;" and, as will have been observed, the' higher rate of pay to the former places them in a condition of comparative prospf, rity as compared with the great bull •of tlAr)se, thrown out of Work by this dispute. 'The Messrs. Trollope are said to, have los'c the services of a number of .the men who actepted work at the beginning of the 'week, and so far, as the original resolution of the employers is cont cerned, it is no nearer realisation than when it was passed. We have stated that the Executive Committee of the men are satignine in their expectations of a speedy and satisfactory settleinent in their favour. , On the other hand, this view seems , to be some what confirmed by what has transpired as to the proceedings of the employers at their moeting on Tuesday last:. It is reported that much sympathy was expressed for the non-society men " locked out," and that steps were to be taken as speedily as possible to replace them, as well as the society men, in employment. It is quite possible, there fore, that some decision may be come to on; this point at the meeting on Tuesday next. The em ployers state that they are quite indifferent to the retention of the counterfoil of the .‘ declara tion,' but they feel themselves justified in asking for a guarantee of some sort against arbitrary con duct and interference on the part of the men, and therefore they adhere for the, present to the " docu ment," as it is Railed, although they say they do not desire that assent to such a document should be permanently insisted upon. Perhaps, however, the 'views Of the Executive Committee of: the Employ ers' 'Association may be most clearly gathered from the following extract of a circular addressed to the. members, and dated Aug. 23 :—" At a very full and protracted meeting of the Executive Com mittee held to-day (August 23), it was unani-, • mously and most cordially determined to ad journ until. Tuesday. Reports of a .most en couraging nature were received as to the moral effect produced by the firmness and literal consistency with which the original course ofthe association has; been carried out. Public opinion daily grows in our, support, and it is strongly felt that, as we cannot afford a strike every year, so, when we are , driven , to it, true humanity to the, workman and a clear view of our own interests, unite to counsel that our measures should be tho roughly effectual. The committee rely upon your being satisfied that it is only after the fullest infor mation and the gravest deliberation that they have recommended this adjournment and a steady perse verance in the policy to which the association is pledged, as promising the most satisfactory, and even the speediest solution of our difficulties. They believe that the reports of partial defection in a great measure admit of satisfactory explanation; or that they may have been materially exaggerated ; and they especially venture to express the hopethat even where a partial resumption of work may have taken place, the employer has at least insisted on the enforcement of the verbal declaration as indis pensable to the reduction of the unionists to their proper position." TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Having read in your yesterday's editionthe letter from Mr. T. G. Grace on the subject of the builders' strike, in the sentiments of which I entirely concur, I think it may be interesting to the masters to know that for many years my late firm (Fox, Henderson, and Co.), at their Birmingham estab lishment, allowed their men to leave attwoo'cloek on Saturdays, which of itself was accepted as a grei 'boon, but which was greatly enhanced by the wages having been previously paid, so that nothing re mained at that hour but to return at once to their families, with the afternoon before them for provement and recreation. Thursday being tile market- day in Birmingham, our men were paid on Wednesday evening, so as to allow their wives to make purchases for their fami lies during the following day with deliberation, and in the' best market, instead of being driven to do it in haste on Saturday night, in a bad and dear market, and to the destruction, of the afternoon."s holiday. Great care was taken in paying the men, so as not unnecessarily to encroach upon their time, to do it as quickly as possible, so much, so that, with 1,000 men, • the operation was usually performed within half an hour,- It will be in the recollection of many of your readers that during the construction of the Exhi bition Building of 1851 the workmen, who num bered 2,500, were often paid in. 40 minutes. I believe I am justified in, stating that, in, conse quence,of these and other arrangements carried out by my late excellent partner for the convenience of the workmen, they sought, our establishment, in preference to all others in the . neighbourhood. I may, perhaps, add-my belief that, had this system been generally adopted, .we should have heard nothing of the "Nine Hours' Movernent."—l am, sir, your obedent servant, Spring-gardens, Aug., 25. CHAS. Fo., AILIVA'Y INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH-EASTERN. The report of the directorS has just been issued It states that the total gross income of the company for the half-Year ending 31st July last amounted to 524,9191. (including. 22,932/. receipts from steam boat traffic), being an increase of '29,8171., as eom pared with the corresponding period of 1858. After paying and providing for all working expenses, rents, interests on loans, annuities, and dividends on preference stock, there remained a balance avail able for dividend on the Ordinary stock of 149,7891. A dividend 'of • 12s. per 301. stock, or at the rate of 4 per cent. tier annum, will absorb a sum of 148,6741., leaving a balance of 1,1141. They' re commend that the above dividend be paid on the Bth of September. The analysis of the receipts and expenditure shows an increase in the gross receipts of 29,817/., and a decrease of - 6,3961. in the expen diture, making the increase 36,2131. in the net re ceipts as compared with the corresponding half year of 1858. The working expenses, not includ ing rates and taxes, amounted to 193,4841., against 190,6201., showing an increase of 2,8641. The ex penditure amounted to 250,8001. against 257,1971. in the corresponding period of 1858, showing a de crease of 6,3961. A table of the gross receipts for ten years past Shows a gradual and consider able increase in all the items of traffic. In the year ending July, 1850, the total receipts, 2351 miles, amounted to 575,066/. • in July, 1 851 , on 249 miles, to 680,235/. ; and July, 1852, on 2831 miles, to 737,350/. ; ending July, 1853, on 2901 miles , to 789,315/. ; ending July, 1854, on 290 1 m iles, to 869,797/. ; ending July, 1855, on 2901 miles, to 889,374/. ; ending July,July, 1857, 1856, 0 n 0 on 32912;mi1e5, miles, t o o 1,006,583/. ; ending 1,010,886/. ; ending J ul y , 1858, on 301; miles, to 9 ,0 85178235,1716;a/. lh and a e ' na e total receipts g J 8 from passengers 1859, n3ol-t miles, to increased from 449,731/. in the year ending July, 1850, to 710,4531. in the year ending July, 1859 ; and the goods and cattle from 91,9071. to 239,8321., the parcels from 15,838/. to 35,8851., the Indian mails and expresses from 10,115/. to 29,359/., and the total from 575,066/. to 1,025,617/, in nine years. The increase under the head of passenger traffic for the'past half-year is 10,911/., and arises almost entirely from the steady growth of the local traffic to and from the various stations on the main, North Kent, and branch lines. The total number of sta tions now open is 95, and it is satistactory to find that the facilities which the directors have consi dered it expedient from time to time to provide for the accommodation of the local traffic, by the judi• cious expenditure of capital at these stations, have been followed by an adequate return. The through traffic of the past half-year has necessarily been affected by the disturbing causes existing on the continent. The total receipts from this source, however, have been maintained as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The increase of merchandise traffic is 7,9661., con sisting principally in local general merchandise (6,0821.), and coals (1,294/), and it is gratifying to the directors to be enabled to state that this additional "traffic htis been earned it a comparatively small inerFAsp (8860 - iVthe4dflikri p'xtetises,' an actual ' decrease in the mileage run by the goods trains.-The expenditurein working and Maintaining the line, during' the half-vear exhibits au ' increase . ' of 2,8631.; 'but, when taken in connexion with the increase in the trale earned, anibunting tb 20,2611. this, feature in the acconntiS l will be regarded with v i re , tificpt ion by the, proprietors. The wOrking stock or the railway, ;together with the*ttyittnd Works, has" been fully Maintained', all expenses 'of ' renewal and maintenance being charged 'ditectly to' , revenue. The company's steam-packets' continue to perfO'rM their voyages froth port to port with their usual regularity and . despatch. During the last ' half-year the Princess Maude hai undergone-ex tensive.repaiis, and has been renewed in her hull , and boiler, at a cost of 2:9961. Siniilar renewals have been effected from time to time in the other vessels at the r.:ost 'of, revenue, by which their efficiency has ly.;_en" fully ,maintained. For several Tears past-the steam-packet' revenuei' besides bear ing the Cast of these renewals, has been further Aarged wif, a. the's= of 2,500/. in eachlialf-year for the purposes of a reserve and insurance fund, which no ,- ,v amounts to 25,8501. The directors do not cordider it necessary ", to - add further to that fund. 'lle largest item in the expenditure of capital during the last half-year is the amount of purchase (15,200/.)Of the Caterham Railway, which is now the propertY of this company. The other prln cipal items have been fbr additions to the roll -I,*, stock (5,7900 and new station and siding ac ceaumodation at New-cross, Aldershott, Strood, and Fielvidere, the expenditure for these purposes hay already received'the approval of the kvroprietora. The directors request the _further sanction of the proprietors to the expenditure of 2,0701. under an agrdethent entered into for the construction of a station at Plum Stead and a bridge over the North I,leit Railway (in lieu of a levet crossing) at the same place, 'and' also ' to other items of -expendi ture on capital account, - amounting to 19,3001. The directors have arrived at the conclusion that it is expedient to 'add to" the company's working stock 150 • ilassenger carriages, 250 goods waggons 'and trucks, and 12 locomotive engines, at an estimated cost 'of 75,0001. They believe the requirements- of the traffic fully justify this additional outlay, And that it will prove amply remunerative in the result. The provision of "a west-end terminus at 'Charing -cross available for the various line's of the South - Eastern Railway now terminating at London-bridge, has for some years been under the consideration of the directors. Among the prominent tuerits of this scheme were these important Consideratioo f----(1) obtaining the proposed accommodation at' he smallestcost to the South-Eastern proprietors, (2) the economy of working the proposed line, and (3) the convenient accommodation of the public (travelling , not on, the main line only, but on the North hnd Mid-Kent and Greenwich branches) ' on which the increase of traffic to be derived from 'the proposed terminus must necessarily mainly depend. In 'all these re spects the Charing-cross plan seemed to the direc tors to possess unquestionable advantages, and it was accordingly unanimously approved by the board. At the last meeting of the company, the proprietors were pleased to confirm the decision of the directors, and a resolution was then adopted empowering the'subscription of 300,000 k towards the proposed undertaking. The 'requisite powers were accordingly applied for in the recent session, and the directors have now the pleasure of eon , gratultiting the proprietors on the passing of the bill, .after a. protraeted'opposition, in the course of which tho sufficiency of theplans 'and estimates was esta blished to the satisfaction of committees of both Houses of Parliament, 'while the great merits of the measure on public grounds were unequivocally ad mitted. Such having been the result of the appli cation to Parliament,- the directors recommend the proprietors to authorise them to exercise the powere conferred upon the company by the "Charing-cross Railway Act, 1859," and to sanction the issue of '300,000/. in 41 per 'cent. preference shares, in order that, so far as this company is concerned, no time may be lost in proceeding with the execution of this important undertaking. .• • The capital account shows that £32,941 had been expended during the past half-year, making the total expenditure to the end of July £11,648,214.: BOURN AND E S SENDINE. At the half-yearly meeting of this company, on Saturday, the directors' report was agreed to, and it was stated that the entire line was expected to be ready for traffic by the end of November next.

If this be the case it is somewhat complimentary to the excellence of our countrymen's imitation, and the singular and varied qualifications it possesses, inasmuc h as America produces enormous quantities of L e ather Cloth, and although greatly inferior to Vegetable Leather, is used very extensively for not intended to the covering of furniture, p t a s e r e, e d b u r e i R d o e l u r resist the demand stand the test of a prolonge d .1 N tn a . wt ho T ni h ht o e t hr m ee ys a h ti s o v n T e s il h re E s i d S te T ra a ß t s l i e n iC c g o E n t d h l :m ir ee D d t e i u te n ß g rin i : of the carpenters for an increase of wages, and notif y in g that in the event of the men not returning to their work they will seek elsewhere for a sufficient number of hands. By way of showing that they have no disposition to curtail t h e w ages of deserving men, the masters state that they have been paying the required 30s. per week to several wor k m en in their respective employments, and they pro. test against the arbitrary conduct which has compelled these men to join the strike. As yet the turn-ont is not general, as, where contracts had been entered into and were not completed, the trade permitted the men to remain until such works were finished. If the principle sought to be established by the trade—namely, that no distinction is to bo recognised between highly skilled mechanics and work men of an inferior order, is adhered to, it is pretty certain that public opinion —whether right or wrong is beside the question—will incline towards the view taken by the master builders , , .
