Holme, Littledale, Chaloner, Malcolm son, Lockett, Shand, Robertson Gladstone, Steele, Robinson, Rounthwaite. The sub- ommittee of works reported that Mr. Stewart had concluded the purchase of the property known as the " Richardson property," to the south of Spalding-street, for £3,400. This account would be settled by the Great North Western Railway Company, the committee having nothing to do with it. The sub-committee recommended that £5 be given to the widow of Bernard Al' earthy, who was drowned in the Trafalgar dock, on the night of the sth instant : confirmed. The warehouse committe recommended that - lessrs. Edgar, Tomlinson, Goodwin, and Barrow be ap ' "ing clerks, at a salary of £BO per annum each : They also reported that there were two vacancies he dismissal of .T Fry_ and the nrn_ POLICE COURT. - YESTERDAY, --ESTERDAY, BAD COMPANY.—A young lad named Henry Hillier was brought up along with James Smith, the latter a noted pickpocket, charged with having been seen picking pockets in Basnett-street, and in a public house in Williamson square Hillier who had never been charged before, stated that his father kept a house called the London Tavern, and that ha hinself did not know what the character of his com panion was. Inquiries were made by the police, and it was found that the story was correct ; that Hilliers' father who appeared in court is a very respectable man, keeping the London Tavern,in North John-street,and was greatly grieved at the bad company his son had lately kept. The court sen tenced Smith to a month's imprisonment, but discharged Hillier with a caution, that he might have an opportunity of retrieving his character. Mary Gray was charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the house of the Rev. W. Mathias, Roscommon-street. The prisoner had been in the service of that gentleman, and was also charged with obtaining in his name, a quantity of tea, sugar, soap, &c., to the amount of 7s. 3d., from Mr. B. J. M‘Gowen, grocer, Low-hill. * The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned for a month. Ellen Shaw was charged with. presenting a forged decla ration,:purporting to bear the signature of Mr. Mansfield. It appeared that she came to release some clothes from a pawn office, and havin g lost the ticket was told she must make a declaration to that effect before a magistrate and bring it with her. She accordingly went away, and returned with a declaration:signed with Mr. Mansfield's name, but which was manifestly not written by him. She stated to the pawn broker, that she gave the declaration with two-pence to a policeman, who got it signed for her. The case was re manded, James Foster was charged by Mr. Cowen, superintendent of the Albert, Duch, with having a lame quantity of tobacco secreted in his box. Mr : Cowen stated that .. the prisoner held a very responsible -- - situation in the dock. Three-and-a-half pounds of tobacco were found upon his person, and upon subsequently searching his box, a very largo quantity was found secreted there. The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Margaret 31 - along was charged with attempting to pass a base shilling at the shop of Mr. John Molyneux, where, it was stated, she had upon a former occasion offered a base half-crown. The prisoner was remanded for seven days. David Hogan was remanded upon a charge of Waling wool. Elizabeth, Moore was charged with robbing a seaman, at a place called the Shakspere singing -house, of £lO, but for want of evidence, was discharged. Anne Sheridan was brought before the court, having in her possession a large quantity of cotton, for which she could not satisfactorily account. There was not sufficient evidence to proceed with; the case ; but Mr. Clough complained of the conduct of parties who bought cotton from such persons as the prisoner, and who were thus the principal cause of the offence. &mous ROBBERY.—Charles James, a seaman, who ar rived yesterday in Liverpool, from America, in the IsaaeWebb, appeared to prosecute Robert Blaekburne, Emma Williams, and Ellen Walsh, for robbing him of about £37, in British and American money. His statement was to the effect, that he was taken by the women into a house in Banastre-street, where he went to bed. He had the money in his possession when entering, the house. He was awoke in the morning by a police-officer, and his money was then gone. The prosecutor stated that he had drank somo beer the night before, but did not think he was intoxicated. He appeared, however, con siderably stupified. The evidence of the police-officer who arrested the prisoners was, that they saw the man and woman coming . through the street last night very fast, and having ascertained that they came from the house in Ban nastro-street, they went there, after questioning the prisoners as to where they were going, and receiving a reply that they were going to their supper. In that house they found the prosecutor asleep in bed, and so stupified that they could not succeed'in thoroughly awakening him. They then followed the prisoners, and succeeded .in arresting them in another house, when they , found in their possession about £24, in British and American money. The prosecutor identified some of the coins, and also a knife and some tobacco which was found, as being his property. Mr. Black defended the prisoners... _ -- - - Dr. Mellor; - Of the Vauxhall dispensary, was examined, and stated that he was called up by the officer to see the pro secutor, whom he found in bed, wholly insensible. Th pupils of his eyes were contracted in a very peculiar man ner ; his breathing was obstructed, and he had the appear ante of having been drugged. He at once administered an emetic to the prosecutor ' who threw up something which had the smell of beer, but did not recover until the stomach pump had been applied, and cold water thrown into his ears. The doctor stated that he could not discover that the man had been actually drugged. Court: Do you think his condition might have been caused by beer Dr 11 eller : I think it would require a very great quan tity of hoer to leave him in such a state. Have you ever known beer to produce such effects as you describe in his appearance, such as the condition of the pupils of his eyes ? 1 never knew it to produce such an effect Mr. Clough : Did you examine the glasse. Dr. Mellor : I did. There were two glasses iu the room, In one glass there appeared to be the remains of beer, the ether glass was dry at the bottom, but there appeared to have been some sticky stuff in it, and there were some black specks at the bottom. I could not discover any smell. The prisoners were ordered to be sent for trial. in the room ? ROBBERY or",L6o.—Two women of the town, and a man, were charged by a gentleman named M'Lewer, with robbing him of £6O on Thursday night last. The prosecutor stated that he was accosted by the two female prisoners in Hano ver-street, about a quarter past eleven, and during the time he was conversing with them, the above amount in g4ld, wrapped up in brown paper, was abstracted from his trowlers pocket. He did not miss the money until the prisoners had gone. Information was given at the police-office, and the prosecutor described the two female prisoners. The pri soners were apprehended in Warrington, on Saturday last; and the two female prisoners were fully identified by the prosecutor as the persons who robbed him. Ho could not recognise the male prisoner. A sum of £2 was found in the possession of the person whom he lodged with, belonging to him, and which he could not account for. When the pri soners were apprehended, they had new clothes on them. The two females keep a house of ill fame at No. 7 Court, Banastre-street. Each of them was sent for trial. DETENTION OF PROPERTY.—George Stokes summoned William Baker, with detaining three trunks, the property of the complainant. It appeared that complainant lodged with the defendant for three weeks, paying him £1 ss. a week ; and when he was leaving, the defendant detained thkee trunks for one week's lodgings, alleged to be due. The magistrate said the rent was paid very regular—unusually regular—and he would order him to return the property, with costs. ASSAULT.—A woman named Robertson, charged by An Barden with assaulting her on last Thursday, was fined 1 1 th and costs—in default, to be imprisoned for 7 days. ROBBERY or £620. —On Monday evening, a little girl, ten years old, named Mary Ann Ritchie, was placed in the Police-office under the following circumstances. It appears she was a servant in the house of a man named James M'Alister, a slater, residing in Mill-street, and that yester day she went into the shop of a person in that neighbour hood, and oflered to give him a £lOO bank chaque for £lO, alleging she had received it from her mistress for nurs ing her child. The shopkeeper thinking immediatelly that she had not come by the money honestly, handed her over to a constable, when it was discovered that she had robbed M'Alister of two bank cheques, one for £520 and another for £loo.—that for £520 was found also on her person.— Northern Week,. confirmed motion of Edgar to a lauding clerkship. in the marine department, the sub-committee recommended that £65 be granted for the purpose of testing an experiment to light the Saudon graving-docks with an electrical light by Mr. Mr. LITTLEDALS said that Mr. Steite was quite sanguine in the matter,, and if the experiment were successful the saved to the it the experiment were suc cessful the cost of the light would be much less, while the light itself would be much better than gas. The recommendation was adopted. TT observed that The sub•committee also produced an estimate of the cost of placing two signal balls on the Albert warehouse and the Victoria tower, amounting to £B3O, and reported that they could not recommend that the suggestion of the observa tory committee on the 21st of last September should be car ried out. The CuAIRMAN said that the committee were of opinion that the signals would be of no use to vessels in the river, that might be waiting to get out. To the vessels in the docks they would be no use, as when going into dock they sent their, chronometers either to the ; makers or to the obser vatory to be regulated. The HARBOUR MASTER'S sub-committee recommended hat advertisements be issued for the supply of cloth Confirmed The CHAIRMAN said that they had referred a letter of Mr. M'lver, to the sub-committee, with reference to a graving-dock of a large size. As he (the chairman) expected Mr. Hartley could say nothing as to the situation of any graving-dock, without knowing first the intentions of the committee as to the general appropriation of their land. They did not intend to go to parliament this year, but they would do so next year, and it was therefore desirable that they would take up this question as early as possible, that they might have plenty of time for discussion. Mr. SHAND suggested, that it would be well if the plans were laic on the to Mr. LOCKETT thought so too ; and that the sooner they came to a conclusion on them the better. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE asked if the nature of Mr. . . the sole use of a gravin g do( TheuninmeN replied that that was another question, but that the primary feature of Mr. M'lver's communication was, the necessity of providing graving -docks of a size capable of receiving the large vessels no w a b ou t t o b e b u i lt. They had at present no graving -dock that could take in a vessel over a certain size, and whenever such a vessel required repairing, it was done in the Huskisson lock. Mr. LOCXETT said that they were at present compelled to build their vessels some feet smaller, in consequence of the size of the graving-docks. Mr. SHAND observed that the committ now brought the matter up to a certain of work general committee either to adopt -7 or iLdii; for the their plans. A letter was read from Mr. Macgowan, stating that the 4th committee had ordered four lamps to be lighted upon the King's Parade An applicaiion was read from a person named James Lang, stating that his horse - had met with a serious accident ting his foot caught in the tramway of th e P r i nce ' s lock, by which he was rendered unable to move, and was pronounced incurable, The applicant stated that he and his family were wholly dependent upon the horse for sub sistence, and therefore hoped that the dock committee would, under the circumstances, make him some allowance. A certificate from a veterinary surgeon was attached to the letter. of the committee that acci occurred to horses in three or Ault of the shoeing. There was nearly as much iron in the shoe as round the wheel of a cart. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN : I don't see how we can entertain this application. No resolution was moved upon the matter. This closed the general business. lEALTH COMMITTEE.-YE STE RDA.Y, The usual weekly meeting of this committee took place at half-past two o'clock yesterday. Alderman CHARLES LANGSDALE in the chair. - There was also present—Messrs. Moss, Beckwith, Godfrey, Johnson, James Holmes, Robert son Gladstone, Fleming, Halhead, and Henderson. It was reported to the committee that Mr. Fresh, the inspector of nuisances, had met with a very serious acci dent yesterday while walking through Dake-street. Pass ing the Yacht Club, he stepped upon a piece of orange-peel and fell, dislocating his shoulder, and, it is believed, break collar bone. Much regret was expressed by the s of the committee at the accident. The CHAIRMAN said several streets were rendered very being thrown there. In Church rved that this was the case. The MEDICAL OFFICER reported that, in consequence partly of the increased severity of the weather, the mortality of the town was higher in the week ending last Saturday than in any of the s i x wee k s preceding. The registered deaths were 141 in the parish, and 58 in the extra-parochial wards, making the total of 199, against 165 in the previous week, but by five below the average of the mortality of the same week of the preceding six years.. Diseases of the lungs (with consumption) cau se d 64 deaths, a greater num ber than in any week sinc e th e month Of June. A still higher mortality from this cause might be expected in the he inclement temperature of deaths were rep.' `lred from week, as the result of t cholera during the week. Of those who died, four were emigrants, and one a nurse in the cholera wards. On Tues day the last case of cholera was dismissed from the hospital, which is now reported as empty. Diarrhoea caused seven deaths, about the average of the same week of former years. From typhus the deaths were 10 ; scarlatina, 9 ; measles, 5. The West Derby Board of Guardians had forwarded com plains of the annoyance caused by accumulations of stagnant water on the east side of Upper Baker-street, behind tensed Victuallers' Asylum, -s and also at the east side of iarsden-street, behind Brougham-terrace. A public sewer passes within the required distance of both places. The medical officer of health recommended that notice to drain be served on the owners of the lands. It was ordered that the notices be serve d. Mr. RISHTON, the building surveyor;reported the inspec tion of 172 delapidated privies and ashpits, 122 of which were undergoing alteration s an d repairs, and 50 of which required such, together with various other details in his department. Mr. NIINVLANDO, tho borough engineer, reported numerous particulars of the work done and in hand in his department. Mr. FRESH, inspector of nuisances, reported the emptying of 1,159 cesspools; the inspection of 132 nuisances com plained of by inhabitants; and the reference of 55 others to the borough engineer, for remedy by drainage, &c:, with a detail of the other operations of his staff, including parti culars of a sanitary examination of 927 ennrf_haueco, and 424 enllor. .I.—ca or inmates i n th e l ower par t s o f the town, and from which it appeared that the sanitary officers had made special examinations during the week of 2,269 different apartments in street-houses, and 2,553 rooms in court-houses, in the districts named, for the purpose of eradicating unhealthiness therefrom, besides the cellar in spection above named. The CHAIRMAN stated that an interview had been held with the Liverpool and Leeds Canal Company, regarding the charge of 1d a ton made t o M r . R ose , f or loadig manure from each of the cuts. They continued to demand that charge, and it remained to be seen whether Mr. Rose would agree to it or not. He suggested that Mr. Rose should be summoned to attend the next meeting, and he hoped the matter would be arranged. It was agreed that Mr. Rose should be requested to attend the next meeting. Mr. David Hennessy was promoted to the appointment held by Mr. Parker in the engineer's office at a salary of £7O a year. A letter was read from Mrs. Parker, requesting that the committee would be pleased to contribute something towards her distressed situation consequent on the death of her husband. On the motion'of Mr. Moss, seconded by Mr. Godfrey, it was proposed that one month's salary be given her. A memorial was read from a number of occupiers of houses in Tithebarn-street, praying the committee to put a stop to the nuisance arising from Messrs. Mc Fie and Sons' sugar refinery in Bachelor -street. The MEDICAL OFFICER said that this nuisance had been complained of some time ago, but that he had heard nothing for the last eight or nine months. It was referred to the medical officer to report upon. In reference to the application at the last meeting of the committee by the West Derby board of guardians, The BOROUGH ENGINEER stated that he had had as inter view with Mr. Clayton, and that the guardians were willing to sign any document. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTON called on the chairman to state the nature of their interview with Dr. Sutherland. The CHAIRIVIAN said that they had a long conversation with him, and that he went away fully impressed that the committee had done all they could in improving the sanitary condition of the town. Mr. Moss observed, that his mission was merely in con nection with the parish authorities, by whom a deputation ed to him, and to accompany him in his inspec- ,pp oint tion of the church- Mr. GLADSTONE :—He expressed a very decided opinion, that this committee have done all in their power to bring about sanitary regulations in the town, and that he had nothing to suggest to us on that score. Mr. RALuiaD said that in the township of Toxteth Park, were about to purchase land for a new cemetery. Mr. Moss :—lt is necessary that they should be had, no doubt ; but in future you must bid adieu to 2s. rates in Livero'ool HOLME called attention to the manner in which pri vate parties were allowed to obtrude on the footpaths, by the architectural decorations of their houses. He thought that this matter should be attended to in the new act. The BOROUGH ENGINEER said there was a clause in the act, which allowed only three inches for architectural de- corations. The committee then adjourned COUNTY COURT. - -YESTERDAY --ESTERDAT BEFORE J. POLLOCK, ESQ., THE JUDGE. W. OWEN v. W. ALLEN.—By this action the plaintiff, formerly a singer at Walton church, sought to recover the sum of £lO Is. from the defendant, the organist of that church, as the balance of salary duo. The defendant did not appear. The plaintiff stated he had been engaged to sing at the church at a salary of £5 15s. per annum, which was to be paid quarterly. When he ceased singing, the sum claimed was due to him ; he had repeatedly asked defend ant for the amount, and had been promised payment. His HONOR : Has the defendant received the money ? Plaintiff : He has, and I do not think he is deserving of much leniency in this case. Verdict for plaintiff; the amount to be paid immediately DELANY v. STRANGE.—In this case, which was one of collision, and fully reported in this journal, Mr. A s pi na ll, for the defendant applied for a new trial, to be heard before a jury "of men of science in monied matters." Mr. Hall, for the plaintiff resisted the application, but his Honor de cided upon granting a new trial, to be heard before a jury on the 12th of December next. GOWLA.ND v. SHARPE.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, chronometer maker, to recover from the defendant, a shipowner, the sum of £lB 4s. for some charts, &c., sup plied to Captain Lawson, of the Caroline, one of the de fendant's ships. Mr. lime appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Almond for the defendant. It appeared that in the month of June last, Captain Law son, of the Caroline, called at the establishment of the plaintiff and purchased several charts, and other articles, the bill for which was sent to the defendant's office, when the cashier said it was all right, the captain was to have three months' credit. On a subsequent interview, Mr. Sharpe said he had already paid too much for the captain, but would write to him on the West Coast, The defendant denied his responsibility, and proved that it was the captains of vessels who found charts and not the owners of the vessel. His H osoß directed a non-suit, there being no evidence to show that the captain bad requested the owner to pay the amount, which he had no doubt would be the case when he arrived in this port. CARPENTER V. GIRTAN. —Mr. Aspinall, who appeared for the plaintiff, said this was an action to recover £lB, the amount paid on several seamen's notes. In each case proof was given of the seamen having signed the notes, which were payable five days after th e ship had left Londonderry. The defendant denied his liability, on the ground that the seamen had not sailed with the ship, but had deserted from Portrush ; of this fact, however, he was not prepared with legal evidence, and the case was consequently, at the request of the defendant, adjourned until the ship should arrive, he paying the expenses. The defendant had no objection to pay the amount under protest, but his Honor would not give his advice on that point. GIELIS HENDRY V. GEORGE RICHARD BUSHEY. —This was an action brought by the plaintiff, formerly proprietor of the Kirkdale Vinegar Brewery, to recover from the defen dant, the present proprietor, the sum of £5O, the value of a number of vinegar casks, which, at the time o f th e t rans f er of the property, as it had passed through other hands, were out. The defendant pleaded a set-off for the carriage of the casks to the brewery, and that they had been charged at two high a rate. His Honor gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages £3O, which was £2O less than the amount claimed, he being of opinion that they had been valued at two high a rate. DOWNIE v. KING.—In this action the plaintiff, formerly a clerk in the employ of the defendant, sought to recover £23 lls. 3d., the balance of an account for wages and over- time. The plaintiff, failing to show that Sere was any arrangement at the time of his engagement for the payment of overtime, or subsequently, his Honor directed a nonsuit, without calling upon the defendant to go into his case. JOSEPH QUINN V THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY.—Sir G. Stephen appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Grucott for the defendants. This action was brought to recover £43 10s, the value of three boxes of eggs. It ap peared that during a certain week in October, Mr. James Doyle, of Dubli2, shipped by the company's packet, twel ve boxes of eggs, only nine of which had ever been delivered to the plaintiff. The servants in the employ of Mr. Doyle, proved the delivery of the twelve boxes of eggs at the com pany's packets ; and the plaintiff swore to only having re ceived nine boxes, although he had been charged for the freight of the twelve boxes. For the defence it was alleged that the eggs had been left by one vessel, and brought by that which followed; but the company had no means of identifying the overplus cargo of one vessel from th a t w hi c h had been left. The serva n t s of the company could not pro du3e an item in the memorandum book for the delivery of the three boxes. Verdict for the plaintiff. TOWNSHIP OP TOXTRTH PARE A special meeting of the Vestry of the extra parochial place of Toxteth-park, was held at 10 o'clock on yesterday, in the Public-offices ' Park-place, pursuant to a requisitio n of the ratepayers, "for the purpose of determining whether a burial-ground should be provided for the said extra paro chial place, under the acts 15 and 16 Vic., cap. 85, and 16 and 17 Vic., cap. 134, and if at such meeting it were de termined to provide such burial-ground, then for the vestry to take such steps as by law was required for carrying such determination into effect." Mr. GREGSON, T.C., was in the chair The other gentlemen present were—Messrs. Halhead, T.C., Robertson; T,C., M'Nicol, T.C., Ewing, Ogden, Harrison, Aljass, Mountfield Smith, Cleaver, Wilson, Gregg, Gilbert Harrison, Roberts, Hetherington, Richard Miller, Smith, J. Dickenson, Thomas Dunnett, Sailes, Fisher, Wat son; Carter, A. Horsfall, and Rev. Mr. Roberts. After the Clerk had read the requisition convening the meeting, • The CHAIRMAN said that they were all aware of the very great difficulty of obtaining accommodation for the inter ment of the poor throughout Liverpool, but especially in that township. Walton, and in fabt all the burial-grounds around the town were completely filled, and it was there fore now absolutely necessary to adopt some measures to remedy the evil. Mr. WILSON thought the attendance of ratepayers was not sufficiently large to determine the question, and sug gested an adjournment. Some discussion took place on this - head, but it was eventually resolved that the meeting should determine the question before it, inasmuch as the usual notice had been given by advertisement in the papers and placards. Mr. TlAnntsort then proceeded to show the necessity that existed for extra-mural burial accommodation, particularly in the district of that township. In proof of this necessity he referred to the increase that had taken place in their population, which had increased from 2,300 in 1801, to 61,326 in 1851. And if they looked forward to the next eighteen years, as they should do ; if they intended to meet the requirements of the township in this particular ; they should calculate on a population of no less than 120,000 ; so that unless something were done immediately, they would have no burial-ground at all. He had had a conversation with Dr. Sutherland on the matter ; and from the facts stated to him by that gentleman, he believed that if they had a proper cemetery, it would be not only an accommoda tion to the public, but a source of revenue to the rate-payers. In support of this belief he instanced the cemetery of Glas nevin, near Dublin, where, in 1841, a company established a burial-ground of nine acres, and such were the require ments of the place, that they had to extend it in 1846 to forty acres; and ut! to 1853, they had buried 116,000 bodies there. In conclusion, he moved that a burial-ground should be provided for the extra parochial place of Toxteth-park, in conformity with the terms of the act. Mr. ALPASS seconded the motion, and in doing so also pointed out the necessity for this step. Mr. HALHEAD askedif it were intended that a commit tee should be appointed for the purpose of buying the ground? The CHAIRMAN explained that by a change in the act it was enacted that when such a resolution as that moved were carried, the vestry. should appoint a committee of not less than three and not more than nine members, to constitute a parochial board for this purpose ; one third of them to go out of office annually, but to be eligible for re-election. Mr. HALHEAD inquired if such a board would have the power to purchase any quantity of land they might think proper ? _ _ - Mr. CLEAVER replied that by the act they were limited to £15,000. Mr. HALHEAD said that it would be more in accordance with the feelings of the inhabitants if a sub-committe were appointed to treat for the land, and then bring the matter before the rate-payers for their assent. He had no objection to the proposition before the meeting, but, on the contrary, he concurred in its necessity. For, from a conversation lie had had with Dr. Sutherland, he gathered that the greater portion of the burial-grounds within the town would be altogether speedily clo3ed. He wished to know, however, if it were compulsory to pay the money borrowed within twenty years ? Mr: CLEAVER ',bat, ordinarily speaking, it would be compulsory in them to do so, but there were circum stances under which they might get the time extended. The o±ininnANT said they would have to pay 9 per cent. every year-4 per cent. as interest, and 5 per cent. in liqui dation of the principal. Mr. .ALPASS : But that will grow 1p.2 0.70 7 year. A brief diQouoaion then took place as to the requirements of the general extra-mural burial act —namely, as to whether each grave could not be re-opened until after th 2 lapse 'of fifteen years. This point did not seem very clear. Mr. ALPASS said that there had been some calculation made at a preliminary , meeting, and that they were satisfied that between 37 and 40 acres, which could be had under £15,000, would be quite sufficient. This sum would, in addition, wall in and lay out the place—build two chapels, and drain the ground ; and if this sum was not sufficient, there would be nothing to prevent the board from coming before the vestry and asking for an additional thousand. If they could get the above quantity of land for the sum specified, there could scarcely be any doubt but that the in come of the cemetery would meet all its expenses. He might as well mention, also, that it was the opinion of the preliminary meeting to which he had referred, that £15,000 would be ample enough to provide sufficient burial accom modation for the next twenty years. Mr. FISHER asked if they were confined to the township of Toxteth Park in which to purchase the land ? The CHAIRMAN replied that they might purchase it any where, but it would be desirable to purchase it as near the township as possible. Mr. observed that, from what had been said with regard to the necessity of additional burial-ground, it mattered very little as to whether they exceeded their limit of £15,000. The necessity existed, and the accommodation should be provided, no matter what it cost ; but he was sure that if= they appointed a proper committee according to the provisions of the act of parliament, with the chairman at its head, they would not have to pay too much for the ground. It was not then necessary to go into details, but let them have the largest amount of ground at the smallest possible cost ; and no gentleman could suppose that the board would act in any other way. (Hear, hear.) The poor could not pay for this accommodation, and therefore the rich shonld do so, and he, as a rate payer, was quite willing to bear his proportion of the expense. The CHAIRMAN observed that they were then arguing on the necessity of such accommodation. When they had de. terrnined that, they could appoint the board and fix the Mr. WILSON begged to 'be understood, that though he Moved the adjournment, he was not opposed to the object of the meeting. He had lived too long in the district not - moaaL" - to know the necessity that existed for such aceanl- the The CHAIRMAN remarked, that in the new ceracte,rYthat 5 would be two chapels built, one for dissenters, and portion of the ground would be left unconsecrated. 1 _ ura l Mr. ROBERTS also urged the necessity of estr , -,a1, 0 interment, and said that no fact was better establishead`'de that the low forms of typhus fever, scarlatinat.allo, f r o% pression were attributable to the malaria arisin, densely-populated burial grounds.
