down and examining the plans. After a few
farther remarks he wool on to my that be bad no
doubt the alterations could be made I but were they
justified in going to such expense, when a scheme
weld be carried out for £llOO without running the
risk of injuring the bell, and which would be quite
sullicient for the business which would be carried
out? If they thought otherwise the Connell had
better let the Exchalge remain as it wee for 12
months, and see whether it would be in use or not.
He had spoken to many persona wlin teassaoted
business in that place, sad they said the =helm
proposed by the Council would not answer.
Mr. Bitexerr inquired if it was Mr. Ensure
opinion that if the Exchange was allowed to remain
as et present, whether the trade would be taken
from it, when that gentleman replied decidedly so,
except those persons who were obliged to attend.
The MAYOII asked Mr. Enter if -he had any pro-
position to make?
Mr. Eason replied that he Lad not. The subject
WU in the hands of the committee.
Some desultory dismission ensued, slier which the
?devastated that when Mr. Mondey examined the
hall, before the clock tower was built, be pee 'it as
his opinion that the building was much stronger
than he expected to Ond it. Mr. Banks had =-
formed Mr. lowa* that more danger would arise
to the building from the erection of the tower, than
would possibly arise from withdrawing the wells.
So far as inquiries bad been made tbey had resulted 1
in favourable opinion ea to the fallibility of tarrying
out the plan. Mr. Eames objection did sot apply
to that, bet to the whole ahem& With regard to
light, Mr. &mat had shoved that that was possible

between Mr. Ensure and Mr. Joetett's plena, respect-
ing light, when he was informed that the former
gave 60 feet by 30, and the latter 42 by 29, but in
addition to that the present lights would be
retained.

Exchanges in different large markets, and they
ascertained that there was not so much top light in

only eat 1200 over Mr. ' what that gentle-
man replied that £2OO were in the head of the
Council.

Mr. &MIL contended that the Council were not I
interested in the agricultural body, and were not
compliant to form an opinion respecting the nature
of a building for the corn trade.
Mr. Lone denial this statement, and said they were I
all interested in the requirements of the agnculturiew
of this neighbourhood, and did all they could 10
accommodate them, and had gives much time and
attention in order to attain the &eons she. He log
-
gaged that the Council should stay their hands. and
in the mean time they might perhaps be AIM to
obtain • site which would be acceptable to all
parties.
Mr. Btesert considered that the committee were
equally as much men of business as those who at-
tended the Corn Exchange.
Mr. Fawn said it would be jut* as reasonable for

I talk about their business, as for the committee to
