be re-oi seed, and at the aditureed court at Etteedford
(24th November) they felt prepared to move the Pnvy
Council in order that the fairs •nd markets might be

purpose of seeing whether any new outbreak

appeared at Chippenhant. which was in connecting' with

tlifiered very mot b Go this subject, hut las was cure it
was the duty of the Court to be on tl4 safe side (hear,

time had then come tor taking union, with a view to

TIE ABOLITIOX OF TOLL GATES.

The Rey. G. P. Canaan:am made • lengthy stew.
'ment in repent to • mnveuteut for the abolition of Cie
MINIM mmagement and maintenance of turnpike roads.
He übset ved that 100 veers ago the roads were in a very
had state, whereupon Government "motioned the
tusking an I maintenance of toed' under Unman' trusts,
and many millions of money were raised for the purpose.
for which a metal,' interest was to he paid. besides which
inane roads were made by Government. The outlay
was halog paid off, Falter which the roads were thrown
upon the parishes in which they were situated, which
we. a great grievance, and • heavy hardy,, but he
, thought it &rumble that the payment of the debts should
' be empleted at a much earlier write' than it would he
under premot cirzumetaiscro. He believed the turnpike
reteds in England itaft.DOW In debt £4,0011,000, and the

difflaulty was to raise that money so no to pay off the
bondholders in • proper manner, as 4 not give them 1 or
2 or cent. for their mosey, es he had beard suggented,
instead of ths rate held out to them. H. mid the
matter bad been taken up in a neighbouring county,
and be hoped tt would rewire atten.ion throughout the
nountry. The tolls were at present raised mainly by •
tax upon horns. As to the system upon which the
turnpike roads ought to be maietained, It was not for
'beer, as • court, to consider; that would have to be
determined by Piolionent ; mom thought it should be •
theme on the hithwo rats. others nu he twenty rata
—and others on the ronoolidated fund. But what he
wanted the Court to do wail to give • unanimous
opinion that the present system woe bed, expensive,
sod wastefuL There were 17 trusts in Direst, the
tollsof which amounted to £12,733 per annum; and the
expenses of repairs to 16,064 to lide—not quint ben
the tolls collected, What became of the rest of the
money 1 the salaries of others wore £1,323 la& 61.,
whieb only included payment. Indict,, treasurer& awl
surveyors. But there were ten. houses to be maintained
anti many espenses in the °olio:noon toll.. U, der a
new system, mucl lang. r districts iniaht he tariengol, et
a usual less cost, for instance, it would not be neesasary
to have 17 treasurers sod 17 b yore for the nunpike
roads in Dorn& The amouut of debt on Dorset turnpike
road. was £92.140 ; some Irwin. had • eery hoary
debt one more nom £40,000, which they could never
eapeet to pay off. He proposed that the Court of
Quarter Beosions,tok ins into oonstderation the grieves@
arising out of the present mattagem•-nt of turnpike rued*
throughout Boglaod, sod the fon of the espens. •
thiciern on twirton psi lobes by the partial abolition of
tolls in souse districts, carnet ly peen on Government
the expediency of taking into sonaideratroo .ha whole
subject with the view of sobinitting to Padiament. •
'yawn whieh, without injustice to existing rights, win
provide foci general reli. (fret. tolls.
The CHAIRMAN said this was a very large question,
and worthy the considerstios of the Court, but it.
mold not submit Mr. Cambridre's motion, as it we/
different from that of which he bed given woks.
After a brief eoevermation on the point, Om Rev. B.
cw,whridge. at bid Lordship's saggestion, 'nosed (••
he had notified) that the geueral statemenk of the

Mr. Fungi thought this mares most desirable se

Caumare said they were doubtless all agreed
that it would be a good thing to pay 01l the deloc on

Mr. CAMBER(/' said that wss a gnastioe they timid
