Now I hold that we aro not to port with money holonte
log to Olin oounty, except Into the Nina. of truitteem,
bucattee we know that any money in the hands of air
individual loin point of feet hi. property, end, therefore, )
we ought not to place In the halide of any man the pro.
party of the county, except 11l a trustee I therefore, I
ehmild recommend that the Court de place three
Exeliequer Hills in the joint names of the Treseurer anti
Clerk of the Pettey. We then have the two raven of
the twenty holding tliii money in trust for us. In the
hand. of an individual, all I maid before, It iii port of
that individual's money. No doubt the Treaeurer is as
trustworthy Al any mon for any emount ; but it lo not
fair to him to ask hint to take the responeibility of
£17,000--it is a heavy responsibility for any man. There
is not any magistrate of the °minty who would hold that
sum individually for the county, except an a troatee :
therefore, let the money be lodged in the name of the
Treasuer and Clerk of the Peace. For it le not a
question of the treasurer being alive, it is a question of
that officer being dead. He may die before tcrtnorrow
Morning. I therefore warn the Court. We have had
experienee in Colonel Waugh, and seen oo much that we
are urged to take care that this money panes in a safe
and proper way in Exchequer Bills. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said : The Amendment of the noble
Lord is I'understand, that £13,000, being a component
part of 'the £17,000, is to be invested in Exchequer Bills
in the name of the Treasurer of the county and the
Clerk of the Peace.
-

Lord PORTMAN assented.
The CRAIRMAM then put the report, embodying the
suggestion of the noble Lord, to the Court, observing
that thus the county would reoeive the interest of that
money instead of its lying dormant and of no use.
The report, with the, noble Lord's amendment was
then d to, and ordered to be printed for the in.
on ot magistrates and others.
Mr. FRAMPTON urgently entreated that more magis-
trates would attend on the Bridge and Building Com-
mittee than heretofore, seeing that so large • sum of
money was about to be expended; for he was bound to
say, and he stated it with regret, that the attendance had
been hithertoeciry small.
Lord PORTMAN remarked that it would seem a little
odd thiitnej" ihould borrow £13,000 More than they
wanted, ad invest that sum in kxchequer Bills. It
would be vory useful that the ratepayers should know
that the Court had not proceeded hastily in this matter.
Tbert Wel eOntowhot considerable difference in the
Wawa *dor the loan of the money, and in thiit soorning

from the investment in Exchequerßills, and at first sight
this would appear to be placing the county in an un-
necessarily disadvantageous position ; but, he himself
had found from inquiries that the money could not be
had at a lower rate of interact than 4,1 per cent, while
they were obliged to borrow the whole NUM at once ;
and it would be unwise to disturb the arrangement
which the 'minutiae° had made. Ile hoped that Parlia-
ment would interfere to save counties these monstrous
charges in the execution of publio works, by granting
greater facilities for raising the money.
The CHA IRMA N then moved that the deed be for-
mally executed, which was done. The Chairman and
two other Notices hat lug aigned the doenment, a
cheque for the amount wi4.4 titan hindel over by the
