Mr. Hutu°, M.P., moved "that I ocuamittee be
appointed to inquire into the existing amxe :writs for
the propar construction and alteration of buddinga
ordered by the court or by any anthorbei committee to
be befit at the cost of the county ; and to inquire if
any and what changes are desirable In the prestut
arrangement." Ho had been led to put this Doti°e on
the raper, in oonsequenoe of circumstances tLat bad
transpired at the asylum. The work done for to c.senty

Haought
te:Carr Uhrs said the motion was • rtfl.mtion
on one of their oldest ollsers, the Gutsily Surveyor,
whoa duties were completely laid down, and be vu
paid £2OO a year, with nothing extra unless a ooatrect
was over £l,OOO. He had given them every assistant*
when asked respecting the asylum, and had been a most
faithful otlitier.

Mr. WILLIAMS onsooded, feeling that whatever had
taken plasm behind the scenes, the Surveyor woull coma
out perfectly clear.

• special surveyor, and although alterations had been
ma‘ under in. supervialon of the County Surveyor, he
did not think Mr. Evens was responeible for the work
at the asylum on he would be for that in any °thee
public building. He approved the motion, and thought
the Court might fairly inquire whether some assistance
should not be given the Surveyor, to ensure building
being carried out substantially and properly.
The Rev. C. J. GLYN entreated the addition of words
to remove all reflection tom the Surveyor.
