Site No 1. This site has already been submitted to
the Council, as being the most suitable for increased
market accommodation, having reference to the vicinity
of St. John's Market, Ittd emnprises,Queen's-square (as
in use at present) and Williamson-sqiidl6, and the, pro-
perty lying between those squares, including the Theatre •
Royal, but exclusive of the shops and premises in Roe-
street, fronting the north end of St. John's Market. The
area thus available for market purposes is nearly 9,000
square yards; the cost of purchasing the necessary pro-
perty is estimated at £41,000.

Site No. 4. Is a bleidt Of pidiieay on the noirili side
of Islington and west side of Canterbury-ifreet, known
as the Birchfield estate. The area of this property is
about 13,800 square yards; the price asked is about
£18,300.
Site No. s.—ls land and property belonging to the
Corporation, situate on the north side and upper end of
Shaw's-brow, being the site of the two old windmills
and sundry premises adjoining thereto, comprising an
area of about 5,400 square yards. In immediate prox-
imity' is the site of the old Islington market, the area of
which is about 2,600 ntitiar6 yards i making, together,
a space available for market acednimdddtiOn of lbout
8,000 square Yards. With respect to the sites numbered
1,2, and 3, above referred to, this committee are advised
that, for the purpose of purchasing the land, application
would have to be made to Parliament, and an act ob-
tained, and that none of the sites could be made available
for market accommodation earlier than the end of the
Year 1862 or 1863, supposing such act to be applied for
in the next Session of Parliament. The site No. 4 has
been offered for sale at the price of £18,300, the prin-
cipal buildiriga &lige thftbnil are let under yearly
tenancies. Notice to quit would haVe ib be ser'ed tipdti
the tenants, and possession might possibly be obtained
at the end of October in this present year, and the site
be made available for market accommodation in the
spring of 1861. Site No. sis in the posseision of the
Corporation, and might be made available for market
purposes—so far as regards the old site of Islington
market—within one month, and the remaining portion,
floor which the tenants would have to he removed, and
the biiilding,s ti&rgd and land levelled within four
Months; this site &And he made atailable tor market a eco m.
naodation Without any further ontlay than is at present
being incurred in levelling the land, in accordance with the
previous instructions of the Council, excepting the
expense of paving the site, and building an office for
market purposes, the cost of which it is estimated would
be about £1,050. _ _ _ _

This eonittlittee, looking to the fact of the gnat neces-
sity that exists for extended market accommodation
being given to persons now frequenting the tfiarkets, and
which will largely increase as the season advances, and
that the area contained in site No. 5 is sufficient for all
the present requirements for additional market accom-
modation, and also to the fact that a portion of the
land forming the site is untenanted, and by being con-
verted to market purposes would be profitably occupied
without detriment or hindrance to any future require-
ments the Corporation might have in respect to the
said land, this committee recommend that site No. 5
above referred to should be at once converted into a
place for increased market accommodation.—Resolved---
That the surveyor do procure a lithograph plan of lot
No. 5 referred to in the above report, and that copies
thereof, and also lithograph copies of the report be sent
to each member of the Council before its next meeting.
