WATER COMMITTEE.

. The weekly. meeting of this committee was held at.
the T,own-ball yesterday, the chair being occupied by
Mr. Hodson. The other members piesent were Messrs.
Crellit, Reloo, Jeffery, Ftrnwoith, C. Turner, Rae,
'Wagstaff, Vi* odruff, and Ruined.
From the Engineer's report it diffiediV, that the
qiiar,itityof water received from Rivington during the
week ending the 4th of August, vas 72,931,230 gallons,
and tile quantity pumpecl from, the wells, 26,055,756
gallons; the quantity of Rivingtoil Witei to well water
being as 36. to 13.
THE FIRE AT THE STANLEY DOCK WAREHOUSES. -

The Engineer submitted the following repOrt on this
subject :--
" This fire occurred on the evening of Tednesclay,
the lst of August, some time between nine and ten
o'clock. The alarm reached this office at 10.30.
" It took place in the upper storey of the north-east
angle 'of the northern range. The room contained
cotton and other goods. There are fire, mains and
hydrants laid along Oa yard and tip the staircase of
these warehouses, and the lloCk Committpe, Rave pro-
vided hose and other appliances considered to be neces-
sary for the purposes intended. From the best informa-
tion the engmeer can obtain, when the hose war applied
to the staircase hydrants the pressure was found not to
be sufficiently strong to throw the water to a greater
distance thigh a few yards from the nozzles ; and it has
been stated that, had thte be ii sufficient pressure at
the commencement much property would helve been
saved.
" This statement, with other facts which came within
the knowledge of the engineer and assistant whilst
attending at the fire, has induced him to make inquiries
into the facte, and he finds that, on the alarm of fire
reaching the Athol,.street station, where a fireman and
reel is Statidned; with d tntrieoek for the night, the
night turncock, Webster, being out Cloglng tip the side
streets, the fireman, in his zeal, ordered the turncock to
open up the Athol-street side services, and by that
means for some time deprived the parties engaged at
the fire from obtaining such a supply as they would
otherwise have done, On this mistake being dis-
ceveredi, lama, the valve shut, a good supply was imme-
diately blitaiiied: . , ,
~
"Ultimately nine jets were broirght to hear on the
fire, and two were used below, two of 'which were from
two engines.
- "It appears further that when the fire brigade from
the Central Station reached the fire, shortly after ten
o'clock, the roof had fallen in.
"The section of the town in which these warehouses
are situated is supplied With water from the Audley-
street ItesetVoiti and the mains from this station have
not yet been completed. /t is to lie regfetted they were
not; fof had they heed 4o; *liateyet the result might
have beet! as td the pitierty distiofecl; aii eiplantitory
report would have been unnecessary, for the prissilre of.
water would have been the beet that, could be obtained,
and,wotild in he oxiiiien of the engineer, have obviated,
• i • -,, . .
all complaint as to eficieney. , , . ,
'ii Thie itibiecl has been be foie the committee on
several occasions, and Id iededtly as tile biegithiingof
May in the present year, at which time the conimittee
was informed that, in consequence of the Audley-street
main not being complete. the northern division was in
en unsatisfactory state. The delay has arisen from the
Health Committee having under consideration the con-
•struction of a new bridge at Boundary-street; and the
present structure not being suitable for carrying a pipe
of such dinienstions as that of the tripe, o heilatd.
"It Vassuggested that, sinless The Health Cot iffiittee
did intend to proceed with the Work at. an early day, a
temporary pipe.should. NI laid.
„The Engaer was in-
formed that stNh was theantention of the health c4m-
mittee, and, that the works Wodld ininiedlelP be pro-
ceeded ivitlil . '
"On finding no progress had been made the inquiry.
was repeated, and again a similar reply was made. On
a more recent inquiry it appears that the works will not
be sufficiently advanced for nine months to admit of the
pipes being carried over the canal. Immediately after
the discussion referred to the Engineer had all the works
necessary to complete the line of main done, with the
exceptiod 6f the passing M& the canal, add in addition
carried a length If pipe tilting Yaufhall-toad trona Bolin-
dary-striet to Athol-street,,ftir the ,sole ,imniedittp_pni-
pose Of .iiiigirienting the supply to the districtin ciueS-
tion ; the improieinetit thus tenipotatily effected has
been unquestionable.
" It therefore becomes necessary to make rf temporary
connection, if posible, so placed as will admit of the
bridge being built before it need be disturbed. This it
was desirable to avoid, could the structure have been
ready in time. When this is 'completed, the character
of the supply hi the tiorthetti diVisinn will he entirely
changed; add it Nis heed the intention to obtain, from
the
,Ose6retiens „Whi4la Weald, be d7tiVed from the

of determining the question of the necessity of
separating, as was done in the original Green-lane
nrains, those, for fire prevention from those for general
supply. This subject, in volYing #s it,Ooes large interests
and dpenclittire; has, been one. of Anich anxiety, to the
engineer, and would be cieteiliiihied frditi pratlical result
if the Boundary-street main were completed. It may not
be out of place to state that for some time past night
turncocks have been placed at the following stations :
Hatton-garden, Seel-street, Rose-hill, Athol-street,
Present-street, and Eisex-street, whose duties have been
to shut up the side services after eight o'clock in the

that the pressures on the mains should be kept up as
high as possible, and .to be in attendance at the several
fire-stations in the event of fire occurring in their respec-
tive districts. Hitherto this has been attended with
good results. To complete the temporiry works pro.
poned at Boundary-street, from three weeks toe month
will be required, and the cost is estimated at £3OO.
"tith ,August; 1880." . •
Mt. Crikaita Taiiii-de said he bad
.idst• left,ti Meeting
of the 'Warehouse Committee of the Mersey Docks Aid
Harbour Board, who were making a very stringent
investigation respecting the recent fire at the Stanley
Dock Warehouses. The report of the superintendent
of the warehouses quite confirmed the admission made
by. Mr. Duncan, that at WA commencement of the fire
there was not a sufficient supply of water. When the
hose was put to the hydrants, the water would not
flow above four .Or five feet from the nozzle. If there
had been a sufficient pressUre of Water, hi helleied that
comparatively little damage would have been done,
Instead of this, mauy thousand pounds damage had
been done ; and not only that, but there was imminent
danger to the whole stack of warehouses taking fire, and .
nothing but the substantial way in which these warehouses
were built, prevented this being the case. The great cause
of the deficiency appeared to be, that the night turncock
was ii(it ift the place in Which he ought to have been,
and an ignorant tan Was allowed to take possession of
the turncock, add the result was very natural. Mr.
Duncan had stated what precautions had been used,
and turncocks had been appointed ; but if these men
were not in their places, it was useless to make regalia-
tions. That was not the first time that something of
the kind had taken place, though not, perhaps, to the
same extent. A very great misfortune had attended the
arrangement of the engineer with reference to the fire
at the dock warehouses, and such things really ought
not and must not be alloWed.

Mr. Dr NCAN-=The firertian gave the tunicock inatruc.
tions to do that which he ought not to have done.
Mr. TURoEß•—Where was the turncock ?
Mr. DUCAN—He was shutting off side-supplies.
Mr. TIELOE was in hopes that Mr. Turner would have
concluded his remarks with a motion for the appoint-
ment of a committee, for when he found blame thrown
upon officials, which perhaps might be attributed to
those higher in position, there were many facts which
ought to be enquired into. He could not help thinking
that it was due to the Council, and due to the committee
themselves, that a special committee should be appointed
to enquire into the facts detailed in the engineer's report.
He felt that the matter was of the greatest importance,
and hoped that some member of the committee of more
importance than himself would move the appointment
of a committee.

Mr. Alderman BENNETT said he would be happy to
act upon such a committee if it were'empowered to give
the engineer instructions to lay down a separate line of
mains for extinguishing fires, which might be done at a
cost of £40,000, while some fires had destroyed pro-
perty to the extent of some £300,00 or £400,000.
Mr. TURNER said that was not the subject which he
was anxious to bring before the committee. He had no
doubt that a better arrangement of the mains might be
made, but he was anxious that the immediate attention
of the committee should be drawn to the fact that the
best use was not made of the mains as they were at
present, and that was a question which he thought the
town looked to that committee for a searching enquiry
into.

Mr. JEFFERY said it appeared that but for the mistake
of the fireman there was an ample supply of water, and he
could not undeistand why Mr. Bennett should plunge
them into an expense which would be very serious, in
addition to the deficiency in revenue which they bad at
present, without showing that the supply was deficient.
There could be no doubt that there was an ample supply
of water if it had been turned on by the turncock.
Mr. BENNETT said it was impossible, with the under-
ground system of pipeage. •
Mr. JEFFERY—We must deal with things as we find
them.

Mr. WOODRUFF would like to know why the fireman
took upon himself to give directions to the turneock,
and whether the turncock and the fireman knew their
duties, and he also wished to know whether the instruc-
tions which those men received were verbal, written, or
printed.

It was eventually agreed that a committee consisting
of Messrs. Beloe, }'arnwortb, Jeffery, Crellin, Rae,
Woodruff, and Turner should be appointed a committee
to consider the report of the engineer, and, this beiug
the whole of the business, the committee adjourned.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A VOLUNTEER BANDMASTER.—
On Saturday, the rifle volunteers of Stockport mustered
for drill, preparatory to the review at Newton-1e-
Willows. For some time past the band has been in
training by Mr. William Johnson, Peter-street, Man-
chester, and on Saturday turned out for the first time,
the bandmaster being apparently much elated at the
proficiency which the musicians had attained. On the
march from the Market. Place to Woodbank, Mr.
Johnston, who was leading with the clarionet, suddenly
faltered and sunk to the ground. Ensign Graham (a
medical gentlemen connected with the sixth company)
adopted the most prompt means in his power to avert
the effects of what appeared to be an epileptic fit. This,
however, was in vain, for in about four minutes Mr.
Johnson ceased to exist. The volunteers were dismissed
immediately after the mournful event.

Cross-examined by Mr. Campbell : He did not say anything
when I arrested him on a warrant. There was an enquiry
before Major Greig and the Watch Committee last week. The

their lives if he saw them togetheii of iir the street. The
complaint of the prisoner againit the futpetikr; before the

on the iuight of the 25th July the prisoner came to me in

COURT OF PASSAGE-YESTERDAY.

(Before Ef,*Altti Esq., Q.C., Asseesor.)
ACTION FOR THE No.N-tIEEIVERY or Oodn's.
MILLER AND ANOTHER V. PEER: ANli g.146114EK.^-The
plaintiffs in this case were Messrs. John anti lienrY
Biller; and the defendants Messrs. Peek and Brothers,
wholesale tea and Coffee merchants. The action was
brought to recover damages:for the non-delivery of a
barrel of coffee, which the plaintiffs had purchased from
the defendants. Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiffs,
and Mr. Eleightort for the defendants. On the 10th of
August last the plairitiffa purchased from the defendants
two barrels of Ceylon Plantation coffee, kr Whieli the
defendants agreed to take a bill for au los. 4d., Fly-
able in two months. On the Rth October the plaintiffs
applied for one of these, and it was sent' to them ; but
on applying for the other, they were unable to obtain it.
They made repeated applications ; and the defendants
eventually said they could not deliver the barrel, as it
bad been re-sold. They also alleged that, although
there certainly Was a contract to sell to the plaintiffs
both barrels of coffee, it was rescinded by the consent of
both parties. 111 support of this view of the case Mr.
Deighton called the defendants' salesman, whd said that
after the first contract was. entered into the defendants
found that they had oversold this particular finality of
coffee, and they therefore sent a corrected invoice to the
plaintiffs. The salesman called personally at the plain-
tiffs' shop, and told them that he could not send the
second barrel of coffee, as they had oversold themselves.
This was the case ; and the learned Assessor, in remark-
ing upon it to the jury, said the whole question was
whether the conversation spoken of by the defendants'
salesman could be relied on ; and if so, then it might be
taken for granted that there was a virtual rescinding of
thee-original contract. If it were not so, then the plain-
tiffs were entitled to recover compensation for whatever
loss they had sustained by the non-delivery of the coffee.
The jury, after a short consultation, found for the
plaintiffs--Damages £5 15s. 6d.
BEVAN V. WEACHEN.—In this case the plaintiff,
who is a porter, sought to recover from the defendant, a
cork-cutter, compensation for certain injuries he had
sustained through the alleged negligence of the de-
fendant. Mr. Temple appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Deighton for the defendant. The plaintiff was sent
by Mr. Radley, of the Adelphi Hotel, to bring some
goods from the defendant's place. On entering the
warehouse a handcart, which was being lowered from
one of the upper stories, fell upon him and injured him.
He was taken to the Infirmary, and recovered in a few
days. The defence was that the plaintiff had contri-
buted to the accident by his own negligence. The jury
found for the plaintiff to the amount of L 4 10s.

ACTION ON ACCOUNT OF MONEY PAID.—ROBERTS
v. Ditareit.—This was an action in which tha plaintiff,
who had formerly been keeper of a public-house, sought
to recover the sum of £75 which he had deposited with
the defendant as an earnest of the purchase-of the good-
will and fixtures of the public-house occupied by the
latter. Mr. Brett was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall
for the defendant. The circumstances of. the case were
briefly these :—ln February last the plaintiff 'and
defendant entered into negotiations for the sale, by the
latter, of his public-house in Commutatioarrow., Early
in the month it was agreed that the license, goodwill,
and fixtures of the 'house in question should be sold to
the defendant for £3BO, £25 of which was deposited
with the plaintiff, it being arranged 'that he would take
possession of the house on the 27th of the.same month.
He was unable to enter the house on the date mentioned,
and by leave of the defendant the term was extended to
the 19th March. In the meantime an additional £5O
was paid to the defendant. The plaintiff could not
enter the house until the 14th March, but he was then
prevented from taking possession by the defendant.
Before the case had proceeded far enough to go to the
jury it was settled privately.
BREACH OF CONTRACT. —CLARKE V. Bar.,—The
plaintiff in this case was a metal dealer at Manchester, .
and the defendant was a carter in this town. The
plaintiff sought the re-payment of a sum of money which
he had paid the defendant for a quantity of nails alleged
to he brass. Sometime ago the plaintiff purchased the
nails from the defendant, who alleged them to be brass;
it was afterwards found out that they were not such, and
they were returned to the defendant. - The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff, with leave to move in a
superior court.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—LLOYD V. BUTTERWORTH.
111 this case, which was an action for false impriionment,
Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall
for the defendant. It appears that on or about the
24th of April the plaintiff was employed as quarter-
master upon the Armenian, one of the African mail
boats. In the hold of the vessel there were several eases
of Geneva, and the plaintiff, with another quarter-
master, was sent below to Fee that these were not opened
by the Junipers. The defendant, upon lookincr into the

T Daily News, in a- leader, remarks trade,
during the &A week, has been less brisk than of

fate. The dulness referred to extends through

the cotton, *oollen, and irrni &strict& In most
quarters there is still a fair amount of bitsiness
going forward, and labour generally, is pretty
tfelli employed. Trade throughout the kingdom
is cheaed by the doubtful prospects of . the
harvest, as welt as by the state of foreign politics.
PARRICIDE.—On Thursday, Carlisle was startled by
the intelligence that a farmer, narPed David Batey,
about sixty years of age, residing at How Bunks, had
treen killed by 'William Batey, his son, a young man
al'ottt twenty-three or twenty-four years of age. How
Betties is a small farm of some thirty acres, situated
about thrie quarters of a mile from Smithfield, on the
Carlisle and Lotigteiwit toad. It is said that the father
and son had quarrelled in the byre, that the father
threw a milking stool at the son, who, seizing a byre-
rake, inflicted such injuries upon the old man that he
has since died.

Duni or GENERAL WYNDRAM.—The death of this
gallant veteran took place at Cockermouth Castle on
Thrirsday everting bets eett eight and nine o'clock. The
deceased, Sir henry Wyndham, was, we believe, about
seventy year# Or age. he was second son of the third
Earl of Egremont. The deceased (Anent! was one of the
surviving Waterloo veterans. On that memorable field
he distinguished himself by an attempt ivhich, though
unsuccessful, won him high fame. Ho was a held
officer, and, seeing the carriage of Jerome Bonaparte in
the wake of the general retreat, he made a dashing
attempt to capture the Emperor's brother. But Jerome,
it is said, was on the alert, and plunged out by one
dot While young Wyndham opened the other.

As a couple *ere about to be married in Greenfield
on the morning of the fourth, the gentleman left the
house and said he would return it a. moment. Hour
after hoar elapsed and nothing was heard or seen of
him until near night. It was then ascertained that he
had loaned a friend q 26, and that he was leaving for
New York, and the intended husband hearing of the
fact, followed him and got at the depot just as the train
started, and got aboard and followed him. He collected
the money and got off at Northampton, and failing to
find the telegraph operator to send word Co his wife,
returned to Greenfield on foot, and was married imme-
diately after.

ExreosioN CAUSED av A Tnier.—On Friday night
a frightful explosion, arising out of a robbery, took
place at the Crown Tavern, Winchester-terface East,
Caledonian-road, Islington. A man went into the tap-
room, unscrewed the gas fittings, and took them away.
The consequence of this was that the gas escaped
through the crevices of the door, and the bar being
lighted up there was an explosion—the whole of the
front of the house being blown out. Twelve persons,
including the landlord, • were severely burned, having
been blown about in all directions. Two of the suf-
ferers will probably not recover. The police have not,
succeeded in apprehending the thief.
AN AMERICAN REDAN.—A correspoedent writing
from Westpoint, says :—" Col. Delafield has within the
past year caused the old Fort Clinton, which stood on
what is now the plateau at the Point, to be reconstructed
on its original tracing. The order-book of Washington,
which is in the possession of Prof. Weir, contains the
Instructions according to which the fort was built by
Kosciusko, and these have been faithfully followed for a
second time ; and, strange to say the semblance between
the Fort Clinton constructed in the time of our revolu-
tion and , the Redan at Sebastopol, amounts to almost
exactness. The parapet of the Redan was IS inches
higher, but no other material difference can be remarked.
This singular circumstance indicates how little progress
in the art of fortification has been made in the last
three-quarters of a century ; since the most important
and most famous fort of this day—that which so long
withstood the combined attacks of two of the finest
armies in the' world—presents no improvement an the
plan of one built• in the time of the" Aniefican revolu-
tion.".
