NSW carrxs MAIAIT, 001.113111•0131-PIZIANI.
Mr. Youpo—l wish to ask my friend, the chairman of
the Markets Improvement C3iiinittie (Mr. H. L. Taylor),
is our haportaat question to the graders sad farmers—
musty whether any day bee yet been Ind for the °peeing
of the New Cottle Market ? The publie are very much
alive to the question ; and the truism farmers, and sales-
men in general are quite in the dark upon the subject.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. H. L. Tr:mon—My Lord Mayor, I conceive this
question to be one of importance not only to this court, but
also to the public at large. No doubt informatioo has Imo
abroad that we purposed opening the market on the Mb
of this month. Now it should be understood that the we-
ponders have not tie power of fixing the day for opening
the market. That matter rests exclusively with the noble
lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
(Hear, hear.) We did hope, and yet hope, to be ready for
the opening on the 26th—sufficiently ready for the business
to be carried 00. At the present moment we bare before
the Hume Secretary our roles and regulations, which
have to be perused and sanctioned by his lordship
previous to his determination as to the new mar-
-1 ket ; and it would be well, perhaps, that I rhould
read to the court the rule u in the act of parliament
which gives hie lordship the power of Icing the day. It is
the 10th clause of the act under which we are building the
new market, and it says, " When the commissioners have
provided the market places, slaughter Louses, and conve-
niences hereinbefore authorised to be provided, and fixer,
such table of tolls and payments as aforesaid, and ap-
pointed the market days, and done all other acts which
may appear to them necessary, previously to the opening of
the said market places and slaughter houses, they shall re-
port to one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State
what they have done concerniog the premises, and shall
MINI' to such report &copy of tee table of tolls and pay-
ments fined as aforesaid ; and it shall be lawful for such
Secretary of State to fix a time for the opening of the
said markets and slaughter bowies' and by a notice under
hie head, to be published in the Loisdose Gurgle, to notify'
that such market places and slaughter houses have been
provided, and the time when the same will be opened, and
that from the time so mentioned Smithfield-market is ill re eFe

to be a market for the sale of cattle and horses, and frau and
after he time mentioned in suck Rodeo Smithfield Market
shell ream to be a market for the site cf cattle or horses,
and markets for the male of cattle, horns, and meat shall
be holden in t►e respective places provided under this act,
and each markets shall he deemed to be public markets;
and no new market for the male of cattle or h shall be
opened in the City of London or Westminster, or the liber-
ties thereof, or the borough of Sou hwark, or at any place
distant lees than seven miles In a straight line from St.
Paul's Cathedral, in the City of London." I may take
this opportunity of stating that, looking at the magnitude
of OA task undertaken by the committee, with the assist-
ance of an able and efficient officer, the architect, no work
of equal magnitude has been brought w near its completion,
in the same space of time, se that in which we had em-
barked. (Hear.) I think that the greatest possible credit
is due to the architect for producing such a magnificent
building as the new cattle market, and I hope that the
members of the corporation will themselves take the oppor-
Wilily of inspecting the works as they are progressing,
when I am sum the? will be satisfied, not only thst the com-
mittee have done their duty, but they will be enabled to
form an estimate of the merit belonging to the chief officer
who has been carrying them out. (Hear.)
Mr. YOUNO--Have you done all that is required by the
set?
Mr. U. L. TATz.ort—The rale. aux.l rci”datlosta rum before
the Home Secretary, and he has to appoint the day. We
have not been called to see his lordship upon the subject,
and until we have been we shall not know the day.
Deputy Lorr—Will the chairman of the committee in-
terim the court whet sum the market has cost, in round
numbers, up to this time ?
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—AII I can say Is that at present we
have not spent mon money than has been authorised by
the court I have no doubt that the court will know quite
*non enough when additional money will be required.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Mvannu.—About whet will have been the probable
coat when it is finished ?
Mr. H. L. TrirLoa—That will depend entirely, as my
friend must well know, upon the works carried out. We
may carry them out to any extent, but that will depend en•
tirelyupon the orders of the court. (Hear, hear.)
