Mr. DAVI* said that seeing the champs of the Im-
provement sommittee (Mr. T. H. Hall) in his pleat, he
wished to ask him • question which concerned the
character of the corporation, cad of that court in particular.
He would not mention any names. Two years since
the court had most munificently voted a ass amounting to
nearly 50,0601. for the purpose of erecting model lodging
boosts and washbouses for the benelt sad comfort of the
poor of the City, and he found it stated in the evidence of •
gentleman before the commission new sitting, that not a
single (mating had been laid out by the Improvement Com•
mimes for the purpose in question. (Hear, hear.) Not •
stoat of say building had yet been laid, as he was informed,
and as a considerable time had elapsed since the steamy was
voted, he wis►ed to know whet the facts of the ease really
wen,

Mr. Youno thought it excessively inconvenient that
questions of this description should be put, as they injured
cad prejudiced the court very much in the eyes of the
public. He advised the court to wait calmly and quietly
till the termination of the inquiry before the commissioners,
when there would be ample opportunities for explanation.
Deputy BSDFOJID—I think the question a very proper
one to be answered. (Loud cries of " No, no.")
The LOBID XATOR—Any member of the court has a
right to pat a question. Whether the chairman of the
committee is empowered to answer it without the consent
of that committee must remain for himself to determine.
It is in theproviuce of Mr. Hall eithu to answer it or to
decline. (Hear, Mu.)
Mr. Hsu, said be had urn every occasion been ex-
tremely ready to answer every question connected with the
duties of the Improvement Committee, and only hesitated
now from the fear that if a reply were given to one ques-
tion, some member would rise and try to get out something
else, not only in reference to the sets of the Improvement
Committee, but of every committee of the corporation,
arising from observations made in another place ; in point
of fact, it would be getting out irregularly and in detail
that which had better be brought forward in a proper man-
nes Messner. He put himself is the heads of the court,
sad meold answer the qaestion if they desired him to do so.
(Cdm el "No, no.")
1 Deputy Coaxes moved that the must proceed to the
anisses of the day. The motion was seconded and carried
SIMI unanimously.
Ms. Davis said he bad always been under the impression
theta member was entitled to ask a question at any time—
*eke se o'No, no")—and was perfectly astonished at the
INollat Is which it had been dealt with. (Cries of " Sit
dam: and great confusion.)
Degrety Consist rose to order. The court had particular
beim to transact, and the question of lit. Davis was no
girt of it (Hear, hear.)
Kr. Davis again rose, sad unsuccessfully attempted to
