sort to ezionsive action.
Mr. BOUCHERZ—What remedy would you suggest,
for no pesos sae doubt that NMs remedy suet be lad.
Mr.NABH—The gentleases whom I mussel think that
the best plan would be to have a parlismasey meisittee
to inquire into the •Inesse, sad Polo' out the remedy.
Mr. LABOLICHERE—It is too Lets in the I us
afraid, to have a pathamestary committee.
Mr. NABS—Tee traders and carries are of opines that
they will sever be properly treated oath you (the Board)
Zra Milk inspectorat the silways, and also that they
be impelled to ions printed IS ci their tolls foe
megfilfrig-
Leni MANVILLE—The companies allege that there is
a dl linty in issuing a printed list of prices fee warp%
goods, sad Ms emnistiesen would theretore be glad to hest
the Maim of the dimities on that point.
Mi. CROUCH saki he mid M see why there should be

H he teak a box or basket, say for Birming-
ham sr Mandesser, sad the clerk forgot whet to da
immediately tarsal to his book.
Mr. HILO= said the only difficulty he saw, was that
the empany did sot sharge two peso= alike • they he.
gay charged the min twice es amok as they charged
theMb esstamer.
. meet ems why there should be $ list of
charges for imagers by train, and not by goods
train; purely is. lea es the other.
Mr. LABOCC The, gentlemen whet you want
is the publiestiss M Mama sin mel &sips by the com-
mis., sad seam simple meekhany by which any defects in
the system my be remelled.
Mr. NABlL—Presisely—tat give power to the county
Mani to adjudicate.
Mr. LABOUCHERIL—Of course that will be ea ob-
vlous!y greet coommee to the public, U it coed be done.
That would leave the existing law u et pressat, with the
receptin that NI extra provision should be introduced, giv-
ing power to the county sou e; for at pressed the emus-
Mee, by their ens, are bound to publish a meek, and charge
all person equally.
Kr. If ABIL—I am afraid we shall never be satisfied until
we have a gownsman goods sepesintend.st et each terminus.
Bir Thom Wilde, at the recent trial et Warwick, pointed
est to the ury that the company would drive ell the curlers
off the lie, end then the public would be left at the mercy
