board of the 18th of May last, granting 8901. to the Com-
missioners of Sewers of the City of London, should be re-
scinded. In support of the proposition, he maintained that
no detailed estimate of the expenditure had been submitted
to the board; that the price of the land to be given up to
the public was exorbitant, being at the rate of 180,000/.
per acre ' • that the alleged public improvements were of •
merely local and private character, and did not come within

Court of Common Council had ordered the alleged improve-
ments according to the sth section of the act ; and that the
4d. tax per ton upon coals, which yielded to the commo-
tion 70,0001. per annum, should defray such alleged im-
