of the City, as great alarm had been excited in the minds of
the neighbonrs by that the, and indeed rest apprehensions
of danger had been I mg before entertained owing to • general
imprernion which prevailed in the neighbourhood that large
quantities of intlammable materlahi were kept in store on
Mews. Hubbuck's premises. The verdict of the jary
was that the lire was the result of en accident,
but the jury added that ouch material* had been
kept on the promisee in quantities excessive and danger-
ous to Shand property, and that such occuandatiens of dan-
gerous materials might not to he allowed to take place in a
densely-populated district of the City of London. Sweater
the inquest he (Mr. Pearson) had been informed that it wee
net the Internists of Idessra. Hubbuck to rebuild their pre-
mises for tbe purpose of storing blender material*, but haying
last week been indorsed that they had such as intention,

had felt it his deity to ask the neighbours who had before
complained, as well se Mr. Hubbsek, to meet him now, when

prevailed on the subject in the neighbourhood, and in which
they thenoelees Awed, lest rtes-re. Hubbuck should apply
their premises when rebuilt to the some purprne as before.
Mr. Hubbuck acid—l can't give any pledge es to where I
shall keep the virile beyond too, rout I will keep them in
the 'safest place. Tbe only spirits we have kept are rpitim
of turpentine, which were kept in tank*, berme molly sealed,
on the upper part of the building, and, so to lights were
allowed to go near them, combustion woo haposaible ,• but if
they were kept in the vaults, which will be quite dark, lights
most be used. The 'modem so you know, did not wise irom
the tanks, but from the occidental fell of a cook of turpentine,
while in transit from the top to the bottom of the building.
Mr. Pearson—l think it will be the beet plan to adjourn
the proceedings, sod meanwhile to put the City architect in
communication with Mr. Aitcheson.

Mr. Hubbuck—l can have so &patina to that, bat I
cannot make any pledge as to where I shall keep the
turpentine.
Aldermen Cubist—Well, we seem in have petty well ex-
hausted the question now. The Lord Ma3or will now have
all the tots before him, and n will he for him to take any
farther step that he may deem advisable. 1, therefore, leave

keep • document like that printed book, bet in manuscript,
end the vary day after printing it they would again have
something is manuscript, where the entries would be made
from day to day as they occurred. If they have not dens
that they have not acted regularly.

Mr. Jodie, could not bring Mr. @con there a third time.
He had no tight to assume en) thing against Mr. Ikon, who

wet entitled to the same fair play as any other pawn brought

Bowen May mid the act would become a dead letter.
Mr. Jardine raid the act was quite right. It was en n-
eatest act, and well calculated to meet a very great tell, that
unqualified persona were enabled to practise as medical man.
But It bad not been canted out properly by the wansciL The
act wee a new one, and they were not lawyers. As keg as
they did not keep a register the act would be inoperative, not
from any detect in it, but from not being properly carried out.
The summons must be dismissed.
