it then becomes my duty as chairman to set sack MOM
right before the public, after which I will leave the
discussion of the question to take its natural comes
That being iso, 1 will in a few words draw the attention of
the board to that part of a statement made in one of the
journals that this nerd has recklessly proceeded to barred
nieney and charge it on the rates, and that, in fact, we
are on the very verge of bankruptcy. Now, I feel stare
that this statement must have as much sumrSed the moms
bers of the board as it did me when I read it. The Me-
tropolitao Board of Works have unlimited powers to tan
the ratepayers for the of carrying out the duties
imposed upon us by the =titan Act, tend therefore, m
our powers are unlimitsch I may say that they are only
limited by the capacity of the rates of the metropolis to
discharge their liability. You are all aware that when
this board was constituted it did not enjoy the adman-
*ages usually enjoyed by municipal bodies—of her*
large funds and estates with which to carry out our duty
to the public; but we began with • debt of half-a-
million of money. That was cast upon us by set of
parliament, which not only imposed upon us the duties,
but the liabilities of our predecessors. The gird large
matter connected with the transactions of the board, as
you are all aware, was that of the main drainage of the
metropolis. To carry out the main drainage. the board
borrowed 4,200,0001., and of that amount we have repaid
1,030.049/., leaving a liability of 3,170,000% in respect
to the main drainage of the metropolis, the
whole of which will be liquidated out of the
threepenny rate in the pound, which was speilally
Merged by parliament to carry oat these im-
provements. The date of the threepenny rate was
extended to 1593, but having regard to the incresseof the
rateable property in the metropolis, the liability will be
do barged long before that time. That 4,200,000/. was
tweeted by the government guarantee. Tho next heavy
item of expenditure is for the purpose of the Thames Em-
bankment and the new street to the Mansion-house, with
its several approaches. For the purposes of the l'hames
Embankment kuorth and south) and the new street to the
Mansion-house, 3,3110.0001. will have been borrowed by
the lst of Jannam next, but that sum will not be borrowed
n the security of the rates of the metropolis, but on that
of the coal and wine donee, which are now extended to
1555; and. therefore, all them sums are covered by a
government guarantee. Therefore with this sum of
3.380001. the public rates bare nothing whatever to do,
but will be charged on separate securities. Of this
48t.( 901. has been repaid by her Majoty's Treasury out
of the coal and wine dues, and it is couadently anti-
dieted tl.at the balance, 2,900,0001.'
s together with
the sum authorised to be borrowed under the Amend-
me Act, will be paid off out of these dues by
lstrs. Ou account of the Fire Brig•le a loan of 30.0311.
Las been contracted for sites and buildings for stations,
engines, and structural works. which are to be carried out
by a rate not exceeding one halfpenny in the pound on the
rateable property of the metropolis. Thy outstanding
liabilities on the general rates amount to 1,264,5761., to-
wards which 103.0001. has been invested in New Three
per Cents., and a large sum will be provided
for the same purpose by the sale of ground rents
in Southwark-street and Garrick-street. The interest pay-
able during 1869 will be 54,114/. 10c, or O.BIM. in the
pound on the rateable value. A loan of 50,0001. has been
taken to provide for contributions granted for minor im-
provement-, end the interest on that sum is 2,233/. 6a. 7,1.,
or 9.03 d. in the pound. making together 66,347 lir'. 7d.,
or 0.8;:d. in the pound on the rateable value. The
maximum rate levied for general purposes is for pro-
*Aline funds for carrying out the morn drainage, and
although spread ever 40 year, it will be repaid long
before that period arrives ; but of that sum four millions
will not be charged upon the general rates, but upon the
coal dues. The rayment was of comparatively small
amount, not extreding one-third of the annual rental. I
prefer ed to put it in that form so that you may at once
appreciate the charge that is made upon the public rates.
I will suppose that the metropolis is a great estate, the
treed of - which I estimate at sixteen millions, and
if the rent of this estate is mortgaged for four
months, which is equivalent to the rate, I do
not think that it can fairly be urged that
the property has been overcharged, and therefore it is idle
for any one to say that we vein any financial difficulty. I
want, however, now to state what is our difficulty. It is
not a difficulty because we have overcharged the rates,
or have we recklessly contracted loans, but it is our
prospective difficulties, when we consoler the great number
of applications which are constantly being made to us for
necessary improvements of the metropolis. We are better
acquainted with the wants of the people than any private
individuals can be. and we have received the most pres-
sing applications to undertake the improvements of Lud-
gate-Lill. Great Tower-street, and for some near the West
India Docks and Wapping. There improvements have
been pressed upon our attention with many others
of a local character, which we are unable
to carry out, but which should not be much longer de-
layed, whether it is by this board or some other board
that might be charged with that duty We have to feel
the neglect of former yearn, and as that neglect is crowded
into the present requirements of the metropolis,
it necemitates an amount of taxation which
tie board finds it very difficult to raise, in-
asmuch as our taring powers are limited to the
5, rm of sewer rates. Ihe burdens which ought fairly to
be borne by the owners of the property are now charged
upon the occupiers of it, and there lies our difficulty;
unless there is some re-adjustment of taxation to enable us
to overcome the difficulty of meeting the requirements of
the metropolis Our difficulty is not as regards the peat,
but is pros^the as to what must be done in the metro-
polis by this board or some other, which will continue
until parliament shall take up the question of the re-
adjustment of taxation, so that the burden shall not fall
replan the occupiers but upon the owners of the property.
That is a matter which the board has from time to time
discussed, and my only object in making these remarks is
to destroy the impression that the rates are overcharged,
or, in the language of the journals I have referred to,
that this board is in the last stage of financial difficulties,
and that we are unable to proceed with the ordinary die-
Marge of our duties.
Mr. Sasw willed to ask a question. In the return
made to parliament on the motion of Colonel Sykes, and
which was presented to the House of Commons on the
29th of November, 1867, the total debt of this board was
dated at 6,513,266/. ; but in the printed report issued by
this board of the accounts and works during the past
year, at page 65, the total debts of the board at the pre-
sent time were set down at 6,903,3661., being a difference
of 1,390,6794
The Casimir; said the report only spoke of the trans-
actions of the board up to March, and no doubt that
would account for the difference.
hfr. Riensaneow said at the present time the rates
pressed very heavily indeed on the ratepayers, and he
deprecated that the board should, in an evil day, have
brought in a bill for the purpose of taxing the public.
Such bills would be sure to fail, and he thought it was
time that the board should hold their hands in laying out
money for public improvements until there was a re-ad-
indolent of taxation.
The subject then dropped.
The Finance Committee presented their annual estimate
of sums required to be raised by the board for the year
1869, but the consideration of the subject was adjourned.
The board agreed to contribute one-half to the cost of
setting back No. 106, Fenchurch-street, at a cost of
6,2101., and also of Nos. el, 92, 93, 96, and 97, at an esti-
mated cost of 13.2261.
After a long discussion, and the transaction of some
mot tie business, the board adjourned.

mama v. ILUIXO.D.

--- -
This was an astion brought by a. governess the
defendant for • wrongful Memos]. The adomt
pleaded a justifications, the plaintiff having disobeyed his
resaleable orders.
Mr. Hance was conosel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant
Robinson and Mr. Jere, for the defendant.
The plaintiff was the a ter of • death* at Brighton,
and the defendant was a gentkiman of fortune redg in
&Met. The plaintiff, who wee about SS of age,
was engaged to instruct six children is Feenith,
music end drawing, at 261. per annum. On the 12th
September last, plaintiff, in accordance with • premises
arrangement, left for a fortnight's holiday, tom
parents. Defendant then ex
with her services. On the 771.1,8 d however, to her
gent vermin, she received the following letter from
the defendant's wife :—" Dear Miss Fairseem—Mr. Ham-
mond intends to make an alteration with regard to the
education of his children, ss he finds they
_bays gop• back
in their studiee, particularly in their writing We shall
therefore not require so expensive a governess, butt in
consideration of yourself,l lees no time in acquainting
you with Mr. 's immediate dinitioa." By
direction of her father's solicitor plaintiff replied to it,
eapressing her surprise at its extraordinary °entomb, and
claming • quarter's salary. She then meeived • letter
from the defendant, in which he stated he was not aware
of any agreement as to • quarter's notice, but be then
gave her formal notice to leave on the 12th December, and
that, as he declined to pay for services not.f2
she mutt return to her duties within three 4yref,74r he
should consider the engagement at an end. She accord-
ingly returned, and then commenced • series of petty
annoyances towards her ; the children treated her
with disrespect ; she was denied the use of the piano,
and her usual half-holiday was withheld. On the 24th
October the defendant came to her in a great passion, and
ordered her to leave within an hour, or be would have her
turned out by • policeman. That was on the Saturday.
She, however, acted to be allowed to remain until Mon-
day, as her father was away from Brirebtoe. Defendant
refuted, and sent for a policeman. He then took the
policeman to her bedroom, and desired him to remove her
from the house. She was dressing at the time, and after
remaining there • short time the policeman hurried her,
pushed her, said she had been long enough dressing and
ordered her to walk down stain before Wm. She did so,
and on getting to the door eke found an open carnage
waiting, into which she was put, and was driven six miles
in a pelting rain to the station.
The plaintiff was called. and deposed to the above Meta.
Crow-examined by Mr. Serjeant Robinuen-She never
acted disrespectfully to the family. She told defendant
the should remain until Match, acting under advice. She
Wined to take the children out for a walk one Saturday.
because it was her holiday. She denied that she had
ever interfered with the sensate. On one occasion she
informed the defendant that if he continued his ill-treat-
mint it would end in a law-suit. Defendant mid • young
lady dared not do so. She replied that her sitar hail been
successful in one, and that it cost the gentleman a large
sum of money. Defendant replied, " 13y —if you do,
I'll mate you smart for it."
For the defence Mee. Hammond was called. She stated
that the and her husband hail cause to feel disetietied
with the progress the children were making in their
studies. The eldest was 16 years of age. On one oc.a.
non, after the plaintiff returned, she asked her to desist
ft om playing on the piano, when she said she refused to
take an order from witness. She said before the
children that the (witness) was no lady, and the ser-
vants had complained of the plaintiff's interference with
them. Plaintiff behaved rudely to witness. On one
Saturday she slipped of, and the children's studies were
neglected. Mr.- Hammond remonstrated with her, and
told her that if she did not attend to her duties he must
dismiss her ' • upon which she replied. that if she was not
properly treated she would bring an action against him.
On Saturday. 24th October, plaintiff declined to take the
children out for a walk, upon which defendant said he
would dismal' her at once. She claimed • quarter's
salary, and said she would not leave until she was turned
out of the house.
Crewezamined—Plaintiff was never to leave the
children, not even for • walk. She was to be with them
till 8 o'clock at night on Saturdays. When plaintiff
asked for an hour or so, she would give it to her. When
the left in September witness first expressed her dis-
satisfaction with the plaintiff. She told the servants not
to obey her (witness's) orders.
The defendant deposed that on the 24th October plain-
tiff was very violent, and told him that as sure as her
name was Hammond. she would make him pay by law.
She refused to take the children out for • walk. She
said his wife was no lady, and that she would not trust
her with her letters.. On the 2ith she refused to take out
the children. It was raining hard, and he told her
she must leave. She refused to go unless she was paid
up to March. She refused to take the money up to that
day or leave, and he sent for a policeman.
Cross-examined—Plaintiff was very violent, but he was
very cool. She claimed to have a half -holiday on Satur-
days, but he considered she ought not to have any re-
laxation without first asking permission. He was rather
in fear of the plaintiff, and ho called in a policeman to
endeavour to persuade her to leave the house quietly.
She told him she did not know where to go, as her parents
were then in France.

The policeman was called, and he deposed that he was
frequently sent for on similar occasions; he was not sent
for to forcibly put the plaintiff out, but only to persuade
her to leave quietly.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff
—damages 13/. gs.

The learned judge certified it was a proper ease to be
tried in a kuperior court.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-DEC. 18.

SECOND COURT.

Sittings at Nisi Pries in London.—(Before Mr. Justice
Smith and a Common Jury.)

GENT r. OLVINIE AND RAZ.

This case was brought to a conclusion yesterday. The
following continues the proceedings from the point where
our report broke off yesterday:
Edward Sellers, an attendant at Dr. Armstrong's asy-
lum, stated that he went with George Powell to fetch the
plaintiff to the asylum. He himself put on the handcuffs,
and he did so because he heard that the plaintiff had fire-
arms about him. Rae, the second defendant, did nothing
to the plaintiff ; he simply lent the handcuffs, and took
Mrs. Harris out of the room when she bad fastened on to
witness's whiskers. In the asylum the plaintiff used to
swear most awfully, and on one occasion he knocked •
patient down.
Dr. Henry Armstrong said that whin the plaintiff
arrived at the asylnm he examined him, and found that
he was suffering under delusions and had great for of
memory. He lost the thread of the subject on which he
was spaildng, and then endeavoured unsuaxasfully to
pick it up. Witness came to the conclusion that the
plaintiff was a pawn of unsound mind, and unfit to be at
large. He was discharged aa soon as he could be safely
at large.
Mr. Justice Smith, in summing up, said that it was no
doubt of great importance that persons should not be
improperly confined in lunatic asylums ; but it was also
most important that persona of diseased mind should not
be left at large, and it was often a most distress-
ing thing for a family to have to consider whether
what might at one time have been only weakness or
imbecility had degenerated into dangerous phrenzy. He
indeed knew of no circumstances under which it would be
more difficult and distressing for a family to come to a
decision. If a man were confined as a lunatic when be
was merely foolish, eccentric, or wicked, there would be
no justification for confining him ; but if be were in that
state that he was dangerous to himself or others, then
it would be the duty of the family to take steps to prevent
mischief. It was the duty of the jury to decide this case
upon the evidence, applying it to the principles of law as
laid down by him, and he directed that it was plain that
in law there would be no justification for placing this
gentleman in a lunatic asylum unless ho was at the
time in an unsound state of mind, unless he
was suffering from disease or disorder of the brain which
so deprived him of the use of his reason that it became
dangerous for him to be at large. It would not be
sufficient that a man had been cruel to his family, nor
that he bad been eccentric, nor that he hail shown strong
passion under circumstances in which other men would
have shown only a slight degree of irritation. To justify
the defendants, the jury must be satisfied that the plaintiff
was at the time when he was sent to the lunatic asylum
in such a state of mind that reason had left its throne,
and that be was unable, in consequence of that state of
his mind, to control his actions. _

The jury, after considering the matter for a few
minutes, found a verdict for the defulidants.

Some win:cases were then examined who went to the

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEme, DEC. lq.
(Before Mr. Justice Brett.)
John Rerler, 44. labourer, was charged with the arson of
seven decks of wheat, two of barley, one of oats, one of
hay, and two of straw, the property of John Lee, at
Thorns, on the Bth of September last.
Mr. Vernon Blackburn and Mr. Tennant appeared for
the prosecution ; Mr. Campbell Foster (at the request of
the judge) kindly undertook the prisoner's defence.
Mr. Lee, the prosecutor, occupies Elm Rouse Farm. at
Thorne, near Doncaster, and it consists of 340 acres.
The prisoner bad, at the time the stacks were fired, been
almost twelve months employed at Elm Farm, and he had
been engaged on the condition that by way of remunera-
tion he shonld have a house and garden rent free, fifteen
shillings a week, and fifteen stones of bacon a year.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Judge said ho must make a terrible example in this
care, and sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' penal servi-
tude.
