The petitioners were called to the bar of the court, and
one of them, Mr. Meer* *butcher in Leadenhall-market,
stated, in reply to questions, that thousands of persons
bought their joints at that market, and took them away
in beards by omnibus. About fourteen of the butchers
bid gone to the new market, and only two or three were
left. Eome of those who had gone, he believed, would
return to-morrow. (Laughter.) He was of opinion that
the public at large who had been in the habit of frequent-

Mr. JOHN RICHARDSON—WouId the centridibation of the

Mr. MORRIS, in reply, said they sometimes did so.
The petit ooers then withdrew from the bar, and Mr.
Tricker proceeded to move the following resolution, of
which he had given notice :—" That until in the wisdom
of parliament it is decided that the meat and poultry
market at Leadenhall dell be dimmdteted, and the cor-
panties has IMITIMI • suitable media in its dead, it be
an inetrustioa to the Markets Committee and the City
Leads Cammitte, immediately to mkt in the usual
manner any preenmes in the mid NAs#,S that way from
time to time become vacant, or that 11111 w cease to be used
by thejpresent tenants for the We of meat and poultry."
Mr. Rpm seconded the motif:

Mr. LOMAX TAYLOR would more as an amend-

diately to offer to ralet in the anal manner, for the sale
of poulby and game, any premises in the said market
that may bm time to timeheoome vacant."
Mr. Learn seconded the amewbeent.

marked that the riarbet held act_been that by the Court
of Common Comma Ilse new market was intended for
the whole metropolis. He was not in *mar of numerous
markets. He could not name a dome that had failed.
He believed in ewe wholesale market se a centre of attrac-
tion both for buyer sad seller. It was said that Leaden-
hall would now be a retail market. He saw no reason
why it should not be so.
In reply to Mr. Luna,
Mr. Roman said the Markets Committee had received
no communication from any truant in Leadiseu.n
