Mr. TYIiIIELL, the sol.citer to the comx.ipsioners' at-
tended with the opinion of the Attorney-General, which. he
said, he had taken in pursuance of the directions of the curt,
and wish the draft deed which he had prepared, to carry oct
the re. lotions of Dec. 2. Before, however, he reported
up.in these document.., he considered it to be his duty to in.
fora the court 'hut he had obtained a copy of the bill of the
Great Central Gas Cisetsumers Company, lodged by the coal-
piny previously to the meeting of parliament; and that by
saes bi.s the company would, in tact, not only be uca!-..3
to lay their pipes in the City, but be actually pre-
vented from supplying the inhabitants wi h gas. He did rot
know how .o account for such an extraordinary circutiostar.ce,
but so it was. It wu not possible to regard it as the inten-
tion of the company, and yet it was difficult to oiler any ex-
planation of the emission. He would therefore suggest the
p:oorie of entering upon the subject of the deed.
Mr. Deputy R&M:L[I3ON said the court had nothiret to do
ae present wilt the bill of the C s Gas Company. To that
subject their attention would probably be drawn upon a tutting
occasion. All they had to do at present wee to determines to

The amendment was negatived, and the original sacnioa

The tnion of the Atterne)•General was regarded es
sufficisat to justify the proceeding with the coal& rvion of

which they removed the wire guard rim. ti's beauti•ully

smashing the bottom part of the wiudow containing the
