Mr. "TfAiiiirsoi4 remarked that the ground in . the

went there, he hoped that the same course would be
pursued as was adopted at the Waterloo-bridge Station
of tliti• South-Western Railway in London—and that

The Surveyor's report, in reference to the cost of
tering the Monks' Ferry Hotel, so as to provide
Tommodation for the commissioners, was read. The

nsive of providing work-

The OWUBMAN said the report had beeri before the

thought it advisable to advertise'the preinises to let,'
. Mr. Gouon thought the premises had been advertised
enough. ' • •

Mir. BRADLEY explained that on all former occasions
it bad been advertised to be let for hotel purposes; but
it was now advertised to be let for that or any other
•
purpose. They might get an offer.
The report of the Special Committee for the Con-
solidation of Acts was then read. The report showed
that the committee had resolved that the Law-clerk
should be instructed to prepare the draft of a bill, with
the assistance of counsel, for the Consolidation of Acts.
br. BAYLIS moved that the proceedings be confirmed,
and Mr. Bradley seconded the motion.

BELL S

I; he understood that the committee were
but, instead of that, they

to go into the whole thing

had only a resolution, which ,might-lead- them into an
enormous 'eipelise. He thought, with such. a report,
ihq should not be justified in getting a bill drawn.up.
He moved that the report be referred back. •
• Dr: BAYLts said they were only. going to have -the
draft of tbe bill, and then submit that ‘to the board for
an`• alteiatien- that-might be thought necessary.
Mr.' BELL. said he was aware of. the cost of such a

The CHAIRMAN said he was under the impression
that theie were to. be no expenses. •.
Mr.: BRADLEY observed that the committee could not
move in the matter without expenses.
Mr. WALKpI. said he would second Mr. Bell's amend-
ment. •

Mr. HARRISON thought it was unnecessary to go to
any expense, .as they did not intend to make any. use of
it fpr this year. He thought it would be well to see that
they were able to pay their bondholders
,before any
further expense was incurred. _ _ _

Dr. BAYLIS said, they were bound to go on with it,
in accordance with the resolution passed by the joint
committee of the Improvement and Health Committees.

Mr. WILLOUGHBY observed that there was a matter
which , had been deferred till the 14th instant. The
Monks' Ferry Hotel was to be advertised, and tenders
were to be sent in on the 13th, in order that they might
'tome before the committee on the ,14th„... It would
then be a consideration with 'the Finance Committee,
and, ,if an offer was made for the hotel,
and accepted, then'another consideration was before the
Finance Committee, whether it, would be desirable to
apply to Parliament for a rate to erect a town-hall ?If
the Finance Committee thought it necessary, to take
such steps, it would be well to include the Consolidation
of the Acts, so that they should not have to go twice to
Parliament ; and unless the preparation was made by the
Law-clerk, that could not be included. He believed it
would not cost more if it were made now than at any
future time. If they should be obliged to erect a town-
hall, they should have to go to Parliament for a penny
rate for the purpose, and it was a waste to go twice.
Mr. BRADLEY said, if he had. been rightly informed,
the committee was useless without counsel, and they
had come to that resolution by :the advice of the Law-
clerk. The expenses would be under £lOO. He was
prepared to give time and attention to the matter with
a lawyer.

The CHAIRMAN wished to know, as he thought that
was what had been Mr. Bell's object in moving the
amendment, what the committee proposed to alter.
They might make out such, a draught as might be use-
less, when all'the amendments were made that•might be
found necessary.
Mr. Beazley, Mr. Bell, and several other members,
said that when the committee, was appointed; they did
not think that any expenses were to be incurred.
It was finally agreed that the matter should be
allowed to stand over till after the 14th instant.
Mr. AsPINALL moved that the hour of meeting be
changed from seven o'clock in the evening to half-past
four in the afternoon, as a more convenient time to
transact the business.

• SOme discussion took place on this question, when
Mr. HARituoN moved, as an amendment, •that •the
hour of meeting be nine o'clock in the morning.
The amendment was carried.
This ended the business. • ,
