A memorial was read from Mr. Farmer, Boundary-lane,
West Derby, praying to be exempted from paying the rates
for the borough, he being rated for the parish of West
Derby as well.
Mr. CROSTHWAITE said he knew of a similar instance, or

one which was much worse, as the parties in the instance
he referred to had been obliged to pay the rates, and were
two orphans. He thought it a very hard case when the
boundary line happened to pass through the yerd, and the
house was in the rural district, that the owner should be
sued for the rates by the borough and the pax
same time

Mr. BECKWITH moved that it be refeired to the sub-
committee, that they might go into the matter fully.
Mr. ANTHONY said, when he was one of the Highway
Committee of West Derby, there was an agreement coipe to
that the parish was to send some parties to meet others from

the borough, and have the whole question set

Mr. GLADSTONE asked the Town-clerk if; when the
divisional line bisects the premises of a person, it would be
legal to divide the rates.
The TOWN-CLERK replied that it would be a very difficult
question to decide ; but it was quite Manifest, if the matter
were taken up by the sub-committee for investigation, it
would result in something. . : :

After some discussion as to what committee the matter
should be referred to, it was finally agreed to refer it to the
rating sub-committee.
Mr. NEWLANDS, borough engineer, submitted
which he had prepared, at the suggestion of Mr. Gladstom
for improving the names of the leading streets, such as
Water-street, eading to George's Dock; &c. The plan was
adopted.

deputation from a number of the inhabitants of the
north end of the town was introduced, they having
to complain of damage done to their goods and
premises by the heavy rain which fell on last Sabbath.
The committee resolved that their officers should enquire
into the whole facts of *the case, in conjunction with
any one, whom the
.deputation should appoint, After the

facts had been ascertained, they would deU with the matter
in all fairness; but until that enquiry had been made, the
committee did not know whether the corporation was liable
or not, and they could do nothing.
This ended the business.

This board met yesterday, in the Public-offices, Park-

present Messrs. S. Siddeley, M. A. Johns, Wm. Leyland,
Wm. Baynes, John Moss, G. W. Hunter, A. Miller, W
H. Ogden, John Wilson, and J. D. Carter.
The report of the Governor of the West Derby '-
house showed that there were in that esti,-

responding week last year, 356. Cheques were g
the relief of the poor to the amount of £lOO.

Mr. Cr.eAvEninformed the lioard that there was a blinC
boy at the door, who had complained that he had made ap•

plkation to Mr. Heath, relieving officer, for an order that
had been granted by the board the previous week, and that
he had refused to give it untii yesterday.
Mr. Moss complained of the hard-heartednes
Heath, and said that the complaints against him were ver
general.
Mr. CLEAVER said, in that case, the boy complained very
much of the' treatment he had received

of Mr

The boy, Whose name was John Herity, was then called
in, anti he stated that he had got an order from the board
on Thursday last, and on Friday he applied to Mr. Heath,
when he told him to go and fetch his fiddle, and that he'
was well able.to make a living for limself.
The boy withdrew ; and after some further observations
from several members of the board, Mr. Moss moved
" That John Herity, a pauper, for whose admission into the
workhouse an order was given at the last meeting, having
made a complaint that he had, on three occasions, applied
to Mr. Heath for such order, who refused to give the same,
and that the pauper having received the same only yester-
day, such conduct on the part of Mr. Heath is enserving
the severest censure of this board."

Mr. BAYNES seconded the motion, which, on being put
to the vote, was lost by a majority of 1.
The CHAIRMAN stated that, at a meeting of the Building
and Visiting Committee, a question arose as to the number
of inmates that they meant to provide for in the new work-
house. He had been looking through the books, and he
found that in the first two weeks of January, this year, they
had in the workhouse, including the hospital, 450. One
week there were 453.
Mr. Moss.--There are now only 314.

Yes, but the-number is still less in the

Mr. JonNs moved that they should provide for 500.
Mr. Moss asked if they
.would advertise for the neces-
sary articles to make provision for the 600 inmates.
The CHAIRMAN said they undoubtedly should. They
had desired Mr. Holmes, the governor, to send them samples
of what he would recommend.

Mr. Moss seconded Mr. Johns' motion, and said he
thought it would be very important to take into considera-
tion what would be the best material to stuff the beds with.
He :knew that in out-going steamers to Australia, with
passengers, the beds were stuffed with cork shavings.
The CHAIRMAN said that would be an after-considera-
tion ; but as that was not before the board, it could not be
entertained.
They then separated.
