TILE COMMISSIONERS OPSEIVERS A.vD
.31`ADAM'S PLAN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
Sta.—As Sdmebody (hut I do not presume to point out the Lord
Mayor, or any one of the Commissioners of Sewers in particular as
that person) has made a public question of what is in fact but a
private dispute between the inhabitants of this place, and the l'ity
and I.lllr. Nl•Adam, by sending a report to all the Morning Papers
of the proceedings of a private meeting of the Coiundssioners of
Sewers, held a tee weeks ago, at which Mr. Alderman Ileygrate,
Mr. Clark, and myself attended far the inhabitants of this place, we
think it but fair that the public should be made acquainted with
what has since taken place, in order that they may form a correct
opinion of the conduct of all parties concerned.
In the evening of Friday, the 10th inst. we observed preparat °is
for inclining the atones &posited in Chatham-place, antEby the direc-
tions of the inhabitants, on the 11th, I wrote to Mr. Domne, Clerk to
the CornmissionersofSewers. the annexed letter marked A, and to Mr.
IDAdains the 'mtcxed marked 11, in answer to which last, on the
same evening, I received the annexed from him marked C', and on
Monday morning the annexed from Mr. Donne marked D. On
that day I wrote again to Mr. M'Adam a letter, of which the an.
nexed, marked E, is a copy, and a similar letter ( with the exception
of the first sentence) to Mr. Donne for the Cotumissioners of
Sewers, and inclosed in each a copy of Mr. Gurney's opinion as
annexed, marked F, and subsequently on that day left with Mr.
M'Adam a copy of a second opinion of Mr. Gurney as annexed,
muted G. In addition to Mr. Donne's letter, marked I), I have
received another front him as annexed, marked II ; but no other
counnunicarion has been made to me by the Commissioners of
Sewers. The west side of Chatham-place is now entirely inclosed,
and converted into a parlour's yard. The inhabitants are deter.
mined to try whether or not the Commissioners of Sewers or Mr.
M'Adam have any right thus to act ; but neither of those parties
seem disposed to Meet us fairly, bom which 1 think it may be very
fairly inferred that they are either ashamed or afraid to avow their
acts. And, to prevent any improper impression going abroad as to'
my motives in advising the proceedings which will be adopted, I
think it proper to state, that my professional exertion in this busi-
ness, from grit to last, will be given gratuitously.
I am, WI, yestmost obedient,

Copy, Mr. Gamey's First Opinion. (F)
If the Commissioners of Sewers, or Mr. M'Adam, or the persons
employed by him, unnecessarily obstruct the road, an indictment
for a nuisance may be preferred.
If the comfort and convenience of the inhabitants, with mpeet
to the occupation of their houses, or access to their houses, be un-
necessarily broken in upon, actions may be maintained.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, Sfrr. 23.

There was not any attendance to-dai, the betting men not leaving
yet returned. A very strong muster will take place to wind up the
St. Leger accounts. The payments, however. after the Northern
[lace', are not so large at Tattersalrs as after Sim= or Newmar-
ket Races, the beta being generally settled at the place where de-
eided. After Monday the betting will become interesting on the
I Derby und Oaks, and the different Stokes fur the October Meet-
ings.
ASCOT iitaTU.--A strong muster assembled here on Ttasday.
to see the sweepstakes race between Sam Halton, Badman, and
Askew, three of the fastest in England, the winner to receive 1541
sovereigns. The distance was ten miles over the old milt and back,
and it was done as follows :

It was as 6ne s race us ever was sa•n, and every inch of the ground
was contested. It is more than ten miles. then the rise to the King's
btand is taken into consideration.
