When did 300 make over the Ilenelly Colliery
to illajur-General Ward ?—I think it was in the
year 1801; 1 hareiot a distinct recollection-of it,
but I cdu motion another usettiug of she Committee
Iwanton, the precise date. I khow that in the year
' ! 1801 a public valid'. had been carried up from the
:•'4 tuvu of Neatls. at least ten or twelve or snore slides
• up the Neaili valley ; I have iso concerts in that co-
, bol, but I can say Massively that such a costal could
not have beau cut and carried sop under some years'
work and at s very. considerable expense; and
though I did not see it previous to the' year
1797, yet !runs aceing it en the year Isoi, I an,
coulideut in nay own wind that at must hate been
cartied up there previon• to the year 1797; I
also, from inapectioa in the same year 1804 saw
that a public canal hail I carried from the town

Civontawe; I did not myself see it higher up thou

heard that it was c wriest to a consideral•le distance
above the place where in 1801 I saw it. This ca-
nal, sip well as the Neatly could, must both have
been made suhsequen to the year 17h6, and pre-
vitro% to 1804 for I was MA 111 the country within
that period, and 1 know they were not made iii
1786, and I know that they were made in ISM, vial

the Ninth canal, I sins contilleut that a very lurge
