of that contract. They had employed Jones occa-

connexion with the transaction.

Mr. Atiut.rtius called several witnesses who gaVe

stilted. that he was in the luibit of going to his
brother's house in the morning horn half-past six,

brought cans.
Sarah Higgs. servant to the elder IVarner, swore
that ►he had been in his s►rvice four years and
a-half. She never saw Jones at the hour, nor had
she ever paid him any money, nor saw her master
pay him all. Sbe swore positively that the boy
aIietHMIOSO had used to her the words which oil his
cross-examination be denied ever having used. lie
spoke them on the Saturday after her master was
taken up.
Cows-examined by Mr. ALLeT—She did not
sleep its the Now. It was about ten o'clock in the
forruoou when the boy used the words. She had
never ttpukrob to the boy before. The words he
'used were. " I shall make haste and get my work
done. awl I shell be there (at Bow-street), and I'll
speak a d--d good word for your master."
About twelve o'clock, as she was cleaniug the steps,

a small party of the Nlountrath yec.ritanry.
On the death of Mr. Laurence, Dalton eloped.
and had only returned about three hours before his
•pprehension, to his mother's house, where he was
found concealed in the most artful manner.
Major. General Sir John Lambert, K.C. B. with

for embarkation this month, are to remain in Ire-
land till further orders, notwithstanding transports
having arrived for the former at Cove, and fur the
latter at Waterford.
The conduct of the officers and men of the 40th
regiment whilst amongst us, merited the esteem and
respect of all the inhabitants. We may congratulate
ourselves in having a regiment of such distinguished
character as the 93d sent to our town to replace the
40th.—( Ennis C'Aronicle.)
ENNIS, OCTOBER 25.
We find that the Limerick Chronicle of yesterday
adverts to the statement it published a few days since,
of four soldiers oldie 40th regiment being deprived
of their arms, on their march from E to Kil-
rnsh. and nsserts, notwithstanding the contradic-
tion we published, which it replies to as coming
from a Dublin Paper, that it is perfectly correct.
We must stain beg leave to say, it is uut perfectly
correct. The circumstances relating to tins outrage
were known to us many days ago, and not caring to
record the irregularity of a few soldiers of this re-
spectable regiment, we did not notice them. It
appears now to be necessary. and we must, however
loath, state the facts as they occurred : —The men
were on their return here from Kilcredane battery,
(and not proceeding hence to Dona* as the
Limerick Paper states,) from which place they
were removed for misconduct, to their regiment;
they drank rather freely in Kilrusb, and left it at
three o'clock in the evening for this town, in a state
of intoxication ; they stopt a few miles oft' to com-
fort themselves with another drop, where they de-
clared " they were too hot, and they would go
into the fields to cool themselves." They left the
house, and came into this town without even a
vestige of their accoutrements ; and it is only sur-
prising to us that they had on their trousers.
They did not assert that they were taken from
them. for the truth is, they were so drunk
they could not tell how they came into the town.
A paper cannot be too cautious of inserting a
statement of this nature, which has a tendency to
proclaim that portion of a peaceable county, where
it is said to occur, iii a state of disturbance, and
which, if it did take place as was represented,
would be known and published by a newspaper
printed in the county ; but when an over anxiety to
have the earliest intelligence exist, many errors of a
like kind most appear.—(Clare Journal

!Valises Chadwell Milne, Esq. culled in and ermnined.
How long have you beer engineer to the New Itiver (um.
patty !—About ten yeses.
You here not corona, previous to the year 1910
I acted under my father ; my tallier was then engiuver.
Are you the priocipat engineer !—Yes, t sin.
Have you ally reeved, or any aveittee sistement of the
quantity of water supplied by the New River Company pre.
shots to the year 1810 !—Roppasi-ig that I might be asked
fur that. I collected what documents were in my possession,
anti I have made • statement of it, or nearly Ito.
This confides it to • time previously to the year 1810'—
Yes.
And relates widely to the supply of water?—Yea, to the
west cud of the tows. ; I caouot distiogaish correctly as to
the parishes, bat this relates to the whole of Mary-le.bune,
part of gobs, and part of St. George's, Ilsituirer•tinase.
It does rot therefore comprehend the whole of the supply
at that time ?—The whole of the poorly to Maey•le-buste,
part to Soho, and part to St. George's, Hsnover-sqoare.
The object of this Committee's inquiry comprehends the
whole metropolis: you were then entitled to supply the
whole of the Metropolis: the Committee wish to know what
was the amount of your whole supply ?—F all estimate
taken in 1811, the quantity of water furnished by the New
River Compasly, to the whole of, Loudon was 214,000 'tugs.
betide • day.
In that estintsio *kat pert of the town was comprehend.
ed whole of the fowl, ; that was the quantity of wa-
ter delivered by the New River into the reservoirs at the New
River head.
Now specify the parts of the town under the other head?
—The only distinction I can make of the quantity supplied,
is by the quantity raised by the stesin.etigine to supply the
west end of the turns.
When were those steam engines erected?-1 go hack as
far as 1767; I believe the that might have been thirty years
before that ; in the first inststice it was • wind-mill, it was
then coaverted into a hurse.esigioe, sad after that nibs a
steasn.sogiae.
When was it converted into • steam-eagine ?-1 Jo sot
know ' • it was before Mr. Snseaton's time, In 1767 there
were toter mains plenum to the west cud of the town; oar
called the Sabo Main, soother the Grosvenor Main, the third
the Oxford Main, and the fourth the Portland-road Main.
The Soho main was ',hoed 91 hours a week, the Grosvenor
main 24 hours, the Oxford-road main 15, aud the Portland.
road main 6 boors, mskiag 66 hours per week of • seven
holies main, with a heed of 34 feet pressure upon it. In
1768 the number of hours were isteerssed to 117 per week.
From 66 hours they were increased to 117 ?—Yee.
In relative proportions ?—I can give the proportions : is
1773 it asoinuoted to 160 hours ; is 1780, 229 hours and a
half; in 1787, 301. About the year 1787 Messrs. Bolton
and Watt bad • patent for au improved steam cesium, and
they agreed with the New River Company to pat one up,
being allowed a profit on the coals; they employed a persoa
to take down in a book the time of workiug the engine, and
from that book I have the time of its working very steely
up to 1810 ; there are three years sot made out.
Do you consider that the first steam entitle ?—Nis ; but it
was the first upon which am wettest was kept, which was
done by Bolton mad Watt's man as* check evilest the Com-
pany. In the Ono two yean, 1787 and 1791, the quantity
of water is 4,900,060 hogsheads; those two years are rather
more than the following year, from this circumstance; •
water wheel was erected in 149, which threw up about as
much wider as supplied Islington, but is dee Mat two years
Islington was sopplied from the Waft cagier, and after this
Period I Madder the whole of this water to go to the west
end: this is the exact astailiter of hogsheads raised; each
motion of the engine Is registered, sad each motion pro•
daces • given quantity of water; is the first year it amounted
to 4,940,243 bopbea
Including Islington?—Yes; the supply of Mary-le bone
has increased gradually, up to 11116, in 10,01)0,000; in
1789, 1,789,019 were supplied to Mary-le-Wise ;
that 1 conceive is I whole of the water that weal to the
west.
In the two years after the erection of Mr. Dolton 's steam-
cagier the whole amount of water *applied amounted to
4,940,243 hogsheads ?—That is the first year only, 1787 ; in
1788, 4,041,952.
That embraced the whole of Loadon ?—The whole from
the upper reservoir.
I'roreed with your statement from 1788 ?—la 1709,
1,678,019; the whole of that water went westward, I should
conceive, nut including !shown.
And so you go on regularly till what time?—Till 1810;
in 1810 it was 10,035,664 bugaboos's, of 64 gallous, is. a
year.
That included what part of the town !—M supplied the
whole of Mary-le-bone, part of Soho, part of St. George's

Fattens of Loudon. In the early pact of the ergo of .14..*
the rind, the Corporation of ',notion took, by an Arl
Parbanteat, power. fur etenstroutting a trench, which is now
called the New River. The Lewin.. Bridge works having
succeeded in supplying a part of the City with an silequatt
quantity of water, the Corparation he gam to think stun! et

they aseiguml the it property to Sir Hugh Whlrtion, n:.„
umbritoule to complete the work at his own cost, 'spun con-

Will you mate how far, in your opinion, the old WAIL
works Companies accomplished the public purpose. fut,
which they were instituted, and what are the thlicts t•

which you have alluded in the present bymtem of supply !
The defects to which I have alluded are all involved in sits
fact, that the supply is vested in the hauls of trailing
joint stock companies; now the supply of a large &mu
with water commit be maiutilated, I conceive, te a trade it
grain or oilier commodities. Water must be erinsidered as
one of the elements laces... Dry to existence, the sa light
and air, situ not merely as au article of sishaisltruce like
corn, nor of convenience like coal ; and therefore its arty.
filial supply to a pert city ought out to be the riubjeci of
free trade, our of any kind of trade; the supply ought net
to be limited to the ordinary wants of domestic coneemp-
tiou, nor ought that consuniptioa to be kept down by the
artificial checks which a high price to be paid fur it, or say
price to be paid fur it, by the poor and nerdy, would pro-
duce; but, en the contrary, the ,apply should be profuse,
rather than merely sufficitut, and gratuitous to the poor.
The costs of the wirelsrequired tra provide the supply, sett
the expeuses attending the delivery of it, should be defrayed
out of a local revenue, in the same manner as she expeuses
of the pavemeuls, dream, police, &c. are, raised by an
equitable assessment on the properly of the district ; and

imitate ; and boo the corastroolua of the aspedoets,
public fountains, mid public bolts at the public ampere;
nor has • different system obtained in modern times is aoy
great city or tow., except iu the Limited Kingdom. That
our practice is not in this respect as improvement ea lie
ipemicipsl policy of other countries, will sot, I Shish, be
oiestioned by nay reflecting perms. The salutary privets/lir
of the system I have attempted to explain was first broken
in upon by the assigerneut is Sir Hugh Myddelteu of the
privileges granted to the C.'orporattou of Loudon, aod
afterwards in the establishment of a succession of julat
stock companies for the supply of water. If the supply of
water had been placed, as it ought le have bets, under the
exclusive management of indeprodeut local public hutted& tor
Commissioners, in the same manor as the Newer, pave_
siren, die, of the metropolis are accomplished, it would set
have been orcermary or expedite* to Oleo the expose of
two concurrent sets of works, because the eatiefaction of
the public wants and couvesienee might have been folly
pros ided for by a "single establishment on ea adequate oak ;
while the inhabitants would have had the best severity that
no
higher rates would be imposed on them than wooer-.
toiled to discharge the necessary expenses of the works, fed
therefore that they received the accommodation it the lower'
possible charge. Nut so while the supply and the charge
ere left at the discretion of trading companies; the first and
sole principle to be observed in the administration of the
affairs of such establishments, must be the realisation of
profits; and to accomplish that object, it will be the we-
slams study of the Directors to reduce their coma expenses
and to i rrrrr se their revenue by every memo within there
power; to limit and reduce the quantity of water supplied
for a fixed rate; or if not fined, to ewilinuee the rates to be
paid for every given quantity of water. Upon the principle
I has. slated of its being a local charge to the use use, it
would be a charge regulated accordisig to the property; in
the Cite of a trading corupauy, it must be a charge oat the
quest y. The New River Company, however, did out follow
that principle of charge, but looked also to the convoience
.(Boded to the property which was supplied with the water;
awl the rates which were existing in Hilo, were rates witless-
ed, mot merely with a view to the quautity of eater co-
sseted in that pa/titular district ur street, Let to the cha-
racter of the property ; and those rates had growls up during
a lung series of years, mutually acquiesced to by the public.
