The bill was ultimately read a third time and passed.
Petitions were presented from Chatham in favour of
the bill for preventing the sale of beer on Sunday ; from
three towns in Derbyshire, and other places, complain-
ing of taxing lead miners for poor rates, against the

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill ; the
reserved clauses were 11ken first.

On clause 36, relative to the salary of the chairman
of the board,

Lord SEYMOUR was of opinion it would be better
to pay the chairman of the board a fixed salary. There
should be a properly constituted court of appeal in cases
of disputed rating.
Lord EBRINGTON concurred in opinion with the
noble lord the member for To tnes.
Captain DUNCOMBE considered all the members of
the board should be paid. That could be done at
an expense of 5,0001. per annum, equal to s rating of
about one-tenth of a penny in the pound.
Sir B. HALL suggested that the house should decide
first on the amount of salary to be paid to the chairman
of the board, and after that the number to constitute the
beard, and whether or not they should be paid, when he
would prepare a clause to effect that object.
Mr. HENLEY thought the more the committee en-
tered into the consideration of the bill the more the
difficulties thickened. He was afraid they were about
to constitute a board eminently deliberative, but with
very little executive powers.
