COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A report was brought up from the Iwprovenzente
Committee relative to the several references in re:
spect to the proposed viaduct across Ludgate-Ml.'
which, after referring to the proceedings taken to
the year 1860, in opposition to the company's bills
went on to state that with reference to the present
bill, they had conferred with the company, but had
not succeeded in obtaining the required deviation o°,
as to enable the line of railway to be carried 00'
by means of a tunnel rather than a viaduct. At the
same time while so torming the viaduct, they ha"
expressed every anxiety to improve the accetolne"
modation, and have submitted propositions to the
committee to that effect, to be carried out bY
clauses to be inserted in the bill now before Pans.
meat. The committee had also had under their
consideration the proceedings recently taken by
the Commissioners of Sewers upon the same sub'
jeer, and they bad under the instructions
the court given the necessary directions to the CIII
solicitor, acting as the remembrancer, to oppose the
bill in Parliament, in order to prevent the formation
of the viaduct ; and they bad felt it their duty nude;
the present peculiar circumstances of the case, O
in view of the decision arrived at by the Court of
Sewers agreeing to the propositions of the Wl'
pany, to report the whole circumstances in order
that the court might express an opinion as to the
steps most desirable to be taken by the cotalnirteeci
The proposals of the company were that they
Nvell'l
undertake to make the bridge 60 feet wide instead
of 40, to allow for the improvement of the street,
and to pull down certain houses to the end of Bridge'
street, and Farringdon-street, and also to offer to
the corporation such of the ground as they might
require for the improvement of the street, the price
to be decided between the surveyor of the Ora-
pany and the surveyor of the corporation, and in
the event of their not being able to come to tetrao
another surveyor to be called in whose award shoal('
determine the question. The report added that the
company had that morning offered to make the
bridge 70 feet inetead of 60.
Mr. Deputy FRY, the chairman of the Improve'
rnents Committee, said the committee merely wanted
.„
to receive the instructions of the court as to whether
they were to continue the opposition since the Op;
paLy had made that offer which they had cleaned it
their duty to lay before the court.
Some discussion ensued, and on the motion Gf
Mr. Lusk it was unanimously agreed that the re-
port should be received, and that the committee
should be instructed to continue the opposition.
THE APPoINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER OF poLla°
Mr. LOWMAN TAYLOR asked, for the inforinsti°l3
of the court, whether the town clerk had, in c°°;
fortuity with the fourth section of the Police Act'
transmitted to the Secretary of State for t.Ae
Department copies of the testimonials of the eandi•
dates for the chief. commissionership.
Mr. WOODTHORPE, the town clerk, informed the
court th,,t, pursuant to directions which had been
given him, and under the authority of the act °f
Parliament, he had transmitted on Saturday last'
the nan es, nominations, and testimonials of the
candidates for the office of chief commissioner ef
police, to the Secretary of State, and he bad received
a letter from Mr. Bruce, on behalf of Sir George
Grey, acknowledging the receipt of the same. Mr LOWMAN TAYLOR said the act prescribingtbat
the election should be made at the expiration of 1'
days after the testimonials, &c., had been trans'
witted, and he thought the sooner the matter vise
settled the better. He therefore moved that that
day fortnight should be appointed for the election.
The motion was agreed to, and
The LORD MAYOR informed the court be svn"'„id
have a special court convened for that purpose.
The court then adjourned.
