Cl2'Y OF LONDON COMMISSION.

The royal commission sat again yesterday, at No. 32,
Abingdon-street, to resume its inquiry. Commissioners
present—The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere (chairman),
Sir J. Patteson, and Mr. Cornewall Lewis.
Mr. Jones, solicitor, who gave evidence at the lastvsit-
ting, presented himself for further examination. He stated
that he had served on the consolidated committee and the
navigation committee, and he could add his testimony to
that of previous witnesses, to the effect that the chairmen
of committees were always chosen from those members
who were most qualified by khowledge and previous ex-
perience to conduct the business entrusted to them. He
gave the most unqualified denial to the assertion that the
convivial tastes of members influenced them in appointing
their chairman. The working of the committees he con-
sidered was most satisfactary. The committee meetings
were very numerous in the course of the year, but the din-
ners which had been so much complained of only took
place after the monthly meetings. There was nothing in
the dinners that was objectionable, and the charge that the
committees were more addicted,t2 guzzling than to attend-
ing to business was unjust, and °lily a bugbear got up to
Lse the public mind against the' corporation. He dis-
tinctly repudiated the statements of Mi. Ambrose Moore
Ju this subject, and denied that the dinners of the coin-
nittees, which, he said, were of a very simple character,
were indispensable to secure a proper attendance at the
neetings The members attended because it was a mat-
er of duty with them, and not from any unworthy or sel-
ish motive. The corporation had effected immense im-
)rovements in the streets of the metropolis, and a person
ho had seen the City 30 years ago would hardly know it
o be the same place now-a-days.
Mr. H. L. Taylor was next examined. He said he was
;hairman of the markets improvement committee, to
vhich was entrusted the execution of the new metropol-
an cattle market at Copenhagen-fields. He had been a
comber of the corporation for about ten years, and had
aken an active part in its affairs generally. In 1848 it
vas referred to the committee of which he was chairman
o inquire into the state of the markets within the City,
iz., Smithfield, Newgate, and Leadenhall markets, with
he view of ascertaining whether any addition ought to be
trade to their space, or any increased accommodation
Jiorded. The committee was also directed to inquire
,vhether it was expedient to apply to Parliament for
pwers to raise the funds necessary for effecting any such
aerations by any increase or modification of the tolls
levied in the markets. In pursuance of this reference, the
committee originated a plan for the enlargement of Smith-
ield-market, which was a rival scheme to that proposed
oy the Government for the entire removal of that market.
An influential portion of the press opposed the view taken
by the corporation on this subject, and the committee felt
it to be their duty as trustees for the citizens whose mar-
ket, held by charter, was sought to be taken away from
them, to do what they believed to be for the benefit
if the public at large. The steps taken by the cor-
,oration necessarily involved a certain amount of expense,
out they had incurred no more than was fully justified by
the object they had in view. The plan of the corporation
was sanctioned by 7,000 electors of the City, who signed a
nemorial to Lord John Russell in favour of the retention
,f the central cattle market at Smithfield, with the im-
provements proposed in it by the corporation, and the Daily
_Vacs, the Morning Herald, the Morning Advertiser, and
the Morning Post, each published articles, in his
judgment, more, sound, moro to the purpose, and more
,onvinein,g than those which appeared in the other por-
tions of the press in favour of the Government scheme.
Witness then said he wished to allude to a part of Mr.
Bennoch's evidence in connection with this subject. Mr.
Bennoch stated that he believed the corporation had sent
paragraphs to the newspapers in favour of Smithfield-mar-
ket, accompanied by money to induce the editors to insert
them, but that he (Mr. Bennoch) could not himself pro-
ince proof of such an assertion, as he• was not a member
of the committee. Now he (Mr. Taylor) wished to give
that statement the flattest contradiction. Such a proposi-
tion as Mr. Bennoch referred to had never entered intothe
,nind of the committee, because he was quite certain that
the respectable portion of the press would consider it the
grossest insult that could be offered to them if any one
were to seek to bribe them for advocating the retention of
the market ; and he believed that if such an attempt had
been made, instead of the support of the journal being ob-
tained, it would have come out the next morning with a
very severe article exposing so disgraceful a proceeding.
Since Parliament had decided against the retention of
Smithfield-market, the corporation had desired to carry
cut the new market at Copenhagen-fields in the most com-
prehensive and effective manner ; and they had accord-
ingly purchased the largest portion of land which they
could obtain for the purpose, in compliance with the ex-
pressed wish of Mr. Walpole, Lord Palmerston, and every
other member of the Government with whom they had had
to deal ou the subject of the market. The corporation had
bought 78 acres of land altogether, and there would be 15
acres allotted for the accommodation of bullocks and sheep.
The present accommodation for cattle at Smithfield was
6i acres.
Mr. C. Lewis—lt is impossible, with justice, to say that
the corporation has not done enough iu respect to the ac-
commodation to be provided in the new market. The only
question is, whether the corporation has not done more
than is necessary—whether, in fixing upon the amount of
space, it has not done more than has satisfied the justice
.3f the case ? Any charge that the corporation has not
done enough would be most unjust.
Mr. Taylor was very glad to hear Mr. Lewis make that
statement. There had been a scheme proposed for cring-
ing the cattle by railway from Blackwall to the new mar-
ket, and also for connecting the Great Northern Railway
with the new market. The corporation had been asked to
dispose of a part of their land for this railway, but they
had refused to part with any portion of it, believing that
outside of the market there would be sufficient room for
stations for all purposes connected with the market.
The Chairman : What amount of revenue do you expect
to derive annually from your property in the new market?
Mr. Taylor : About 14,0001., or a return of 4 per cent. on
the outlay of 350,0001. The corporation also proposed to
make a new dead-meat market on a part of the site of
Smithfield, the present Newgate-market being very insuffi-
cient and confined in its amount of space. This new dead
meat market would occupy about three acres, and would
be situated near Long-latie ; but that point had not yet
been finally decided.
Mr. C. Lewis : Farringdon Market we hear is little used,
could it not be made available for a new meat market ?
Mr. iTaylor Farringdon-market is very awkwardly
situated, being upon an acclivity, and it is not considered
by any one acquainted with the City markets that it can
made available as a dead meat market.
Mr. C. Lewis : I believe Parringdon-market is spacious
and airy, and would it not be better to alter it so as to
adapt it to necessities of the trade, instead of going to the
expense of making an entirely new dead meat market ?
Mr. Taylor : We think that Smithfield would be more
central and more likely to succeed as a market. The wit-
ness then said he wished to contradict another statement
made by Mr. Bennoch. Mr. Bennoch stated that money
had been spent by the corporation in giving dinners to
members of Parliament, to whom gratitude was due for
having supported the views of the corporation in regard to
Smithfield-market. Now, the only dinner that had been
given was the dinner at BellaruY's, which was given to the
sheriffs ou the occasion of their presenting a petition against
the Government measure ; and the whole expense was
141.175.
Mr. C. Lewis—That statement of Mr. Bennoch's has been
contracted before. Do you think that the corporation in
their opposition to the Government were influenced by any
portion of their constituents who were interested in the
retention of Smithfield-market ?
Mt Taylor—Certainly not. There were no doubt per-
sons carrying on business near the market whose interests
were more or less mixed up with its retention, and of
' course the corporation had the co-operation of these parties
in their opposition to the Government.
Mr. C. Lewis—But do you think that these parties in-
fluenced the decision of the committee in opposing the
Government?
Mr. Taylor—Not in the least. There was a majority of
about 70 to 7 members of the corporation in favour of the
City's plan. Witness then stated that he thought the cor-
poration was capable of considerable revision and improve-
ment, and he had always been in favour of an inquiry like
the present taking place, from which he believed much
good would result. In particular he thought that advan-
tage would arise from a reduction being made in the num-
ber of the committees.
Mr. Wm. Rushton examined— He was the paymaster
and collector of the fellowship porters, and had held that
office for 27 years. He had to collect the rootage dues and
also to pay the fellowship porters, afterwards collecting
the sums due to the men from their employers. It had been
p, but that was not the
represented to the commission
otterse received a penny in
every shilling earned by the
fact. He did not received for himself more than one far-
thing in the shilling
upon anannualsum of 227,000/. ; a
large sum being required for office expenses. He denied
that a larger balance than was
necessary to enable him to
pay the men their wages was entrusted to him by the fel-

lo;vship.
Mr. D.W. Wire examined—He was an alderman' and a
sheriff of the city of London, and a solicitor. He had paid
great attention to the subject of the fines, imposed upon
persons selected for the office of,heriff in the city of Lon-
don. He had never kriovfn en instance since his connec-
tion with the corporation in which a per,o'n had been se-
lected for the office of sheriff merely for the purpose of ex-
acting the fine from him; and at present no such practice
prevailed. The Lord Mayor did not now exercise his pri-
vilege of nominating persons for the office of sheriff. The
election of sheriffs in COMMOTI-hall.Was very objectionable,
because, unless the friends of parties who did not wish to
serve attended at the Guildhall, it was very likely that
they might be elected against their will, and consequently
would have to pay the fine.
The Chairman—Can you suggest any improvement in
the mode of electing the sheriffs?
Mr. Wire—l can, but Ido so with a great deal of diffi-
dence. If the constituency were altered that might induce
a better attendance in Common Hall, and so prevent abuse;
but failing that, I think thatthe election should be vested
in the Common Council, who would always know the
names of parties who were willing to serve. The ordinary
expenses of the office of sheriff are abo 2,500. a ye/ar
but some sheriffs spend agret deal morut e. The mode of
appointing the under sheriffs in the city of London is pre-
cisely the same as the mode in all the other counties of
England. The emoluments of the under-sheriff when I
held the office averaged about 1,0001. a-year. With regard
to the case of Mr. Gray, who applied to the corporation for
a portion of tho estreats forfeited in a prosecution insti-
tuted by him against a gang of swindlers in the City, I
have to say that Mr. Gray made two applications to the
corporation. The first application was for a- contribution

towards the expenses of the prosecution, and the corpora-
tion voted him 501. for that purpose. The second applica-
tion was for a portion of the estreats, and it was not made
until after the money had been set over by the Crown, and
distributed among the parties who were entitled to it.
The corporation always deals very-liberally with persons
having an equitable claim upon it ; but if it had complied
with Mr. Gray's second application, the money must have
come out of the pocket of the sheriff or the under-sheriff.
The witness then stated, in reference to a charge that had
been made against him that he had adjudicated in a case
in which his partner was engaged professionally to prose-
cute, that he had not so adjudicated, but had merely re-
manded the prisoner, who was committed by Mr. Alder-
man Wilson. Neither was it true that his partner had
been engaged in the prosecution. [This portion of the
worthy alderman's evidence was confirmed in the course of
the day by Mr. Goodman, chief clerk of the Mansion
House Police Court.]
The inquiry was adjourned till Wednesday next.
