COURT OF ALDERMEN.

b Testerday a Court was held for the despatch of
astness.

JOSEPH ADY.
Alderman COPELAND presented a Petition from that
very public character, Joseph Ady, who stated himself
p° be a Liveryman of the Bow-string Makers' Com.
,att3'. The petition represented that Ady bad about
Zwent •-fi ago engaged in compiling work which
valuer at upwards of 1,000/., and which contained
41 great variety of intelligence on the subject of mi.
Productive
dividends, profitable to the community, and
equetive of a certain revenue to himself ; that he
ed been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, and
sentenced to transportation for seven years, which sen-
XI" was commuted to imprisonment for twelve months;
at he placed the work alluded to, consisting of books
-.134 Papers, in the hands of Mr. Tyars, now Mr.
eputy Tyars, to whom he had since applied for the
thstoration of them, but from whom he had met with
tie Most indignant refusal ; that he was prevented in
tret advanced age from supporting himself, and gaining for
e e Public hundreds of pounds in consequence of such
%(1, sal; and that he prayed the Court to interfere in
h'en a manner es to cause the restitution of his pro-
rerty.
LORD MAYOR thought it necessary to state to
ce Court that Mr. Ady had applied to him, and that
Ai..llad spoken to his deputy, Mr. Tyars, on the subject.
4,1 r. iyars appeared t be justified in the course he had
eo6l3ted in the case. That gentleman stated that the
tnieutation of the sentence had been made on the
;I°Nlition that the books and papers should never be
le,d again to the injury and vexation of the public.
11ertnan COPELAND said that he was under no
ii.4at compliment to the petitioner, who, when he was
th`l°r, had the assurance to refer to him, as well as to
er Aldermen, as willing to be responsible for his ki-
d,. 'V to the amount of 1,0001.—(A laugh.) He (Al-
o-er,rnao Copeland) however, was one of those who could
oeL se down a man as doomed to be a perpetual of-
erldert us
lieeae he was condemned by the law upon
pee
eciceasion. He thought it possible for a man to re
th,. and mend his ways, and he considered it no more
-4 common humanity to aid any effort of the kind.
t....-o(4ear, hear.) He was the more strongly induced
Dtpresent the petition, as he had every reason to sup
,j,e that the petitioner had procured for rightful
tooLrnants several sums of money, particularly sums of
e,hl'eLY connected with bankrupt estates, a subject on
go; 'a
the Court knew it was extremely difficult to ac-
t: any information at all.—( Hear, hear.) He should
Ntteept.hat the petition be referred to the Petition Corn.
Stiir PETER LAURIE most decidedly opposed the
let‘lt4- The petitioner, he said, was, according to
e.0,-,era from Scotland and other parts, pursuing his old
eo-t", and the acquiescence of the Court would be an
AleZuragement to him to proceed. For the Court of
Itek,--1; _men, of all bodies, to take up such a subject,
The him as extremely preposterous.—( Hear.)
Petition was then ordered to lie on the table.
PUBLIC-HOUSES IN THE CITY.
teletiA conversation took place amongst the Aldermen
dftt‘'e to the conduct of publicans in the City in vic-
aleil'g the Police Act, and they came to an unanimous
wereratanding
that the licenses of those houses which
ibe :"tupliined against on the list licensing day should
igre4)PPed next year if any further complaint of trans-
the,4 should be established against them. The
tak4 ors admitted that it .as a most serious thing to
4140„3waY a license, but they determined that ex-
should be made. The Ward of Bishopsgate
llondinnst Particularly cautioned, and Alderman Cope-,
'lid that he should convey the caution, with all i
Pedition, through his deputies.—Adjourned.

KT OF SEWERS FOR WEST-

s • ASP
f Peeial Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties
CO4l c!ttninster was yesterday held at the office of the
eia,rassioners, Greek-street, Soho, to take into con-
Itre;att'?n the drainage of the West of London and
their.allniter Cemetery, F. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the

far the COUVERIE said it would be desirable to see how
St der t"Pany and the Commissioners azieed to con-
it Ns hale points as settled. Thus he considered that
lrovidePatnved that the Counters' Creek was the easement
he j.g by nature for the draining of the water from
Westnd gory in possession of the West of London and
4 ree."Ho.ster Cemetery Company, and he would move
mur.%•ton to that effect.
A e "TER seconded the resolution.

ateppetteadiiseusion, after proceeding for some time, was
Th. c7Y
-
1441.1 on the ground of irregularity.

thowgbt Mr. Bouverie had better proceed with his
statement.

Mr. BouVERIE then proceeded with his statement.
In 1824 the Kensington Canal Act was passed. The
bank in the neighbourhood of the land in question
was erected, which was an interruption to the natural
drainage, and the Act made it incumbent on the Com-
pany to provide proper drainage for the adjoining lands.
In 1828 they appl'ed to this Court for liberty to lay
pipes through this bank. There was a clause at the
end of the Act reserving the power of the Commis-
sio: era of Sewers, but it could hardly be contended that
clause annulled the effect of the preceding el ruses, pro-
tecting the rights of the landowners, and providing a
remedy for evils inflicted by the Act itself. It had been
contended that the pipes had been introduced for the re-
lief of the bank itself, and not for the adjoining land ;
now there was no proof of this, and the probability was
that the application was made at the instance of the
landowner. The Court gave leave without hesitation,
and the minute stated on the face of it that the pipes
were for the conveyence of the land water into the
sewer or canal. He did not know how far the Court
would contend that they had a right to stop a natural
drainage, but he would submit that the right of ease-
ment was not abridged by the 47 Geo. 3, cap. 7, nor
by the Kensington Canal Act. He now came to the
point at issue, and he was not aware that it was neces-
sary to come to the Court for leave to build drains on
his own land, and be thought it was perfectly natural
that the Commissioners should not know they were
doing wrong. In October 1839, the Commissioners
directed the pipes to be cut off, on the ground that
they had been appropriated to purposes for which they
had not been originally intended. Now, he thought
that was a harl. case. It was impossible the pipes
could be appropriated to any use for which they were
not intended, as it was impossible that any but land
water could be carried off. The further proceedings,
however, in the order were suspended until about
March 1840, when all drainage was stopped, and on
the 20th of that month tie Court came to the resolu-
tion to suspend further operations on the order, until
a survey should have taken place. In consequence the
plugs were taken out, and the drainage continued with-
out interruption until July. In the meantime the
Cemetery Company had renewed their applicef on to
have this drainage at a lower level. The order made to
cut cif the drains was directly in teeth of the
practice of the Court, in cases of old sewers.
Now, as the lands of the Company had no frontage to
the canal, which, although not a covered sewer, was
yet a sewer, they hal a (Isar and undoubted right of
drainage into it, and could not be callei upon to build
a sewer. The 1 ind could never be built upon, and
therefore it would he but fair to the Company to allow
the same drainage in the land, which was allowed when
it wes occupied as garden grounds. It was evident
from the report of the surveyor, that the public could
not be damnified by granting the request of the Com-
pany. It appeared, moreover, from the report of the
surveyor, that if the Company were compelled to build
a sewer, the land could act be effectually drained by it,
and that the only effectual way of so doing was by
granting the prayer of the Company's petition. The
lion. Commissioner then proposed a string of resolu-
tions, embodying the principal topics of his speech.
Mr. LESLIE rose to order. He thought that notice
ought to have been given of these motions, and doubted
whether they could be put without notice.
Mr. BOUVERIE would, if it would facilicate the pro- '
ceedings of the Court, withdraw the merely affirmative
resolutions, aad move senply that the prayer of the pe-
tition of the Company be granted, if the Kensington
Canal Company consent.
Mr. J. WHITE seconded the reselution. The Ken-
sington Canal Company purchased all the land corn-
posing the present sewers, except a seta I portion. The
application for permission to lay pipes through the bank,
was made merely to save the bank itself from being de-
stroyed. He admitted the Cemetery Company had a
right to drain their land into a neighbouring water-
course ; but it had always been a question to treet
these matters as a sort of arbitration. The Court said
do this, and we will permit you to do that ; and, as a
general rule, it was a most beneficial one ; but, in this
instance, where only a small strip of ground interfered,
he thought it would be hard to refuse the Cemetery
Company to drain through that strip, if they could pro-
cure the consent of the Canal Company. He aid not
believe the Commissioners could stop drains, unless
they were improperly constructed : the proper way of
punishing parties for draining without leave, was to in-
flict a fine. He seconded the resolution, although he
did not agree in all the positions laid down by the Hon.
Mover.

Sir GEO. FARRANT said that every day's experience
showed that consecrated burial-grounds might be con-
verted to building purposes. The land in the neigh-
bourhood might become building ground, and then a
sewer would be necessary, towards which the Cemetery
would never pny, unless they were bound to construct
it now. He thought the drainage would not be accord-
ing to the established rules, unless the Company built a
sewer.

Mr. JOHN GUNTER thought it would be a great in-
justice to the Company to insist upon their building a
sewer.

Mr. MULLINS did not conceive that the Court had
any power to obstruct the original easements of any
lands, or to preclude parties from using the usual an-
cient drain. The argument against granting the peti-
tion was this, that, to effect a possible public good,
they might inflict a possible private injury. He did not
see how the Court could refuse the prayer of the
petition.
Mr. BEACH denied that the riht of the Company
to the drainage Lad been established by usage. Ac-
cording to the established practice of the Court, the
Company were bound to build a sewer, and therefore
be certainly should oppose any proposition for granting
the prayer of the petition.
Mr. 'GRACE thought, if the resolution of July last
should be rescinded, and the Company exonerated
frcm building the sewer, the independence of the Court
would be lost.

Mr. R. GUNTER, as a Proprietor of the Cemetery
Company, did not intend to vote on this question, but
he thought he wa3 perfectly justified in coming there
to offer any observations he might think proper.
Mr. R. CHAMBERS had no interest in the Cemetery
Company, but he should vote for the resolution, inas-
much as the land was in the same state it was when the
Kensington Canal Act passed.
Mr. Furctr thought the Company should be com-
pelled to build a sower, if they wanted additional ac-
commodation.

111 r. WILLouGHBY thought the Commissioners were
bound to enforcie the rule they had laid down for the
public benefit, in enforcing the building of a sewer in
front of the land.
Mr. LESLIE thought they ought to have had clearly
laid down to them what was the law. He wished to
know whether the Commission had the power, by
law, to say to any proprietor, you shall drain only in the
way in which we tell you. Under what statute, sup-
posing the Company inclined to go to law, could they
justify the cutting off the old drainage, and how could
they force the Company to build a new sewer? Those
were points that ought to be cleared up before they
could come to a decision on the question. They would
disgrace themselves if they did not use the Company in
precisely the same way they would an individual.
Mr. F. GODRICH contended that the natural drain-
age of the land was into the Kensington Canal, and it
was perfectly anomalous that the Court should have
ventured to take upon itself to cut off the drainage.
The Court had in a parailtl case acted perfectly differ-
ent. Where the public required a sewer that the pro-
prietors did not want, the Court had no right to make
the proprietors of land build such a sewer at their own
expense.
The CHAIRMAN said the Cemetery Company were
by law required to drain under the superintendence of
the Commissioners. If parties were to ask for an ease-
ment, it was the duty of the Commissioners to see that
the private sewage was made subservient to public cla•
venience. If the old easement had only been required
they would not have been interfered with, but now they
' wished for greater accommodation, The Court was
bound to make the drain in ijte manner best for the
public good. The qu'::stion was, whether by permit-
ting individuals drain in their own way they were
not depriving the public of any advantage which they
ought to have. He certainly thought the prayer of the
petition ought not to be granted.
Mr. BouvERIE replied, and the Court divided—
For the motion

The Court then adjourned to Friday next.

HOTEL AND TAVERN KEEPERS' PROVI-
DENT INSTITUTION.—The mcmhers of the above Imftu-
tion held their second annual gereral meeting at the Free-
masons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, on nonday, Benja-
min Bond Cabbell, Esq., in the chair. TI e Secretary
reed the Report. It appeared that at the lost attelit 2t 3/.
9s. remained in favour cf the Society, which, with 8041.
7s. 9d. received in donatit ns and subsetiptions, aid the
dividend on stock, made the receipts in March, 1841,
amount to 1,117/ 21. sd. The disbursements being 150/.
14*. 4d. in the necessary expenses, and 8491. ss. 6J. in-
veAcd with the Commissioners of the Nmioaal Debt, arid
added to the permanent fund, left 1171. sd. in the
treasurer's bands. After congratulating the members
upon the prop essive influence of the St cicty, the Re-
port stated th it 384 members were enrolled, a great num-
ber of whom were cooks and waiters of hotels, for whose
relief the Society was principally intendel.
THE RULING PASSION.—An exciseman call-
ing at the hours of a good humoured landlady at
Shrewsbury, she consulted him about some liquor that
had been deposited in her editor without a permit. At
the words
" without a permit" the exciseman rushed bc_
low, and soon found himself up to the middle in wr.t.r,
which the flooding of the Severn had forced into the
cellar.—Bristol Journal.

CAMBRIDGE.—The three gentlemen, Messrs.
Core, Bather, and Thing, who stand at the head of the
first class of the Cambridge Classical Tripoe, are, we un-
derstand, schoolfellows; having proceeded together from
Shrewsbury school to college. Such a circumstance is
seid, to be unprecedented in the annals of either University.
