COURT OF SEWERS FOR WEST-
MINSTER AND PART OF MIDDLESEX.

A Special Court of the Commissioners of Sewers for
the city and liberties of Westminster, was held yester-
day, at one o'clock, at the Seweri,office, Greek-street,
Soho, for the purpose of hearing parties who appealed
against the presentments of the Jury for the Ranelagh

and Counters Creek Districts.
T. L. DONALDSON, Esq., having taken the Chair,
Mr. BICKNELL was called in, and said he appeared
on behalf of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital,
and objected to the assessment—lst, That the hospital
was not assessable, and that it derived no benefit from

the sewers ; 2d, that if assessable, the assessment was
too high ; and, 3d, that if assessable at all, they were
not so for the chapel and the wards ; and, should the
Commissioners be against him on all these points, they
had assessed the rate in such a manner as to preclude
the possibility of trying the question, inasmuch as
they had assessed a perm not residing either in
the chapel or the wards. If the Commissioners
thought it right to persist in the assessment, the
question must be tried, and as he wished to try it,
on its merits, he was desirous that the assessment should
be made in such a way as to enable the question to be
tried. He would give every information that should
enable them to ascertain on whom the rate ought to be
assessed. Chelsea Hospital was not assessable to the
poor-rates for the wards and chapel, and therefore not
to the sewers-rate. The case was different from the
Somerset House case.
Mr. LESLIE said the Somerset House case was much
alluded to, and had been much misunderstood. • The
goods of the Clerk were taken, not because he was in
occupancy of the premises, but because he was assessed
to the poor-rates. •
The CHAIRMAN said the Court had always held that
they had the power to go upon any premtscs and levy
for the sewers-rate. All the Court wanted was, that
the case should be decided upon fair grounds. Mr.
Bicknell would be put into communication with the
Solicitors of the Court, and the question would be put
in a train of being tried fairly. There were tw'i ways

of trying it.
Mr. BICKNELL thought the best way would be to
remove the proceedings of this Court to the Queen's

Beech by certiorari.
The SOLICITOR said that appellants would be re-
eluded from. e.ief unless they traversed.
Mr. LESLIE said that it was coming out now that
parties might traverse. It ought to have been men-
tioned before.
Mr. BICKNELL gage notice he would traverse.
The SOLICITOR said that unless a party came before
this Court, and submitted to its jurisdiction, or finless
they claimed a traverse, and went to another jury, they
were precluded from relief, and the question could not
be tried as an action for trespass.
Mr. ADEY did not agree in that opinion ; he doubted
whether the question of law could be tried in an action
of traverse.
Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether the Solicitor
meant that unless a person came before the Court on
some such occasion as the present, he was precluded
all remedy ?
The SOLICITOR said that Lord Ellenborough had
given it as his opinion that unless a traverse were
claimed the party admitted he was liable to taxation.
Mr. LESLIE wished to know if it were not possible
that a jury called out on the traverse might refuse to
present the property, seeing the litigation it might

THE NEW COUGH MEDICINE! ! !
'TOLL AND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE,
the newly-dscovered remedy for COUG H S, COLDS,
INFLUENZAI ,INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON-
SUMPTION,
Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among
the discoveries which take place none are more deserving of
public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which,
in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences
to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds.
This Extraordinary Remedy relieves the most distressing
symptoms in a few hours, and a little perseverance in its use
will, In every case, effect a permanent cure.
Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathing,
sorer.:'ss and rawnesc pf the chest, impeded expectoration, sore
throat, as,;.l feverish symptiaps, will be quickly subdued, while
its use will assi:redly prevent aoriagelption from this prolific

occasion.
The SOLICITOR said, certainly that was the law•
Mr. LESLIE thought it was their bounden duty to
inform those who came there, that the first step for
them to take was to claim a traverse, and another jury
might relieve them from all the difficulty they had got
into.
Mr. BICKNELL wished the Court to furnish him
with the ordinary form of traverse, or if they prefer-
red it he would give them a notice of traverse in five
minutes.
The CHAIRMAN wished to know what part of the
rate he appealed against.
Mr.BICKNELL—The part affecting that quarter of the
Hospital which was not before rated, viz. the chapel
and the wards, amounting to 3,3811.
It was then ordered that Mr. Bicknell be permitted
to inspect the form of traverse used on a former occasion.
Mr. ADEY thought the traverse could not dispose of
the legal question it the property was rateable or not.
Mr. LESLIE thought a new jury might be of opinion
that that property ought not to be rated, and that,
for the present time, would be decisive of the question.
Mr. ADEY denied that a jury would take upon them-
selves the province of a Judge and decide the point of
law, and, even if they did so, the Commissioners must
raise the question in another way.
Mr. LESLIE—The law says th., way of raising that
question is by a traverse, when the question would be
tried in open Court. The question is between the pub-
lic and the jury—the Commissioners have nothing to do
with it. Supposing the traverse jury find that to be a
bad presentment, it would vitiate the whole proceedings.

Asthmatic cases, and particularly in Hoarseness Wheezings,
and Obstructions of the Chest ; while those who have laboured
for years under the misery of a confirmed Asthma, have been
enabled by its use to enjoy the blessings of life, and to pursue
their avocations with a degree of ease and comfort they had
been strangers to for years.

Mr. W. B. FRANCE thought, as thd case was to go
before a jury, it was a waste of time to argue it now.

Mr. Bickriell then withdrew.
Mr. GUNNING, on the part of St. George's Hos-
pital, being called in, stated his objectmos to re-
quest time to consider the question, and in all proba-
bility they should be guided by what was done by the
other hospital, and most probably they might come to
some arrangement. He had many objections, but he
would waive them now, and merely ask for time. His
wish was that all the hospitals should act together.
Mr. ADEY suggested that it would be better for Mr.
Gunning to let this presentment go under protest,
which would not preclude him from trying the question.
He did not wish to go to the trouble of a trial. Let a
decree go against him, and if other cases should go
against them, they could relieve him from the decree.
Mr. LESLIE thought Mr. Adey had better read up
his law before he came there to give opinions. It was
not in the power of the Court to relieve parties from a
decree, and Mr. Adey's law was wrong.
Mr. ADEY said he should not answer such a ridiculous
observation.

Mr. LESLIE would ask the solicitor if the Court
could relieve parties from a decree.

The SOLICITOR said they could not.
Mr. LESLIE said that showed what Mr. Adey's law
was worth ; he knew nothing of it.
Mr. ADEY said the object was to prevent the rule
being made ; and if all these traverses were tried, it
would never be made. If the Court of Queen's Bench
on a trial decided they could not make the rate, the
Court could relieve him after decree.
Mr. LESLIE—But the law says the party must tra-
verse to entitle him to relief.
The SOLICITOR said he had not quite understood
the question. '['he Court could give relief after de-
cree, but not grant a traverse after decree.
In the case of Chelsea Hospital,
Mr. BICKNELL presented a protest against the pre-
sentment and traversed it, and that day fortnight was
fixed as the day for trying the question ; the Court to
meet at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Mr.AnEv moved that the question as to St. George's
Hospital be adjourned to that day three weeks.
Captain BAYNE seconded it.
Mr. Mur.r..ms thought no distinction ought to be
made ; one party had put in a traverse, and now they
ought not to grant time to others who did not traverse.
Mr. LESLIE thought that all proceedings ought to
be adjourned until the traverse jury had met and de-
cided, and he should move as an amendment that the
further consideration of all matters relating to the pre-
sentment of the Ranelagh district should be adjourned
until the traverse jury should have given their decision.
Mr. MuLLirts seconded the amendment. It ap-
peared absurd to postpone an application until after
file traverse juryt should have decided the question,
Mr. WlLLotiottav opposed the amendment.

The CHAIRMAN said that on that occasion the amend-
ment had been carried.
Mr. WHITE thought they ought to decide the ques-
tion at once. This exclusive privilege question was di-
rectly contrary to law. The law of Henry VIII. said
that no one should be exempt from the sewers'-rate,
but that all property should be assessed. Such should
be
the answer given to all applicants. He should sup-
port the amendment.
Mr. MULLINS thought that the statutes alluded to
by the last Commissioner, had nothing to do with the
question of the present presentment.
Mr. ADLY asked for delay, solely to give the Gover-
nors of the Hospital an opportunity of considering
whether they would litigate the question or not.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, Iw4l.

had no authority to present a written protest, or to do
more than he had done.
He then withdrew.
Mr. FARR, solicitor to the Ordnance, appeared to
appeal against the assessment on the Hyde Park Maga-
zine and Barracks. He objected to the rate, on the
ground that the Magazine was unconnected with any
sewer, and not occupied by any individual, and there-
fore was not rateable.

The CHAIRMAN said the benefit derived from the
sewers might be remote. The roads leading to the
Magazine wore drained.
Mr. ADEY—Do you mean to traverse, Mr. Farr?
Mr. FARR—I do not. I merely wish to submit the
question to the Court ; and if they should decide against
me, I shall submit.
The CHAIRMAN said there was no doubt it was
rateable.

Mr. FARR would then submit, but he considered,
being an uninhabited building, it was rated too high.
With respect to the Magazine Barracks, he should
withdraw his appeal, Lfter the decision which had just
been come to. With respect to the assessment of
531. 103. on the Cavalry Barracks, he objected to it,
on the ground that it was in connection with the new
drain in Sloane-street.

The CHAIRMAN—The assessment was quite uncon-
nected with the question of the new sewer ; if it had
never been proposed, the rate would have been the same.
Mr. Farr then withdrew.
The CHAIRMAN said that as questions of great legal
interest would arise when the traverse question came on,
he thought it would be advisable that a gentleman of
some legal attainments should take the chair. He
should therefore propose that Mr. Broughton take the
chair. _ _ _

Mr. BROUGHTON thought the proper way would be
to appoint a legal assessor to the chair, who would be
responsible for his opinion. He should be happy to
render any assistance ro his brother Commissioner, but
his opinion was decidedly against the legality of the
presentment.
Mr. LESLIE doubted the power of the Court to ap-
point an assessor. The question was one entirely for
the jury to determine, and not for the Court. A
counsel coming there was not a member of the Court,
and the employing one was a virtual acknowledgement ,
of their own incompetence. The more legal opinions
they got the greater was the mess they got into.—(A
laugh.)
Mr. BROUGHTON said they had a clear power to em-
ploy and pay an assessor. He would not decide the thing,
nor take it out of the hands of the jury. The jury
would have to decide on certain faets, but they would
have to take the law from the Court. They should re-
member that it always looked well with the Queen's
Bench to have acted under the advice of counsel.
Mr. ADEY said the Chairman having charged the
last jury, he thought it advisable that he shoud now
have the assistance of an assessor. Who was to answer
the arguments addressed by the appellant to the
jury ? He thought a barrister acting as assessor would
be the most proper person.
The CHAIRMAN appealed to the Court to relieve him
from a responsibility which he felt was too much for him.
Mr. MULLINS wished to know if Mr. Broughton
would take the chair.

Mr. BaouctrroN thought the constitution of the
Court ought not to be altered, but that the Chairman do
continue in the chair. _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN said the constitution of the Court
would not be altered by Mr. Broughton taking the
chair. Ile wished the Court would give him leave of
absence for that day, and ask Mr. Broughton to occupy
his place.
Mr. NI ULLINS Slid he could not conceive the necessity
of an asssessor—the Court was a Court of Justice.
They did not appear as defendants, and therefore did
not want a counsel to reply for them,—they were to
administer justice as judges. It would be derogatory
to the Court to appoint an assessor.
Mr. ADEY said that although they sat there as Jus-
tices they represented the rate-payers ; they did not
decide the question, the jury did. How was the ques-
tion to be put to the jury, it the Chairman did not put
it properly.
A CONIMISSIONER—A Commissioner might.
Mr. ADEY—That is it, I want to have an assessor
appointed to avoid discussion before the jury.
Mr. LESLIE was glad that the object of appointing
an assessor was avowed. It was to gag the Commis-
sioners.—(Cries of Order and Shame, and great con-
fusion.) It would be delegating the authority to some
paid m in, and if they could not execute their duties
themselves, they had better resign the situations.
Mr. BlioucturoN--The authority is not delegated.
Mr. LESLIE—What does he conic here for then
Mr. BROUGHTON—To answer questions, if asked.—
(A laugh.)
Mr. LESLIE wanted to know what need they had of
a counsel—they would only be getting further into
the mire, and he hoped that the relief they would get
from a new jury would be to throw the whole of this
overboard.
Mr. MULLINS protested against the doctrine that
the charge of the Chairman should be submitted to the
jury until it had been approved of by the Court.
Mr. WlLLoucticv thought they ought to grant to
the Chairman the assistance he required, by granting
him the aid of an assessor, and he should move that
Mr. Ogle be appointed the assessor.
Mr. Mum.itss decidedly objected to the appoint-
ment of a❑ assessor. This was a special meeting, and
no business could be entertained that was not in the
business-paper. Notice should have been given of it.
lie doubted if it could be put.
Mr. BROUGIITON had been misunderstood by the
Commissioners over the way. All this argument went
to the power of the Court to appoint an assessor ; when
they sat judicially they must have but one voice, or it
would be impossible for the jury to act. He thought
the question could be put without any broach of the
rules. 'l'hc question was one merely of detail as to
facilitating the conduct of the business before them.
A long discussion ensued on the point of order, which
ended by the Court deciding that the resolution could
be put, because it was merely carrying out the busi-
ness on the paper.
On the question being put,
Mr. I-Law KES said he wished to know what an assessor
was. It appeared to him that it was it barrister to be
employed to defend the Commissioners. He did not
believe the rate-payers would like to have their money
employed for such a purpose, and he thought the
Chairman was perfectly competent to perform the duties
required of him.
Mr. LESLIE said that on another point of order he
did not think the question could go on. Mr. Bicknell
had been asked, and said that he would not employ
counsel, aid now they wanted in his absence to appoint
a barrister themselves. Nothing could be more inde-
cent than to appoint Mr. Ogle, who had already given
an opinion on the subject contrary to that of the Lord
Chief Justice.
'rile CHAIRMAN said they appointed him as an as-
sessor, not as a❑ advocate.
Mr. Willoughby's motion was then put and carried,
on a division of 14 to 5.
Mr. TAYr.on, Deacon of Paddington-green Chapel,
appealed against the rate, on the ground of excessive
rental.
The CHAIRMAN submitted that the rate should be
lowered.
Mr. MuLLitss doubted if they had the power to
do so.

Mr. LESLIE would remind the Court that this was
the first case which had occurred after the presentment
had been traversed.
The question was then put that the chapel be rated
at 80/. and carried.
Mr. CORNEL appeared for Chelsea Church and for
the Board of Guardians, to object to the rate. He was
proceeding to argue the question on principle, when he
was interupted by
Mr. ADEY, who said they could not suffer any one
to argue the principle of the question.
Mr. MuLuNs—What is the meaning of to hear
parties then in the notices?
The CHAIRMAN said the principle of assessing
churches the Court would not entertain ; it would
merely entertain objections to the amount. He would
advise the applicant to claim a traverse.
Mr. CORNEL was not in a position to determine
whether he would claim a traverse.
Mr. LESLIE—The public were invited to come, by
the Court saying they would hear them. Why was not
the public told they must traverse, before they came
there?
Mr. CORNEL wished to know whether the assess-
ment would remain in its present shape, exactly as to
the double presentment for Chelsea church.
The CHAIRMAN—It will.
Mr. CORNEL, after some discussion, claimed a tra-
verse, which was ordered to be heard before the same
jury as the other.
Mr. UPTON, solicitor for the London and Westmin-
ster Cemetery Company, appealed against the rate, on
the ground of overcharge ; they were rateable only for
the profitable occupation of the land, and he could
show that, up the present time, they had realised no
profits, and therefore he thought the assessment ought
not to be more than it was before the land was a ceme-
tery. They had been assessed to the Poor-rates at
,0 00 / . a year, and on his representing the case to the
Vestry, it was reduced to 245/. per annum.
The CHAIRMAN proposed that the assessment should
be reduced to 245/.
qur-
A CONIMISSIONEK proposed to examine the
veyors on the point.
On inquiry it was found the Surveyors had left.
t Mr. LESLIE thought they had acted wisely here,

///

PRICE sd.

They made oath before the Jury that the rating of
the property was 2,300/., and now this gentleman said
it was only worth 245/. ; and on his representation they
were about to alter a presentment made by a Jury, after
hearing evidence on oath. He should not vote at all
on the question.
Mr. Mul.uss thought the Solicitor ought to be asked

the Court could interfere.
The SOLICITOR thought it would be hardly safe for

the Court to interfere to give relief in this instance,
without putting the party on their traverse.
Mr. TiAwKEs thought the profits should be rate.],
and not the buildings.
Mr. WHITE waved that the rata should be reduced
to 2-15/.

On a division, there appeared—
For the reduction
Against it
Mr. LESLIE considered that decision pat the whole
rate in jeopardy.
The hearing of the appellants was postponed to
Friday next.
The Clerk then read a statement of a deficiency in
the accounts of one of the collectors, and stating, that,
in reply to an application to the solicitor of one of his
sureties, it had been stated, that if he were now allowed
to make up his account, the money would be forth-

coming.
Mr. ADEY proposed that the clerk should have the
books made up, and apply to his surety for any defi-
ciency that might be proved, which was agreed to.
The Court then broke up, at a quarter after six
o'clock.
