WESTMINSTER

COURT OF SEW] 03 OF wEsT.
MINSTER AND PARTS I )7 MIDDLESEX.

Mr. LESLIE objected—it would appear to hurry the
Jury; at all events such haste would not look well in the
eyes of the public. Let them call a special meeting
as soon after the Jury had decided as they pleased.
He then moved " That the names of the mover and
seconder of every motion made in the Court of Sewers
be inserted in the records of the proceedings of the Court;
and also that no motion be put from the chair unless the
same be reduced to writing by the mover, and signed by
the mover and seconder."

The motion having been seconded by Captain BAGITE,
Mr. ADEY begged to add, " And that no Commissioner
speak twice upon the same motion except the mover."—
( Loud laughter.)
Mr. LESLIE had not the slightest objection to the addi.
tion, if it were to be made applicable to other Cmnis-
!loners as well as to him and Mr. Adey.
The CHAIRMAN said that was already the rule of the
Coda, and =as unnecessary. . . . .

The original motion was awn carried, with only one dis-
sentient.

Mr. LESLIE then moved, " That the Bye-law, No. 10,
be altered so as to stand thus :—' That all questions be de-
cided by the names of the Commissioners voting being
taken down by the Clerk.'" He thought it important
that it should be put upon record, because fifty names of
Commissioners might appear as present on one day, and
vet some motion might be carried nem. con. by only five
or six Commissioners, and that same record might be re-
moved into the Qiieen's Bench. How was the Court to
know who were the parties who carried the motion ?
Mr. ADEY objected to the motion, on the ground that
it would lead to much confusion and loss of time. Any
Commissioner now might hive the names taken down
when ho asked for it. _ .

...The CHAIRMAN said a complaint had that morn-
ing been made of the great time taken up in
reading the minutes. Now if the names were taken down
on every slight occasion it must add to the evil. Besides,
how was the Clerk to pay proper attention to the minutes
if be was constantly engaged in this mechanical operation ?
Mr. LEsutt had thought it his duty to make the propo-
sition, because on several occasions a motion had been de
dared carried one way, and when the names were taken
down it was carried the other way. He did not think
much time would be lost, and it would add greatly to the
respectability of their proceedings.
The motion was then put, and 3 voted for it and 12
against it.
Mr. LESLIE then moved that the names be taken down,
amidst much laughter.—Adjourned.
