CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

Upon the meeting of the Court the members pro-
ceeded to elect a chairman for the ensuing year.
L. Mr. CONDER, seconded by Mr. UNIYIN, moved that
Deputy Peacock be appointed chairman, of whose
experience, care, constant attention, and patience, in
matters of business they were all perfectly aware.
The Deputy was unanimously elected.
The CHAIRMAN then ad(iressd the meeting. He
mut, he said, 13a composed of materials very different
from those he thought to be ac ive within him, if he
did not feel grateful for the honour the commi,sioners
conferred upon him for the third time. However
humble his abilities might be, he certainly should
not abate his efforts to perform the duties of the
office efficiently.—(Hear, hear.) Since his appoint-
ment he had never been absent but once, and the
public, who knew but little of the labours of the com-
missioners, had to learn that they had held during the
last year seventy-six courts and committees, besides
meetings, on the subject of the rates, amounting to
about twice a week. Their business was, in fact, im-
mense. The Government were aware of their exer-
tions, and no doubt was entertained as to the passing
of their Bill. They had undergone examination at
Gwydyr House before the metropolitan commis-
sioners, who seemed to be only anxious to get at the
truth from those who were just as anxious to give it.
—(Cheers.) He hoped that body would render to
the country the benefits it was entitled to receive.
For his part, his time should be wholly at the service
of his fellow citizens.
