CITY SEWERS.

On Tuesday a numerously-attended Court of the
Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London,
was held at the Guildhall, Deputy Peacock in the
chair.

The minutes of the last meeting, held on the 3:1 of
June, having been read by Mr. TICKNER, the assist-
ant clerk, the same were allowed to have been cor-
rectly entered, and were confirmed accordingly.
PERSONAL APPLICATIONS.
Amongst a variety of personal applications for
leave to effect alterations, one of considerable import-
ance was made on the part of Messrs. Cook, Sons, and
Co., of St. Paul's Churchyard. These gentlemen ap-
plied for leave to connect their premises, situate in
Little Carter-lane, one side being the back-front of
their extensive warehouses in St. Paul's Churchyard,
with the south side of the line, by :means of an
ornamental iron bridge. In order to carry out this
project, the firm proposed to make an important public
improvement by removing a considerable number of
old buildings (which at the present time are sup-
ported against each other by a number of unsightly
struts placed across the narrow lane), and by building
upon the site of the old houses several handsome mo-
dern structures on both sides of the way, thus widen-
ing the lane to a considerable extent along the entire
frontage of their property. It was alleged that the rates
upon the old buildings have for a length of time either
not been collected at all, or, if so, with considerable
difficulty. A paper was also put into court, signed
by the whole of the inhabitants of houses contiguous,
expressive of their approval of the proposed bridge,
and their satisfaction as to the general improvements
specified.
After some little discussion it was unanimously
agreed, on the motion of Deputy Holt, seconded
by Mr. Millard, to refer the application to the Ge-
neral Purposes Committee for their consideration and
report.
STREET CLEANSING BY „ " STREET ORDERLIES!'

Deputy HARRISON informed the court that he had
been deputed by certain inhabitants of the ward of
Broad-street to lay before the Commissioners a memo-
rial agreed to at a •recent wardmote held within the
precincts of that ward, in which the parties prayed
the court to " adopt measures as early as possible, in
order that the ward might be cleansed by means of
street orderliel." ---
Deputy CORNET said that he also was entrusted
with a similar application from several of the rate-
payers residing in another part of the ward.
Deputy BRITTEN (Bassishaw ward) remarked that,
as a proof of the reeling of the "street-orderly"
system of cleansing in the ward he had the honour to
represdffi he would inform the court that he held in
his hand a requigitioti for a public meeting to consi-
der the subject forthwith.
Deputy HARRISON, after the memorial had been
reads moved that the memorial he had presented, and
that laid before the court by Deputy Corney, be re-
ferred to the Oeneral Purposes' Committee for their
consideration and report.
After some opposition the resolution was carried.
