METROPOLITAN ROADS.

IMPORTANT DECISION AS REGARDS
THE PAYERS OF HIGHWAY RATES.
The adjourned sessions, to which we alluded on the
20th ult., was held yesterday at Hammersmith, for the
consideration of an application made by the p Irish of
Fulham to be relieved from the statute duty exacted by
the metropolitan trustees for the maintenance of ,their
roads, at which Sir John Scott Lillie presided as Chair-
man. It was alleged on behalf of the parish in question,
that their highway rates had been considerably increased
within the last few years, and an application was ac-
cordingly made to the magistrates acting for the Kensing-
ton division for relief from the statute duty exacted by
the metropolitan commissioners. The magistrates having
called upon those commissioners for returns of their
annual receipts and expenditure, in order to ascertain
how far this application could be complied with, with-
out endangering the moneys advanced upon the credit of
the tolls, it appeared from those returns that their surplus
revenues amounted to several thousands of pounds per
annum. The parish of Fulham was consequently relieved
from their usual payment of statute duty, which was the
first decision of this nature that has taken place since the
establishment of the metropolitan trust.
The following is a copy of the returns produced before
the bench, and which could not previously be known to
the public, inasmuch as a clause appears to have been
introduced into the Metropolitan Act of Parliament,
whereby the commissioners of these roads have been re-
lieved from the inconvenience of lodging the annual ac-
count of their receipts and expenditure with the clerk of
the peace for the county, as all other turnpike trusts are
obliged to do, from whence it will appear that the decision
of the magistrates could not have been otherwise than in
favour of the complainants.
