The Crunnax said that he had received an applica-
tion during the week requesting the board to receive a
deputation. It being the first .application of the kind,
he suggested that the board should decide on receiving
deputations in future immediately after the confirming
the minutes of the previous meeting.
This suggestion was agreed to, and it was decided
that the application'of the deputation should be read,
and the deputation called in.
The CUBIC then read the notice from the Vestry Clerk
of St. Saviour's, Southwark, asking the board to receive
a deputation from that parish and a section of the St.
Saviour's District Board of Works.

The deputation was then called in. The Vestry-
Clerk (Mr. Stormy) then stated that the inhabitants of
the district. above•eamed felt touch satisfaction at the
notice of motion that had been given by a member of the
Board of Works for the formation of a new street from
the High-street,. Southwark, to the West-end. For
years the necessity of such a means of communi-
cation had been felt, and so long ago as 1831
the subject was mooted, and 60,000/. had been ap-
propriated by act' of Parliament from the coal does to-
wards effecting it, which now with interest amounted
to about 84.0001., and was in the hands of the Commis-
siOners of WOods and FOrests.

The deputation having been interrogated by several
of the members of the board said they had no memorial
or plans to present to the board.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that where an alteration to
he made was likely to exceed the expenditure of 100,0001.
it would be necessary for them to apply to Parliament
for additional powers.
The deputation then withdraw.
Mr. Deputy EIARRI3ON complained of the Board re-
ceiving deputations without ;My memorials to enter on
the records of the Board, and soggested that in future
the reception of depntitions should Be named on agenda
paper.
The CHAIRUAN said the application was received after
the paper was published. In future he would take care
notice of the reception of such boards should be entered
in the notice.
