for if the cattle disease went on as it
he could hardly conceive what the rei
At present the butchers of London were paying
themselves very well. He thought that they had
better act first, and see the Corporation of the City
of London upon the matter afterwards. It appeared
to him that the Court should also meet from time
to time to consider this subject, as nothing could be
done without the order of the Court. He was aware
that offences had lately been committed in reference
to taking-diseased cattle to market, and where a
conviction was obtained a fine of so much per drove
was inflicted. He thought that the traffic would not
be stopped until they imposed a penalty of so much
per head. He concluded by proposing that thesub-
jeet be referred to a committee of the whole Court.
Mr. BUSK said the Court was perhaps unaware
of the fact that it could not restrain traffic by re-
way. Farmers might bring diseased meat into the
market, and they had no power to stop it. London
was the focus for cattle, and he did not kn ow but what
the order of the 16th ult. precluded them from in-
tering with the cattle upon the roads. lie concluded
by moving—" That a committee be appointed to
consider what measures it will be desirable to take
under the powers given to the Court by the Order
of Council of the 16th December, 1865, and to
report to the Court at its next meeting. That
power be given to the committee to communicate
with the Home Secretary, the Lord Mayor, and'any
other authorities they may think requisite ; and that
the committee consist of the chairman of each
division."
Mr. HEALY seconded the proposition of Mr. Busk.
Mr. ANTROBUS said he did not think that Mr.
Laurie's motion had been seconded ; if it had not,
he should be happy to second it.
Mr. HEALY (in continuation) said that this mat-
ter concerned not only the butchers but other trades.
It was a matter that required mature consideration,
and should be referred to a smaller committee to
consider the ramifications of the question. He
thought the chairman of each division would hardly
be enough to form a committee; they might include
one gentleman from each division as well.
Mr. BUSK said they might certainly include one
worthy magistrate as well as the chairman.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he felt that it was a very
important subject, in consequence of his recent con-
nection with the metropolitan market. He thought
it would be highly indiscreet to pass any resolution
that day without due consideration, as it was a
question that affected three millions of people who
had been in the habit of indulging in the luxury of
meat, and they ought not to think of closing the
market without careful consideration. They must
consider this question in all its bearings, as it was
one of a most important character, and it appeared
to him that all itsramifications should be entertained
by a committee. They ought to cause as little
trouble and as little depreciation of the value of
cattle as possible. He could not go with his friend
Mr. Laurie that it should be a committee of the
whole court. There could be no doubt that what-
ever committee the matter was referred to it would
represent the entire feelings of the county. He
thought that the several chairmen of the petty divi-
sions and as many more would form a good com-
mittee.

racks, Sheet-street, Windsor. A number of cot-
tages have been pulled down on the west of Bar-
rack-lane, and men are now engaged in clearing
the ground.

The following appointments have beer, made at
the Admiralty :—Commander Frederick W. Wilson
to the hector;
.Lieut. Charles T. Chute to the Ex-
cellent; Lieut. James F. Baker to the Canopus ;
Lieut. Maddock R. M. Criffith to the Excellent;
Lieut. John B. Creagh to the Hastings; Lieut.
i Verney L. Cameron to the Excellent; Lieut. Fran-
cis Hayter to the. Excellent ; John F. Mitchell,
surg., to the Pantaloon ; Alfred Hackman, acting
second master, additional, to the Victory ; E. W.
R. Veale, assist.-paymaster, additional, to the
Royal Adelaide; Juhq Bremner, assist-paymaster,
to the Royal George ; H. B. Newton, master's-as-
sistant, additional, to the Royal Adelaide ; and
Jaines F. Fort, master's-assistant, to the Fox.

Mr. W. E. Cox addressed the Court, and in the
course of his observations alluded to a case that had
come under his notice of a farmer sending two cows
to market that had been condemned.

Gen. WOOD thought the amendment proposed by
Mr. Busk by far the best plan to adopt. They must
not interfere with the market without the co-opera-
tion of Government, because if they were to stop the
supply of the London markets they would stop the
supply of all the surrounding districts as well. He
considered this an imperial question, because if they
stopped the supply of the London markets, they
stopped the supply of the world. In considering the
question they would, of course, think it their duty
to give the Government any information and assist
them as much as they could.

Mr. WILD, M.P., thought that if the market was
to be closed it should be by an act of the Govern-
ment, and not of the magistrates of Middlesex.
. _

After a few observations from Mr. Turner, Mr.
Laurie's motion was withdrawn, and the amend-
ment, which became the substantive motion, was
put and agreed to.
It was afterwards agreed, that a committee, con-
suiting of memuers of the I,ollrt, hIIOIIIU no ap-
pointed to carry the former resolution into effect,
and to report to the Court at an early day.
The Court then adjourned.

The Proposed Municipality for Westminster.

At the meeting of the vestry of St. George,
Hanover-square, held yesterday (Thursday), Dr.
Brewer in the chair, a letter was read from the
vestry-clerk of St. James's, Westminster, inviting
the vestry of St. George to send delegates to confer
together on the subject of the proposed consolida-
tion of the vestries of Westminster into one
municipal body. Mr. Glenton having moved and
Colonel Bagot having seconded, that the letter be
simply acknowledged, and ordered to lie on the table,
Dr. Appleton moved an amendment—That six dele-
gates be sent to the proposed conference from the
parish. He alluded to the circumstance that each of
the parishes in the borough, under the present sys-
tem, maintained a large staff of well-paid officials,
whose services were only necessary because of the
district being subdivided into small parishes, and on
that wall—(pointing to a table of officers' salaries)
he said, was a record of what St. George had to
pay owing to that very subdivision. St. George

sent.) They ought to meet once a week. He
had known of bills being passed through Parliament
before the vestry could take steps to oppose them,
owing to their unfrequent meetings. The vestry of
St. George repeatedly yielded to pressure from
individuals, and refrained from doing what was
for the public good owing to that pressure being
put upon them.—(Dissent.) In a municipal corpo-
ration there would be more independence and more
strength, than in a number of jurisdictions, as
at present. Let the members look at the gas
supplied to their pariah. Was it not wretched?
This was only owing to the fact that the gas
companies banded together, and were able by
that very means to snap their fingers at the various
vestries who were not so united as they should have
been. The gas and water companies did as they

liked, and all that the ratepayers could do was " to
grin and bear it." If they wished to know what a
municipal corporation could do, let them look to the
city of London, who were preparing to light the
City with gas, a thing that the divided vestries of
Westminster, as at present constituted, would be
unable to do for their several districts. He trusted
a municipality would be formed. Mr. Westerton
seconded the appointment of delegates. After a
discussion the amendment was lost, and the origi-
nal motion declared carried by 16 to 6.
