lacing shafts, side entrances, and of superintendents, but
which can be ascertained if the Commissioners should
be pleased to give directions to that effect. The quan-
tity of cubic yards is stated in this division at 17,767;
but the observations already made on this point again
apply. The detailed particulars, locality of sewers, con-
tractors' names, &c., will be found in the returns ap-
pended thereto. If the Commissioners should direct
tla'at the inquiry should be further prosecuted I will en-
deavour, as far as practicable, to satisfy the minute re-
quirements of the order upon the subject; but I venture
to remark that the consequence of so doing will be to
consume so much valuable time as materially to impede
the general business of the Commission and to necessi-
tate additional expense. If the Commissioners should
be pleased to decide upon ordering the return to be
completed, I beg respeetfully.to observe that the present
staff of officers is inadequate for the purpose, and that it
will become indispensable that I should be furnished
with additional assistance.
I have the honour to be, my Lord and Gentlemen,
yciur most obedient servant, ,
" E. H. WOOLRYCH, Secretary.
," To the Hon. the MetropOlitan Commissioners of
Sewers."

This report was agreed to, and ordered to be pre
sehted to the House of Commons.

Upon the motion of Mr. LAWES the report as to
the drainage of the southern side Of the metropolis
was formally received and adopted, and the works
ordered
.to be commenced with the least possible
delay.

Mr. HAWES said that it was very important, in car-
rying out works of, this magnitude, that they should
be' executed with as little delay as possible. They had
seen enough of these kinds of works in the metropolis
to know that the moment any delay took place alter-
ations were proposed entailing a great expense and
frequently much disappointment. He hoped that this
great work, which had been agreed upon after due
consideration, would be carried out with vigour, and
as, quickly as possible.
Capt. HARNESS said that it was erroneously stated
that the drainage of the southern side of the metro-
polis would cost 500,0001. The cost would be only
241,0001., or, in round numbers, 250,0001.
Mr. HAWES said that it would be requisite to bor-
row 250,0001., and this had been, by mistake, pub-
lished 500,0001. He was anxious to guard against
misapprehension on that point.
The following works were then ordered by the
Court :-450 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Webber-
street, Southwark, cost 441.; 250 feet of 15-inch
