the term of one year, from the Ist of July inclusive, the Arious

tolls payable at- the gates and bars upon and by the sideofthe.
several roads situated on the north of the Thames," and under
the control of the Commissioners. There were present, the Earl
of Lincoln, who presided, Mr. Holmes, M.P., Mr. R. L. Jones,
Commissioners, and Sir T. M'Adam. The tolls were put up at
the sums for which they were respectively let at the present time,
and which were stated as follows :—The Kensington, Brentford,
and Isleworth roads, at 15,935/. ; the Tyburn and Uxbridge roads,
at 8,060/. ; the Harrow roads, at 1,4601 ; the Kilburn and Edg.
ware roads, at 4,116/. ; the Highgate and Hampstead loads, at
17,020/. ; the City road, at 3,0301. ; the Stamford.hill, the Green
Lanes, and Seven Sisters' roads, at 11,0301.; and the Hackney
and Lea.bridge roads, at 6,0001. Mr. Lyon, the solicitor to
the Commissioners, upon the first toll being put up, said
that, in consequence of the intended improvement at Chel-
sea, the Bill in reference to which was now going through the
House of Lords, some bar would be removed. The roads, however;
would be offered at the sum they were now let for, and the Com-
missioners were willing to take the trust, should there be no bid.

Highgate and Hampstead-roads, on which the additional bar bad
been stationed, Mr. Lyon remarked, that the Commissioners
would make the first offer, and which. was 17,5001. Mr: Levy
observed that four coaches had recently gOne off that road, and
there was a prospect, upon other railroads being formed, that many
others would follow, yet the Commissioners increased the rent 5001.
They were knocked down for 17,520/., Mr. Levy being the ',slyer.
The Harrow road found no bidder. The other roads realised
66,036/., being 845/. more than the amount at which they were
previously let. The biddings were timed by a minute sand-iciest,
three minutes being the time allowed between each bidding, when
the lot was knocked down. It was. said that the whole of the road.
