all the objections on their side lithe other party would do
'the same • but, the offer not being responded to, the bnsi-
. ness of the court was again resumed. The revision of the

the•effect that, during an inquest recently held on the
body of Henry Cooper, who was &mimed in the Stanley
Dock, it was said that, had there been alife-buoy available,
this. life mighthave been saved, and c,a.lling attention to the
want .of a lifetouoy at such dock, was rekrrod to the Har-
bear-masters' Committee.--Mr. Smith-cs,Ded attention to
the state of the new street at Wapping, which had not yet
been adopted ;,-.t.he traffic through it wasevery great, and,
if not completed soon, it would be in .such a situation
before being • adopted as to require repaving. The land
for its completion was required from the London and
Northwestern Railway Company, and be thought some
steps should • -be adopted to get possession of it.—The
Chairman said that many applications 'had :been made
the property ; the -company did not refuse to:give it up,
but they said they -could not do so until the nen, buildings
in course of erection were completed..—Mr. 'Smith said
the Dock Trust had given them up possession ,of all they
required, and it was their duty to let the Dock frrust have
the portion of land which they wanted.—The Chairman
said the company bad ,erected certain buildings to enable
them to remove their business from one side of the street
to the other. The only. question was whether they.had a
reasonable tine.—Mr. Shand thought they were„a little
cavalier in the matter.--flo reply to a question, ,it was
stated that the Health Cemmittee had refused .to afimpt
the street. The secretary was instructed to write to the
company, pointing out the inconvenience the Dock Trpst
was suffering from not .being; put in possession of the
buildings. This was the whole of the (general business.
