from the minutes of the Workhouge; Committee that an
investigation had been made into a charge brought by-the
chaplain against Mr. Fleetwood, a Romanist priest visit-
ing the house, of having interfered with a Protestant
patient, and proselytised. Mr. Fleetwood, on being.called
before the committee, had stated that he had, eeveral
weeks before, declared the man to be a Romanist, and
wished the ticket placed abaci ids head to be altered, but
no attention had been paid tout. This allegation had
been inqiired into,-and a resolution passed,-" That, in the
judgment of this committee, the Rev. Wm. Fleett-ood did

the subject to be deferred-te next spring, in-consideration
of the lateness of the .season. Mr. Lockett remarked that

an-application from tte owners of the Franklin I _
shed accommodation at -the, east quay of the Waterloo
Dock, the Harbour Masters Sub-committee report that
they not think it advisable-to provide a shed there.—
The following report, addressed to Mr. Mason, was read:—
" Harbour-masters' Office, 80th July, 1803.—Sir,—A;, in-
structed by the Harbour-master's -Sub-committee, I •re-
paired on board the steamer Sea Nymph, and saw the
small engine of three-horse power .at work, the original
intention of which was to pump the water into the boilers.
It has since been applied to pumping the steamer and the
fire-engine hose. The winch at the main hatchway has
also been connected by a long shaft above the deck,-which
is a saving of five or six men, as well as increased despatch.
It could as easily be applied to the winches at 'the three
hatches, by extending the shaft, as the one, had it power
enough to work -.them all. It seems admirably adapted
for the purposes intended, and I consider there is no great
risk of fire arising from working it in the docks so long as
coke is used for fuel.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant,
Jome GAnsiss, jun., -Harbour-master." —The committee
next proceeded to the iv-appointment of sub-committees:
—The Chairman explained that the new sub-committees
would not come into office before Thursday next, but it
was thought desirable by many gentlemen to re-appoint
at the present meeting.—The following sub-committee:
were then chosen i—Sub-committee on 'Works: Messrs.
Shand, Steele, Langsdale, Rankin, Hohne, Evans, and
Smith.— Warehouse Management: Messrs. Robinson,
Evans, Holden, Brocklebank, Healing, and Barber.
Marine Department : Messrs. Lockett, Tobin, Brockle-
bank, Royden,and Littledale.—Harbour-masters: Messrs.
Lockett, Gregson, Holden, Malcomson, Chaloner, Roun-
thwaite, and Smith.—Master- Porters: Messrs. Robin-
son, Steele, Barber, Malcomson, Gladstone, Bigham, and
Rounthwaite. Finance : Messrs. Molyneux, Rankin,
Healing, Bigham, Chaloner, and Gladstone.—Parlianzen-
tary : Messrs. Rankin, Langsdale, Shand, Gladstone, and
Littledale.—Mr. Gladstone threw out the suggestion that
in any future application to Parliament it might be desir-
able to consider the question, of increasing the number
of members of the Dock Committee. He said it seemed
to him that 24 gentlemen, supposing they devoted a fair
portion of time to the discharge of their public duties,
were searcelyrsufficient to deal with the important inte.
rests of the dock estate.—Some conversation followed relit.
tive to a site for salt-water baths, Mr. Gladstone having:
intimated to the committee that the Town Council had
deferred the consideration of this matter until the views
of the Dock Committee were ascertained; Ultimately, at
the suggestion of Mr. Gladstone, the matter was referred
to the Committee Qf Works to report upon.
