AT a MEETING of PARTIES using STEAM EN-
GINES and other FURNACES, interested in the question
'of Smoke Consumption, held on Monday, June 5, 1848, at the
'Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool,—
WALTER F. MAGGREGOR, Esq., in the Chair,—

t was unanimously resolved :-
1. That in the LiNferpool Sanatory Act, taking effect from Ist
January, 1847, there is a clause (126) relating to the consump-
tion of Smoke, in which occur the following words:—
"That all furnaces employed in the working of engines
shall be constructed so as to prevent or consume their own
smoke ; and if any person shall use any furnace which shall
not be so constructed, or shall negligently use any such fur-
nace without using the best practical means for preventing or
counteracting such annoyance, every such person so offend-
ing shall forfeit a sum not exceeding for every day during
which such furnace or annoyance shall be used and continued
after one month's notice.
2. That this meeting is most desirous to conform to the re-
quirements of this Clause, to the best of their ability and of
their understanding.
3. That in the opinion of this Meeting, the fair and honest
Meaning of the clause is, that they shall do their utmost to
consume, or prevent the emission of Smoke from their Chim-
neys, by adopting such methods as their own experience, or
that of others, shall point out to them to be most conducive to
the end desired, and most applicable to the peculiar circum-
stances of their respective establishments.
4. That it is a fact freely acknowledged by all intelligent
Practical men that, up to the present moment, science has not
been able to lay down any positive law, nor has experience dis-
covered any certain method by which this desirable end can be
effectually and universally accomplished.
5. That many methods have been tried with a greater or less
degree of success; but that the construction of Furnaces. Boil-
ers, Flues, Chimneys, and the nature of the works carried on by
their aid are of so varied a character, that no one plan can be
applied with similar results, to so many widely differing cir-
cumstances.
6. That this Meeting is consequently led to the conclusion
that the words in the clause, "without using the best practica-
ble means," were purposely introduced into the Act, with the
express object of preventing the possibility of a too arbitrary
construction thereof, on the part of those to whom the carrying
out of the Act is entrusted.
7. That unfortunately this considerate provision, on the part
of the framers of the Act, has been rendered of no effect by. the
mode in which it has been interpreted, and by the decisions
Consequent upon such interpretation, which have been
blade in the Police-court, where it has been held that the
Words, "using the best practicable means, "have, in effect, no
longer any protective meaning, because the official witness
Provided on such occasions by the Corporation thinks proper
to assert that the measure is practicable in all cases.
8. That this Meeting is at a loss to understand upon what
Principle of justice the opinion of one individual should be
acknowledged as conclusive evidence in the decisions of a
Court of Justice, in a matter of such vital importance to the
immense interest of this vast Manufacturing Community; un-
supported as they believe that opinion to be, in the extent to
which it is carried, by the testimony of any creditably scientific
Or Practical individual in the Kingdom.
8. That the Members of this Meeting have bestowed infinite
labour and pains, and expended very large sums of money, in
their anxious endeavours to conform to the Act ; and they are
ratified in being able to state that they can and do consume a
th rge proportion of the Smoke produced in their Furnaces, al-
clugh at an enormous sacrifice of Steam Power, and conse-
auent increased expenditure of Fuel, and serious injury to the
fioilers and Fire-bars,—still they are aware that the very best
"stem hitherto adopted is but imperfect, and that their best
oeXertions are frequently frustrated, sometimes from accidents
heheurring to the Bridges, Flues, &c., sometimes from atmos-
F erle causes over which they have no control, and sometimes
aro local difficulties which cannot be totally overcome ; that
difficulties are so much increased in the case of steam
eels,yes-
ho from the necessarily confined spaces available for the
tiers and furnaces, as to render the matter utterly im-
possible.
1t„1,2- That sufficient allowance has not been made for these
c"ta.' difficulties,—that bodies of Police have been sea-
va..,LLv employed day by
,day to watch the Chimneys in the
lairus
suts of ihe town,—that informations have been
mmonses granted, and convictions enoued in many cases
t'ne accused party has been deprived of all chance of dis-
tio_ving the assertions of the Police from not having his atten-
ev..t! called by them to the fact at the time, many days. and
commons
Weeks, having frequently elapsed between the date of the
and the: day on which the offence was said to be
Inmitted.
11. Th
creas„ at these Informations have of late been made with in-
stil,' intolerable
vexatious freuen and have become so Imposing
Jerable to the manufacturing community as to impress
cio,,g_r!! them with the fear of being driven to the necessity of
I,:ty_t_haetr Establishments, or removing them to other localities.
that ;2. t this Meeting is strongly impressed with the belief
that VON'as_ not the intention of the framers of the Sanatory Aet
arid clause should be enforced in so arbitrary, oppressive,
13 That
a manner.

SEYDE'S CAFE—RESTAURANT,
ANGLAIS ET FRANCAIS,
14 A, SOUTH JOHN-STREET.
MSEYDE, in presenting himself as Proprietor
• to the Patrons of this Establishment and the Public
of Liverpool generally, begs leave to state that, having been
educated in his profession by the celebrated UDE, when at
Crockford's, and at the late Earl of Sefton's (one of the greatest
epicures of his day), and possessing an experience of 24 years
as Cook in some of the principal establishments in this coun-
try, with confidence in his own abilities he trusts to impart a
much more recherche character to the Gastronomic Art than
is usually found in English systems. -
Among other distinguished noblemen, M. SEYDE has had
the honour to serve the present Earl Talbot, of Ingestre-hall,
the late Duke of Leeds, Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., of Tatton-
park, Cheshire, and Rowland Errington, Esq., brother of Sir
W. Massey Stanley, Bart., of Hooton-hall.
M. SEYDE begs to say, that a proper acquaintance with
Gastronomy as an art is not only most useful, but of great
importance to health ; and he will give Private Lectures on
the subject to select parties at their own residences. He also
purposes giving instruction to Ladies on their Cooking ar-
rangements and Dinner Tables, or to receive their Cooks for a
limited time for private tuition ; whereby Families would be
better served, and more economically than at present. By
this means he would also be of benefit to the poorer classes of
the neighbourhood, teaching Ladies and others who visit them
and dispense charity, the very great superiority of the French
modes of cooking, and the large saving effected by it.
Public or Private Dinners, Wedding Breakfasts, &c., &c.,
supplied in the first style, the Kitchen of the Eldon Rooms
being considered one of the best in Liverpool.
In thus offering himself to the service and favour of the
Gentry and Inhabitants of Liverpool, M. SEYDE will not fail
in his exertion to give full satisfaction to those who may en-
courage his talents and honour him by their support.
Apprentices taken with premiums ; and English Cooks, who
wish to make themselves proficient in their art, instructed.
