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 Liverpool 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 9f- engines
shall be constructed so as to prevent or cons e" their own
smoke; and if any person shall use any fu ce which shall
not be so constructed, or shall negligen use any such fur-
nace without using the best practical ans for preventing or
counteracting such annoyance, e such person so offend-
ing shall forfeit a sum not exc ng .W 5 for every day during
which such furnace or anno ce shall be used and continued
after one month's notice.
2. That this meeting is oat desirous to conform to the re-
quirements of this Cl e, to the best of their ability and of
their understanding.
3. That in the o nion 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-
"eYs, 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
Eractical men that, up to the present moment, science has not
en 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.
A 5. That many methods have been tried with a greater or less
megree of success ; but that the construction of Furnaces, Boil-
rst
aids Flue, Chimneys, and the nature of the works carried on by
heir are of so varied a character, that no one plan can be
aPPlied with similar results, to so many widely differing cir-
cumstances.
That this Meeting is consequently led to the conclusion
that the words in the clause,." without using the best practia-
ble means," were purposely introduced into the Act, with the
eOress object of preventing the possibility of a too arbitrary
construction thereof, on the part of those to whom the carrying
°la of the Act is entrusted.
rs„7. That unfortunately this considerate provision, on the part
the framers of the Act, has been rendered of no effect by the
4.,'"'ocie in which it has been interpreted, and by the decisions
iTl,,sequent upon such interpretation, which have been
w„au,,o in the Police-court, where it has been held that the
1 "Ns, "using the best practicable means, "have, in effect, no
Irllger
; on
protective meaning, because the official witness
to -,Ydied on such occasions by the Corporation thinks proper
. 8n That
that the measure is practicable in all cases.
pry I.hat this Meeting is at a loss to understand upon what
aeknPle of justice the opinion of one. individual. should be
co4(2wledged as conclusive evidence in the decisions of a
irnioe'n°f
_Justice, in a matter of such vital importance to the
supoorr interest of this vast Manufacturing. Community; un-
vvhieh as they believe that opinion to be, in the extent to.
Or practical arried, by the testimony of any creditably scientific
9.,,,individual in tbe Kingdo.m.

and doconsuiiie a
tliZe,,troPortionol eSms oakee produced in their Furnaces, al-
Xeni i at an enormous sacrifice of Steam Power, and conse-
„ ncreased expenditure of Fuel, and serious injury to the
eyi4eere and Fire-bars,—still they are aware that the very best
exert;hitherto adopted is but imperfect and that their best
oceortrlnt are frequently frustrated, sometimes from accidents
Merle e: to the Bridges, Flues, &c., sometimes from attrios-
freto ,_
_uses., over which they have no control, and sometimes
the A;g„ict:al difficulties which cannot be totally overcome ; that
Dossibleaad
seis:Vl lilties are so much increased in the case of steam yes-
beiterisrona the necessarily confined spaces available for the
furnaces, as to render the matter utterly im-
Tha t
and sinci sufficient allowance has not been made for these
cIALLy ar difficulties,—that bodies of Police have been SPE-
arious frnpl.oyed day by day to watch the Chimneys in the
uistricts of the town,—that informations have been
'lon called
wherMinionses granted, and convictions enoued in many cases
Iruvi'nt'utehaeccusedparty has been deprived of all chance of dis-
assertions of the Police from not having his atten-
Nren week_ by them to the fact at the time, many days. and
Suoitoo__ b) having frequently elapsed between the date. of the
eoirooit?es‘iand the: day on which the offence was said to be
creasel "I'
at these Informations have of late been made with in-
and anq Vexatious frequency, and have become so harassing
intolerabl "ty 0, „ eto the manufacturing community as to impress
etoit,,J.,,,lern with the fear of being driven to the necessity of
12. new Establishments, or removi. Ing them to other localities.
