PROCEF.DINgR IN PARLIAMENT ON THE

LIVERPOOL LOCAL BILLS

The Sanatory Regulations Bill, the Paving, Sewer-
age, and Watering Bill; the Water Bill, the Harring-
ton Water-works Bill, and the Toxteth-park Improve-
ment Bill, having been referred by the committee of
selection to the South Lancashire lists with three selected
members, the proceedings commenced on Tuesday last.
The selected members were Mr. Ward, Mr. Gisborne,
and Mr. M'Geachy. The Corporation, the Highway
Commissioners, the Liverpool and Barrington Water

Company, and the Commissioners of Toxteth--park, were
respectively represented by counsel. The Sanatory Re-
gulations Bill was first discussed. A petition was pre-
sented against it from the Toxteth-park Commissioners,
and another from the Abattoir Company. Mr. Austin
stated the case for the Corporation. Mr. Serjeant Tal-
ford, for the Highway Commissioners, said his clients had
prepared two bills, with a view of effecting some of the
principal objects proposed by the present bill, but having
6y a recent public meeting ascertained the feeling of the
inhabitants, they would not persist in their own bills, on
the understanding that a clause should be introduced in-
demnifying them for all expenses, in which case he should
cffer no opposition. Mr. Rushton, the magistrate, gave
evidence showing the necessity for the municipal regula-
tions which the bill provides. This bill, so far as be
knew, had been prepared in entire conformity with the
recommendations of the sanatory commissioners, as far as
they were applicable to Liverpool, with such modifications
as local circumstances rendered necessary. No important
regulation was omitted for the cleanliness and health of
the town, and it was inconvenient that the duties thereto

appertaining should be confided to different bodies. What
was elicited from Mr. Rushton in cross-examination tended
to confirm his evidence in chief. Mr. J. Lawrence and
Mr. H. G. Harbord were examined at great length.—Ori
Wednesday, the inquiry was resumed, the Chairman con-

_
fining it to the question of jurisdiction between the Town
Council and the Toxteth Commissioners, excluding for
the present the question of the Water Works Company.
Mr. ArobroFe Lace was called on behalf of the promoters,
and concurred with Mr. Rushl
effects of a divided jurisdiction
