was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Holmes, that the dock
should be lengthened according to the plan proposed by the
deputation from the Ship-builders' Association. John Pro-
bert, who has been a dock-gate man for 29 years, and is now
aged G 6, being infirm, was allowed an allowance of 15s. per
week, for three months. An application from Mr. Hugh
M'Bride, master of Clarence Dock, for the appointment of

a graving dock foreman, and recommending Nelson Dunlop,
was referred to the Harbour Masters' Sub-Committee. The
Dock Solicitor reported, that notice had been given of the
intention to apply to Parliament for several bills which would
affect the interests of the dock trust; he was instructed to
watch those bills and to report thereon. The consignee of
the steamer Nithsdale, applied for the shed at the west end
of the north side of Clarence Graving Dock to be boarded up
for the safety of the goods placed therein.—Ordered on the
report of the surveyor that the cost would amount to only
£3O. The North Harbour Master reported that the work-
ing of the system for the accommodation of the New York
liners in the 'Waterloo Dock had been satisfactory ; and it
was referred to the Harbour Masters' Sub-Committee. to
