lllC OOlIIiIllUCC lOlliII no IGtSDu I'D propose
amelldmrn S to The Draft with regard to
the term of 3 weeks mentioned hy the hon.
Durable 2nd Member for Christilnsted's
Country District {COnlter it is not said
that tn survey, when requested. shall not
be made before 3 weeks after, but that it
shall be made at latest within that time,
and it is moreover expressly enjoined that
it shall be effected with such despatch that
NJ unnecrSS Try delay is thereby caused.
1t must be remembered that there might
be several tests to be made at one time,
and the experts must certainly be allowed
the necessary t me. At any rate, it will
be the duty Of the Policemasters to sec
thar no unnec 'SSary delay occurs. With
regard to ties $ by hamnering, he still be-
lieyed nat is requisite to give the experts
libet ty to use that method in cases where
it is considered necessary to do so; the
Committee has, however, merely made q
suggestion for consideration 10y Government.
he G0CeFnOr was en- irely of the same
opinion as she honorable 3rd Member for
ChriStianStel (WaSsard and would mere
ly add, that generally speaking those sur.
yeyS will be made as quickly as possible;
it must not be forgotten that the experts
will have other business besides to dis.
charge, and if we were to follow the Sug-
gestiOl Of the hOnnurabie 2nd Member for
ChriStianStedS Country District Coulter,
it would be necessary to employ men solely
for that purpose. AS regards tests by
hammeling, it is necessary that it should
be open 10 experts to use that mode of
trial whenever they deem it requisite, but
of . they will do it with caution, and
there would therefore scarcely be any evil
proc, eling tom it
2nd Mpmheg FIR ChriStianSted'S Country
District CJuiterl would only say in refer.
rnce to those 3 weeks, that if it be SO UNI
drrSt .0d rhIt it shall be the longest term,
he would not have 50 much objection to it ;
but then, the Government should not pre-
vent the party from using the boiler i'll the
mrartime.
4th Member for Christiansted'S Country
Dis rict Raphael said he thought that in
the case OF the titSt test OF a boiler, the
term OF 3 weeks for completing the tests
would not mItieI mach, as it would mostly
be in the fall of the YER, when the boiler
won Il not be so mach required. But sup
pose thai som thing should happen in the
course of the crop, and a survey was to be
ma IL, he should like to know, if the ex-
prrtS, who might perhaps just ut that
very timt also have Very much to ito of
thelr work, and cannot spare time to
make the survey, are still to be waited on
for ; W. ek>, or perhaps longer, us the mat
ter would have to be- reported Perhaps
it VAS but a triting defect and speedily
Tpmrdied, would il be necessary to wait up
to 3 weeks uLtil The experts could make
the Irrry, during which time the owner
might want the list of the boiler.
he Speaker stated that when such ex-
traoWlinary survey was demanded it could
generally b. held very soon, as during the
crop IN y few -urveyS would be requested
ANA it would lest with the PolicemaSter
10 look HIT the test took place in proper
time; thereby unnecessary delay will be
avoided.
