Hamburg, April 2nd. Since my last letter the State of Hamburg has sustained a severe loss through the death of the chief magistrate for the present year Bargowmaster Dr. Monckeberg whose decease after a few days illness on the 27 of Marsh is deeply regretica by the entire population. He belonged to an old Hamborg family and was born in 1839, the son of Ir. Karl Monckeberg, pastor of Bt. Nicolai Kirche, his mother being a member of the well known Schroeder family. After having passed through the grammar soboal of this city ke studied law at Heidelberg and Göttingun where he took his degree es

which they considered needed revision in view of the report of the Commission. With regard to the amendment-proposed by my bon learned friend on my right I think the potat be has raised is an important ons and I can probiss that it shall receive the meat careful consideration of the Government. Is said that a deadlook was reached when there occurred divergence of opinion between the person desiring to carry out the work or his architect and the Bailding Authority as to the interprets tion of the law but that, I think, is hardly correct description of the existing condition of affairs since there is of conres an appeal to the that I had born comewhat lacking in courtesy. I said that this matter had been debated before Governor-in-Council, who is advised by the It was se foreign to my thoughts to be in any and I observed there had been considerable Aitoires General as to his decision in any wey discourteous to the gentlemen who for sopposition to the proposal and if it appeared at ruling. I don't say that that would be entirely long contributed so maob of their private time present that the pranimo opinion of the satisfactory from a legal point of view as s to in public interest on that Commission that unofficial ment era was against that proposal ruling by the Supreme Court. It has the I would wish most emphatically to disclaim any I shall not be prepared to insist upon grest merit that it involves no cost to either intention on my part whatever to have been it. At the same time I must say that party and it is speedy and final. guilty in the remotest degree of any discourtesy to them: How far the Evo unofficial embers of the Sanitary Board could be representa Live of the commpuily or how far any five gentlemen in this community may be entirely representative where there are such a variety of interests involved is a matter of opinion But it is a matter of bistory that my predeous sor appointed-those gortlemen. originally na Committee of the Sanitary Board, which was afterwards extended to a.

In the second plan I have it noted that I was to error in saying thar the members of the Commision bad not access to the confidential documents which passed between the Secretary of Stat Throughout the repor toda the Governor. the Committee in the papore which studied on this subject there was bo Indication what- over that they bad access to coulder tial despatches.

Further, it has been stated that Sir Matthew Nathan repeatedly saw the Chair man of the Commission and had discussions with him from time to time us to the progress of their investigations. I regret sery mach that no record has been left of what transpired on these occasions, but it is perfectly clear from the fact of his having bad these discussions and from the fact that he accepted the report that he intended to deal with it as though it had been entirely within the terms of reference. And that is the attitude I har myself adopted, and the proff of it is that we are here-to-day discussing the second reading of the Amending Bill, whether it was within the original terms of referenes or not. I may add that whether or not they were within the recommendo- tion, be it great or small, that there in that raport has been set aside ou that ground. Every single recommendation or anggestion has been considered on its merits not it was with- irrespectiva of whether or in the precise terus of the reference. It is not usual gentlemen that a perch which is made in this Council should be debated by any public body outside the Council before it has been replied to in this Chamber.
