THE BILL
" TO PROVIDE FOR THE REGULATION OF 7.117NWIPAL CORPORA- TIONS IN isswessm esro WALES."
One readers w ere last week put in possession of the main prin- ciples and provisions of the Ministerial measure of Corporation Reform. As the bill was not then out if' the hands of' the printer, we were obliged to lest satisfied with that rather meagre sketch of its details to be obtained from Lord JOHN RussEhs's opening speech. The bill itself is now before us; and we have spent some tine oti att attempt to present its most important and interesting points in an intelligible form to the general reader. Our object has been, in the first place, to state those provisions of the bill which apply generally to all the boroughs comprised in its scope ; and then to direct attention to its various modes of operation in different boroughs or classes of boroughs ; concluding with; a con- cise account of the powers of the Local Governments about to be established. We trust that our analysis will be found more read- able, and easy to be understood, than the bill itself; which is over- laid (Os usual) with legal verbiage, and is deficient in the arrange- ment and classification of the various subjects with which it deals. -
