Case for the opinion of Mr Jessel on liability for payment of costs for promoting the Cambridge Improvement Bill The case for the opinion relates to whether the expenditure ordered by the sub-committee are binding to the general body of the commissioners; whether the minutes of the board that said the report of the sub-committee was read and confirmed are conclusive; and whether the costs of an intended application to parliament for additional powers can be deemed costs of executing the existing powers of the Improvement act. 15 Mar 1871
