Mr. Prince. Mr. H. Prince had been much surprised to find the profession accepting tho principle that piles in a foundation were for the purpose of carrying weight; that they transmitted directly the weight of a structure through a soft unreliable stratum to a more soliJ one below; or in other words, that piles were looked upon as Mr. Prince, so many legs on which the structure was to stand. This appeared to be a mistaken and unscientific theory. He had been taught, and still maintained, that the object to be kept ip view in using piles in a foundation was the consolidation of the strata or soil on which the structure was to rest. The portion of strata to be consolidated was first surrounded with sheet piling to prevent lateral escape, and in the soil thus enclosed a sufficient number of piles were driven to impart the necessary consolidation by compression. If piles could be drawn and the spaces left by them filled with concrete this should always be done. Mr. G. W. Sutcliffe observed that the time during which the Mr. Sutcli"e. experiments mentioned ip the Paper had been continued was nut given, but it w,as a most important eloment, especially in experiments on a small scale. All materials when damp would remain in a vertical position unsupported for a short time, the height of vertical face varying with the character of the material; obviously, within the limit of height of possible vertical face no active pressure against a wall could be expected until by the access of air, weather, &c., a change had taken place.
