Mr. ROC:%ICI.I. Bid they had already spent 100
guineas in empi-ying Mr. Brereton, an I be did not
think it waa necessary t have him down again. He
moved—" 'Nat he he not attired t attend the mooting,
a. he believed the Floroogh Surveyor was capable of

Mr. CH/ALLS said if ever the qtpeatioti were brought

the benefit of the G. W.R. he should oppose it.
Mr. Aldermen Euor prop iee I, and Mr. N.NOLI

Brereton, be thought they (the compa iy) ehould pay
the piper.
Mr. Wacus said he believed the company knew
better what they wanted than Mr. Beeiaton °fluid tell
them, and be thought if the c impeny'y officials came
d 'ern and told the council what they wantel, they
could afterwards meet Mr. Brereton ; but if they I ai
Mr. Brereton down before, the company would fancy
they bad plenty of money.
Mr. Loent. thought if they rl-clded to a 'opt the
scheme, they would rerptire Mr. Brereia's attondance ;
but if they were content t • jr, on with the preens
moderate trade, then they did not require him.

Mr. NANOLII raid they wanted to know what the
compel! reqoired, and they had toll them in so many
wools that if they did not see the scheme they cull
not tell them, an -I why should they bide their light
under • bushel? The one who prepared th plait. was
the beet o e to explain them, and he did not thiuk
they ought to offer any objection to the company see-
ing them.

--iir..6l.•llLta @fit they had not • plan yet of what
thet inten 4e I to do, and if they showed the G. W. It
C kmn.iny Mr. Itrereton's plans, they would at once
say they wet, satisfied with them.
Mr. Dregs proposed that the reeoltition pissed on
the 28'h of August lest hi adhered to. In order to
