THE ALBERT MEMORIAL AND TAR °ANT/LAWRY
TORY 'I OWN COUNCIL. —After five weeks of
inactivity and supineness, in which nothing was
done (or suggested, nor even a meeting held for
deliberation, the Prince Consort's Memorial Fund
Committee of the Canterbury Town Council
assembled on Thursday, for the first time, under the
chairmanship of Alderman T. N. Wightwick, and
after some discussion adopted the following report:
—" It is ordered, that, as considerable time has
now elapsed knee the propriety of calling a public
meeting was first discussed, and as the interest
which was originally felt in this movement has in
a measure subsided, your committee have thought It
inexpedient to take any steps for a public meeting,
and beg to refer the question back again to the
to the council for final consideration." Are we to

taryiem throughout the country If so, what
becomes of the everlasting vauntings of the Dorset
Chronicle about the "Loyalty" and "Constitution;
