The TaialDr.;T, addressing the mewls:roof the Southern
Branch of the British Medical Association, said that,
before he vacated the chair and retired in favour of bis
successor, he had it duty to perform o which be would
endeavour to do in as few worols as possible. De
had to thank the branch of tire association' for
the distinguished honour they hart conferred upon hun
in appointing him to preside over the meeting at South-
ampton this time last year. Front painful circumstances
it was impossible for loim to fulfil his engagements and
discharge the duties he had undertaken to perform, and
for the consideration, kindness, and indulgence shown
him upon that oceasion, Ire was very glad of this oppor-
tunity to tender to this branch of the Association inert
heartfelt thanks. It was his consolation then, oy, it was
now, to find the Association suffer:sot nothing from his
default, as his place was taken by one wile dischargeol the
duties off 'the chair with roonspicueus ability, anal he
regretted his friend, Dr. °Aherne, was not present to
receive his public thanks for the hearty knolls.err', with
which he undertook too perform Isis duties at a very short
notice. Many gentlemen were aware hr di.eloarged his
duties with great elospuence and ability. Before he (the
Preeilient) retired, he was glad of this opportunity of
saying be war one of those who held very strongly to the
opinion that the British Medical Association war one of
inimense importers., to their profession. (Applause.) Ile
did not say 210 simply because it dirt so much tar support
the dignity, interest, and influence of their great pro-
fession, hut because he believed that in many ways,
perhaps which the public harstly appreciated, this great
Association materially (Greenlet the interest oof the
public, as he was certain of this- that whatever ended to
raise the stains, dignity. and edueatioonal level of the pro-
fessional nun, tended also to the bent-bit of the public ;he
was of opini ~,, the British Merlical .tssociation did these
things in a very eteiklug vray. If he were asked to give
instances of the beneficial .operatioons of this Acceiation
he would without any hesitation poisit to that influential
deputation which a few days ago waits:Al upon Donl
Carnarvon in reference to the Vivisection Bill. That
very able minister was then obliged to confess that no
more influential deputation had ever waited upon any
minister. With regard to that bill which had tee-heal
the interest of their profession no very much, he might
say that this had been the niatter of conversation
between him and some friends on his journey from
Southempton to this place, and upon that he wished to
say a few words, lie must confess he was one of those
who believed that hail it not been for that unfortunate
occurrence, when a French physiologist was inolund to
perform sense physiological experiments, almost in the
very presence of the public at Norwich, they would
never have heard anything about the Cruelty to
Animals Bill. (Applause.) Hut that great mistake
hut been made, and there was no more to be
said upon that point With regard to the bill
however, he thoeght in its influence, in its nmeeption,
and in its wonting, in its provisions, in its amended (non,
and re particularly in ita penal clauses, it was a mod
unfortunate meseoure. and one which reflected very mush
discredit on those who brought it forwanl. But the 1.111

From the report of the Council read by Dr. Cousins, we

After psyment of expenses the balance in hand amounted

worke—the subject being mentioned in the report. they
had better take it together. After the enquiry the other
day he walked round with Mr. Harrison. and presumed
he approved of this being done.
from his manner that
Mr. Harrison requested that the Mayor would send him
up the application for the loan of money for the purpose
of filling up this land as soon se possible, so that they
might go before the Board for the sum of .ell,OOO at the
same time. They might get permission to raise the
money. but it did not follow that they should spend it at
once. He (the Mayor) thought they should at once take
proceedings to remedy what was liable at any moment to
become a nuisance inside the embankment and also from
the mud outside the gas works, The proposed work would
also improve the harbour.
Mr. DKNNIS : Do understand, sir, that we want 0.000
In addition to that £B,OOO applied for before?
The MATOR said the two sums had nothing to do with
each other.
Mr. RORNATSON said there could he no doubt it would
be very desirable to fill in the place; but it was very
doubtful whether they should borrow £l.OOO for the
purpope. It was time to hold their hands, for it was first
necessary to go on with the Park question.
Mr. WALKEN said the inspector had been misled as to
the amount wanted for the Park; six times £lOO would
be required, if not more.
Dr. Dagw moved "That no application be made to the
Local Government Board for permission to borrow any
morey for filling up the enclosed land near the Gas
' Works." They were getting deeper and deeper into debt.
Mr. WALKILR seconded.
Mr. SNOOK had been told the Surveyor could keep the
place sweet without filling it up.
Mr WALLIS said he and Mr. THOMAS had been there,
and thought any nuisance could he abated by taking mud
from the sides and putting it in the centre, or by making
ditches__

The MAYOR said the embankment was part of the
sanitary scheme, and it was understood as a matter of
course that the land behind would be filled up. The
place all last summer gave him • wrest deal of anxiety,
and as their debt was now some .Ll,OOO or £4,000 less than
when the £25,000 was first raised, he did not see why
borrowing now should be considered a great burden. It
was no use to hold their hands, and he had heard Mr.
Robertson speak of the desirability of pushing ahead and
not being left behind in the race, or they would find them-
selves nowhere. With what Mr. Walker said about the
Park he agreed, that matter ought to be fairly tackled also
and Mr. Morgan had been most active in the matter.
Mr. Itoeicsesoe suggested adding the words "at present'
to Mr. Drew's motion, which the mover and seconder
agree to.
Mr. CHLULES said every one would like that place to be
filled in, but they were continually borrowing, and filling
up one person's land and another, and did not actually
get paid for the work done.
The MAYOR reminded the Board that if permission were
granted, there was no necessity to spend the money at
Once. _

Duni : If you put .noney into & boy's pocket, and
turn him out in the town, he will spend it in some way
before he returns.

The m—oii-On— as" ana en ded was carried : there will there-
fore be no application to borrow this /1800.

THE BOARD'S WORK FOR PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL&

Mr. CHARLES said be was surprised, after giving notice
Jot a !statement of the work done for private persona by
the Board, and also for a statement of the receipts for
the works so done, that, after a month's notice, it was
not on the agenda paper. From time to time he had been
met with this reply, that Mr. Seaman would not supply
the information, but Mr. Seaman bad told him (Mr.
Charles) that he was perfectly willing to do so.
The Tow's Ci_gax was quite prepared to give the fullest
particulars' he had sent over and over again to Mr.
.teamett to have a decisive answer one way or the other.
At least three times in one day be had sent.
Mr. CHARLES said Mr. Seaman told him this morning
that be had given the information. More than that, he
(Mr. Charles) put it more strongly to him—" Will you give
me leave to use your name, and say that you have done
so 1" And Mr. Seaman said "Yes."
The Tow's cum( said with regard to the tilling up of
cess-pools, every one had paid for the work except one
poor man who was burled by the parish. As to other
work, had lapolled to ever
thers had uyieodnit audkmttymhad act.. led
"I. CHARLES said be did not refer to cesspools alone;
he asked for a statement of all works done for private
individuals by the Surveyor since Sir John Coode's scheme
had been adopted, whether the work was a piece of pave-
ment, or tilling up land, or putting up a garden wall.
The Tow's CLEALIL said that Mr. Seaman had refused to
give any account. AU he (Mr. Staggall) had done wile in
his legal capacity.
Mr. CHARLES asked if any money was due at the present
time f
The Tows Cutest said Yes.

Mayor asked him to put no more on the paper than was

necessary.

The MAYOR said the matter quite escaped his memory:
it had not been left off intentionally.
Some more conversation followed, and it was agreed
that the notice should be put on the paper for the next
meeting.

Ir'snrethe people were wending their way down into the

all their produce before getting to Mr. Trim's, to go back
