Game was no other person to whom I could apply for an
'rill:it-alio you ere wrong in essinning that you have
a discretion to give or withhold from me, as a Councillor,
Information which I think in my discretion, will enable
me the better to perform the duti eof my ogles. If a
Town Clerk were to ?meets such a disenaleon he would
be enabled to we it to such a moaner as to maks him a
greater Autocrat than the Emperor of all the &miss.
I fancy I have, as • Town Councillor, certain duties
and certain rights, and I hope I shall not give offence
to any one in mating that I must be allowed to decline
their being defined by the Town Council or the Town
Clerk.
Thanks for your letter of yesterday. I assume the old
Charters and Bo4s you refer to, to be those I saw at
the Town Hall last week, when your clerk went down
with me If not please inform me.
I enclose notices of motions as promised, and regret I

Mr. ANDREWS oontioned : How Ma I tell what dam-
meats I went to Sanaa unless I as. them. When the
Town Clerk wrote that letter be did not know what
documents he had in his poinesidoes If we are sitting
here to do our duty we eight to be Ins position to
have sews to all deeds and papers whisk would enable
Rs to discharge it. The question which is now agitating
the Coaxal is a most serious oee, and therefore it is
that I ass unable to bring biters you this resolution
without having those books and papers. I wish it most
distizetly understood, that I decline to surrender
my rights to seethe« documents. lii. a right I have,
and a right I must exercise before I can put this
motion before you. I am sure it is the wish of the
Council that we should approach this question and do
our duty to the town without injuring • private indi-
vidual. I make no complaint against the Town Clerk.
The MAYOR called the attentioa of Mr. Andrews to
the words of the motion.
Mr. ANDRETIS : It is necessary for me and you
to ban the papers befogs us, in order that we may
oonalor this question. I decline to submit to this
bawd whither I shall shall soothes* papers or not.
The MAYOR: I think it is right S. have some explana.
Son before the Council come to a decision on this
matter. Am Ito understand that you will propose this
resolution, or male observations with* you will leave
the Council to answer or not?
Mr. ANDRZWB : To enable me to move that
resolution, it is necessary that I should have
certain documents which contain certain informa-
tion, width information it is nearmary should
be before the Board, for them to madder
the question. I anderetood the Clerk to say
that he meld not produce these papers without
the authority of the Board. lam certain of one thing
that the Conseil will not wish to smolder the question
blindfold, therefore I ask, before moving the resolutioo,
for thit production of those
Tho MAYOR : Doss Mr. A= want the resolution
of the Council of the 7th Jaiteary, 1860. or that the
while of the deonmeets in the Clerk's posesesion
should be laid on the table before he is. move the
resolution? It is got (dear to my mind.
Mr AIIDRZWS: I feel it is necesearyforwetobave
certain books and piped before Ima plies this motion
In ita proper light.
The MAYOR risked if Mr. Andrews would suggest what
documents be required?
Mr. Lenitive: To enable me to pat that motion,
and for the Connell to sonalther if it is necessary to make
any •Iterations, it is essential that they should have

to see any books or papers appertaining to tho
that are in the Town Clark's pos.

tioa before then..
Alderman Couto believed, as a Council, they bad •
Tighe to inspect all books belonging to them, but not
Mr. Loco disputed that Mr. Andrews had a
right to peruse the papers. If such was the case they
might have such a thing as a legal gentleman being in
the Council, who might go in marsh of were which
would prove very prep' Soul Ito their Interest,. If the
Council allowed such • thing he thought it would be •
very dangerous practice.
The MAYOR inquired if Mr. Andrew, intended to move
the resolution in the words on the paper.
Hr. kissiews replied that he did He only waited to
do so. He was not sating here in his legal eamicity.
The bergamot of the town bad thought proper to sea
him to represent theta In Canoed. and be would not
surrender his rights.
Mr. Devious' wanted to know if Mr. Andrews in-
tended to move the resolution to-day or this day twelve
mouth.
Mr. ANDINWS said be had asked the Town Clerk to
produce satin docaselleall, and be (Hz. Andrews)
would not submit his right to the Board. In reply
to Mr. Dilvieldlih, he gated that he would name the
doeuments, and th-si proceeded to name Site charters,
two only of which were noticed in the ease put before
the eounool. A 'so esrliiin books which the Town Clerk
stated in his Wiser to Mr. Bonn of the Sad of
September, he was not aware were in his posesedoe,
and other books named by Mr. Andrews—all of which
he thought the comae] should have had before him in
order that from the information which they would dis-
close he would have been able to consider and
arrive at a correct decision upon the motion before
bins .

Ma. AIIIDRIWS replied that it would not take ten

the meeting that the papers would be wanted. If the
Clerk will not produce them I elan know what to do.
Mr. SIMONDS mid he could not furnish the, to Mr.

table Use boolui and papwo that he (Mr. Andrews asked
for. The Council o.sld now dud with the gaieties ma
they pleased.
After same further conversation as to whether Mr.
Andrews, as • private individual of the Council, bad a
right to impart the papers he asked for, and the Town
Clerk being asked for baa Opilooo, he said his view of
the matter was that Use moment the Caused beaks Up
the Councillors became burgesses, and nothing more. It
WU epee tide ground that he had acted throughout—
that all the acts of the Council were to be 'swarmed by
a majority.
Mr. &wow remarked that there was no clause In the
Municipal Act which would cosier such • right ma Mr.
Andrew. 'gamed.
Mr. APPIZWII mid he had a right which be would
not allow the Causal or their elea to take away from
him, but at Use same time he quite agreed with all that
had bees said by the Town Clerk.

Hodges remarked that if no are moved for the produc-
tion of Use papers then the question would fall to the

Mr. Deviates seemeded the proposition.
