RATING Till QUAYN.—We have TOSIOG to believe
that the ratepayers of the parish of St. James feel
great indignation at the unjustifiable conduct of the
overseers and churchwardens, in entering upon an
expensive and unprofitable law suit, without cow
suiting in the least the feeling of the parishioners,
many of whom are resolved in some way to give ex.
pression to their feelings of dissatisfaction at the
unhandsome manner in which they have been
treated by the animals. We can only hope that the
latter gentlemen will ponder over the matter,
forbear from carrying on proceedings so pre.
judielal to the interest of the town.
