TRI 0011110 A CUM QUICITUM

With regard to the impending trial of the case of
Sir Frederick Johnst ,ne •. Wallis an another. Mr.
BROWN pro emed. and Mr. H 188.4 • cooled. that
camas.' should be employed to watch the interests of
the town whom the cam o in.. on for hearing.
Mr. It.,sems said he leered able would be the Heat
etepiog smite in • matter to what they could not tell
where it would leadoni therefore it Ira. very necesesry
to he catalog!. What would be the advahtare of
having • watching counsel? lie was opposed to
paving a barrister for simply looking nu.
The Tows CLERIC sail he did not know anything
about tbe 'notion until Mr. Brown introduced it. A
watching brief w odd be hell by a barrister, who
would lush after the interests of • third party.
Mr. Moults% th night the expeom would not end
simply with the watching, and said he shoudt like to
know if there were any rock, to tomb), over. (A
laugh.) tie thoutht if they gays • watching brief the
barrister would require • refresher.
Ur. liaise sail be felt, al • very large majority of
the inhabitiente did, that the action !Maul i be
watched in the interest of the town, and he believed
• reeolation to that effect would give much satisfac-
tion. He dld cot believe it wool I lead to great
expense, and the Town Clerk bed told them that it
Cal a newel step to take. It would not be assisting
Mr. Wallis, but would bo watching the interests of the
town, and be believed a great deal of good would
arias Oat. 01 it.

—Mr.lldimn FlewAao said M. Wallis hisi told
them that he wee taking up the matter in the
int.reste of the town, and if they engaged & watching
barrister he oonsidered it would be like setting a
policeman t watch another polimman. Re did not
consider it warn • case in which to give • watching
brief. _

Mr. Mown contended that if they had neglected
their duty in the past, they were I, 'nod to watch the
Interseie of the town now. fie wal not going to be
ruled or regulated by Mr. Wallis in the wetter, but
their duty wet to take care of the Interesta of the
town. and he thought that • Watchiog Committee WA,
necsessry.
The TOWN CLZBIE said be shonlf have advised the
Council himself if be had thought it necessary to
employ oonusel, and If the Council considered it
newery and eagage4 a barrister, if they erred it
would be .ot the right side.
Mr. Alderman Goons thought it would be • waste
of monoy. . . _ _

An amen 'moot by Mr. Rousts, escioniel by Mr.
Alderman LONDIE, that counsel be not employed at
the forthcoming trial, but that the Council shoul,l
smelt a farther derelopement of the case, and then
