4741-VCI -0;/-13-ARLIAlliEfT. —There is 008 still in
force, intituled "An Act for the better and more
easy rebuilding of the town of Wareham. in the
County of Dorset, and for determining differences
touching houses and buildings burnt down or de.
molied by fire, by reason of the late dreadful fire
there, and for preventing future danger by fire."
The Act vests extensive powers in the Mayor for the
time being, and various Doreetabire noblemen and
gentlemen, whose names were then (upwards of 100
ago, and still are, of high standing in society), as
oommiasioners for carrying out the Act. That part
of it which devolved special duties on them only
continued in force for ten years, from May 1763;
but that part relative to future building was made
perpetual, and is still in force. The Act waa passed
in oousequenoe of a dreadful fire, which happened co
Suaday, the 26th July, 1762, and consumed the
greatest part of the town.

on Saturday, the expediency of providing a good
fire engine was discussed, and the Mayor stated that

towards the object. The principle objection raised,
arises from the fear (judging the present by pest air-
caunstanoss), that it would not be taken proper
care of.
