sergeant in charge. The nest thing 'on the Mord"
as they call it, will be to get the matter sanctioned
sad ordered at the next Quarter Sessions. Ii the
meantime we hope the authorities will select a sail-
side site for the erection of the building, and that
the latter wondering the cost estimated by the
County Surveyor will be not only substantial but of
a sufficiently artistic appearance, to entitle it to the
oogoomen of oraae,ental, or that at least it may be
an ornament to our Ireland. At present we are badly
off for public buildings.
