to return his thanks to those who did. He however
had done all he could W persuade hie eon from
corning forward, but it was of no tire. (A voioe :
"He is a disobedient boy.”) Mr. Conimins then
endeavoured to explain how the Council had treated
him, having put him in cificie as auditor, how they
had neglected to read the reports furnished by him
and his oolleague ; and of what be had done for the
working men, and some other things; but the dis-

meeting, and therefore he felt himself slighted. He
(Mr. Commina) thought the names of the absentees
from Council meetings should be published; from

On the proposition of Mr. TIZARD, seconded by
Mr. W. Cowlings, a vote of thanks was awarded to
the Ward Alderman for his kindness and courtesy
in conducting the election.
After Mr, lifittllnts had briegy acknotOrsl
the compliment,
Mr. Haciwerr congratulated the Ward Alderman
in seeing him feel the high position in whioh he was
now placed. He was much pleaaed with the result
of the election, although he must admit that he
was not one of the honest voters alluded to by Mr.
Walter Cotentin.. El e meinttined that the Council and
the tan" generally ought tOoongratulate themselves
that such &compact had been entered into,., that put
an mad to the diabolical prithiple of bribery, which
heretofore existed on an& nxisaions ea the present.
Mr. Haggett could not :nand further, for his
last observation caused the greatest disturbance, be
being in turns hooted, Ithesed, and cheered, inter-
spersed with cries of "Tern him out." The Ward
Alderman in vain endeavoured be restore order, but
his etortatione to be orderly had no egad on the
great unwashed. Whoa st kaiak • litti.otder was
restored, t it cc
Mr. W. Cowarnat ssid vat slffstoni.he4
that an old townsman like Mr. d make
sueh a remark.
Aimee% cheers, and groans, again followed, in the
midst of whieh Mr. Haggett,vrte heard to my that
those vindictive feelings fell on him as water 011 a
duck's back. He hoped they would be able to look
other in the face and se* • friend and brother.
Amidst the greatest disturbance, Mr. jr,, Com.
mina again swayed to address the meeting, but the
confusion was so great that in the midst of his
remarks, the Ward Aldertele end Assessors, and the
more respectable portion of the electors present left
the hall.

Thia brought the proceedings of the day to s
olose, after which paw end order were again
restored.
