currence of the Council when he said that his Wor-
ship eminently deserved the vote of thanks which
he had then the honour of proposing. (Hear) They
were much indebted to Mr. Manfleld for the kind-
ness, attention, and ability which invariably marked
his transaction of public business; and he was cer-
tain that a cordial and unanimous vote of thanks to
him for his valuable services wee what the Council
would most readily and willingly record. (Applause.)
