Mr. Dann! spoke as to the eligibility of the site re-

whether it would be large enough. He had no doubt
the Great Western Company would be conciliatory in
the matter.
Mr. COOMBS urged that they should take care to have
• site large enough for all likely requirements.
Dr. ALDallxis thought that in regard for the interests
of the town, the markets should not be taken too far
away.
Mr. F. Bseixrr seconded Mr. Galpin's proposition.

Mr. Manor suggested that Mr. Jowett should also

This was agreed to, and the motion passed.
HOAD ACROSS Till SOUSII WALKS.
The next business was to consider the advisability of
continuing the Wollaston Field road across the South
Walk, and as to sanctioning the opening of • gateway
at the coroner of his premises by Mr. Longman.
Mr. BISHOP asked if the two questions were connected-
The MATOI said if certain arrangements were made,
he understood there would be no difficulty made about
Mr. Longman's geieway.
Mr. Coolies said the two things were distinct, and
they had kit to oonsider as to the toed 1
Mr. VIRNON asked if it was not decided three or four
menthe ago not to make • road across the walk?

majority against it.
Mr. SYMONDS : At the last meeting the reading of a
report of the General Purposes Committee was objected
to, and the matter was ordered to he put on the paper
fie this meeting.
The Mitres suggested that the report should now be
read.
Mr. Stenos, objected that it would be irregular.
Mr. COOMBS Mid no this being a quarterly meeting,
and it was necessary to have the report that they might
know the fates a the case.
Mr. Bistrue insisted that reading the report wor.Ll be
an irreguierity-(voioes, " No, no,-)
Mr. VIRSOM: How is it irregular?
Mr. Mellor : The matter was referred to the General
PatlrT cotutuitte irregularly-

Mr. BISHOP: That I hope to do; I shall be delighted
Umy statements can be cus.trovertssd. The matter was
not on the agenda paper for the meeting preview, to
the List-there was an adjournment of that Council to
the walks, where they met to decide mime question with
regard to Mr. Longman's prolussui gatewey. Several
of the members went, lied then arose the project of
making a road across the south walk. But that was no
pert of their business then to consider-they were not
Instructed or authorised in ens way to discuss H-
ide COOnne: Are you cure?
Mr. Mamie Quite; they made a report-Mr.
Symonds was not there, but Mr. Lek instructed him
as to what took place, and on th.tt the General Purposes
committee were called on to make • report. That was
produced at the last meeting. Under such circumstances
to all intents sad purposes that report was ignored-
(Cries of "No, no.)
Mr. °LIST, said the Council adjourned from here,
and the Mayor addressed • note to Mr. Pope, asking
him to meet them as to forming the road by hi, house
and reapecting Mr. Longman's gateway. To Mr. Bishop
he said You will go down with us rand he answered
Not yet." Now that meeting was an adjournment of
thesCounoil a, elbody, and it could nut be said that those
who were present had no right to do this or that.
Mr. COOMBS : Do please tell me what is the meaning
of all this special pleading?
Mr. BISHOP: Nothing at all.
Mr. Cocain : Then stop it ; there is • notice that the
subject will be considered, and it is merely idling time
to try to keep out the report of a isonanittee who have
delibethet upon the question--(hear, hear).
Mr. BISHOP objected to the report being revived.
Dr. ALDRiees said he thought no personal feeling
should be introduced. Let them discuss the matter on
its merits. He thought it would be found best to make
• reed across the walk.

the question now is about the report, and not about the
road.
Dr. ALDRIDGE: I thought the question about the
report was dispostri of, I move that the report be

Mr. GALPIS : I second it.
Mr. Blew'?: I have no objection.
