RODS Al' KINVER.

A meeting was held at Mover on Siturday to
reconsider the resolutioa pas,ed at the vestry meet-
ing held on the 151 h u:t., in regard to making over
certain roads to Mr. Foley, and taking such steos in
the matter as may be thought desirable. Ihe notice
ca ling the meeting was sigbed by the ()verse, re of
the parish of K liver. What led to it was toe fwt
that at a vestry ineetimg, at w ich the a tend flce
was very likiii!ed, a resolut.on was passed by a
in .j-aity of kale to allow Mr V.,ley ta close certain
roa is. It appear that. du ing the pa.t fori y years
twelve ditfere.it roads have be -n close tin tbe rieodo
bou• hood. A meeting was held on September 27th,
1883, for cou-Ltering the pr pose I division of th.,
comity of Stafford in o I.i4hway districts anl the
steps taken ther.iu, and also closing a certain foot
path at Stourkm, mid other geue.-ai bus ness. It.
was resolved tow, tue footpaths through Mr Foster's

At the m-eting ou Satur ay Mr. Outage Nlathew..
was elected .0 preside, aud briefly stated the o j 'CI
of the meeting.
Mr. W H. King, solicitor. of Soinrbridge, said
be shoula like to make a f w reina- ka o b halt ot
Mr. Foley. Unfortunately a the last meeting no
reporters were present A very inaccurate report,
however, appeared which oiuitied to m ntiou what
Mr. Foley said two or three times—that lie had to
desire to do anytoing against the wishes of (ho
people of Kiuver. If it was the wish of the people
of Kinver that those roads should be kept open he
ditl not desL.e to close them. He proposed to tad
the corresp ,nclence that had passed b-tween Mr.
Grosverror Lee and Mr Foley on the s tojeet.
The Rey. J. Hodgson said that Mr. King was out
of order in making a statoinent before the minutes
of the last meeting were read.
Mr. King sail the Chairman made certain re-
marks, anti he tilui4ht it would save time if be ex-
plained the pooiiion at once.
The minutes w,re Chao lead.

The Chairman said he had hai a conver ation
with two 01 trie parties who hdld up theig hands at
the former meeting in flvoar of tie reso;utio th.tt

And raise their miuds-t i that pu e source
