• arose respecting the 'present state of .affitirs with
regard to the,Markethouse.—The Clerk said it warn
possible that a reference might take place with
to Messrs. Goodyear's claims for the erectionTlatil

that threior fohr years agO, he paid ilk and he had
lately been called on to pay .nOO odd mot.. Heq
did not of course know what Mears. Goodyear's!
expenses were.—Mr. Drew t Good heaven' 1-This is!
worse than a chancery suit. It ought to be settled
some way or other.—Mr. Devenish: The Court of
Chancery has been made wholesome, but this is
gettitig wdree 'and worist-iMr. Howard said if
Messrs. Goodyear ' obtained the day, of course they
would come and take their chairs and tables; but
where, in such case, would their Clerk get his money,
from! He ought to be paid.—The Clerk said he
could be paid out of the General Fond, but Messrs.
Goodyear could not come upon that. —Mr. Bower,:
! The Gm. eral Fund is in debt now.—The Clerk said
' that three councillors were engaged in the case;
the boanciller employed for the Corporation was
Mr. Kerslake, who had been engaged in the
! Windham case, and he well IL very clever councillor.
—Mr. Drew said he bad a conversation sometime!
since with Mr. Talbot Bury, the . architect, and be ,
understood horn him that he had been appointed!
arbitrator in the whole case; that he had given in 1
hie award, which Messrs. Goodyear were seekin to
upset.,—The Clerk mid such was the case..-. 14

Months time, or years ini,Aht elapse before it was con-
cluded.—Mr. Devenish asked if any delay had
occurred from which the Council had any control ? :
The Clerk replied id the negative. Be had done all !
in his power to hasten a settlement, for he had ,
good re&SORS to wish for its coming to a conclusion.
—Mr. Devenish said such a case as that would drive
him wild.—Mr. Drew said he had heard that Messrs.
Goodyear's lawyer was ao certain of it verdiat
that he was working on " spec."- -Mr. Devenish
asked what had been doing all this time that they
had not yet gone into Court ?—The Clerk replied
that they had been settling the preliminary points,
whether Mr. Bury's decision should be final, and
what points should be submitted to the Court. They
had settled the points of law, and now they had to
go into the points of fact.—Mr. Bower mired hew
this had all arisen ?-14r. Devenish: Through Ohl.
canoery and rogery.—Mr. Bower: What is the sum
in dispute '—Mr. Devenish: The contract wee
£3,000, and now Goodyear is suing the Corporation
for £B,OOO. There never "rasa more carefully drawn
up contract, and the Corporation did not break faith
with it in one iota; and Goodyear would never have
thought of disputing it if he had not been persuaded
to do so by certain members of the Council—After
some further .disCussitin; the subject dropped, and
the Council passed the following resolution : ' That
tenders be invited for removing 16 stalls in the
centre of the Market-house, according to the plan
and specifications of the Surveyor."
COAL Dugs.—Mr. Roberti called attention to the
fact that a large amount of toll dues were lost to the
Corporation. The dues hat year amounted to
£lOB7 Os. 7d., out of which only £BO6 had been re=
ceived. He was satisfied a great emennt due on the
bridge tone were not Paid. 4/ne man he knew owed
£3l odd. Mir. Devanish : -121 e mast be called on
then.—Mr. Roberta proposed that the tolls be eol-
lected by the person who collects the wharfage dues.
—Mr. UpjAn seconded the resolution, as he was
mire they would be great gainers by it.—Mr. Prows,
said he did not wish to tax any person with de-
liberate fraucl„ but it sometimes happened that, all
cording to the woal metre's 'calculations, some of thg
vessels did not unload so many coals as they shipped
by 30 or 40 tons. The score, as the coals were
weighed out, were kept with chalk, and they all
knew how easy it was to rub some of those marks
out. He strongly advised a different mode of keepa
ing the account.—The Mayor said he had also been
, informed of the circumstance. Mr. Howard thought
that 5 per cent., or £5O, MID WO MUCh to give Mr.
Cheeseman for colleeting the bridge dues.—Mr.(
William Thomas also opposed it. Mr. Jacob had
had his salary raised, and he ought to properly ceßreAr
the tolls—Mr. Hibbs was not one of those wide
would attribute fraud to a person till fratufwas
proved.. They had better send for the treaenter.-1
, The Mayor did not think they ought to pay Mr.,
Cheeseman LOG' a-year; and also pay the treashriir-
, the present salary, whit% was mimed in consequenee
lof his doing ,thie work—Mr. Jacobs was sent for,
! but as he was not at home, the resolution was with-
drawn, and the qlestioned Was adjourned.

of the district. After ample justice had been done
to the good things provided, by nearly fifty Odd
fellows and visitots, and the cloth removed, the
Usual loyal and petriott toasts were given and duly
honoured, after which the Chairman rose to propose
what, he said, must be considered the toast of the
evening. namely, " Eiumess to the Bare Regis Loyal
Garibaldi Lodge," and in the course of his remarks
cempared the present prospects of Odd-fellowship in
this locality with the past, which, he said, had
*n the reverse of cheering. He farther stated
that even now an inflames was exerted to deter
people from joining, by endeavouriag to impress
their minds with the idea that the lodge could not
stand. He, however, thought that if those who
covertly evinced their hostility to this excellent
Mder would only look in upon that assembly, they
would be convinced they were wrong, and that the
Garibaldi lody-weal‘sotouly /tend, but that its
shccens would be most triumphant. The Chairman
