Buitouca POLICE, Saturday .—Several cases, involving
important principles as regards the welfare of the
town, were heard .at Mr. Bartlett's (the late Town
Clerk's) offices in the 'North-stret. before Meagre.
Woodruff* Daniel (Mayor) and T. Randall (Borough
Justice). The decisions of the justices in each CASO
were received with great satisfaction by a number of
the principal tradesmen and inhabitants of the town,
who crowded the justice room. We can state,
upon authority, that although there have now
end then been undesirable oases brought before
the borough justices, within the last few years,
yet, as a general rule, the magistrates have for five or
six years past had remarkably few cases, and the
criminal records in the hands of the authorities show
j that Werehiun is in as healthy estates* any town in the
county, and the criminal business has been very trifling,
thanks to those who watch over the town, and much to
the credit of its inhabitants. There bag not been an
affiliation cam for many years.
