The bridegroom, accompanied by the gentle-
: men of the party, reached the church about a

by whom she was given away. The first part of
the service was read by tho Riv. Archer Clive,

assessment, but simply ta pa:cli up t assess-
ment for the present, till the result of the bill
now before Parliament was known. There were
genie hundreds of cases that had never been put
upon the rate book. One resolution asked the
Guardians to call upon the Coalruasters to pay
up arrears for the last three months. He might
say there were no legal claim upon the Coal.
masters, but there was a moral claim ; and he did
not believe but that the Earl of Dudley, John
Bradley and Co., Mr. Gibbons,the Messrs. Pear-
san, or indeed any of the Coaltnasters in the
parish would allow it. The rates of the Coal.
masters had been made amounting to £4,000, it
ought to have been £lB,OOO. Mr. Plant, in con-
clusion, called attention to the fact that the re-
turnable value of the property of the parish had
decreased from something like .f 83,000 to a lit-
tle more than £75,000; while the rate 11101
creased from 1.0.1, to Is Bd.—Mr. B. Wood
Hlrockinorei, a member of tie: assessment COM-
mate°, doubted if they could make any demand
upon the coalmasters for the deficiency.—Mr.
Roberts, Mr. Pargeter, and Mr. Webb, also aid-
dressed the Board. The Guardians said the ques-
tion should have theirbest attention, and the de-
putation withdrew. After the withdrawal of
deputation, the assessment committee passed
the following resolutions :-1. That the resolu-
tions pas,ed at the meeting of tie ratepayers of
the parish of Kingswinford, on the 7th of June,
1439, be received and entered upon the ininutra.
2. That application to the Board of Guardians
for their consent to the assessment committee
employing a person to assist in the valuation of
property in the parish of Kingaainford. 3.
That the overseers of the parish of Kingswin-
ford be recommended to make a suppliraental
, return, and apply to the several colliery pro-
prietors for payment of the deficiency in the
amount of the current rate caused by an error
in the assessment upon their coal returns. 4
That the thanks of the Committee be given to
deputation for their attendance, and the infor-
mation supplied. The assessment committee
afterwards made their report to the Guardians,
and it was resolved—That notice be given to
each Guardian that the application of the as-
sessment committee be considered next week.
That the Guardians coincide with the recom-
mendation of the assessment committee, that
Vie overseers should apply to the several coal
masters for payment of the deficiency of the
current rate;naused by an error in the assess-
ment upon their coal returns.
