The BATOR said he was very glad to see Mr. Henry
Deveni.h present, and ac mentioned n supposed en-
croachment by Messrs. Devenieh at the back of the
biwarery. Alter Mesas. Devi nieh bought the piece of
Intuit at Bincleaves, they took off e corner and threw
coneklerahlo part into the road leaving it very wide for
a time, but afterwards the triangular piece wasenelmied
with paliuding, end need tia a place where they kept
cask& Now, he understood. they were about to erect a
p treatment building, and be hurl the foundations were
being lid ais feet outeide the pelisad.., and they had
not sent in plans for their building as they were bound
to do. He was not certain whether it was an encroach-
ment, but it was very clear they ought to submit plans.
Iffeurs. Devenish were very large ratepayers, end every
accommodation and facility ought to be given them to
carry on their business, but if they had eommitted an
encroaehmeat, the matter ought to be brought before
the Council and di•caued. Their friend at the foot of
the table (Mr. Marling) had removed hit win.lotu, and
every member et the Corporation should be equally
bound by its rulm.
Mr. Wren said Messrs. Devenish had gives) six times
the amount of the land they had taken in.
Mr. H. Dramsn said he had not seen the plans,
but he bad been round the place, and the foundatiots
were laid three feet within their boundary. It was
agreed that the plans should be produced.
Mr. BROWN enquired why the porch al the Mule
Hall 4fta net been lemoved
Mr. POTHRCARI supposed it was out of love and affec-
tion some parties bore to Captain Coutes.
The HURVIRTOR said Captaio Cowes promiatyl it
should be removed any time the Council required it.
It we. ordered to be removed at once.

POTHICART, referring to • former discussion on
the trubjest of removing sand from the beach in
front of the Bspinnade, said he believed if the
removal were generally permitted, they would I
do more damage in nix months than could be
remedied in six years Ile should therefore record
hie veto against permitting sand or gravel to be
tdrivn from the beach. But there was another thing he
wished to mention. They let their bathing machines
to • certain party; but had co control over the excur.
sionists who came down between the machines and the
sea, and if any person spoke to them about the hindrance
they caused, the only aorwer was "Mind !our own bind-
nese." He instanoeil•ease where •servantairloune down
between the machine and the see with a perambulator
tithe machine was being Liken out, and if it had not
been for the presence of mind of the driver she would
have been run over. Excursioniste very often eat about
between the machines, and if they bad empty bottles
they thre* them about on the Sands. In justice to the
proprietor he thought a policeman should be placed on
the Sands with authority to see fair play. At prevent
the manager is left perfectly at the mercy of eseur•
sionista without any power to order theni away But
they onght to be kept from the front of the machine.,
or outride some line of demarcation, within b,thing
boors. He mentioned also the children who dig holes
in the sands, and stand • chance of breaking their
neeks by getting in the way of the mschines, and urged
thee. should he some remedy.
The MAYOR would be the drat to veto any attempt
at precluding visitors from the eve ef tLe sands, or
sitting down and enjoying the beach.
Mr. Pwritgesav only wished them to be kept 0 of
harin's way
Mr. 11. Drwiktalg said that hoot. had been known
to come in front of the machines and riquain there, not
even rowing, and he thought the police might take
down the off wier's names.
Th. MaYult thought a policeman might be placed on
the Sends, to prevent people getting in dsng«rons posi-
tions in front of the machines, and to this the Council
agreed.

The MAYOR bald that about n month ago
Lowman became very ill, and had not been
his to take charge of the Rings, lie hail
therefore ed that Billet!, • sort of pensioner
ori the police fund, should take the money, and they
should employ • gardener two or three days a week,
and this had answered remarkably well. Leeman hal
been receiving hjc salary; but it was the unanimous
opinion of the committee that he Is not exactly suitable
to the place, and it would be well to dispense with his
services. The Mayor stated that £76 2e. had been re-
ceived for edinioiou and croquet hire, and MO 12s. for
aca•on tickets, and with economical management he be-
lieved the gardens would be .el-supporting. There was
a gent ral opinion that Mr. Stephenson gave the grounds
and paid everything. They were deeply indebted to
Mr. stephensoo f r his handsome present of the laud;
but he thought it due to the town to mention that they
hail spent £1,200 on the videos besides the gift, there-
fore the town averred sonic little credit—(bear).
Mr. Wane asked who paid for the refreshment to the
hands?
The kl•vott said he did. He was about £2:l out of
pocket, and perhaps be owed Superintendent Vickery
£6 or 1.7 besides. It cast about 15s. each time they
played.
Several of the Council thought this a fair charge on
the income of the Rings.
The MATOR said be had taken on himself to make an
arrangement with Captain Percy Smith to allow the
Royal Rogineets' band to play in the Rings. in answer
to a question he said the illst band used formerly to
have to pay their fare; but be had mentioned the
matter some time ego, and they had not had to pay for
• considerable time.
It was agreed that notice be given to tin Lowman
that his appointment would he cancelled, and his
services dispensed with after the 25th inst.
Mr. (I, Rum suggested that parts of the Wyke and
Rodwell reeds should be planted with tree., and was
asked to place his motion on the paper for the next
meeting.
Mr. Euor and the TOWN CtAge suggested the pro-
vision of straw hurdles end other requisites for the pro-
tection of the shinbs in the Rings during the winter
season.— Agreed to.
The list of parson@ seeking to be szessed their sanitary
roes was them aces through. The amount to be excused
was £8 10s. bid.
