A GAS DISPVTE.
A letter was read from Mr. W. C. Williams, late
collector of the as rates, to the effect that Mr.
Church, the manager of the gas works, had " most
scandalously overcharged" the Corporation, to the
amount of 24,1410 cubic feet of gas, value Di 15s. +l.
during the half year from January 31, to July 31, !
Isfiti. - Both Mr. Williams and Mr. ';hurch attended.
The former repeated the assertions contained in the
letter, and the latter stated that he had never seen
! the meter, but that he had entrusted his man to
! take the readings. He had sent him twice, and he
returned with the same figures each time, and
thinking there was a stoppage, he considered it a case
of computation. Ho suggested that another meter
should be placed halide that at the police station, to
Wit its accuracy, and that the bill should not be
paid till the result had been ascertained.

gave an interesting account of the society's opera-
tions during the past year and which had greatly pros-
pered. Through the inetrumentality of City Nils-
sionaries, 1,102 drunkards had, during the last 12
months. been rrclsiine.l ; and could their missionaries
be doubled, they might be able to number such reek-
mations be thon‘uols instead of hundreds. Their

metropolis, and those dons of infamy the low lisig-

of Itridport, and brought up in a Sunday riehool in
that town, was a most laborious and self-denying
man, having voluntarily chosen as the scene of Ins

only ministers ever seen were Roman Catholic priests.
