Mr. coup-rilz.7-aiii&ii;-,—ii,-,-,.--ro;;;;a. asked the
Mayor whether be had received a second memorial from
the agriculturists of the district regarding the position
of the Fair Field. He had been requested by Mr. H.
Garland, of Wareham, to ask that question. Mr. Garland
stopped him on Saturday, and stated he had forwarded
the memorial, and he had heard nothing of it. He had
not even received an acknowledgment of it.
The HAITOR replied that the memorial in question had
gone to the Lords of the Treasury with other documents
relating to She subject. It was handed to Ur. Glutton at
the late enquiry.
Mr. GREGORY was present, but never heard it reed.
Had it been before the Council
The Msvon : It has not 001118 back.
Mr. HODGES: But it was addressed to the Council.
The IlIsron: At any rate Mr. Clutton took possession of
it, and I dare mar it weighed very considerably with the
Lords of the Treasury in the matter.
Mr. Gneoony said the memcrialhad been received nearly
two months ago, and they as a Council had heard nothing
of it. Hs did not think that guita—
rs Karon said Mr. Andrews was a party to the
matter, and the memorial was in his handwriting, he
believed. It reached him on the morning of the enquiry
before Mr. Glutton. That enquiry was held on the 27th
of June, which reduced very considerably the statement
that the memorial bad been received two months before.
At the enquiry Mr. Andrews enquired for the memorial
in question, and asked to have it put in. It was accord.
ingly laid before the meeting, Mr. Clutton took possession
sd it, and, he presumed, held it now.
Alderman Cuing: There's not so very much to find
fault with there.
Yr. Gazaoar t We have had a meeting since, and heard
nothing of it
Alderman Getrin : You hear the Mayor's answer, what
more can you desire I
Mr. Gagooar : He could have said at our last meeting
that he had received such a memorial.
Mr. VILRRON : IS would only have been a matter of
courtesy to have presented it to us.
Alderman Guess : But, you hear it was carried

' away.
The Kama said there need be no mistake. Mit
Andrews on the morning of the enquiry claimed the
paper, whether be had a right to or not was another
thing. Undoubtedly he (the Mayor) would hare been
blamed if he had kept it until that morning.
Mr. LOCK could not me what right Mr. Andrews had
to it.
The MATOII said Mr. Andrews promoted it, and it was
in his handwriting, and he (Mr. Andrews) was very

effect he could not see what more could have hula rine
with it.
Mr. VERNON : Its just one of those things that's •
little unusuaL
Mr. HODGES did not see that Mr. Andrews had anything
to do with the matter. There was • respectable gentleman,
of good position, and he thought proper to obtain signs-
tare. to a memorial from certain persons, and he forwarded
, that memorial to the Mayor for presentation to the
Council, and now they heard from the Mayor that it had
gone to the Lords of the Treasury, lie thought it was
very much to be regretted that the Mayor had not taken
what he considered the proper course, and laid it before
the Council.
Alderman Conga: But it only arrived on the morning
of the meeting.
Mr. Hamm : It was addressed to the Council, and Mr.
C)utton had nothing to do with it.
Alderman Cutup: : Well Mr. Andrews seemed to think

that I ain't think.
The Msym (emphatically): For the simple reaaon, Mr,
that they want something to blame him for, and in that
way I accept it. Nothing more nor less. Really, nowa-

Mr. linh.vOs protested against the Rigor eMimedog
them under the influence of foaling and passion. He
would much rather it bad not occurred, but to talk about
" contemptible " was rather - - - (Confusion.)
Mr. Hoven said for his part he accepted the Mayor's
explatation why the letter had not bsen brought before
them, but it u.sme time he said it was t° 1.. regretted
that It had not been, aad he said so again.
