THI npainw Or THM PAUSE.
Mr. Reword reed • letter from the Clerk of the
Dorchester Highway Board, in reply to one from this
Board, Makin the several permeate made to the Crown
by the Highway Board, amounting to 'boot 00, as
royalty on gravel taken from the Bill.
Mr. A Soriven mid that was not one-tenth of the
amount.
By the request of Yr. H. B. Combat, the Clerk read
the Soars from the Hoc. Oberlin Gore, giving to Mr.
C. Jesty, surveyor to the Do:m*ooer Highway Board,
**right to take gravel sod send from the foreshore
for the purpom of repairing the highways under the;
eoetrol of the Dorchester Board, on paying • royalty of
6d. per cubic yard.
Kr. Howard, in reply to • question, said the foreshore
was that portion of land abutting on theses, between
the level of high water and low.
Mr. B. Combat mid that instead of taking away
gravel and Mingle from the foreshore, as he was
lionised to do, the Highway Surveyor took it from the
oommonable lands, some 300 or 400 yards from the
foreelsore, and destroyed the herbege, which belonged
of right to the iahithKaate. This was a matter
he thought the Board ought to Inquire into. They
all knew the rights and privileges belonging to
them. By Her Maleety'e grant they were empowered
to quarry stain, and it gave than tonnage mosey for
the damage dose to the herbage. Further ha bad a
copy of the court surrey held in 1846, when Kr. J.
Stone, steward, Kr. W. White, foreman, and 24 others,
made a presentment, including the followins :

It was then resolved "That the surveyor take gravel
