The M4TOIII said that no ens had a right to keep a

Mr. ilsoon doubted what right the Council had to the
old Town Mall, and suggested the Town Clerk should
ascertain what was their position towards it.
Mr. THONaI paid it was certainly only useful for polling
place', and it was not the most oentral place sow the town
to enlarge..
Mr. Lorgtx. was in favour of keeping the old place and
improving it.
The meter'. was • IjouraeA. the Town Cl. rk to report

Till PILOPOSID MEW Pt= AT TICTORIVITJULLCZ.
A letter was read from Messrs. Williams with respect
to this Pier. asking what the Council intended to do.
Mr. Roams had WOO in the Isity Neasc that a nro-
visional ur.ler was applied for to midge • Ale-pier at Wey-
mouth. He did at now whaber these were the same
gentlemen as put them to great expense before; but be
reminded the C•uncil that the bondholders had consented '
to accept a legal opinion, and, without legal proceeding.
to put the Pier in repair. The Council were unable to ftoj
funds, and the bon %elders advanced the money, the coo.
tract had been taken, and tee work was being proceeded
with. It was right that they should meat them gentle-
men and know what they Intended to do. The Council
ought to protect the bondholders, who had advanced she
money, for if they invited persons to invest their mossy
in funds over which the Council had • guardianship, and
then left them to shift for themselves, whet would be
thought of the Council! He did not think the Parliament,
if the matter was fairly put before them, would allow
three gentlemen to enrich themselves by this means. Mr.
Roheng ha i taken great interest in the Pile pier, sad on
the guarantee of the Counoil to 's opposition new Pier
scheme shy had obtained LIAM:Ito repair the Pier, and he
urged they ought not to allow Otero gentlemen to come
delve and damnify the interears of the bondholders.
Mr. DMus moved a resolution that a Promenade Pier
on the sits proposed has become • neceseity for this Oral-
rate watering-place, and that th• Town Clerk be requested
to communicate with the Pier Company and the bond-
holders of the Pile-pier on the subject. Re exceedingly
regretted that on a previous occasion :bey were compelled
to eye en aeon* vuko, and suggested that • private on.
fervors should be bald, In order, for instance, that a
royalty might be peld to the Pile,pier bondholders; but
be opposed anything like an uncoatprornbsing opposition
to the rOmPanr.
Mr. NAIM4SI.3 said everyone must be of opinion that a
pier like that at Bournemouth would be • great advantage
to the place, and considering it was to be placed here free
of colt to the town, it s • greet boon. Ibe Council on
tho previous octagon felt the, were fettered by dream-
stars is It wan suggest- that
_,the Iterine Pier's Company
th
dinuid „ore the present Pile-pier ea part of the scheme ;
but ay refused, and the Council felt they most oppose.
They Were ill the milli, Petition now i but the meeent
Pile•pler should, he thought, be enlarged and 0.0. d for
mere:antis purposes, end tket the offer of the
Merin• Par's Company should not be met with an abrupt
refusal. The matter oue tto he thoroughly well weighed,
and, he bsd great pleasure la Pervading Mr. News

reeolution.
Mr. Ronne's resolutiee would be that the Pilot-pier bond-
hokjers eh 'old be invited Inc ,ufer with the Council an the
subject, the they were bound logo with the bondh.ildein
and if thee %ere in favour of the Marine scheme,
the Council would not deserve to be called honest men,
unless they found the £4,000 and hooded it beck to them,
before allowieg the New Pier nohow° to go on.
M. ELIOT said the matter bristled with difficulties.
With regsr i to the advance fr on the bondholders, they
mmt dismiss from their minds the idea of a patriotic,
kind, or inner.. iger, for a to bondholders were bound to
repair the Pier Mow long are the C..nuarAl to be bound to
