ground. 8o long ago as December, 1871, the subject
was mooted, and daring the eusulag year there were
asaby communisations with the Governmeet to get their
emistestoe, as the ehttrebyard is used for the burial of
Akers and Derma at the prison. When the new
rearm (the Rev. J. L. Beiewr) oame new energy wee
infused Itito the matter, and the subject brought to ea
lame. The committee who had the matter in hand
found the beet and cheapest plan to be to enlarge the
burial ground by addition of one sere from the Crown
leads on the west ride, and halfebe-aore from the pariah
or wanton land oat the south side. The.. additbsee
would make the burial ground of • good square form.
and it would mass for a very boor amv. Toe graced
was to be obtained by parolees of the Crown right. for
£325, and other espouses would be not more than E 460.
of which £3OO was to be got from A.M. Groot Trustees,
sad the rest oould be raised b a sixpenny rate. At the
meeting when this proposal wee submitted, the
Nonconformists, who are • large body at Port-
land, raised the onestion of the hada' of Diemen-
