Harry Read, landlord of the George Inn was enm•
mooed for wasting the water of the Local Board of
i Health, Sept. 1. Defendant said the charge area not
true. . . .

...
Mr. Jewett said that on Thursday morning last In the
amuse of his ernminatiou of the water services he went
through the George yard. In • closet there he found
the valve handle trigged up with • piece of old inort.r
and the water running. There was no person near.
Atter waiting • few =touter he went into the house end
Galled Hr. Head out. He showed him what he had
found. mil the water running to waste. Defendant
removed the lamp of mortar. and water mewed to flow.
Do&admit said he knew nothing about it; eitriees told
him he eras liable.
Defendant said he was there ten minutes before, and
it wee all right; and a man present who 1140 working
aloes by only live minutes previously could may at was
not running. Being • • public yard he could not answer
for it. Us supposed it was some child had dose it for
mischief. .

Kr. Symonds maid peopi• ran away with the notion
that running off water in this way flushed drains, bat it
was a mistate.

Mr. Jowett said it did no good at all.
The Town Clerk continued that if person. had men
• about them who would do these things they must dis-
charge them.
Kr. Hodges said the waste of water had often oecupied
the attention of the Town Council; the inhabitants had
the benefit of good water at a very moderate *spume,
and they must be stopped from westing it, all that WM
requires being a little reasonable ettenuon on the pert
of householders.
Mr. Symonda said that some time ago 1500 notions
were printed and distribukd, warning people of the
pm:elites to which they were liable.
' The Mayor said the Bench would this time inflict a
floe of his, including oosta ; subsequent offences would
be more eerereiy dealt wit&
