DUDLEY TOWN COUNCIL.

A. monthly meeting of the above-named Council
wits held on Tuesday afternoon at the Town Hall,
the Mayor (Alderman Wainwright) presiding.

:THE CLALII UPON THE CORPORATION.

The Town Clerk read a letter from Ntessrs Ben-
bow, Saltwells, and Tyron, solicitors, Lincoln's Inn,
stating, with reference to the recent claim made by
the Earl of Dudley's trustees upon the Corporation,
that Mr. Mathews, the arbitrator, did not by his
award give any compensation in respect of the rib
of coal under the Dudley Canal Tunnel. These
sections had been the subject of judicial decisions
and the right 01 the fad to work the coal under this
very tunnel was established by the Court of Appeal.
They were about to take counsel's opinion on this
subject, as well as on others, consequently there
might be some little delay before they were ready
to proceed with the special case stated by the
award.

The Mayor informed the Council that he had
received a letter from Canon Melville, taking ex-
ception to the remarks he (the Mayor) made at the
meeting of the Council with reference to the arbi-
tration. Di hi letter, Canon Melville complained
that he (the Mayor) did not pay due and proper
respect to the high office of the Bishop held by the
Right Rev. T. L. Claughton, and that he had for-
gotten their moral character, and had acted unfairly
towards them, urging that what he (Canon Melville)
and his co-trustees did was simply in the discha.:ge
of their duty as trustees, and for the protection of
the estaLe they were appointed to adiniuister. He
(the Mayor) had no hesitation ii Sàyii with refer-
elce to any observations of his app ying to the
Bishop of St. Albans, or to Canon in
their spirituel duties, that he never intended such
a thing, and if those observations would hear such
a construction, he willingly and cheerfully withdrew
them. He had never heard anything ab iut either
of them in the discharge of their spiritual duties,
save that which was good and to their credit, and
further having known both of them for a number
of years he believed they were perfectly incapable
of doing an intentional wrong. What he, however,
would say, and what he had replied to Canon Mel-
ville, was that if clergymen, whatever their position
in the Church might be, intermeddled witla secular
affairs they must be content to be judged by the
same rule as laymen under similar circumstances—
(hear, hear)—and if they chose to delegate their
authority to agents who committed acts ot some
impropriety which they might have prevented they
were morally, as well as legally, responsible for
( them, and they must not complain if exception was
taken to their acts.

THE PROPOSED TRAMWAY TO KINGSWINFORD.
The Mayor next announced that the Ktngswin-

rd tramway scheme, which had been looked upon
with considerable favour by the borough, had
been docked by the Board of Trade of its fair pro-
portions. It was thought that it would be a de-
sirable th'ng to put the inhabitants of Kingswin-
ford and that neighbourhood in coramunicati.in
with Dudley, but the Board of Trade had not en-
tertained that proposition, and had struck out of
the scheme so much of the line which was proposed
to be laid between Dudley and Kingswitiford, ani
the latter place and the bottom ofßrettell Lane but
had given assent to the other portion of the
scheme which proposed to connect Brierley Hill,
Stourbridge, and Dudley. It was not, however, all
plain sailing. He (the Mayor), as solicitor to the
scheme, was threatened • with opposition by the
Railway Company, but he thought there could be
found in that Chamber plenty of men who for
years and years having complained cf the in
sufficient accommodation :given:, by the railway
company— (applause)—would go forward and sup-
port the scheme He was also threatened with
further opposition on the part of the Earl of Dud-
ley's trustees, who claimed certain ancient rights
and privileges, but he had declined to admit their
claim.—No discussion followed the Mayor's
remarks.

his father he said that he found it wrapped Up in a
piece of brown paper in the stock yard.—Prisoner
now said that be was very sorry and hoped the
Bench would fine him and he would not do it again.
—The Bench considerel the case proved and
I inflicted a fine of 50s. with the alternative of one
i month's imprisonment.

1 A VIOLENT INMATE OF THE UNION. William
Homer, an inmate of the Stourbridge Union, was
charged with assaulting Henry R assell, also an
inmate of the Union. He was further charged with
wilfully damaging the cell door to the amount of
is.— On the 23rd ult the two inmates had some
altercadon together and the defendant struck com—
plainant with a piece of piping on his eye. On
account f his conduct he was put into the cell and
whilst there kicked the bottom of the call door and
broke it —The Bench fined him 5s and costs; or in
default 14 days.
GAMBLING.—At the Police nourt on Thursday,
before W. F. F. Bough, y, Esq., Stipendiary, five
lads, named Samuel Corbett, John Davies, William
Rowley, William Edwards, and William Lloyd, all
of Penstiett, were fined, Davies 2s 6d. and the others
5s each, for gambling with money in Chapel
Street, Petisnett, on the 26th Ultimo.
THE RATING OF VOLUNTEER ARMOURIES.—Mr.
Homer, poor rate collector, summoned Sergeant
Thompson, drill iustructor, of the Kingswinford
Rifle Corps, for non-payment of 162 poor rates for
the armoury and storehouse in connection with the
corps at Wordsley. Mr. Holberton (Messrs. Horn
fray and Holbrton) appeased for the defendant,
and raised the objection that the Act of Parliament
distinctly exempted such premises from t,ll rates.—
The Stipendiary said this had been set led long
ago, and the case must be dismissed.
KINGSWINFORD SCHOOL BOARD. —A monthly
meeting of this Hoard was held at Brierley Hill on
Tuesday. The Rev. T. L. Claughton (chairman)
presided, and there were also present Mr. R Smith-
Casson, the Rev. C. H. Cole-Webb, Dr. Bodington
Messrs Waldron, Haines, Barlow, Bennett, Carder.
Miss Maud Wilkes was appointed assistant-mistress
of the Pensnett Board School at a salary of £4O per
annum. Ttte General Purposes Committee reported
that the scheme of education for the Board schools
had been considered, and also the scheme introduced
by the chairman for the instruction and examina-
tion of scholars in relig!ous knowledge. Amend-
ments to the latter were recommended as follows :
The schools to be closed in the morning with the
saying of a proper grace; in the evening by the
singing of a hymn and the offering of a prayer,
provided that in the use of any prayers or hymns
the provisions of the elementary Education Act,
1870 (sections 7 and 14), shall be strictly observed,
both in the letter and spirit, and no attempt made
in any school to attach the children to any par-
ticular denomination. Ten minutes aaditional
were to be added in the morning to the time of
religious observance, and an annual inspection in
religious knowledge was to be held in all schools
provided by the Board. After a long discu,slon.
the scheme of education and the scheme for
instruction and examination in religious knowledge
the latter being incompliance with Act of Parliament
were both adopted by five votes to four given in
favour of an amendment, proposed by Dr, Bodington
for referring the matter back to the committee.

AN ALARMING Dissisit AFFLICTING A. NITIIRROITS CLASS
The di,ease commences with a slight derangement of the
stomach, but if neglected, it in time involves the whole
frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and, in
fact, the entire glandular system, and the afflicted drags
out a miserable existence, until death gives relief Min
suffering. The disease is often mistaken for other com-
plaints ; but, if the reader will ask himself too fullowing
questions, he will be able to determine whether he lEmself
Is one of the afflicted. Have I distress, pain or difficulty
of breathing alter eating ? Is there a dull heavy feeling,
attended by drowsiness? Have the eyes a yeliuw tinge?
Does a teick sticky mucous gather about the gums and teeth

the tongue coated? Is there t emu in the skies and back?
Is there a fulness about the right side as if the liver were
enlarging? Is there costiveness? Is there vertigo or
