ANNUAL VEsTnx.—XesterdWmorning, at half-past
nine o'clock, the annual vetry of the parish of West
Derby, for electing overseers, was held in the Public-
offides, Harper-street, the chair being occupied by Mr.
Richard Radcliffe, who impressed upon the ratepayers
the importance of appointing overseers who would make
a fair and equitable assessment of the rapidly increasing
parish ; for the manner in which the assessment was
made last year did not give satisfaction. Messrs. John
Pilling, Thomas Corkhill, William Owens, and W.
Crosby were proposed by Mr. Stone, who stated that he
felt certain that if these gentlemen were elected they
would manage the business fairly, and assess the parish,
&c., to the satisfaction of the ratepayers generally. The
proposition was not seconded.—Mr. Whitby, of Ken-
sington, nominated MesSrs. Win. Owen, W. Crosby,
W. Dickenson, and W. J. Abrahams; and stated
that Mr. Stone ,had improperly charged the over-
seers for the last year with expending money
which the guardians only had control over, The
assessments for the past year, however, had been
increased, unsatisfactorily to the ratepayers, some of
whom appealed to the magistrates, at a great deal of
unnecessary expense and trouble to themselves and the
township, and succeeded in getting the overcharge
deducted from their bills. Whilst he hoped that he
would not be nominated for the Office, he' trusted they
would elect men who would do their duty to the rate-
payers at large without showing either fear, favour, or
affection. (Cheers.)—Mr. Whitby's proposition, also,
found no seconder.—lt was then greposed lay Mr.
Anthony, seconded by Mr. Bates, and carried unani-
monsly, that Messrs. Crosby, .Abrahams, Owen, and
Whitby be recommended to the magistrates for election.
—Much cheering ensued, and a meeting of the rural
ratepayers took place immediately, the chair still being
occupied by Mr. Radcliffe, who read a statement of the
neeouiits for the year ending Mar. 25. Receipts : Balance

now sought to recover the amount 'of three months'

•
This 'was an action for demurrage. Mr. Mellish
peered 'for the plaintiff, and Mr. 'Wilde, Q.C., and Mr:
Millward for the defendant. The plaintiff, it appeared,
was principally engaged in discharging vessels for Spain,
and on the 26th of ,Noirember he chartered to Wm.
France, for six months, at a lump shill of 4 A
-ty per month.
Ah' Arrangement was (uttered into 010 the sbold

was originally agreed, were to pay £lO per day deniur-
rage fer any time' which the vessel might be detained ou
the berth here beyond ten days, but that rate was after-
wards increased to £29 per day. Doubts were enter.;
tallied that the engines could be gut into the hold at the
vessel, but as the'deferidants•histSW4 that they could be
gdeinto the hold, the plaintiff consented to venture, It
was stipulated in the agreement that the plaintiff' should
put the vessel on the berth in Liverpool immediately
after her arrival from London and the discharge of her
cargo, and she was not to be detained on the berth more
e
than ten days. The vessel arrived in the Mersey on the
10th of December, went into the Clarence-dock on the

the engines and tenders could not be got into

the iron ii4eapp of the hatchways, and this caused
a delay,' whicli'forined the effllePt, of the present action.
The ten days expired on the rd of leq9ol4y, and as
the engines were not on board, the.plairititf sent in the
usual demurrage note to the defendants, informing them
that the vessel Was under demurrage of £2O a day.
