nviti and ha thought the best way would be for the
CAsiaril to elect Wine of their laalv and the Local liceini

them to tirepare some IfCIICIIIC whereby the desired change

Sr them to carry a Bill into Parleunent if there was much

io Mr. Ira, the Ileum: Secretary ; and in the meantime
lord Echo's scheme would most likely he I.n.ught forward,
awl in the face of that the memorial might have some
wci.:llt. The last time the matter was discussed it WWI

the local pobee and were supplied by the county. but he
should strongly oppose giving up the police of the borough
(hear,
Mr. Erna was of opinion the feeling of the town
cloud.) be ascertained by calling a general meeting of the
inhabitants before any such committee ILA that proposed
by Mc. 'lodges was appointed.
Mr. John DARN'S said if the amalgamation caused the
laus ugh rate to lie doubled the scheme would certainly lie
nict with considerable opposition.
Mr. Edgar B. $3llllll considered • public meeting of the
inhabitants should Snit be called, and if the antalgarna-
non was favourably received it would then he the right
time to ancertain the expense. Ile was very doubtful as to
the sneers. of a memorial to Mr. Cram.
Mr. W. 1.:14;AR stated in lalla. whilst overseer, he called
a puhlic meeting, and thme was then strong opposition to
the extension of the borough. lie was reminded, how-
ever, that was before the formation of the Local
Pasant.
Mr. (!. Prom considered It would not he of any use to
call a public meeting, without they had some scheme and
information ready to lay before such meeting. It was, he
thought, very little use to rely upon Parliament in sorb
matters. They must do the thing theinaeiv, lle wu
decidedly in favour of a public meeting. and to give the
question the utmost publicity and consideration, hut he

well toy half that amount.
