in the parish of Wyke Regis, ad thence proceeding in a

through Meadow Close and Rock di to the public
I highway leading front the town of Weymouth to
Chickerell.—The Highway Board in pursuance of the
provision of an Act of Parliament entitled "An Act to
consolidate and amend tha lows relating to Highways in
Englund," sth and rith Williruu, cap. 50, requested the
parish to assemble together in vestry, and to decide
whether the said road should be dedicated to the public.
The attendance was large and the meeting was adjourned
from the church to the schoolroom. The Rector, Rev. H.
C. Pigou, took the ,hair, and among the«, present were:
—Mr. George (solicitor, Weymouth), Rev. J. Lynes, Mr.
P. Hooper, Captain Prator, 1';olonel Swaflisld, Mr. E. C.
Fenoulliet, Mr. J. Boonton (waywarden), Messrs. J.

seer).
The CRAIREAN haring read the notice calling the
meeting,
Mr. GEORGE stated uudur what Act of Parliament the
trustees acted ; also that the rood MEE in good repair; he
had himself gone over it with the surveyor aid way.
warden, both of whom considered it in a good state.
Mr. .1. .1. H. LONGMAN said the road hail always been
rotten, and would always he so; he therefore proposed
that the parish refuse to have anything to do with it.
Mr. IL KEEPING seconded the resolution, saying the
bridge was in • most unsatisfactory state. unable to
sustain any greet weight, and he asked of what good
would the road be 'opposing the bridge should give
way
Kr_. Hoene supported Mr. Longman's proposition, and
said he considered the proposition of the trustees most
unwarrantable. There was • road made in connection
with the bridge by a private company, and whilst the
trustees still received the toll they wished the parish to
keep this read in repair which was for the use of those
from whom they received their toll He believed the
power of the trustees would last but for • short period,
but whatever might eventually take place he thought
"sufficient for the day was the evil thereof," and con-
sidered the parish was perfectly justified in declining to
accept such • proposal as that now before them—
(applause)
Mr. J. BAUITON said he had inspected the road, and
found part in good condition ;but the other part certainly
was not. Although his earn land was In the vicinity of
the road, he opposed the proposal.
Kr. Gionog said the whole of the receipts from the
tolls had been expended in repairing the road.
MR. J. ROBERTS asked whether, supposing the parish
took the road, the trustees would hand over the tolls?
.There was no amendment, and Kt. Isougmates Pro Po-
d was carried unanimously.
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks.
