Some 'mashers replied that there was another way provided.
A letter from the Clerk to the Hoard was read, In which Mr
iloward said there was no doubt the power of stopping the
pr..,ent sysvm of carrying stone—as it was dangerous and
injurious to the iii;ha ay existed, by indicting the owners at
Quarter Sessions for a nuisance. Rut at the same time the
stone trade was the staple trade of the island, and the power
ought to be used with due mutton.
SI: It. Ihmact repeated his argument, that they might 'swell
