Tili BIAILAL BOARD. —Last Friday evening there Wag a
meeting of this Board at the otlices o. Mr. Berrie,
solicitor, clerk to the Board. A deputation from the
" Conimonera," namely, these wrsouri having turliary
rights on the Commen land, of which the Board with to
have a piece for a cemetery —waited on the Board, and
held out !owes that within a shert tune • piece of :hi acres
would ie., saulable for that purpose. the deputation
received the thanks of the Board for their communication,
and it was considered after their withdrawal whether the
Board should not still endeavour to negotiate for • site in
the event of the Co m limners hopes previa; fallacimu. In
Bournemouth, noted for it, philanthropic institutions,
there is therefore not to he found one who will sell a con-
venient and suitable pie". of miand except at an enormous
price, for the purpose of the burial of the dead. St. Peter's
churchyard Is the only burying-place, and it is naturally
fast tilling, as it contains at mut but lors acres of land, and
it has done duty MI the catacomb mince Bournemouth was
but a village. The last offer of land which wu an advan-
tageous one for the Board was at £l5O an acre, but this
site was abandoned in consequence of the water found in
the test holes made. This took place in June but, and
matters are apparently still in the same hopeless condi-
tion.
