APPOINTMENT Or GOVERNoR AND MATRON Or
I:Alit..—At a special meeting of the Justices
of this borough held at the fluil,tball on Thursday
week, Mr. and Mrs. Whitehall were appointed to the
offices of master and matron, in the room of Mr. and
Mrs. lbeales, resigned. A resolution was unani-
mously agreed to—fliat Mr. and Mrs. Rawles having
resigned the situations of governor and matron of the
gaol of this borough, which they have filled with
great credit to themselves and to the entire satisfac•
tom of the visiting justices for upwards of six years,
the said justices think it right thus to give expres-
sion to their sentiments and their regret that the
state of Mr. Itawly's health should have occasioned
the resignation by him and his wife of the situations
they have so long and efficiently filled, and that the
clerk be instructed to send Mr. Rawles a copy of this
resolution. The newly elected governor has lately held
an appointment in the Southampton gaol, and his
testimonials from the justices and principal officers of
the gaol are of a high order.
