Mr. Cox—l very entieli regret that this visit or myself
should have give you cause to act so. but I will draw my
observations to a close by simply reiterating that we of
the Irish Society are ae anxious u the mayor, or the tor-
poratioa or the iiihabitaatis of Deny eaa possibly be
to see the continued prosperity of the city ; end I think,
sir, we have show u it, when Ludoueis, who suffer so much
from tolls existing en their own bridges. have made a nut
of 1,0001. a year for ten yean towards relieving the people
of Derry from an impost on their uew bridge. In addition

has to say.

Mr. Cox—ln addition to that, have we not. for erne
years, bound ourselves to pay a thousand a year to the
Port and Harbour COUItIIiMaUDOCS fur the erection of their
quays?
A VOICI—No.

Mr. Cox-1 have only to inform the gentleman who said
"No," that he is not acquaiuted with the facta, ■od there-
fore I am sure he will receive tie iuform■tion from se,
and perlmps it may Wed in mute shape or way to champs
his opinion about the lion. the Irish Societe. I may also
be piumitted to my that the @crime lime gives the col,
poratiou of Derry a sum of 7001. a year for perms' years
past. (Loud cries of "No, no." trwripia g and basses.)
