unknown to sash other. His sollespie, Mr. Cortio,
introduced him to some of the reenthen. He (Mr. Wil-
kinson) was appealed to amid the confusion, end the vestry
would pardon him if he said that it was owing to bias that
the bogus' of the board was so conducted as to cell forth
somplimentary notices in the journals. (Hear, hear.) Sub.
&messily he (Mr. %Villainies) was sleeted eseretup pro gial.
The Melones, with al other iellaential sambas of
