Lavatl requested that certain memorials which bad been

in the county, protesting apiust the erection of the

landaude, the deputy-clink of the pesos, protruded to
reed the memorials. They were from the following
_places

Capt. C ~,,,, ea ob,erved that thus memorials were
couched in language the meat respectful, and it was in his
opinion the duty of the cunt to pay UN greatest possible
deference and reopen to the feelings expressed by so large •
parties of the ratepayers. He therefore moved that the Md.
SOWS be printed ins:unto, and circulated amongst the ma.

lir. ABIARTKONO seconded the motion with very great
fir., kr, if the sainnonals were printed and circulated, the
sentiments of the ratepayers would have an opportunity to
be more fairly weii;Leit and considered than they wau!el it
merely read in court. When the monstrous peasentment of
the BOW' of Correction as a unisons wm lint submitted to
the court, he protested 'talon it, and hoped that the rate
parrs would apt ak out. They had spoken eat—(hear)
•
and in a way to which this court wi.a not used, and he bored
that the presentation of those memorials that day would lead
to memorials from parishea and ratepayers being treated with
mace respect in future than being ' ordered to lie on the
lab*" se they. bad been generally hitherto. (Hear.)
Several magistrates disapproved of the proposition for the
printing of the memorials; but ultimately the motion was
carried by a great majority.
Some routine busineu wu then transacted, and the court
sijninsed till the nest session.

It was then moved by the chanties, and seconded by
W. J. Laseastei, 13.41 , that the report be adopted.
Mr. Bonteuusin said that although the general tenor of
the report wee mat Satisfactory, he begged to inquire whe-
ther the difference between the prvfits of the present half-
leer and the previous one, as shown by the July accounts,
arose from bed debts since ascertained, or from banking
bonnier being WS profitable. He would rather see an in-
different account in July, and an over estimate in January,
than the reverse.
The CIiAII.3IAS replied that there were two causes for that
difference—oaf, that basking bushier woe lees profitable
that was to soy that same" did not beer so high • rate et
Interest; the other, that in the format halt. year more bed
debts had been recovered than they bad estimated weeld

multi were made out mast accurately to the best of their
judgment, and that they could have no object is making the
forms r half appear better than the present. order
to avoid ovi r estimating, they were is the habit of suiting
the had debts at the lowest computation, lied a proof of that
was to be found in the fact he bad just stated.
The report woe then unanimously adopted, the dividend
declared, and the gentlemen ab:.v• named is skated. A
