THE LATE TRADES' REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—
Last evening a special meeting of the executive council of
the Working Men's Association was held at the offices in
Bolt-court, Fleet-street, Mr. G. Potter in the chair, to
consider the propriety of taking legal proceedings against
the lessee of the Aaliburnham Grounds for breach of con-
tract and special damages consequent upon his refuel to
allow the reform meeting to be held in the above ground
on the 3rd of December last. A report was read by the
secretary which estimated the extra expenses incurred by
the committee through the refusal, in posting fresh bills,
issuing new advertisements, and in providing another
place, combined with the stoppage of the sale of tickets
for nearly a week, at upwards of 250(. The letter of Mr.
Adams, the agent of the lessee, letting the grounds to the
committee, together with the correspondence forbidding
the meeting, had been submitted to a legal opinion, which
was in favour of an action at law laying against the lessee,
and after some discussion it was unanimously resolved
that the solicitor of the association be instructed et once to
commence such action. A resolution was also adopted to
be submitted to the next trades' delegate meeting for
keeping the present trades organisation intact pending the
coming session of parliament. The committee then ad-
journed.
