. credit to, the.place where it stood; as well-as to the town
at large. (Hear, hear.) - Let them,,therefore,.go the WWl-
cil, and say, " the market is in a disgraceful -State, and if

Mr. Itruity addressed the meeting in afew-ivords, incul-
cating the necessity of union and good feeling in 'the 'Ward
now that the election was over.

Mr. MANN amain rose and said he was Yeminded by the
observations of the speakers, that he had omitted one topic
to which he should . have .made an- allusion. He begged
to say that it was not his intention to look at a voting
paper. (Hear, hear)._ He did not want to know how any
one voted in the Ward, and, now that he was one of their
representatives, he wished to meet every individual'without
any knowledge of whether he had voted for him or against
him. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Although he should be
better pleased that they should all think the seine as he did,
yet, upon an occasion of that kind, when A man had once
been elected, it became his duty. to look upon' every elector
alike. (Cheers). Mr. Mann then concluded by moving that
the thanks of the meeting be given to the Chairman.
Mr, JEFFREY§ seconded the motion, which was -carried by
acclamation. •

The
.CIIAIRMAN returned thanks, after which the pro-
ceedings terminated.

get. Could you have mixed this up With any other money?

DE -BotrourrvAr. v. PAR§ONS.—In this ease, a young
Frenchman,'named Ernest Farrington de •Bouglinval, sought
to recover £3, a' month's wages, 'from Mr. Parsons, a, photo-
graphic artist of this town. Mr. Pemberton appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Hime for the' defeddant. The action,
was also brought "to recover £4, the value of some 'photo-
graphic likenesses, 'the property of the plaimiff,which he
had himself executed in Paris, and which were placed at de-
fendant's door as specimens (Allis skill. - This portion of the
claim was, however, withdrawn, as the plaintiff was under
age, and could- not recover' the amount of any debt but that
for wages, except Under his father's name. Mr. Pemberton
_accordingly proceeded, with the claim for wages, stating that
he would make the other matter the subject of a separate
action. ' The evidence of the plaintiff was to the effect that,
while he was ih Paris his father entered into arrangements
with the defendant that he should be employed at' the
defendant's establishment. He accordingly came over from
Paris, and entered 'the' einployinent of defendant:on the. Ist
o f April last, and was engaged to,
,take pictures. He con-
tinued -in that employment up to • the 20th of May, when
the defendant told him hp should leave
,the employment, and
While he was out that night locked the doer against him
and would not admit him. On the Ist of May the defendant
paid him one month's salary, £3, at 15s. a week.
Mr. HIRE cross-examined the plaintiff with a view to
show that he was not competent for the work, and that
other parties had to be called in to finish his pictures. This
the plaintiff positively, deified, alleging that the instruments
Mr. Parsons harLwere not
_fit for the work, or such as he
was used to.
His HONOR suggested that the case should be referred to
the decision, of the French Consul. _ _

This was agreed`to, and after this suggestion the entiro
claim, with the amount of costs to be paid by either
party, was 'left to the' decision, of the French Consul in
Liverpool., . •
