THE monster land job we noticed on Tuesday was
nearly consuroated by the Town Council on Wednes-
day, despite the appeals of an opposition in which
honest men of all shades and party in politics
were united. As a sample of Corporate corruption,
we believe the proceedings in this affair are with-
out a parallel in the blackest !pages of municipal
malversation. The land which is doomed to be
jobbed away is of secondary importance, in our
estimation, to the want of public rectitude the
transaction discloses. It makes every honest

man heartsick, as Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE

very properly expresses it, to think that,
in the Council Chambers of this great country,
such acts of barefaced spoliation can be
perpetrated with impunity, by men bound by an
oath to do justice to the community to which they
belong. The ratepayers had better hAe given
away the site of the Old Gaol than had their

claim to the right of self-government so
blackened, at a moment when a powerful
Cabinet are using a feeble and lifeless Parliament
in carrying forward measures of centralisation, and
are bent on sweeping all local management into
the hands of the Government. After such a
display of moral terpitude as that witnessed at
the Council meeting of Wednesday, we shall be
at a loss to know how to defend our pretensions to
the right of managing the affairs of the Borough.

It certainly woultl not be wise for the Burgesses
to have much land to deal with, seeing that th;,,y

do not know the extent of the estate they claim to

be theirs

ad cannot

nforee the sale of what they

do know to be their own, to the highest and fairest
bidders. The Council have, however, a standing

resolution to the effect th

orp prate property

shall be sold by public auction; but, in the present

instance, this most politic and necessary rule is
openly violated, without the slightest justification
being adduced—the" Council relying, no
doubt, on obtaining the sanction of the
Lords of the Treasury to the alienation of
the most valuable slice of the Borough property
for an inaqequate or paltry consideration. But we
would have the triumphant side of the Council to

think a littl

to pause awhile before they suffer
