draw his name.

IMr. Denton expressed his regret that Mr. Ayrton had
ithdrawn, and declared his belief that that gentleman
had been induced to do so, in consequence of statements
made, that there was a partiality felt towards him by
many of the board, and similar allegations.
Mr. Shaw and Mr. Owen stated that Mr. Ayrton dis-
tinctly informed them that his withdrawal was only
caused by the state of his health.
The Vestry then proceeded to a vote upon the three
remaining'candidates. There appeared for Mr. Rowe, 21
votes ; for Mr. Sayer, 13 ; for Mr. Davies, 12.
Mr. Rowe and Mr. Sayer were accordingly elected.

Mr. Chesney's name was placed on the committee, to
which Mr. Hastings, his predecessor, had belonged.
Mr. W. Jones gave notice that, at the next meeting, he
would move the appointment of a committee to consider
the propriety of making owners of all property of the
value of £l2 annually, and below that amount, rateable
for poor-rate, on the same principle as owners were held
liable by the Town Council for sanitary rate.
The business then concluded.

Messrs. Willoughby, Park, Goulborne, Bayliss, Bailiff
M'Donald, M'Whirter, Harrison, Verde, Meakin, Hind,
and Keeghley.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read, the board
proceeded with the business.

LIGHTING AND WATCHING COMMITTEE
The proceedings of the committt
comment. THE MARKET COMMITTEE.

were confirmed without

The proceedings of this committee contained no notices of
public interest, beyond the fact that the Town-hall had been
appropriated to the use of the Hamilton-street Chapel, for the
holding of a bazaar.

Mr. Goulborne objected to that portion of the minutes
which related to giving a tenant of the market (Corkhill)
notice to quit his stall in the market, and moved- that that
portion of the business be referred back to the committee for
consideration.
Mr. Willoughby seconded the amendment.

Mr. M'Whirter justified the course adopted by the com.
mittee, with regard to the alteration in the stalls, contending
that Mr. Corkhill would not be injured by the alteration that
he was requested to make for the accommodation of another
tenant (Whinn). He also contended that Mr. Corkhill was
not the tenant.

Mr. Bayliss stated %hat a letter had been received from Mr.
Corkhill by the committee, informing them that he was bona
fide the tenant of the stall in the market, and, therefore, had no
right to be removed
The Chairman thcught it would be a harsh procedure on
the part of the committee to oust an old tenant who had regu-
larly paid his rent, which Corkhill had always done.
Mr. Willoughby spoke in support of the amendment.
The amendment was carried by a majority of five votes.
THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of this committee were adopted.
THE ROAD AND IMPROVEMENT C )MMITTER.

The proceedings of this committre were confirmed without
comment.

The Chairman then explained that the notice of the erection
of a wall by the railway company, had been left to the surveyor
to the hoard, and to the company's engineer, and that he had
no,doubt but that the matter would be settle]. He conceived
that the committee had acted very properly in the course they
had adopted in protecting the township from any encroach-
ment. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of this committee contained a letter from
Mr. Charles Gore, offering to purchase certain portion of the
foreshores, for the sum of £2,300, to be paid in certain
instalments. He also decided, on the application of the
post master, that the post-office was not rateable property,
being used exclusively as a government office.

The proceedings were adopted and confirmed,
Mr. Aailia referred to the financial statement male by Mr

Ale at the last meeting, which he contended contained many
and tended to give misrepresentations to those who
were outside of the board, and regretted that Mr. Rae was not
present that he might have asked him a few questions.
The Chairman explained that the whole subject would be
discussed at the next meeting. He then alluded to the selling
of the foreshores to the Woad& and Forest, which he conceived

omissions

a very great improvement.

THE FERRY COMMITTEE

The following is the statement of the ferry receipts for
August, in 1855, £2,638 9s. 7d., and for 1856, £2,789
3s. 3d. Receipts froth the 24th April to 31st August in 1855,

were £7,212 4s. 7d., and for 1856, £6,234 18s 10d.
Mr. Harrison, in moving the confirmation of the proceed-
ings, said that in consequence of some alterations that had been
made, the statement did not contain an exact gate of the
accounts, and would not until jaauary next.
The proceedings were confirmed.

TRB DOCK WORKS.
At the request of Mr. Aspinall, some letters were read, and
The Chairman explained that he thought the arrangements
that had been made were extremely satisfactory, but he thought
that the board had a right to expect to be supplied with a
plan of the works. He then directed the attention of the
board to the crowded state of the landing stage on the
Liverpool side of the water, and stated it, as his opinion,
that the traffic would be much augmented when the new
landing-st.ge would be completed. He thought that the time
was come when the board and other parties on that side of
the liver should step in and claim greater accommodation,
and suggested that the ferry committee should have interviews
with the railway companies, and other parties, and then wait
upon the corporation and dock committee v
with some welt-
devised devised plan. He agreed that the increased scoom d'ation
would be as groat a benefit to Liverpool and Manchester as
it would be to places on that side of the wat-r.
Mr. Harrison said the subject should beconsidered
the committee, and a report prepared by the ne by
xt meeting.
The board soon after adjourned, - •

POLICE COURT

. A FAITHeut. FRIEND ! —A woman, named Mary Glynn,
was charged by a Mrs. M‘Nulty, who said she went to
the Isle of Man, to see her daughter. She left the
prisoner in care of her shop, leaving, also, 30s worth of
goods in the shop window for sale. The prisoner, it
appeared, took so much care of the "goods," that she
disposed of all in about half an hour, and instead of
swing the proceeds for her friend, she called in her
rhums, got up a glorification, ani spent the money in
drink. She was not content with that, but she went to
Mrs. M'Nulty's grocer, and "raised" Os or lOs worth of
stuff," and also at a public house, she got a quantity
of drink on the strength of the prosecutrix's credit.
One would think the prisoner should have been satisfied
-vploits, but she was not, for she broke open
_, and stole a gown out of it and pledged it. The
prisoner was remanded to Thursday.

clothes belonging to sailors, and also a Russian bill,
value £2O, from another sailor. The constable produced
a quantity of clothes that had been stolen by the pri-
soner, and the owners identified the garments. The
sailor who lost the bill said, he left it in a pocket book in
his boarding house, from which it was stolen. The
constable said he found the bill on the prisoner. His
Worship said, if the men who owned the clothes were
not going to sea, he would send the prisoner for trial,
but he would send him for three months, with hard
labour.

keepers were very much in the habit of putting goods
outside their doors, and this tempted unfortunate boys
and others to run off with things. He repudiated the
practice. The prisoners were sent to gaol for three
months.

STEALING WEARING APPAREL. —Alice Berlick was re-
manded on a charge of stealing a larp quantity of

to bis Worship the sum of £5, which he had received
from James Thompson, Esq , of 46, Rodney•street, who
had requested that the amount would be applied for the
benefit of the soldiers' wives who had applied to his
Worship, a few days ago, for relief. Mr. Mansfield said
he felt much obliged to Mr. Thompson for his benevo-
lence, and ha was glad to find that the subject had
attracted notice.

THE ORGAN NUISANCE.—Three fellows, who it was
said gained a living by playing upon organs, were
eharged with having assaulted one of their companion;
to such an extent, that he was confined in the Northern

A BAD SAMPLE.--,Vgirl, nulled Sarah Smith, living
with her widow mother, in CollingvvOod-street, was
charged with an assault. The mother stated that the
girl had become so undutiful, that she could nut do any-
thing with her, and that on the previous night she came
home and struck her. Her conduct was very bad, and,
as she had three children younger than she was, she set
them a bad example. Mr. Mansfield ordered her to be
committed for six months, and be kept to hard labour.
