'She precise information relative to the- Corporate ;Estate,
ordered to be furnished on the motion of Mr.- Robert Son Glad-
stone, of the non-compliance with which order, after a lapse of
twelve months, I complained three years ago, has not yet been
supplied. It is most important.that, wherever the hitch lies,
and whatever may be the motive for, withholding it, this infor-
mation should be forthcoming ; and • should you again return
mo-to the Council, I will continue to use-my best' exertions to
obtain it.

I have endeavoured, as you are aware, to prevent the adop-
tion of a new mode of disposing of Corporate property, which
I consider most unjust to the present ratepayers, since it
infilets upon them increased taxation for the benefit of pos-
terity entirely uncalled for; and, failing in this attempt, at
least to insure publicity and 'fair competition on. all occasions
of sale or lease.- sous to obtain the. 'hest possible•terma- for-the.
public, and prevent even the suspicion of collusion and jobbery.
The importance of this question can hardly be over-rated.
With proper administration el the Corporate Estate, annually
increasing in value, and judicious economy in expenditure,
believe there will be no necessity fora borough rate ; but that,
otherwise, it will be unavoidable. . ,
Although a complete separation Between thee-Corporate and
Dock Estates has been effected, the interests' of the two are,
and must ever be, so interwoven, that, a'meraber of the Town
Council, anxious to do his duty, will. always have to keep a
watchful eye on the proceedings of the Dock Board; and the
Council-Chamber is certainly the place in which he'' should
direct the public attention to these proceedings whenever he
considers it necessary so to do. Aed this duty has become all
the more important since the transfer of its jurisdiction flora
thwCorporation to a body 'of gentlemen, many of whom have
no;interest in the permanent welfare of either estate.
The time may not be far distant when some • determined
stand against the extravagant exnenditnre of a body, co con-
stituted will be necessary, and especially on the part of the
owners of fixed property, who are the•persons most interested
in the proper management of the• Dock Estate. , Should such
necessity arise, I trust that I shall never be fount?. wanting,
either as your representative, or if that honour be denied' me,
as, a simple member of this great community very largely in-
terested in its welfare.

Being firmly convinced, after much inquiry and serious
reflection, that the rating of the. Dock- Estate, and all Other
public property, towards the support of the poor, is a measure
recommended not less by its justice than by its expediency, I
need hardly assure you that I shall persevere in the tise of my
hest efforts to accomplish that object,, in, whatever way they
may seem to be most likely to,be available.

In conclusion, gentlemen, I venturo w nope that fio further
exposition of my seFtim.ots or intentions will be deemed neces-
sary from use m this address. At your Ward Meetings, I shall
be happy to afford any other explanation which may be required.
For the present, therefore, t will only say that what You have
found me in the past, you, will,, if you think fit to renew my
trusteeship, find me in the foture,—a zealtus and painstak,
ing friend and advocate of every measure -calculated, in my
judgment, to promote the-prosperity of the town and port, and
the general wellbeing of the inhabitants. • -
I have the honour to be, gentlemen., yours, very respectfully,
