turned out to be just what we eltpectedthat is, in a
Majority. We calculated upon a majority of% 100, but
as we could spare votes, we divided our duplicates, and
even oar respected chairman, Mr. Rigby, voted in
another ward, at the last moment. It has been no small
task to keep ahead against-calumny, falsehood, and, all
kinds of shifts and schemes which have been used
against us.; but lam glad to say that not one of my
suppoiters or coinmittee would stoop' to do that which
our opponents have done so systematically: We have
gained by fairness, truth, and honour. (Cheers.) I
have myself during this contest been abused, calumni-
ated, and insulted most egregiously. I may add
that the requisition which was presented to me
was signed by the majority of the intelligent,

draw "attention to the resolution of the committee, call-
upon the Poor-law Board to dismiss Dr. Leather

Mr. SCOTT was of opinion that after the public ea,pos
of, Dr., Leather's character and conductin the town, the
public opinion called imperatively upon the board to do
something more than pass a resolution. He thought
