In answer to a question from Mr. Crellin

there was an erasure in one of
the collectors books, lint the collector denied that he knew
anything about it. He stated that it must have bean done
by Mr. Lnya after the books had passed through his hands.

Mr. Alderman Holme strongly deprecated discussion until
the enquiry had terminated, and the council had the whole
subject before them. He thought the remark of Mr.
Beckwith, as to the dismissal of Mr. Bally, a little cruel,
and a little premature. In justice to an absent man; he
thought such expresssions ought not to be used. They
ought not to condemn a man while the case was yet under
enquiry, and who, for aught they know to the contrary,
might not have been in fault. .

Mr. Woodruff said, in rererence to Mr. Kitchen's reso-
- -

committee thou-ght it desirable to open that-space of ground

committee would not have thought of closing it, but,
instead of that they found some hundreds of men playing
at leapfrog, and some throwing stones there every evening',
and the peoples' windows were broken, and they were con-
sequently complaining very loudly against this, and that
which was intended to do good was turned into a positive
evil.
Mr. Haydock said he bad visited the place on several
evenings, and he could sec nothing such as Mr. Woodruff
described. He was of opinion that the market should be
left open to dusk.
Mr. Gladstone referred to the circumstance of a woman,

named Agnes Gibson, who had memorialised the market
committee, to let her have her stall back which she had. a
short time previously occupied, and which she was obliged
to close on account of severe family bereavement, in
the loss of two sons. The • committee refused to
accede to the memorial, and the poor woman,
seeing nothing before her but the workhouse, threw
herself into tht • river, and was drowned. Ile (Mr. Glad-

stone) did not attach any blame to the markets' committee,
but he thought it was not too much to ask that the officials
should in future report more particularly in such cases. It
appeared that she positively tendered the rent to the
collector, but unfortunately it was too late, as it had been
let to another party.
Mr. Cropper agreed with Mr. Jeffery that, there should
be a play-ground in the north end, as well as in the
south.
Mr. Dover said, he was in the neighbourhood of this
market often, and he never observed any disturbances, such
as had been referred to, and he thought, under the circum-
stances, the place should be kept open.
Mr. Johnson said, there was no one could regret the
circumstance which Mr. Gladstone had alluded to, more
than him, but the committee were bound up by their own
resolution, to re-let a stall un-occupied more than seven
days. In reference to Mr. Bally, he thought the markets'
committee were not to blame for not dealing with him.

—______
Mr. Kitchen's amendment was then put to the .vote, and
was carried by a majority of 32 to 7.
The general proceedings were then confirmed.

tion of the South School should take plamon Monday, the
