to the effect that the ratepayers be allowed to consider the
matter further.

Mr. Rampling seconded the amendment.
Mr. Downham made a long speech in faveur,of the
adoption of the act, and made some observations on some
clauses of the act, which he thought would place the
township in a better position.
Mr. Webb then followed, and explained that there
should be no fear en their part to adopt the act, as
several other townships had done so.
Mr. Collins moved that the consideration of the Ines-
tion be postponed for a week, but withdrew his motion
on Mr. Williams's explaining that, by such a proceeding.,
the Wirral Water Works Company would have their bill
passed before that time, and they could not offer any
oppositio'

in his opinion it would give the board power which they
had no right to: A tremendous scene ensued at this
, a description of which would be

PUBLICANS' AND BEEESELLERS' cA.sus.
Mary Powell, the proprietress of the Royal Hotel,
was summoned for selling drink at an unlawful hour on
Sunday last, at half-past nine a.m. Two officers who
appeared to substantiate the charge, (Pave evidence to the
effect that they went into the tap of the hotel, which is
in Moorfields, dressed as navies, and that two other men
followed them, and had glasses of rum for which they
paid. Mr. Bluek, who appeared for the defendant,
made a furious onslaught upon the conduct of the police
officers, describing it as unmanly and un-English to
watch about disgutsed as navies, obtain admittance into
publie-houses, and thus induce others who might have

seen them to seek an entrance also. -Besides:the two
men who had been served with drink, were two ostlers
who had been engaged ,all Sunday morning in conse-
quence, of a wedding which had taken place from the
premiSes. Fiued 20s. and costs.
James Garner, who keeps a public-house in Ti tl___
street, was Charged with permitting drunkenness
on his premises. It would appear that about half-
past three on the morning of Friday, the 25th instant,
two officers visited the defendant's public-house. They
found four men and the landlord in the back room, all of
them drunk. There was drink on the table, as also a pack
of cards and 2s. in money. For the defence, two of the
men who were there on the occasion, and the landlord
himself, positively swore that not one of them were under
the influence of drink; but the officer reiterated the asser-
tion that they were all very drunk, and added that the
landlord had said, " Here, officers, have a drink, and
don't say a word about it." Much hard swearing fol-
lowed on both sides, and the mo.tristrates ultimately in-
flicted efine of 10s. and costs.
Martha !Price, who keeps ,a public-house in Gildart's-
gardens, was summoned for selling a glass of rum and a
glass of ale at half-past one on Sunday morning last. Mr:
Block admitted the offence, but, as an extenuation, he
said that Mrs. Price did not know that the drink was
being served, as she was up stairs at the time. Her
mother, who was on a visit from the country, had sold it,
not being aware of the illegality. Fined 10s. and costs.
Benjamin Frew, publican, Rose-place, Rose-hill, was
charged with permitting drunkenness, &c. At half-past

lINCIIEON'S LECTURE.—At the Collegiate
Institution, last night, the Rev. Mr. Puncheon lecturd
on "The Huguenots." The attendance was very
numerous ; so crowded, indeed, that we are surprised how
the ladies could applaud under the heat. The ther-
mometer could not possibly be under 89 or 90, and this
taken with the warmth of the speaker —it was almost
suffocating. Mr. Puncheon's lecture was certainly a
most brilliant and oratorical display; but we could wish
that it was less abusive of his enemies, and less eulogistic
of his friends. But we cannot complain; the lecture was
a most interesting and entertaining one. He gave full
and graphic descriptions of the lives of the leaders of the
Huguenots, and was most vociferously applauded. It
would be presumption to give the lecturer's ideas in the
space we can devote to the subject, and we must, there-
fore satisfy ourselves with this notice. In the absence of
the Rev. J. B. Lowe, the Rev. Mr. Bardsley presided.
