per their letter of 27th April last, the
without prejudice to any existing right of the township
Oxton." The bomniittee, therefore, resolved, that the
surveyor be instructed to reply to Mr. Danson, that the
committee will adhere to their proposition of the 27th of
April last, and consent to the proposition of the Oxton
authorities, of the privilege being granted in perpetuity, on
a. reference" to Mr. Newlands, or some other competent
and impartial engineer, as to what annual sum as compensa-
tion ought to be paid by the Oxton authorities to the com-
mittee for such privilege. The committee reported that they
did not deemit expedient to adopt any sections of the Local
Government Act, but recommended that the Birkenhead
Improvement Act be amended and consolidated at the earliest
opportunity. It appeared that the committee, in the former
resolution referred to, had offered the use of the sewerage
for seven years, at £1 per year.
Mr. Cook said there was something very absurd in such
an offer as that, and thought it would be a great injUstice to
the public.
The Chairman said it would be getting rid of a nuisance.
After some further conversation on the subject,
Mr. Cooke moved tbitt so much of the proposal to the
Oxton authorities as offered the use of the commissioners'
sewerage for seven years, at £1 per year, be withdrawn.
.Mr. Harrison, seconded the motion,which was afterwards
put, and carried unanimously.

I was in court at Stafford on the second trial, when Mrs
Swynfen was examined. In the month of June, after the
death of the testator's son, a statement was sent to my
agent is London, under the instructions from the
widow, the plaintiff in this action, that the testator,
*lid was then upwards of 84 years Of age, was incapable
of managing his own affairs. He was confined
to his bed, but his general health was excellent. The
telegram refusing the offer of a compromise was sent to Sir
F. Thesiger or. the StindaY. I saw him on the Monday,
and said, "I have received information that makes it
desirable that this should be arranged, " I deny' on my
solemn oath that ever I said "A witness we shall bOobliged

VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS,

Our patriotic, practical, and facetious friend, " the Butter-

HOW ARE THEY TO BE " GOT UP?"
At 7 A.3f., a " ifleman, in heavy marching order, armed to the
teeth, mounts guard in front the Butter Place, and there remains
on duty to 7 P. 31., with the exception of the few minutes he spends
before dinner in discharging his rifle, and rubbing up his arms.
In his pretty uniform, the ladies unanimously pronounce him
"a duck." Mischievous people say he's soiled by Sd. Butter; but

DEPEN,..Es OF THE COUNTRY.
Mr. Rae drew attention to the letter which recently
peared from Mr. John Laird, chairman of the board,
the Times, suggesting- the piopriety of having the ferry
;earners and tug steamers on the fiver Melsel, as well as
a the Thames, Clyde; .and other rivers, adapted to bear
part in the•national defences of the country, by ha:Ving
iem pierced for guns, at the governmeitt expense, and thus
Lye the much greater outlaysfor the building of gunboats,
Without at all committing themselves to the proposition.
lie (Mr. Rae) thought, and.he believed the board would
agree with him, that- the suggestion was one of importance
to be referred to the consideration of a committee. He
believed it was capable of being carried out without any
injury to the ferry service, and it might be with great
advantage to the public interest. He wished the com-
mittee to be allowed to make an offer to government, and,
therefore, moved that Mr. Laird's suggestion be referred to
the ferry committee for consideration, with power to them
to take such steps as they should deem advisable for the
public interest, having a due regard to the efficient working
of the ferry at all times.
Mr. Crooke urged that the resolution should be so shaped
as to make it necessary for the committee to come again

Mr. Rae agreed to introduce the words, "subject to the

" PRO-BONO PUBLICO."— This is a motto frequently made
use of, but not meaning what it implies ; but in
placing it
before the public in conjunction with Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, it is just the right motto in the right place ; for
these extraordinary medicines have conferred more benefit
on the public throughout the habitable globe, than any other
article extant. Witness the daily cures of debilitated con-
stitutions, asthma.s, coughs, colds, and cutaneous diseases,
effected by their use; and in cases where all other aid has
been unavailing; therefore, those:who really wish to benefit
their fellow mortals, should earnestly recommend thq afflicted
to make use of Holloway's celebrated ointment and pills.
