Mr. CHARLES TURNER said he was very happy to
say he had known Mr. Tyrer as a merchant, and one
of the most respectable, as well as of the most respected,
in town, and he thought it a rather ungracious move on
the part-of Mr. Sheil, to move that such a respectable
gentleman, with good sense and sound judgment, should
be removed from the Finance', Committee. He (Mr.
Turner) had not the pleasure of being a member of that
committee, but he hoped the affront would not be cast
upon Mr. Tyrer of displacing him on the committee.

The MAYOR said that as the Council were about to
elect a Health Committee, he might state that he had
received from Mr. Theodore Rathbone, a very long
letter on the subject of the inspection of the lodging-
houses. He could' not decypher the letter, but a copy
of it was being made. He understood, however, that
the writer desired some gentlemen who take an interest
in the lodging-house question to be placed upon the
Health Committee.

Mr. WILLIAM .IB,LE hoped the Health Committee
would pay more attention to the Act for the Regulation
of Common Lodging-houses. They ought to bring
some of the keepers of those houses before the magis-
trates,
and see if something could not be done to remedy
the crying evil that existed in our town.
