Alderman Reynolds : I don't think it necessary to reply to
such nonsense as that. (Laughter.)
Mr. Whelan : There is a general feeling here that no one
should reply to Alderman Reynolds,tbe is so contemptible in
expressious ; but he is a man not fit to associate with
gentlemen.
Alderman Reynolds : I must call this man to order.
Lord Mayor : Alderman Reynolds, I believe I must call you
to order, for you said something to provoke it.

Alderman Reynolds : I ask you are we convened to listen to
such absurdity as has been uttered ? Why, under the cir-
cumstances, should such a preposterous amount of mad capers
for a moment he permitted to he proceeded with here ?
Mr. Whelan : My Lord Mayor I had expected that before
this you would have sent the Sword Bearer to take hint by the

Alderman Reynolds : I ask you to go on with the business,
and put an end to this raving madness. It is really shameful.

The matter then dropped
In days not long ago such an altercation would
have been followed by ‘` pistols for two and coffee
for one," and the following morning would have
seen the parties " shivering on a daisy" in the
Fifteen Acres. But those good old times have
passed away with the old coaches and the old
sailing packets, yet it seems rather strange that the
amenities of society do not appear to keep pace
with our material progress. It would be as
well if members of public bodies were to
reflect that there are " Chiels among them takin'
notes," and that publication follows as a matter of
course.
