GARSTON BOARD 00 HEALTH.

The monthly meeting of the Garston Bard of Health
took place in the beard-room, Aieburth, at four o'clock
ysterday. The eh dr was taken by J. A. Tonne, Esq.
The other members present were—Messrs. J. G. Morris,
T. A. Watts, H. G. Sutton, John Bevan, S. H. M'lnt3re,
W. D. Chidson, C. Oh 'Honer, and John Moss.
The proceedings of the Finance Committee were read
and confirmed, upon the motion of Mr. Morris, seconded
by Mr. M'lntyre.
The proceedings of the Works and Health Committee
having been read,
M-. SUTTON moved that so much of time proceeligs be
not cor.firmed as related to all questions of sewerage and
the outlay connected therewith. He urged that the
notion carried at the special meetirg in reference to that
subject, had not bean snfficiently considered by the board,
and that at the meeting of the Works' Committee, the
members present were not even aware of their power; ; and
the ques'ion of eompensation to parties whose lands was
touched had not ben included in the outlay. He raised
several objections to the proposed plan of sewerage, which
he contended was taking the sewage quite out of the
natural course.

The CHAIRNItN sairl the plan had been adopted by, the
General Board of Health in London. The resolution
passed at the special meeting wag, that the area be rated
as a whole for sewerage purposes, and he une.erstood that
the motion now brought forward had reference to that
questic n.

Mr. Strrrow seid he thought himsef at liberty to refer
to the objections which he entertained to the plan. He
then proceeded to refer to the proposed arrangement of the
district as a whole, and eincluded by proposing that the
resolution of the special meeting he rescinded, reservirg
for the present any observations he bad to make as to the
sewerage plan itself.
Mr. MORRIS seconded the motion, and strongly urged
th' nee• ssity of rescinding the resolution passed at the
special meeting of the 11:h of August, which declared
that the sewerage area of the district should be rated as a
whole.

Alter a short converration, the motion was put to the
vote, wh.n there appeared 5 for the motion and 4 against.
The motion was therefore carried.
Mr. Mounts then moved that the diafrict be divided into
A rating purposes. ue Gallen
the Garsior,Aigburth, and Geosiendale districts.
Mr. WAITS secorded the motion.
The motion Mira carried by fi in 2.

The urrertudAN remarked,that the B ,ard had obtained
authority from the (21-? n Tel Board of Health to raise a
sum of money, amounting to £2:2,630, assessible upon the
whole township. As they had now divided the district
into three rorticns, it would be necessary to get a fresh
order. He did Eo t know that there would be any difficulty
about this, but it would he necessary that some steps should
be taken for that purpose.
Mr. MQRRIS then proposed that the Law-clerk be
directed to apply to the General Board of Health
for power to b,rrow the following Bums for the
seperate districts :—For A'izburth, £11,473; Grassendale,
£5,219, and Garston, £5,938, in lieu of the total sum of
£22,630 upon the whole district.

Mr. 'WATTS seeonied the reotron, which was a's) agreed
to.

A letter was real from Mr. C. P. Melly, requesting
permission to place, at his own expense, some seats for
the use of the public, on portions of the roads of the
Aigburth districts.

Tne letter was referred to tho Surveyor to report upon,
the chairman remarking, that if the Board agre,:d to the
principle, and he did not see why they should not, of
having seats placed in the district, the Beard should not
leave the expense to fall uToo. Mr. Meetly. It was agtecd
that in the mcantimo, a letter should be written to Mr.
M lly, thanking him for his communication.
Mr. MORRIS proposed that c, rtiin sewers in the Aig-
burth and Grassendale districts be at once proceeded with,
which was egreed to.
Mr. STITT -1,7 moved that the sirveyor he requestei to
report as to Garston, and the hest me-ins of availing
of its present sewerage, and for providing addiiional
'nears.

Sane cnversa`ion tcck place on the motiart, which re-
Fulted in the Survfycr being regnested to report as to
the best means of lay'ng oat £5OO on the district of
Gars'en.

11/47aw Yoax Quinr.—The .Vern York Times says :
After the two months of txci'ement we have just passed
through, there is at last a prcspect of a ve'y decided
calm. Mayor Wood has left the city for a fortnight;
Mrs. Cunningham has been taken to the Tombs ; the two
Street Commissioners re in a state of dead luck wielioat
a chance of another certiorari, quo warranto, or habeas
corpus; the Police Compeissioneis have aejourned until
next month, and the Dead Rabbits are as quiet as mice.
There has never befera been so heal•hy a season, and ail
fears of yellow fever or cholera hare vanished.
N,VEI, MODE OF "RA/SING THE WIND."—The Secre-
tary at the Guardian Society for the Protection of Trade
informs us that a highiy respectable firm in the city lately
received a letter from a stranger in London, announcing
that as he was passing the G.:nersi Post Office there, he
obs rved amongst the list of unclaimed letters one which he
thought might be for the said firm. He stales that he
noted their proper address opposite to the letter, and he
hopes the post-ofEc> c'erl•s have observed his notification,
and that the firm in question have received the letter.
However, betakes care to say that although what he has
done is but en act of kindness, sill he was at one time in
o good way of business, but is row in very destitu e cir-
cumAances, and a poitsge stamp is of consequence to him.
The letter was forwarded to the Mendiciiy Society in
London, and a reply has been received from the " beggiog
letter department" of that society, stating that the writer
of the letter has been known to them for six years, and
that he is not a proper object of benevolent assistance.
The firm received i.nother letter within this day or two re-
snindirg them of the f,,rmer ore, and saying—"ln narniog
my present unfortunate state I dtd net make the srghtest
demand for my very humble services, but should you be
p'eastd to make mo a small return in postegi stamps I
should be scry thankful for your kindness." It is very
likely that he has found this dodge successful in multiplying
bis postage stamps, and parties should be on their guard
against such a novel system of fraud.—Glasgow Hail.

Scotland-read, fJr sixoence. The policeman said he called
at Mr. Holland's to request his attendance, but he did not
come on Monday as desired. Yesterday Mrs. Holland
attendee, and said that Mr. Mansfield had made an order
to the effect, that pawnbrokers need not attend the c )urt
on Saturdays and Mondays, as these were their busiest
days. Mr. Mansfield said he never gave such an absurd
and foolish order, and he did not think any magistrate
wculd make such an order. The girl was sent to jail for
two months, with hard labour.

late in the employment of Mr. John Kirby, the well known
sheriff's officer of Peter's-lane, was charged with having

was charged with having stolen the boots, and
handing them to the male prisoner. Mr. Black

was a person of very bad character, and that
about a week since he succeeded in carrying off the girl,
who, according to her father's account, was lif‘een years'
awl a half old, bat according to her own she was twenty.
He induced her also to go to her father's house and steal
ten pair of boots, which he reesived from her. The pri-
soners were remanded, in order to have a certificate of
the girl's baptism, so that the male prisoner night be

teen yea's' of age.

Cumberland-street, was charged with having violently
assaulted Alice Dowling. The sister of the latter and

affair), and nearly split her skull with a blow of a poker.
The prisoner was tent for trial.
