No ToLLs.—A singular scene took place at the
last county meeting in Ross.shire. Mr. Ross of Cromarty rose up and
moved that all the tolls throughout the county should be discontinued
and !Art down. This declaration caused both merriment and surprise in
the meeting. General Munro of Teaninich seconded the motion. It
now became necessary to say something against the joke; and Mr. Hay
Mackenzie moved a direct negative to the motion, as the subject was
too important to be disposed of in so summary a manner, the meeting
being qte unprepared for such a motiou-, and a great number of the
heritors being absent. Mr. Davidson of Tulloch seconded the views of
Mr. Hay Mackenzie, but of Mr. Ross of Cromarty had surveyed the
ground, and arranged his plans, and he carried the motion by a majority
of 14, the numbers being 22 to S. How the' roads are to be maintained
was not resolved upon by Mr. Ross or his friends.—lnverness Courier.
