NEW ELECTION OF A COMMON
COUNCILMAN FOR COLEMAN-STREET
WARD.

Yesterday a wardmote was held in the ward of Cole-
man-street, for the election of a Common Councilman,
the election of Mr. Cousins having been declared by
the Court of Aldermen null and void.

Deputy ALLAN presided.
Mr. CAaTER proposed Mr. Cousins again .to the
ward, and Mr. Roberts seconded the nomination, de-
claring at the same time that whatever ground might
have existed for believing that the honourable candidate
was ineligible on the former occasion, there was now no
doubt whatever of his eligibility, and a person better
qualified could not be found.

Alr. Pittr.urs proposed Mr. Bracher as a candidate
of high respectability, who had been for 28 years a re-
sident of the ward, and had filled all the offices with
great credit to himself.
Mr. LECREN seconded the nomination.

Mr. PERKINS said it had been reported that Mr.
Cousins was not qualified. There was not the slightest
foundation for that report, for his name was on the
rate-books, together with that of his partner, for nine
years, as haVing paid scot, and it could not be said
that he had not borne lot, for his partner had acted as
constable, and that was tantamount to service by himself.
Upon a show of hands, the majority was declared to
.be in favour of Mr. Bracher, whereupon a poll was de•
'rititirded far Mr.: Cousins.
-,atre contest is expected to be a very sharp one.
