A SC4NE IN THE CORE TOWN COUNCIL.

We quote the following from the Cork Examiner's
report of the proceedings in the Town Council of
that city on Thursday :
Mr. Hodder read the minutes of the improve-
ment department, which, he said, contained a reso-
lution of Mr. Sheehan, " That a crossing be placed
in (blank) street.
Mr. Franklin—l suppose he meant Duncan-
street. (Laughter.)
Mr. Sheehan—George-street, sir, is the plane I
wanted it for. Is it because I live in Duncan-street
you put down lies, you pious attorney' (Oh, and
laughter.)
The Mayor (rising)—l will not submit one
moment longer to this conduct. Mr. Sheehan
must leave the reom.

Mr. Sheehan—He mustn't, sir. (" Chair, chair !"
and tumult.)
The Mayor—l will have the chair supported.
(" hear, hoar," and " Chair, chair.") Call in the
Mayor's men. Mr. Sheehan must leave this room.
(" Chair, chair," and great confusion.)
Mr. Sheehan—l would see you all to the devil
first! (Dreadful uproar, during which Mr. Sheehan
advanced towards the Mayor, shaking his hands at
him in a menacing manner.) Is it for to speak about
that? Well, come on the whole of you. I'd kick
you all out you set of --. (Continued uproar.)
Mr. Hegarty—The chair should be maintained.
The Mayors's sergeant (Rum) having entered the
room, approached Mr. Sheehan, and, placing his
hand on the councillor's shoulders, endeavoured to
get him out without violence.
Mr. Sheehan—What do you want, you?
_ _

Rum—Come, Mr. Sheehan.
Mr. Sheehan—l won't go out for you nor for any
of ye. (Great tumult.)
Mr. Maguire—Oh, Mr. Sheehan will apologise
for what he has said. (Cries of " Apologise," and
continued uproar.)
The Mayer—Well, sir, do you apologise ? Do
you apologise, sir, for your conduct ?
Mr. Sheehan, who had been at this period forced
to the door, cried out, " I apologise, Mr. Mayor ;
I apologise."
The Mayor—Do you apologise ?
Mr. Maguire—He has done so.
Mr. Sheehan—lf I said anything wrong Ido
apologise ; hear Mr. Maguire.
Mr. Macarthy—Mr. Sheehan has apologised, and
I would submit that you need not, on the present
occasion, follow out this matter further.
Mr. Sheehan was then set at liberty, and order
was restored.
