the schools ' • that the children of both persuasions were as
well cared for as they possibly could be, and that the funds
by which the schools were supported were not the property
of one creed or class in particular, but the property of all.
Mr. SHELL begged to second the motion. He did so with
pleasure, though he knew Mrs. Boyce to be a member of the
established church. He wished to remind Mr. Sands, that
up to a late period there was no Roman Catholic mistress in
the South School. Nevertheless, the Roman Catholics were
willing to depend on the truth of their own doctrines, and
were in no fear of having them affected by what seemed to
affect the nerves of others. (Hear, and laughter from the
radicals.)

The motion was carried, and the proceedings were con-
firmed.

THE CHURCH EXPENDITURE COMMITTEE

The proceedings of the Church Expenditure Committee
were read, from which it appeared that Mr. John Tomkinson
had contracted to repair the Church of St. Michael for £450,
and the Church of St. Martin for £lBO, and that his contract
had been accepted.
Mr. CASE congratulated the council on the much smaller
sums for which both those churches could be' repaired than
was supposed in the first instance. (Hear, hear.)
The proceedings were confirmed.
HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The proceedings of the Health Committee, comprising a
notice of bills for the improvement of small dwellings within
the Municipal Borough, were read and confirmed.
Mr. BInKETT advocated the shutting up of certain of the
parochial burial grounds. Some discussion ensued on the
subject; Mr. Evans and others proving that such a step
would either be infringing on private rights, or putting the
Corporation to expense for compensation. Mr. Birkett
said, an amicable arrangement could be come to. Ultimately,
Mr. Birkett's proposal assumed the following shape :—" That
the Town-clerk be directed to submit to the House of Com-
mons a clause in the notice of the bill proposed for limita-
tion of interments in certain of the parochial burial places ;
and that the Health Committee be empowered to settle the
terms of such clause, and to take the subject thereby pro-
posed into consideration, and to report to the Council
thereon."

The MAYOR read a communication from the Pilots' Com-
mittee, complaining of the danger arising from steamers
being moored too near the pierhead. Referred to the Finance
Committee. _ _ _

The MAYOR presented memorials from the inhabitants of
certain parts sf the town, complaining of nuisances from
various factories and from marine-store dealers keeping large
quantities of bones in their cellars.
Mr. CASE moved the following resolution :—" That the
memorials on the subject of nuisances presented to the coun-
f.'l be referred to the Finance Committee, with directions to
tiie prosecutiog solicitor to report to that committee thereon,
and particularly how far the alleged nuisances appear to affect
the general health and comfort of the borough, in order that,
with the report of the prosecuting solicitor, the Finance
Committee may report to the council on such restrictions as
may appear to the committee proper for relieving the council
from prosecutions that may appear to be go far of a private
or limited local nature as that they oueht not to be taken up
by the council prosecuting for the public, and at the expense
of the general borough fund."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. JORDAN, and carried

unanimously.
The council adjourned at a quarter before two o'clock.
The final meeting for winding up the business of the mu-
nicipal year will be held some time about the close of the
present month.
