been removed from his office at the time of the passing of the

claimed compensation. He claimed the sum of £5,37,4 10s., or
an annuity of £337 • 10s. doling his life. The claim then set
forth-his fees and salary for each year, from 1830 to• 1835; for
salary £3OO, for fees £lOO, forcuaolutueut of house £5O, making
iitotal of £l5O for each year.
The TOWN CLERK proposed that the Council should act on
this occasion as they had done when the county Cot:Oiler's-64in'
was laid before them. That the Consolidated Paid Officers
Committee should then take the subject into consideration and
report to the Council thereon at that sitting.
The committee then retired.

- The MAYOR announced that it would be necessary now to an-
nounce to the.rectors whether their attendance was in future re-
quired at the Corporation Schools. They would expect such a
communication to be made to them.

Mr. Councillor HORSFALL thought it would be better to
transmit to them a copyof the Education Committee's resolu-
tions, and request or not their attendance: he should suggest
to request their attendance.
Mr. Alderman ROBINSON would suggest that the subject be
referred to.the educational committee.

Mr. Councillor SHIRL would read a resolution of the com-
mittee that the schools be placed exclusively under the.commit-
tee.

After some further conversation it was agreed to refer the
subject to the Education Committee to do what was right.
A memorial was read, from the inhabitants of Cleveland-
square Market, praling for some fish stalls. Steps had been
taken for That purpose.
A letter of thaul.s was read from the organist of St. Thomas's
Church.

A memorial was read from the master chimney sweeps, praying
the Council to put in force the late act of parliament, referring
to them, for the purpose of making their trade more respecta-
ble, and clearing the town of worthless sweeps. Referred
amidst laughter to the improvement committee.
The Paid Officers Committee now returned.
The TOWN-CLEIt K read a resolution of the committee,
that
the claim of Mr. Wm. Parlour having been referred to the con-
solidated committee, they having taken counsels' "
opinion upon
it, have agreed to report that, in their opinion, the said claim is
invalid; and Mr. Parlour is not entitled to any compensation."
Mr. Councillor H. LAWRENCE, having seen opinions on both
sides, was,. not prepared to give an opinion. lie agreed with
the committee that they could not do otherwise than they had
done, but it must be put in the wav of trial.
The MAYOR.—That rests with Mr. Parlour.
