ADJOURNED ANNUAL SESSION.

The adjourned annual meeting of the county magistrates
was held on Wednesday last at Preston, when 140 were
present, the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks in the chair.
A recommendation of the Kirkdale magistrates that a
donation of twenty guineas each to Mr. Chalmer, surgeon
of the prison, and Mr. Thomas Chalmers, his assistant,
should be allowed for their extraordinary assistance and
exertions during the cholera, was not entertained.—The
salary of Mr. Fannin, inspector of weights and mea-
sures for the Ormskirk division, was agreed to be raised
from £3O to £4O per annum.
Mr. E. Ashworth presented the report of the committee
appointed in June last, to enquire into the county expen-
diture,—a copy of which had been sent to each magistrate.
He submitted a motion to the effect that the office of
county treasurer required the undivided services of an
able and active accountant, and that as Mr. llulton, the
present treasurer, had accepted the appointment of judge
in one of the courts, the exercise of the functions of that
office was incompatible with those of treasurer. After
much discussion, an amendment was proposed to the
effect that the treasurer should appoint (and pay £2OO per
annum to) an accountant, who should act as sub-treasurer,
&c.—The amendment was seconded, but upon a division
was lost by 41 to 84 votes.—Mr. Wilson Ffrance remarked
upon some arrears of rates due by several towns, the col-
lection of which had not been duly attended to.
Mr. Ijulton said that, after that expression of opinion
on the part of the court, he must return that trust which
they honoured him with eighteen years ago into their

hands.
Mr. Ashworth moved, that the treasurer hold the office
till the end of the current year in April next. Agreed to.
The court then adjourned.
