SYR LAWS

The Mayor's cnriltrunlcations comprising .copies of
bye-laws for amending the present bye-laws regulating
the slips, stairs, and stages, and the steam and other yes-
selssresorting thereto, were read and confirmed.

SINES ON ALDERMUN

Mr. HODGSON said he had given .notice of a motion,
-to the effect that the fine paid by Mr. William Earle, on
that gentleman having resigned the office of alderman,
be refunded to him ; and that he regretted'the notice did
not appear in the summonses. He submitted it upon the
.ground that he considered it improper that aldermen
should be subjetted to so heavy a fine, when they were
obliged to resign from circumstances, as in the present
ease, over which they had no control t•end he promised
that he would'bring the subject before the council on an
early day.

The Town-clerk said that Mr.'t arlerhad paid the fine,
and that the'bye-laws had fixed the -sum conclusively tit
£5O.

Mr. HORNBY said the course Mr. 'Hodgson had pur.
sued was highly creditable to him, and showed that that
gentleman was not influenced by personal considerations
—considerations by which be never supposed Mr. Hodg.
son to be influenced. (Hear, hear.)
The sUbject here dropped.
