WARD MEETINGS.

VAUX II ALL WARD.
On Wednesday evening a meeting of the electors of this
ward took place at the Cart and Horses, Vauxhall-road, for
the purpose of nominating Thos. Case, Esq., to represent
the ward at the ensuing municipal election. The meeting
was numerous, and comprised many of the most influential
gentlemen in the district.
Mr. JACKSON was called to the chair, and opened the busi-
ness of the evening in a brief but energetic address, in which
he congratulated the electors on having so sound and true a
Conservative proposed to represent their interests as Mr.
Case. It would indeed be lamentable to allow Dr. Black-
burn, the rejected of Lime-street, to walk over the course,
and he trusted they would triumphantly place Mr. Case at
the head of the poll on the day of election.
Mr. BECKWITH moved the first resolution, to the effect
that Mr. Case was a fit and proper person to represent the
ward. (For the resolutions in full see the advertisement.)
This was seconded by Mr. PICKERING, and unanimously
and enthusiastically carried.
Mr. RIGBY moved the second resolution, pledging the
meeting to use every legitimate means to secure the return
of Mr. Case to the council. He proposed the resolution
with heartfelt pleasure, from his knowledge of that gentle-
man as a conservative, and in every respect a truly good man.
He did not anticipate any difficulty in securing his election,
feelin€, assured that the electors would come forward and
manfully do their duty on the Ist of November.
This resolution was seconded by Mr. BLUNDELL, who
also complimented the candidate, and it was unanimously
carried.
Mr. MARROW proposed a number of gentlemen to form a
committee to conduct the operations, with power to add to
their numbers. The list contained the names of many of
the most respectable and influential members in the ward,
and others were afterwards proposed and added in the room.
The motion was seconded by Mr. MORGAN, and was car-
ried in the same spirit of unanimity.
A vote of thanks to the chairman was then passed by ac-
clamation. The thanks of the meeting were also given to
Mr. Marrow for his unwearied zeal and exertions in the
cause, and particularly for his energetic conduct during the
revision of the municipal registration.
Mr. MARROW returned thanks. He was not a man of
words, his motto being action-action; and he assured
them that he should ever be ready to render his utmost ser-
vices to the cause, whether in this way or any other. He
added that he was authorised to state, that Mr. Sandbach
and Mr. Tinne would both gladly have attended the meet-
ing, but were prevented by unavoidable circumstances. If,
however, another meeting of the electors took place before
the day of election, they would both be present.
This concluded the general business of the meeting, and
three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Case, immediately
after which the-members of the committee present began
to make their arrangements for the coming event—should
the opposition be such (which was scarcely anticipated) as to
involve what might be termed a contest.
