| Mr. ". >. BAKER deprecated the idea OF sending
| the resolution to the Board Of Aldermen. Thai
Board had already had the subject before them
and failed TO censure Mr., Boswell, a number OF
| tho opposition voting with the Republican,
to sustain him. He hoped that the question
would be taken as a simple resolution.
| Mr.. Tilley said that the resolution, as elemi.
mated by Mr. Connolly, had now been stripped
OF Its buncombe; that the Board would pass the
| resolution as matter Of justice to Mr.. Boswell,
whom the other Board had tried to remove.
After lengthy conversational debate, Mr..
Connolly said that as members seemed to think
that the point would be gained by q simple resol-
ution OF thanks Of this Board, he would accept
| the amendment.
The resolution was then adopted by the follow.
