Resolped, That the pretended bond offered by
c. N Averill, the alleged late Inspector OF Flour,
| as a substitute for an alleged bond given by him
hereby disapproved and acted, said bond nav;
| ing been rendered nine i,3nths after the period
within which 1t should have been presented &C
coring to the ordinances Of the city, ana In Ine
said Averill having been adIudGed by the Clty
Council to have forfeited his office for causes as
signed, and having been removed from tne ONCE
OF Inspector OF Flour by the votes OF more than
nine members Of Council for such causes ''as to
them did seem sufficient after full hearing OF tne
case,n and the successor OF the said Averi nav,
ing been duly elected after the removal OF the said
|
Resolred, That the said pretended bond be re-
turned to the said c. N. Averill.
Alderman Collins objected to section OF the
resolution which called Mr.. c. n. Averil the late
Flour Inspector, because Council had formally
declared that he was never Flour Inspector.
Alderman T. ]. Mackey said the point was well
taken, and changed the resolution SO as TO read
''the late alleged Flour Inspector"
i hot
mitted be retained on file, and not returned, as
the resolution provided 1t should be.
Alderman 7. ], Mackey said he would offer as
substitute to the second resolution, "that the
| pretended bond and communication be received
as information"
The resolutions were then adopted
Alderman E. W. NJ. Mackey asked If there was
communication from Mr.. z. C. Tharin, and
moved that If there was such, 1t be read.
Alderman E.. p. Wall seconded the motion; 1t
was carried, and the communication read.
The communication stated substantially that
E. c. Tharln had been appointed Floar Inspector,
anG was at this day the legal Flour Inspector OF
the Parishes OF st. Philips AMI ST. Mlchael's;
that both Mr.. c. N. Averill and Mr.. Caullleld had
illegally held the office; that the decision of Chief
Justice Moses was for the purpose OF allowing
the legal Flour Inspector to accept his office, ana
as he E. C. Tharin, was the aforesaid legal Flour
Inspector, he requested his said Office, and warn
ed all persons from holding the office, or inter-
fering with the rights and privileges thereon.
The reading Of this communication or protest
caused considerable amusement.
Alderman T. J. Mackey said he had listened
with profound attention to the protest, and was
certain that no one could tell whether Averil OF
Caulaeld should be the most grateful for it; II
would appear from the protest that Tharin's term
of office had expired at the time Of the election
Of NJ. Caulneld, and moved that the protest be re
ceived as information and published with the pro
ceedings.
Alderman Collins seconded the motion.
| Mr. r. s. Tharin desired to be heard In eXplana
tion of the protest which he had read; wherc
upon several Aldermen let off several bad puns
about -four inspectors and .fotce'-y speakers, &c.
Mr.. r. S. Tharin commenced to speak, when
Alderman T. j. Mackey desired the speaker &c
state exactly what he wanted Council to do; ne
thought Council was prepared TO do anything
Just at this time.
Mr. Tharin stated that he desired Council TO
take time to consider the protest.
Alderman Mackey said he agreed with Mr.
Tharin that Council should take tlme and movct
that the Goth day of September, 1871, be appoint
ed to hear the question
The motion was loudly seconded ana consider
