the past. year be referred it to the
finance committee. Warden BIayo ns
chairman of the committee on accounts

committee on accounts.
This brought warden Gcavcs. the
chairman Of the finance committee, to his
feet who considered it an insult to him
self and his committee; the committee he
claimed, could do their duty, as they had
always done and they asked no odds of
any one, and if the motion prevailed the
committee would not confer with the
committee on accounts. Another rifle IN
the proceedings was caused 10y the sub
Ject of bonds being agitatcd. Warden
Mayo stated that Mr.. Gihcrt's bond had
been given 10 the Intcndaat who nc.
knowledged before witnesses that the
bond was in his possession and that when
the committee appointed to settle with

where 1t was. The Intendant denied
that he had ever had the bond in aues

: Warden Gleavcs thought the blame
lay with council who had neglect ted to
take proper precautions, and that 1t was
very unwisc proceeding to require
bonds OF a public officer and to let said
officer be the keeper of the bonds.
