Wiggins, M. Carmical aud Catharine
Williams to be placed on the list OF pau
pers were all referred to the January
meeting 1896, as there would be no money
before that time for paupers not now on
tsaid list.
The claim of r. E. Layssard for bury
ing Isaac johnson, was again rejected
for the reason that he was not on the
pauper list and the jury had twice refus-
ed to put him there for the reason that
he had grown children able to support
him.
