by whose authority the Mayors SER
geants and macebearer had gone to
Dublin with the mayor, for the recent
st. Patrick's Day procession, in that
city,-the mayor having stated that he
went as q private gentleman and paid
his own expenses. Alderman Kelleher
described Lord Mayor Pile Of Dublin
mouth took exception to; and Alder
man Cave said the lord mayor of Dub
lin was no more Nationalist than Mr..
Kinmouth. The latter then approached
Alderman Cave threateningly, and a
fight appeared inevitable; but the par
ties were separated. The mayor then
left the chair, amid cries of Coward
from Alderman Kelleher, and "Sir
Daniel'' from the gallery. Alderman
Fitzgerald then took the chair; and, the
town clerk and secretary, refusing to
act, the agenda was got through by the
thirteen members who remained after
the general breakup. Those who had
left the chamber comprised Parnellites,
Tories and commercial members.

belongs to one Of the Oldest families
in Glare, but has spent nearly all his
life in Australia, where he sits as a
