On Saturday night, the Town Com
missioners of Bel Air appointed John
Jackson bailiff. The necessity for this

and good order of the town is maintained.
For some weeks past the disorder has
become almost unbcarable and it is the
duty of the Town Board to suppress the
same. The majority Of our people are

order, which is now prevalent. We do
not mean to criticise the present acting
bailif' who has only been filling this posi-.
ton in nominal manner.
