WATERFORD.
Notwithstanding the determined ef-
forts made,-since the year 1S45,-to
free the bridge at Waterford,-th
"bundle of Sticks" or "cld timber
toes,'- the long, wooden structure
is called by the citizens of the Urbs
Intacta, still ekes out it's existence af-
ter stormy career Of 100 years. The
recent viceregal commission was
gala time for the legal faculty, fort
night having been spent in taking evil
dence as to the case between the cor
poration of Waterford and the bridge
commissioners, varied by drives and
aquatic excursions in Waterford and
I'ramore. However, it would seem as
| if the timber monson, stated that his
first deposition was all lies; that he
merely told the story because the
police came to him and told him his
employer had already told it to them.
He further stated that he had received
money from the police and cup Of
tea, and that policeman told him
that if he did not tell, his neck would
be put in moose.
