The gas mains were about to be extended to the station, and an arrangement had been made with Mr. Hamer, the Manchester and Mil ford Railway manager, by which the station would be lighted. He believed it was the intention to place a lamp near the station gates.—The Board agreed to the erection of the refreshment room lamp, but not to the proposal respecting Bridge-street.— The Clerk was requested to write to the proper authorities respecting a small tree in the front garden of the police station, which obscured the light of the lamp placed near that building. ilfacadLim.-The Board agreed to purchase the stones broken at the workhouse by vagrants.

He believed some one had been lately run over in that street on a fair day.— Mr. Jenkin W. Evans said the builders had plenty of room, and there was no necessity for them to put the materials on the r'):1d.[r..Tenkins'sletter was then read respect- ing the measurement of the property attached to the houses in College-street; and Mr. Jenkin W.
