literature, A MANUAL OF METHOD FOR PUPIL TEACHERS AND ASSISTANT MASTERS is the title of a little work by Mr. A. Park. (London: Blackie and Son, Old Bailey.) It is intended to assiet pupil teachers and students in training colleges to acquire a good and sound method of teaching. The iuleB laid down seem to be sen sible, and the examples, of which there is a large collection, clear. Beginning with hints on school discipline, the author goes on to deal with the ordinary subjects of a child's education, and with English literature, the classics, modern languages, science, anddraw- irg. There are also remarks on physioal exer- cises suitable to children, and an appendix, which contains a number of questions asked at Queen's Scholarship Examinations on Method. The book is one that may, no doubt, be useful in many cases in supplementing the hints of an experienced teacher. SAMUEL WILBERFORCE." Faith Service Recompense. By Thomas Pinchea, M.A. (London Kegan, Paul, and Co., Paternoster- square.) These were three sermons preached on the Bishop of Winchester, on the Sunday after his funeral. Regarded simply as sermons, they are good, earnest, well-written discourses of the conventional type, with the addition that the life of Samuel Wilberforce is made to ex- emplify the maxims inculcated. The author is evidently a very ardent admirer of the bishop, and on the occasion on which he preached no doubt this would impart additional interest to his sermons, but we suspect few of those who read them quietly at this distance of time will feel dispoEed to go so far as Mr. Pinches. Dr. Wilbetforce was a most able man and a good man, but he had his failings, which were notorious to all the world exoept a few hero wor- shippers, of whom the author appears to be one. Still, the sermonswill repay perusal. Of the fate that usually awaits published sermons the author gives a very accurate account in his preface. We think hia book deserves a better fate.

THE PROPOSET) SHTMNEX RAILWAY BRIDGE. The public works committee reported that thay I considered the agreement between the Rhym- "cy Railway Company, M.r. C. H. Williams, and tve corPoration as to the proposed bridge under railway, andrecommendo itha^it be proceeded th. Councillor Duncan inquired why the quea- j had been re-opened after the resolution come s? by the council at their last meeting. The >! ~eputy-Mayor explained that it was owing to an Ejection on the part of Mr. Williams to pay £20 Conveyancing expenses. Oa the motion of Coun- cillor Eeee, seconded by Councillor Treseder, it resolved that, as the formation of the bridge 1tas a matter of public interest, the corporation 8hould pay the amount to avoid delay. THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. On the motion of Councillor Duncan, seconded Councillor E.

THE GAS TESTING QUESTION. VJD dealing with the report of the lighting and h!?6* committee, Alderman B><»en asked, in ^"alf of the gas company, .that they be allowed J? have access to the testing room of the corpora- on during the next mouth He said the company anxious to do their duty in supplying gaa of i proper standard, and it was annoyiug r? find that the testa of the corporation <*ud tneir differed. They felo sure there was sooie- jT^g wrong with the corporation testing ap- lbtus, and desired this opportunity of diaaover. ^,8 the defect. Councillor Armstrong proposed the company be allowed the privilege they JJlhested. Councillor Sandsra, as chairman of gas committee, said they felt that they scarcely been fairly dealt with by the j. lopany, as they had called attention to fact that their gas Bupply was below standard on the average once a month, the letters upon thejjubi'-ct were either not .Piled to or it was stated that there was soma in corporation test. The committee had jY objection to the company testing at their appa- •hr!i0' 'n sam9 way that tae corporation ^T^ld have authority to test the apparatus of the j^lpany; but the inspector to tae oorporatioa informed the committee that the oompany had r°SitiTely_ refused to allow him to teat when ft? applied to be allowed to do so. glee the matter had been before the magistrates 1 > company had used a new burner, bat the maintained that, according to law, were not bound to accept any teat except J^t which was in use when the Act came into ratiotl, or Bome other approved buraar," c^ioh must be accepted by the two con- ^oting parties. As the committee did > approve of this new burner, (which < ill** 60 constructed as to show a greater ^Oiinating power, by two candles or more, than Ah burner), nor of any other, they maintained they were not bound to accept any other 5s* than that of the original burner by which agreed to be supplied. The company bound to afford the oommittee every ty for testing, and if they would the two burners tested side by C*6 at their works there would be no difficulty ? Settling the question. Alderman Bowen said ?? company denied that the testings of the com- C*'tee were oorrect, and if they had the oppor- JJJlJty they would prove it with the committee's ft11 apparatus. They knew the difference between burners to a Bhadow, and were satisfied that was something wrong with tbe K^Biittee's apparatus.

THE PURCHASE OF THE WATERWORKS. It was resolved, upon the motion of the Deputy Mayor, eeeonded bv Alderman Bjwen, that the town clerk be instructed to give notice to the Caidiff Water Works Company, that the corpora- tion require the company to "ell and transfer tile water urèHtaldng to the corporation. PROPOSED SUNDAY OPENING OF THE FREE LIBRARY. Councillor Duncan drew attention to a. notice of motion by Dr. JVIilward appealing in tha library committee's report, wbiun, he said, if carried, would have tho effect of altering the blS upon which the institution was founded, and he wished to knew whether that committee was under tbe control of the corporation. The Ciark {.lowered in tho Rlhrmative, and several of the council remarked that they could overrule any action on tbe part of the committee of which they did not approve. MARKET RETURNS. The financial clerk was instructed, on the motion of Councillor Enoch, seconded by Coun- cillor T. Davies, to make a return ot the net income received from the market for the last three years, and submit it to the council at the next meeting. Ihe reports of the various committees were adopted in due course.

SWANSEA HARBOUR TRUST. ACCEPTANCE OF A CONTRACT FOR THE EAST DOCK. The monthly meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trustees was held on Monday, when there were present-Measls. F. A. Yeo (chairman), F. Price, £ fctrick, W. Thomas, James Eogers (Mayor), J. li. Francis, E. K. Daniel, J. I. Evaas, I. Ford, T Davies, L. Tulloch, J. Jones Jenkins, W. F. Richards, W. Robinson Smith, W. H. Browa, G. B. Strick, C. Bath, Thomas Cory, and E. M. Pi chard s. Mr. C. BATH moved that the minutes of the finance committee, which were read by the clerk, be adopted, and that the seal of the trust be affixed to mortgages on account of new works. he said that the returns fcr the past month were satisfactory. Tho shipping rates received were larger than during any previous month ot this year. They were .£4011s. 4d. in excess of the sum received in the previous month, and £383 8s. 4d. in excess of the amount rectived in Ainy, 1878. There was a surplus of £3Uô 4a. Sd. iatha working of the whole harbour estate, notwita. staading tome extraordinary expenditure which had become necessary. The toRO dredgers hod been at work for a considerable time past, and thus had increased the sum paid in wages to a great extent. On the working of the pabt 11 months there was a surplus of .£8U5. as compared with a surplus of .£3,15t> on the corre- sponding period of last year. There had of late been all. increase in the number of vessels of 350 tons and upwards entering the harbour, and they might not unreasonably suppose that tiiey were now beginning to reap the benefit of a reduced tonnage rate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CORY seconded tbe proposition, which was carried without discussion. The CLERK read the report of the East Dock Ccnmittee, which was to tbe following effect:— In presenting their report the committee ex- pressed regret at the delay which unavoid- ably oceuired ia connection with the various negotiations in which they tad been engaged pre- paratory to the commencement of tha construc- tion of the new East Dock. In accordance with the powers which had been invested in the com- mittee they had taken steps for acquiring tae properties comprised in this undertaking. Agree- ments fcr the purchase of the more im- portant of these properties had already been entered into, and the purchase from ihe Duke of Beaufort of tae Fabiau's bhy ano iorcshore, ou which the greater p..r of the wcikb were to be constructed, had btea com- pleted, and the morwy paid, so taat ia this mpect everything w<s reaay for tha commence- ment ot the work. it was satisfactory to tae committee that there was evary reason to expac6 that the Parliamentary estimates of the value of these lands would not be exceeded. The com. mittee considered that, as they ha.d sufficient money in hand to carry on the works for two years, they were justified in recommending the immediate commencement of the dock, aud the letting of the contract. They had been in con- sultation with Mr Abernethy, the chief engineer, as to the minimum amount 01 work which it was necessary to carry out before the dock could be opened for traffic. Mr. Abernethy had reported upon thia matter, and had prepared a plan which the com- mittee placed before the trust. A tender from Mr. Thomas A. Walker of 110, Cannon-street, London, to complete the bulk of the work in this plan had been received, and the amount of that tender was .£196.472 3s. lid. Mr. Abernethy had examined it, and recommended that it ba accepted. An additional expenditure of about would be necessary to construct the low level railway and other works. Mr. Walker had offered to accept payment of .£50,000 in the four per cent, debentures of the trust, and the com- mittee recommended that his tender and offer be accepted, and that the clerk be instructed to draw up the contract for the immediate commence- ment of the work. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that reference had been made to the delays which had occurred, and which no doubt had been disappointing and vexatious to many of them. It would not be wise, he thought, to detain them that morning by detailing the voluminous correspondence which had taken place. Those delays had not occurred through a lack of zeal on the" part of the committee in prosecuting the ta-k which had been entrusted to them, and it was to him a source of great satisfaction that day that they found themselves in a position to recommend the commencement of a work so important to the port of Swansea. The report referred also to the purcnaseof land, and this was a point which had involved a large amount of negotiation, but great progress had been made, and Fabian's Bay, which constituted the site of the new dock, and which did belong to tha Duke of Beaufort, was now the property of the Harbout Tmet of Swansea. (Bear, hear.) The committee had alfo entered into an agreement with the Earl of J rsey, by which he bad agreed to take the purchase money of certain land belonging to ,hIm in bonds of the trust—(applause)—-taus showing his confidence in the undertaking. (Hear, hear.) Tho committee were now en- gafetd in negotiations for other proper- ties which must be purchased before the docks could be completed. It was a source of gttat satisfaction, and was contrary to the ex. PfHecce of most people, that the purchase money TUld not exceed the Parliamentary estimates. e *nost important portion of the report that tv1«ri\lng.Was ^be recommendation in reference to Ttnn» 'lnil! °f the contract. The committee Jf T ^ended th«tit should be let to Mr. Walker, urVif ,m tw~La J110"* responsible contractor, from ? received the beat references.

Another important ajinouncemeat waa tae faot that he had agreed to take one.fourth of his con- tract ,money «f the trust at 4 per cent.

Within 12 they hfcd succeeded in raising hhpved that when the dock waa cominvnoe funds to complete tho total sum require (. £ 240,000) would be forthcoming. Th8 decision of the ti list that morning would mark an epoca in 1he histoiy of Swanoea. Everyone present kne w the necessity of having deep water, and in confirmation of that he read letters showing that a vessel of 2,500 tons, and drawing 22 feet of water, bad to go to Cardiff to be loaded, because there was not sufficient depth of wator in Swangt-a. Financially the dock must be tuccepsful, because tha trustees would rocerve from th^ railway couipany the cast of ooEFtructing it, and would then receive the whole of the rates on goods and shipping, lees te current e-zpenoiture. He moved the adoption of the f pnxt. (Api-lnUSO.) Mr. G. B. STRICK seconded. » h. T. a'.vU-dUiat no rojH bo 1 jib d u'.un .tie was that thia ^uaotwa hal s>otf.nc«& to the prs&fviit afc^s*.

He hoped that this was only the bcfeittBing of a nearer connection between his lordship and the harbour trustees. (Applause.) He reei^iooated the interest his lordship had tafcen in tne work of constructing a new dock. He thought it would be undesirable to relax the tSorte niJ'de to obtain money, because the ecnirector, however eminent he might be, must be I aid. lie MAYOR slated that the clan which was before them showed that it was intended to destroy Fabian's Bay and the sheet of open there, in order to construct the dock. Alter locking at that plan, his opinion of Air, Abernethy waa not very high. It was not reoeetary to destroy Bay, and tfcen the Fast Pier would not be tonoaed. It appeared to him tfeat Mr. Abernethy was creating esfficultitK in order to overcome them. When the Fiu-t Pier had been taki n down and tho channel maintained onttide, that channel would inevitably be silted up unless it could be scoured. A stream of water would scour it. but the trustees were obliged to use steam power in order to do so. There was an outline of a protecting horn in the plan, but nothing had been said about the cost of that. Be had looked anxiously for the facili- ties required in a port having three very exte nsive docks, but he could not find an inch of ground which could be utilised as a dry (iocs or a gridircn. If the dock were constructed in another plate, tbe edge of Fabian's Bay could be utilised for those facilities, but there was nothing before him which— The CHAIRMAN You are quite out of order. This question has been dieousBed before, ani all that has to be done to-day is to decide whether we shall accept the tender and commence the work. The MAIOR: If I out of order in making my Mr. EICHARDS I rise to order. The MAYOR I do Eot want you to riae to order. I am in order. Mr. BICHARDS According to the usages of all meetings lwaintain that whenthe chairman calls a speaker to order tie speaker ought to ait down until the chairman has finished. Ihe MAYOR I stood still. Mr. BICHAUDS You interrupted the chairman. The CHAIRMAN I maintain that the whole of the circumstances appertaining to the new dock hr.ve been already discussed. The MAYOR stated that when he waa asked to give his consent for the expenditure of he had a light to oriticise the Bcheme before him. He regretted that the proceedings of the committee had been conducted so mysteriously. He asked wha.t would be tbe expense of the protecting horn, and what was its length ? The CHAIRMAN said that the expense would be between .i.3,ltù\J and .£4,000, and the pier would be 460 feet in length. Mr. L. IULLOCH stated that, with the exception of fcunderlund, he never saw an approach to a dock less sheltered than the proposed entrance to the East Deck. He quite agreed with Captain Davies upon this question, and added that a ship cumirg in in a gale of wind would have no shelter whatever. Mr. FORD did not agree with Captain Davies. It was a great advantage for a vessel coming in from sea to go right into dock. It was probable that they wonld find it necessary to extend the Fast Pier to prefect the entrance, but why that tier hud beeu called a "horn" he failed to see. it would be precisely the same as the West Pier. The CHAIRMAN, in replying, said the "horn" would be constinoted, but it was not necessary to do it immediately. fiter further remarks he put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carried nem. dis. lhere was no other business.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF CAhDIFF IN 1878. Dr. Paine, M. D., M.R.C.S., the medical officer of LeBlth to the Urban Sanitary Authority of Card;ff, hs& iesued his rsport for 1878, which con. taint- a fur d of valuable information on the sani- tary condition of the borough. After observing it is t-jitiuiactoiy to state that the progressive im. provement which marked the history of 1876 and 877 was maintained throughout the whole of Ibî8, be proceeds to comment on the meteorology ot the year, the drainage, the water and food supplies, and the births, deaths, and mar- iit K's- 1 be drainage he describes as efficient and flftidactory as regards the central division of (Jaidtfi:, and the western division of Canton, but 1he eatt tr Heath division will soon require cot- eiceiatkn, the iapioity of the growth of popula- tion in this locality having rendered the present sj stem oi sewerage afforded inadequate, especially at the eastern portion. Referring to the water tupply, he Rajs the remarks he has previously made upon the general unfitness of the well waters of Caroiff are covered and borne out by ex- perience. The public supply of water being now under the consideration of the board, this is a fitting time to express an opinion on the quality of the water. The water as now supplied by the waterworks company is derived from the Llanishen Reservoir and Llandaff Reservoir. For a town supply, the hardness of the water, and the organic matter, little though it may be, are the chief defects of the Llanishen supply. The water which is pumped up at Ely is not derived from the river Ely in any considerable quantity, bat it is the water furnished by the strata in which the subterranean channel is situated that is raised into the Llan- daff Reservoir. It ia not, therefore, the character of the Ely Biver water which requires to be primarily considered, but that of the water which percolates through the strata at the pumping station. The nature of the subsoil shows that it belongs to the magnesian limestone formation, and the chemical composition of the water indi- cates that this is the case. The highly cultivated foil in the neighbourhood, the increase of popula- tion, and the very probable spread of the city of Llandaff in the direction of the gathering grounds, from which it is proposed to increase the supply— such as the Badyr Water Brook, for instance- are considerations of vital importance. Where the magnesian limestone occurs the subsoil is intersected by fissures and slip cledges, which renders it very pervious to water; and where the subsoil is grave), contaminated water may travel a considerable distance. The drain- age sixt sewage pollution, to which the river Ely is subjected, render it unsafe from a sanitary point of view to take a supply from, and aft there is every probability of the populatioa increasing, it is not desirable that water should be supplied from such a source. If it be aèmitted-whieu he fears it cannot b9—that the points in favour of the use of the water from the Ely beds rendered it adapted for drinking purposes, there would remain a consideration of appreciable importance in the value of the two samples of water for domestic pnrposoa. The average total barer ess of the Llanishen water is 18 parts per 100,000 parts, and of the Ely water 27 parts per 100,000. According to Dr. Frankland each degree of hardness indi- cated the destruction of waste of 12lbs. of the best hard soap by 100,0001bB. of water, and with a population of 80,000 thete would be an expendi. ture of necessary in older to remove nine parts of hardness per 100,000 parts of water. The population of Cardiff in 1878 he estimates at 81,228. The number of marriages during the year was 721, of births, 2,795 and of deaths, 1,468. The death rate contrabts very favourably, not only with the death rates of the large towns and the kingdom generally, but also with that of the email towns and coaatry parishes. The report concludes with a statistical statement of the work of tbe port sanitary medical officer. The total numbsi of in-door patients at the Hamadryad Hospital during the year was 505, and of out-door patients 3,314. Three vessels were visited with small-pox on board, nine vessels with fever, three vessels with erysipelas, eeven vessels with dysentery, and five vessels with diarrhoea.

Stone, the Chairman, while dio. claim-rg any d< eire to thelve the ma.'ter, sag- getted that ita consideration should be postpone i until Mr. Stone's recovery. He was sure tasy wcttld all be giad to hea.r that Mr. S:on'i health waf- ituprcA i»g, and agree that it was desirable that he ehculd state hia views upon the subjf ci lefore it was d, alt v. ith. (dtar, hear) Tha HE-v. V. fcaukz said he understood that r. Store would not be well enough to sitond the board meetings for several months, ard urged that it would not be fair to Mr. Evans, who had the largett area of any of the Medic! cScers to attend to, and whose t)by was one of the,, emiillest, to so long defer the rectification which it was proposed to make. It was impossible for Mr. Evans tckeep a horse upon the very email salary be waa receiving at present, anà as it was necessary for him to keep ono to enable bim to carry out his parochial duties efficiently in the very large area under his care, he thought the board ought to take the question of increasing his stipend into early con- sic eration. He v. as Euro that Mr. Stone would be the first to propose an addition to it, und he, therefore, moved that Mr. Evans's Balary be increased by .£50 a year. The Chairman pomted out that, by a standing order of the board, such a motion could not be put without previous notice, which had not been given. Mr. Saulez, observing that thefhairman was always ready to knock him ever, gave formal notice that he should make the pioposition that day fortnight. The Chairman said he presumed that Mr. Saulez did not expect him to pass over irregularities in conducting the business, and that when a member of the board was out of order he should correot him. (Hear, hear.) In this case he had corrected Mr. Saulez because he was out of order in making a proposition of which he had not given the requisite notice, and, further, he believed it was to the interest of Mr. Evans himself that euch notice should be given, in order that the question might be fully considered and under. tood. (Hear, bear .)-Dr. Paine drew attention to the case of James White, an old servant of the board, who has been for many yeatB gardener at the Ely Schools, but whose ill.health now tenders him incapable of working. As the man bad conducted himself well, and given satis- faction to the guardian j, and had a wife ard six children under 12 years of age dependent upon him, Dr. Paine proposed that he be super. annsated by the board with an allowance of X20 per annum. The Clerk stated, in reply to Mr. W. Lewis, that the board were entitled to make such an allowance when an official retired through .pbysical disability before completing the 20 years of service, which was otherwise essential. Mr. Moore supported Dr. Paine's motion, and suggested that the allowance should be 10s. per week, but the proposed increase in the amount was not seconded. Mr. Francis moved, as an amendment, that the superannuation be not allowed, as, in consideration of the existing hard times, be did not think the board would be justified in it. Mr. Bassett seconded the amendment. Upon a show of bands the original motion was carried by 14 votes to five for the amendment.—Referring to the Fly Schools, the Chairman stated that there were a certain number of children there whom the medical officer did not think it desirable should be with the others on account of complaints from which they were suffering. He, therefore, proposed that a pauper should be selected from the workhouse for the purpose ot teaching them, in order that, though of necessity kept apart from their schoolmates, they should not be brought up in ignorance, The suggestion was unani- mously agreed to.—The Clerk directed atten. tion to the following communication re- ceived from Messrs. W. Wride and B. Wride, the sureties of Mr. P. Wride, the irregularities in whose official accounts were before the board some time back The auditor of the Local Government Board having completed the examine] firm nf fliA annontifa nf Pofor Wm/Ia 1.t. lieving officer of St. Mary's parish, the over- charges, together with the payments due by him, have been paid to the treasurer of the union. We deeply regret the irregularities which have ocourred, but we respectfully submit that they may in some measure be attributed to the payment -of relief for short periods adopted by your board, and the want of a pr.>per method of checking the relief list on pay days. Taking into consideration the large number of paupers (an average of 500) who are paid on Saturday evenings, it seems almost impossible to avoid errors. We trust that your board, in con- sideration of the fact that all claims have been properly discharged, and in sympathy with his relatives, will order that all further pro- ceedings in the matter be stopped." The Board decided to take the matter into consideration a fortnight hence.—The weekly returns showed 17 admissions, 26 discharges, 1 birth, and 3 deaths at the workhouse, leaving a total of 359 inmates, being an increase of 8 upon the corresponding week of last year. The num. ber of vagrants relieved was 88, compared with 52 in 1878. At the Ely Schools there had been 2 admissions and 4 discharges, leaving 238 inmates, an increase of 7 upon last year. Out. door relief had been given to 2,849 persons, at a cost, of JB278 5a. 5d., being an increase of 104 cases and J810 2a. 3d. in the expenditure com. pared with 1878.

Mr. BROWN said the beginning of this business was this. Six weeks ago he stated that certain sums of money ought to have been received by the overseers, which were payable to them by law. That resulted in an application being made to atery overkeer in the union to make a return of the moneys they had received during the past eix years. He told the guar ..nun a distinctly, as he told them now, that a considerable amount had been paid to charitable institutions." He con. tended that that was a misappropriation. The money was;to bo paid to the overseers of the poor and no ore cleo. He bad only to lay hia case before the Local Government Board, and he had no doubt there would.po a summary order for the money to be paid to the overseers. He was ear- prised at the part which the chairman took the previous week, because it placed him under the mpression that the chaicumn. Mr. Stratton, iYJr. Lyne, and Mr. Huxtable wished to shelve this question. Whether he was right or not he need not stay to inquire. He LOW presented a return for last year, which he had made up from the loeii newspapers, showing the fines paid in respect of cruelty to animals, & The chairman was in. tereeted in the parishes of Machen Upper and Lower, and he could no doubt call to mind many heavy penalties under the Game Laws during the last six years, yet the overseers of those parishes bad stated they had not received a penny during all that time. Last week Mr. Lyne insinuated that he (Mr. Brown) had made 36 charges, but was unable to support any of them, and that they were a myth. Mr. Lyne was wrong in bis numbers. He preferred 236 charges, and desired to be present when they were investigated, but was denied. The investigation occupied half an hour, and the result was it was declared to be a perfect myth. On a previous occasion he preferred a charge, and Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary at that time, nude an order that the books should be examined by him (Mr. Brown), and the retnlt was that .£48 of ore year's return had to be paid. Of 00 charges which he made, he withdrew 11; Mr. Fox aud himself were still at issue as to 4; the Govern- ment auditors decided in hia (Mr. Brown's) favour in 10; and in 44 cases Mr. Fox had char ed two fees where he was only entitled to one. That dis- posed of Mr. Lyne's "myths," and Mr. Hux. table's "bottle of smoke." He must, however, give Mr. Huxtabie credit for the days and nights he f pent in assistirghim to search out these CIBes, for he never would have made a ti uhe of them out but for Mr. Huxtable's valuable assistance. Last week he stated there was a sum Of X,144 accounted for; but when he went home he found, on going over fcjf: papers again, that it was .£256, the sum for et; ch of the six years being .£105, X- U), .£50, £ 26, £ 14, andXSI. Tin amount received by the over. seers curing those rix years was only .£29. That re presented .£53 in the shape of penalties. His amount represented the full apount of the penal. tics, and he contended that they (the guardians) were entitled to h:d of it. Having read a form of letter which he Luggeated should be written by the clerk, he mentioned tin occasion on which he spoke to Mr. W. Evans, & borough magistrate, regarding matters of t:bi¡: kind. Mr. Evans said, as Mr. Stratton d, (I "Let us have one case before us, and see if we can deal with it." He give him a case. It was a conviction for cruelty to animal3, which had taken place eleven months before, and Mr. Evana sect; for Mr. Kessick. In 15 minutes after that was done, Mr. Kessk/k was down at Mr. Power a (the assistant overseer) and paid him. a moiety of tha fine. That was acting as the law required. It was not for the overseers to look after the mcn.'y, but for the clerk to py it to the overseers. Mr COPE ssid he expressed the op nton last week thc-t ti-.is ,vafj a matter entirely outside the jn-isciction of the guardians. Thó overseers of each parish must see after this matter for thimi selves. If the guardians undertook to manage the private affaire of each parish, they would have an infinite tniount of work.
