The council met on Wednesday evening, 9th inst., as per adjournment. All the members present. Minutes of pl evious meeting read and signed. A petition signed by 150 Freeholders, Praying that the council defer the moving if the market until tush time as thestation s moved, or to first submit a by-law to the Freeholders for the expenditure for re- moval and gravelling, etc., was preaented by Mr. William Harding, who addressed the Board at length in support of the same, stating that the Freeholders in signing the petition for removal, had been deceived by false and delusive promises, and that now they were anxious, seeing that things had not materialized, to have the market re- main on the original site. He intimated that the petition wouli have been more largely signed had there been more time; the canvassers were told that the petition must be presented at once, before action for removal was taken. He thought, how• ever, that it was representative, and asked the oouncil to either honor it or reject it. Hearing of the petition, the work of re- moval had been begun before a chance was given to have the petition laid before the council, but he hoped, in their wise judg- ment the Board would defer action as re- quested Mr. Spackman thought that the petition was out of place ; that the present council had nothing to do but to carry out what their predecessors in office had arranged for, and to stay proceedingswould not be acting in accordance with the wish of the rate -payers, as signified by the vote taken last year ; the contract had been let, and he could see no proceeding other than to carry out the arrangements already made.

RICHARD PICKARD & SON. had elapsed since the vote was taken, and if the people wished the market to remain whore it was, why spring this petition in at the laat moment? He did not think it fair to the council. At this juncture, Mr. Tony, said the petition would have been in in time had not individual members of the council, hearing of its circulation, instructed the contractor to proceed with the work at once ; that had the special meeting of the council, called by the reeve, for Tuesday evg,. been attended there would then have been ample time to check the work of moving. irir: Carling said that according to a vote of the people taken last year, upon which the previous council bad arranged pre- liminaries, he was inclined to act, and to defer the droving he could not see why it was necessary, Just here some Itot words were exchanged, which necessitated the reeve to call order. Mr. Ross was sorry the petition had not been presented eocner ; the building was now on wheels and arrangements tnado, but however, in view of the petition tieing an influential one, would move that action be deferred, Ile got no seconder, Mr. Chriatie taking no part. other than object- ing to so much quarrelling over a trifling matter and something tlrnt had beau already Fettled. The reeve here asked why it was that individual members of the council should instruct the removal of the 13nard of Trade building, when at the last meeting, the conditions as proposed by the Board of Trade were not then accepted; what was a council for? He held that their offer should first have been accepted in counoil and then proceediuga taken for the remov- al of the building. The men who instruct- ed the work done could pay for it ; he would sign no orders for payment. Ho wanted business done above Board, After a deal of discussion oft this point in which it was said that the removal of this building was included in contract for moving of market building, it was moved by Mr. Spackman seconded by Mr.Carliug that the petitiou be fyled,—Carried.
