have occurred to my own "knowledge , in which Chairmen of Boards of-Goardians have refueed to put a motion wbic-b was in contravention of the law ; aud further , tiat such eondnct has not only been sanctioned by the Poor Law- Commissioners , but that it has never been called in question by any party whatever . " Mr . vYbigley wished to kno-w why Mr . Svrain had not done so at the last meetir . gr , and thus saved them any further trouble . If hrj was determined to act up to the orders of the Poor'Law Commissioners , it was no use the Guardians meeting at ill . The Ckairmax—At the last meeting , Ivas not provided with ~ & proper knowl edge of my duty . Mr . Wbiolev said it appeared to lilni , they were rrrinir to carry the measure , in tte . fa . ee of the countn , and while acpmmiUee were sitting to investigate iu > working . He did not wish to stand and say rial the new law should not be carried into effect ; but he said , it was unjust to do ^ o , while that enquiry was peudiDg .

( Applause . ) ilr . JiiDGLEY said that the law wes so varied and changeable ' -bat / be did not understi . nd it ; and he really believed thai the Commissioners did not knotc what the law was themselves . He begged of tbe Chairman for his ovmi sake . ( Shouts of '' Oh , dew ! " " Explain , " aod' ** Question / ' ^ Yes , 3 Ir . ij ^ ain was appointed their Chairman ; and if he cocld prove that tbe raotaoa he ( Mr . it . ) had mado was illegal , then" be weald at ones beg him not to put it . The Chaismax—My duty is , to refuse any motion or amendment $ hat may be made , in contnivenSon of the law , to ^ defer the business of electing a Clerk from this c ^ y- I have obtained the best authority on the subject . Mr . Midgley—And a pretty one it is , the autboritv rf three Penr Law Commissioners ! Am I . to understand that whatever they say you toneieve to be law ? . 1 be Cbatrmak—I shall take it as the best authorial can get . and-act upon it . Mr .-Mn > 3 LEY tiion moved that-Mr . Swain vacate tie Ciair , which :-was seconded by Mr . James Parkix . Mr . Moorhot > £ E said that the Chairman was elected for' 12 months , and could not be removed until the next election of Guardians , on the 25 th of March . Toe vtry uct which gave them authority t-j appoint - a Chairman said also that they shciild elect a Clerk . They could noc prevent it , aad therefore they had better not interrupt business . ( Di ^ approbatioa JV Mr . Shaw also enquired wl . y the election was not made last April ,, if three Guardir . ns could do it . "Was it because the-olil magistraits acred lite men , and fresh J ^ r-Jfipio Guardians had to be chosen to come to the shameless act . ( ifoaie gentlemen thought this unfair and out of " order , " which led to scaie wranjrlirg . ) His opinion was that if they elected a Clerk , \ bey WDuld'be dp'iverei icto the hands of the three Hin ^ s of Soaierset Hoase .
