paid poor-rates and district rates] Coun. Williams in seconding the rejection said the Institution belonged to St. Leonards, and therefore the St. Leonards Commissioners should be asked to pave the front. Coun. Ross would admit that they could not spend money on a more commendable object; still, he should vote against it. Ald. Rock enquired on what principle the pavement was laid down by the Board in front of the Infirmary? An institution like the one in question, ought, he contended, to be assisted, and the more so, as such educational and otherwise useful societies were not often well provided with funds. The application was negatived by 8 to 5.
Numbering of Houses. At the same meeting, in response to an application, it was resolved to number the Long Fields houses consecutively from top to bottom as St. Mary’s terrace; also Stonefield road in a similar manner.
Further Numbering and Alterations. At a later meeting (Nov 3rd) a previous order to call York Buildings York street was rescinded in compliance with a memorial to keep to the original name. On the opposite side one part was called York place, and one part Wellington place. The inhabitants on that side desired it to be called by the latter name.

The original motion was carried by 9 to 5; hence the present odd numbers on one side and even numbers on the other.
A New Fishmarket. At the November Council meeting, it was resolved on the motion of Coun. Bromley, to erect a building for a fish market, at an estimate cost of £700, the same to contain 14 stalls, which if let at 1/6 per week, would yield an annual revenue of £54.
Iron Stone. At the quarterly meeting on the 5th of May, sanction was given to Mr. Chas. Sharpe, to take one or two hundred tons of iron stone, at 6d. per ton, to be sent off for smelting purposes as an experiment.
To Widen the road. At the May meeting of the Council the Clerk stated that no reply had been received from the S. E. Railway Company to the question on what terms they would part with a piece of ground to allow of widening the -
