When the resolution for the recommendation was nasaed, they had also considered th a t the salary should ho attended to as well. Tho work of the School Attendance Officer was an oxtensivo one. For example, in the month of August the officer visited 200 eases, gave 48 notices to families to send their children to school, sent out 10 warnings, and in .addition to this he had the books to keep, he had to report every month to the committee, had to take copy of the minutes in order to carry out the suggestions of the committee, and in taking out summonses he had to get up the evidence and he iiad all this to do for 10s. per week. He devoted nearly all his time to the work, and under the new arrangement he li.ad as many as 150 cases to investigate each week. When the Coramittco considered tlic matter a t first, 15». per week was mentioned. Tliis meant ;£39 per annum, and i t was decided to put i t in round figures and call i t £40.

the members of the Town Council and the bur­ gesses upon tho education of tlic town. He thought there was no borough bettor situated. Although they had no School Board aud no secular schools, he believed the wishes and desires of tlie parents were met. There were 2,200 names on tho committee’s hooks. As the number of tlic inhabi­ tants of. the borough was about 11,000, they had more than one-fifth of the entire population attending school. Taking into consideration tho cxistenco also ot a Grammar and sovcral private schools, he thousht tliis largo proportion was a matter for congratulation. Under the Education Act, he considered they were working economically.

appeared for tlie plaintiff, and Mr. Baldwin f the defendant.


'M r . Lancaster stated that on June 26th, Hartley ‘


was removing furniture from Clithwoe to Craw- shawbooth. He was going through Loworgato_ in


the direction of Salford. His vAn was. being


drawn by. these horses.' When opposite Mount Zion Chapei he noticed the defendants trap a short distance ahead, standing a t the comer ot Wilkin Brow. Defendant, who was in his trap, on seeing Hartley’s Tan approaching, palled over to his proper side of the road, and commenced moving slowing in nn opposite direction. When his trap was jnst about opposite tho middle horse attached to tho van, his own horse began to bohaTO ns tliough it wero frightened, and shied a t the Tan. I t frightened all three of Hartley’s horses .by backing into' the middle one, and they set off a t a gallop. Instead of running straight to balford Bridge, they attempted to turn down the steep incline of Wilkin brow. The van «ieels caught on a lamp-post, which thus acted as a break, hut the van was driven ivitU grcjat force against a wall, knocking some brickwork down, and injuring one of the horses. Ho (Mr. Doncaster) would call evidence to show tliat this same horse belonging to tho defendant had acted similarly on a t least two prerions occasions, and he contended th a t as the (Icfciulaiit could not help hut know of the animal’s Ticiousness, he brought i t out a t his own


Lancaster’s version of the affair, and said he would have jiassed Dickinson all right if the la tte r had not crossed the road just in front of Ins first horse. He did not see the commencement of the accident ns he was walking nt the rear of the van on tho other side. The horse was so seriously injured th a t lie could not work i t for a week or two, and even yet i t liad not fully recovered.—Uross- examined by Mr B.aldwin: He had not observed tlint he passed any horse and trap just previous to the accident. He did not hoar Dickinson call out

They had appointed a Nuisance Inspector, a t a salary of £65 per annum, to superintend nnd generally inspect the v.*ork of removing the nightsoil, and i t was chiefly for this work th a t ho had'been appointed. There was a staff of men under the Inspector, and he (tlie speaker) thought tliey could do i t as chcaiily as any contractor in the United Kingdom. Coun. Robinson asserted th a t three out of four


things were shelved when referred to the Com­ mittee. The Mayor.—I deny th a t three out of four


things arc shelved. The committee treat them in a different manner from wliat Coun. Robinson has said. The Clerk stated th a t the n inttcrof the water

THE HOLIDAYS QUESTION.


MBETJNG IN TIIK CONGREGATIONAL SCHOOL.


. The Chairman said he was sorry they had to call the meeting for so early as seven o’clock, but the Congrcgatioimlists had made some sacrifice to lot


Congregational Sclioolroom on Tuesday evening. There was a good attendance. Mi*. R. Charnley occupied the chair, and ivas supported on the p la t­ form by the members of the Weaver's Committee.


A public meeting of operatives took place in the


them hare i t a t all, and the Committee had promised to try and get the meeting over in good time. They would remomher a mass meeting being held a t the Public Hall during August. I t was then decided to let the holidays question rest for the present 3’car, and go in for a change next year. Last Friday week, they hud had a meeting of master and operatives’ rcprc.'icnt.ativcs, hut as i t was not well attended, i t was post­ poned until the following Wodnosday, when the whole bod}' of tho masters W


proposition they liad before them was th a t New Year’s D.ay should be given up, and two days should be added to the August holidaj s, and these sliould include Bank holiday instead of the third Saturday. The otlier holidays, viz., Good Friday and Saturday, Whit Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Christmas Day, would remain ns before. The question whether tliey should leave work on the Thursday night previous to the August Bank Holiday aud resume work on tho Thursday, morning following, or from the Friday night to tho Friday morning, Iiad been left for those present to decide. All those on the iilatform were in favour cf leaving work on the Thursday night until tho next Thursday morning. Seme dissatisfaction had been expressed a t giving up New Year’s Day. He would remind them that i t was almost always tho case that if they wanted anything given they had to give something for it. By giving up this day they got two extra days, and'hc did notcomsidor th a t a bad bargain. They were anxious to hear opinions from those present, and if there was to be any opposition, li« only asked that i t might ho brought forward in an orderly manner, Mr. Janws Bricricy said as there was no opposi­


’orc present. The


tion, he would move th a t tho proposal which had been laid before them by the chairman be accepted —tluit is, th a t they give up.New Year’s Day, and that they leave work on tho Thursday night pioviou.s to August Bank Holiday, and return on the Thursday morning following. He thought that an the masters had given up something for them, i t Was only right that they should give up somotliing
