Now, gentlemen, this is carrying things a little too high handed ; some of us were per- fect strangers to the transaction, others who knew what was going on asserted that the Council weunld never grant the prayer of any such petition without giving all con- cerned an opportunity of protesting against it. We have various reasons for protesting against it. 1. Wede not wish to use our swamp lands at present, 2. Some of us have reserved our swap Iands for the valuable timber they contain, and there is nove of you but knows that if that work is gene into and the fire gets in which it most ceitainly would then both land and timber would be destroyed. -- Some of us would rather pay a large portion of what Mr, Jackson says ho has paid for the land (if be bas really paid epything ax the general opinion is that be den't own it) rather than have a canal go through our land.

On the contrary when a Municipal Council strictly adhers to the rules of order, prevents all at- fempts at discussion until a motion has been intreduced on the subject, allows no one "xcept members to address the Council until permitted so to do by a motion of council, that no one be allowed to debate any subject with the Council, and, that even members of Council be confined to once un any subj.c: except in committee of the whole. When Councils thus strictly adhere to the rules of order, the proceedings are much moro satisfactory to all present, and to none more so than to the members themselves, the business is infinitely better dove and in managed "in conte, ef pr at the Coun. disregard rules of order, they will be inclined | ©°® Carried, and good jodgment as an a We hope, gentlemen, that you will recon- sider your action, repeal the Ly-law and allow us to manage our own affairs, anc your petition rs as in duty bound will evr pray.
