Mr. Glendinning moves, seconded by Mr. St. John, that this Council do at its next regular fneeting to be held fon Saturday the 8th day of March, now next, pass a by-law detaching all that portion of the Cannington school section, formerly known as school see- tion No, 15 of the township of Brock, lying within the boundaries of the cor- poration of Brock, from the Canning- ton school section and attach the same as indicated by the several petitioners praying to be detached--(Here follow the name of petitioners with the school sections to which they wish to be at- tached) and that the Clerk be and he is hereby instructed "to notify the Trustees of the Cannington school sec- tion and the Trustees of the sev eral sections to which the petitioners p 4 to be attaghed | 'and otherwise give & notice as the law directs. : Mr. T.
