To this ‘the Reeve objected, and stated distinctly to the members of the‘ Council that the resolution was illegal. I the next they lOUk the magazine. Next He» said, further, that all the wards had erred in the first place. by holding ward meetings to get the opinion of the people as to how the fund should‘ be disposed of, without confining them . to any distinct proposition. No two wards had agreed. and he now thought the Council should not be gOVerncd by the people, as so many different opin‘ ions existed and no distinct conclusion had been arrived at. His (the Reeve's) opinion was. that no other legal way existed for the distribution of the fund than by apportioning it among the Sec- tions in accordance with the school attendance or school population in each. Mr. Button contended that it was not illegal for the Council to dispose of the t‘und in accordance with the resol- ution. After considerable discussion it was finally agreed to defer the sub- ject until their next meeting, which will be held on Tuesday the 24th 01 November. In the meantime legal advice will be taken upon it. large quantities of ammunition. seconded by Mr. Button, to the effect between thirty and forty heavy guns, The contest now began in earnest. The pieces having been placed on the works previously erected for themnnd every. preparation having been completed by the 14th Sept., the assault was com- menced. On the first day the Engn’ glish took the bastion nearest the camp. ‘ On the next, they spread their lines and seized a piece mom of wall. On day they found their way a little fur- ther into the town, and finally, on the sixth day of incessant fighting, they 'compelled the insurgents to evacuate the place, and made themselves com- plete masters of Delhi. Strange to say, in all this fighting the loss was not own 600 men ' the English were evidently well managed and taken care of by their officers. It is presumed that the large number of nIutineers 'who effected their escape from the city, will continue for some time to be a source of much anuovanee. to the British troops , but when we consider that the greater portion of the large reinforcement sent from England at the commencement of the 3struggle, must have by this time reached the scene of action, (for the siege was be- gun and finished before the arrival ofa s ugle soldier from the mother coun- try), little ‘danger may be anticipat- ed from the scattered remnants of the 'nsurgents.

After considerable discussion it was finally agreed to defer the sub- ject until their next meeting, which will be held on Tuesday the 24th 01 November. In the meantime legal advice will be taken upon it. ‘ I To this the Reeve objected, and stated distinctly to the members of the Council that the resolution was illegal. He said, further, that all the wards had erred in tlterfirst place. by holding ward tneefings to get the ophnon of the people as to how the fund should be disposed of, without confining them to any distinct proposition. No two wards had agreed. and he now thought the Council should not be gOVerncd by the people,as sornany diflerent Ophh ions existed and no distinct conclusion had been arrived at. His (the Reeve's) opinion was. that no other legal way existed for the distribution of the fund than by apportioning it among the Sec- fions n1 accordance \vhh the school attendance or school populafion in each.
