Tub monthly meetings of Town Commissioners for the undermentioned places were held yesterday llor.Tw.iot. Dr. David iTobnnton (who presided) was re-elected ohairmau. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Cabbey was filled up by the appointment of Mr.

Thomas ,7. Porter. Tho report of Mr. Macassey relative to the waterworks was read, which showed that tho work was proceeding satisfactorily. A latter from the county surveyor was read complaining of the way iu which the streets bad been left after the laying of the water mains, aud requesting list the contractor should receive instruction)! lo have them restored to their proper condition, and that any balance of the contract money in the bauds of tho Commissioners should not be paid until bo would certify that the damage had been made good.

As to tho disputed account between tho Commissioners and the lioiu'd of Guardians, some correspondence was read, in which the latter rotated roaa sessions. 3Ai.r,YMBX.v. Mr. W. A.

Young, J.P. and presided. Mr. Hugh Painey, Church Street, ihillyniena, appeared before tho Board, and lodged the following objections with reference to the manner iu which, ho alleged, the recent. election of three Commissioners for Ballymena was conducted by the returning officer, Mr.

W. A. viz. first, the refusal by the returning ollicer to allow three scrutiuizei-s appointed by him to be sworn second, that the ballot-box was placed for a time, during the voting out of sight of tho returning ollicer; third, the prevention of certain persons from voting, whilst others placed in similar circumstances were permitted to vote; fourth, that a voter was allowed a vote out of promises which ho had not occupied from January, IB'62, to January, ISSil; and also that another person was allowed to vote out of tho same promises. Mr.

Itainey gavo the names of these two persons as Mr. Mase, Greontnount Ter-raoo, and Mr. M'Ciarnon, one of the contractors for the now waterworks: fifth, on tho ground that a ballot paper, found on the ground near the ballot-bos, was put in that Iiok; sixth, that in pay of tho Commissioners were allowed to vote in the usual way. Mr. Itainey having lodged the above objections, and commented on them at considerable length, tho chairman said that the reason he did not allow tba throe scrutineers to be sworn iu wis because they were not there in proper time, and informed Mr.

Kainey that ibo Board would receive his objections. Mr. Rair.oy said be had another alternative Would "the chairman undertake to pay out of his pocket tito costs of an action, provided that tho Court ruled against bis conduct with regard to election The chairman said he would not give Mr. Kainey an aunsver rospeotiug what be had asked bo would merely inform Mr. Itnmey that if the law justii bis conduct the ratepayers would have to pay the costs of tho aotion, if called upon to do so.

Mr. 11 dney remarked that if the chairman declared the election null and void lu was prepared to let the matter drop. The chairman said ho bad no power in that matter bis duties in that ro ipeot wore over. Mr. Kainey said th were only beginning.

He thanked the Board for the courtesy and attention they hud given him. lie thought', however, that the chairman had made a mistake. Mr. Mathews said that tho objections must bo haudod in iu writing, and Mr. Itainey promised to do so.

The throe uew Commissioners Messrs. John Gault, Blayuoy Adair, and Samuel Uedmoud Young then took tho usual declaration. A letter was road from Mr. Samuel M'Kay, Church Stroet, objecting to soma parties voting at the recent municipal election, when they bad uo right to do so. 'i'he elci-k 'Mr.

Mathews) sutmnttod a lofctor from tho Local Government Board with reference to the proposed extension of boundaries in Bally-nieiiit, and stating thai, an inquiry into the matter would bo bull by Mr. Hamilton on Thursday, the 2s)th inst. It was resolved that th chairman and Messrs. John Cault and Rabert Ohesucy he appointed as a comoaittoe to propa.ro evidence for tho inquiry. A co'nmuniciuion was road from Mr.

John Cunning, 'William Street, relative to the periodical Hooding of his vard and Tiie writer sinter that the water rose from the gratings of the neve sewerage, and that wlien the old imvcrnge existed no tlooding occurred. Mr. AHon was iiistrueis-l to exnmiuo the place complained of. Mr. Cam lb stated that there was a letter to the Commisdonors in which Mr.

Liuyoti, the engineer to the Hoard, was concerned. The communication iu question bad boon forwarded lo Mr. Iianyon, and lie would be there to see to tho imt'er. He (Mr. Oarnth) would suggest tint the Commissioners consider tho matter in committee.

Thev wore about to havo an arbitration, audit they wished to havo ovoi'ylbiug priv.icc thoy would fall iu with his suggestion and if, on tho contrary, they were desirous of having everything known iu the newspapers, they could consider tho affair iu public. Tho ohairm.au thought that Mr, Carutb was quits right. After soma discussion, it was agreed that tho Board should resolve itself into committee, and the members of the Press wore about to rotiro, wbeu Adair said, that he had to move that the services of either tho surveyor or tbo clerk of works at Quolie be dispensed with, aud that the horse and trap be sold. Mr. Adair gave bis reasons for making the motion, the principal of which being the fewues-j of the number of working men at the place mentioned.

Tho chairman said it was better to let the motion stand over fill that day mouth, as perhaps the letter which they bad agreed to diseti ss in committee would have somo bearing on tho resolution. He (the chairman) was certain that Mr. L'tuyon would work in accordance with their wishes. Mr. Adair agreed to bear the letter brat, and the Board then went into committee.

at twelve o'clock, tbo usual monthly meeting oi Board was held in temporary courthouse, Market Square Mr. John ltitcbie presiding. The other Commissioners present were Vv'm. Savage, Jas. Mussen, Fred.

W. Waring, liobert Mueanuoy, Boivland Savago, W. Charley, Samuel Wilsou, and Andrew Brings. Mr. Samuel Wilson, in aocord-ano3 with notice of motion, moved that the resolution of 3rd September last be rescinded, which was seconded by Mr.

HILL. This was a suit to tho will of Henry Stevenson, a farmer, who resided in IU (bright, ibo County Down. Ho left a considerable amount of property. Mr. Hoi.MFS, O.C., stated tho case, from which it anpe ired the testator married a Miss Annio Morclaud, of Bullvobogan, near Ballywaltor County Down.

She died in ISIiri, and tbore wan only ono child of the marriaso, the defendant, Ellen June Warden Hill, otherwise Stevenson, who subsequently bceam3 tbo wife of tho defendant, Wm. J. Hill. As bo (Mr. Holmes) was instructed, previous to this marriago, and up to the death of the testa tor, there were uovor very cordial, or oven friendly relations existing between the defendant, Wm.

J. Hill, and the testator. In fact, he married the daughter without tho father's consent, aud the daughtor left without a moment's no! ice. Tho marriage took place in Nowtown-ards without the knowledge of the testator, and after the solemnisation of the marriago the testator's daughter never returned to her father's bouse. Tho defendants after tbo marriage resided at Millislo, distant about a mile from Kiilbright.

At this time the testator was a widower, but iu November, 1387, tho plaintiff, Sirs. Matilda Stevenson, who then resided at Groenoravcs, near Dundomtid, first became acquainted with the testator, and this acquaintanceship afterwards resulted iu a marriage, which took place ou ths Pith July, 1800. Previous to this marriago a deed was executed whereby all the plaintiff, Mrs. Stevenson, was possessed of (except a sum of about 50 in cash) wan put in settlement. The testator at tho time was possessed of a farm of 02 acres, Bituato at Kilbrigbt, held Sir William G-illilan Johnson from year to year, at tho yearly rent of 8S 1-ls, and be bad a good deal of cattle and farming stock.

Tho plaintiff gave her money from time to timo to tho testator lo work the farmthe trustees of tho settlement being indemui.ied. Mm. Hill and her children sometimes visited at Kilbrigbt, but not tbo defendant, Mr. Hill, Willi whom it was alleged tbo testator always remained on bad terms. Tbo testator died on the tenth January, l-ssil, baviug previously made bis will, by which he left bis properly to bis widow, Mrs.

Stevenson, the present plaintiff, the property amounting to about 700, including the interest in bis farm. Tho defendant, tho daughter of the testator, and her husband, impeached tbo will on tho alleged around that it bail been procured by the undue inilueiico of tho plaintiff, and there was a plea that at the timo of its execution the testator did not possess testamentary capacity. Mrs. Matilda Stovonson. the plaintiff, was examined by Mr.

CHiNiw, in support of the Will. She deposed ihe.t she always lived on terms of affection her deceased husband, and at a lime when he was in somewhat straitened circumstances sho advanced bim to assist bim in his farming operations. Tho will was purely his own voluntary act, and witnoss swore positively that she in no way influenced him theniahiiig of it. Tho will was made on the 27l-h Oefetljet', the testator was on bis death-bod. The witness ivus mined by Mr.

Donn for tbo defendants, with tho object of showing that sho did use undue inllueaco in procuring the will. Sho denied positively that rha and stated a number of matters to show the tes'ator had never bio'i on friendly tfrms with sirs. Hill or her husband. The will was prepared by Mr. Jackson, a gen'lenian in the employment of Mr.

W. Armstrong, solicitor, Belfast. Tho lodc.tor bad made a previous wiil by which ho left 1:200 to his daughter Mrs. XI ill. That will was prepared by Mr.

The chairman said that this was an important matter. The gas question was ono that was agitating the minds oi the ratepayers. They bad to pay os 3d per 1,000 feet for gas for tho public lamps, while otbor towns bad to pay a sum. If they to lake steps in the matter, as ho believed thoy would soon be obliged to do, tboy would need money, and it would be an awkward thing to have to wait a year for it. Tho matter was referred to the finance committee.

A letter from Mr. Atkinson, tho Board's solicitor, enclosed bye-laws drawn up by Dr. Agtiow, the Baiiilary officer, aud a committee, with somo corrections thereon. It was doeided by the Board to consider Ihe bye-laws at an adjourned mooting, when Mr. Atkinson would bo present.

Dr. Agnow recommended the Board to close up an open sewer running underneath Hoop Hill, and which was injurious to the health of Ibo neighbourhood. Tho matter was referred to Mr. O'Neill, O.K., tho Town Surveyor, to report on.

(chairman), presided. A circular and a letter with regard to the Paruoll banquet was read and received with laughter. Mr. Vallely brought under the notice of the Board the desirability of keeping the lanipn in the streets lighted longer in the morning for the eonveniei.ee of girls going to the mills. Mr.

Collins also said it would bo desirable to koep the lamps lighted in the streets throtigb winch tho girls were iu the habit of passing. The lamps could be put out in the other parts of the town, but the streots through which tho mill girls pissed should bo left for the last. The Town Clerk said that the work of extinguishing tho lamps began at four o'clock in the morning, beginning at the Gas House. Mr, Vallely suggested that the work of extinguishing tho lamps should commence at live o'clock iu the morning. The Town Clork said that that would moan considerably mora expense.

The chairman said that Ibo Commissioners had only power to cleanse tho footpath, as the cleaning of the street was county work. Mr. M' Williams said it was rather a "rievance that the ratepayers in this street should be paying for the cleansing oi other parts of tho town. He behoved, besides, that the Lame Towu I Commissioners should constitute tho sanitary authority, as be believed tho population within the boundaries would entitle it to become the sanitary au-nority under the Towns Improvement Act. Bangor, which was a town of much less importance, was an urban sanitary authority.

Mr. Fleming said that the of Larue would not entitle it to be placed uudor an urban sanitary authority, as ic did not. resell the ligttres necessary under the act to render this a matter of necessity, but the act provided another alternative. If a town meeting were called, aiid the majority of that meeting were in favour of the Towu Coin-missioners being tho sanitary authority, the Local Covernment Board would i-ake ibo matter into consideration. The clerk said Mr.

Jl'Williams could, if begot arcpiisit'on to Die chairman, signed by a number of have p.r.ver to call such a meeting, bttt his action would require to b- taken as a ratepayer, not as a Commissioner, elr.
