" I was meditating on what to do, when I hecame most unexpectedly involved in municipal work, where I was compelled to take a pro- minent part, for which I was not fitted either by knowledge or experience. At the town meeting in August, already referred to, when the addition to the public debt Avas made, a Corporation Bill was spoken of, which appeared to be of very great importance, and which was to come before the town later. I therefore watched the notices by the church doors, and marked dow...n the date of the " Statutory Meeting, " which must be called in order to sanction this Bill. I was much surprised not to see attention strongly called to this important measure by the local press and others ; but the local politicians were all in such a state of excitement be- cause Hastings was to lose one of its Parliamentary representatives, that the way in which municipal aflfjiirs were carried on, seemed to excite no interest. I called at the Town Clerk's Office, a few days before the meeting to sanction the Bill was to take place, and asked for a copy of the Bill, but was told, that there were " no copies " for ratepayers ; neither could the Bill be seen.
