The following notice of the Municipal Election appears:—
“At the Ward meeting of the constituency of St. George’s Ward, on Friday night, not one of the Councillors attended, and the result was that Mr. George Playford being called to the chair, a resolution was come to, to return Messrs. Ferrier and Benjamin Jay if they could. An effort was made, a poll was demanded, even the partizans of the Blue candidates themselves forgot, for once, the distinction of party. Our friends at least will have the pleasure of knowing that if they have two opponents, they, at least have two honourable gentlemen, whose intimate acquaintance with business will qualify them for the office.”
On Monday evening last a supper was given by the two re-elected Councillors of the Regent Ward, Samuel Palmer, Esq. and J. D. Chapman, Esq., to the ratepayers in the above Ward, at the “Crown and Anchor” tavern. The chair was taken by B. Fenn, Esq. The cloth having been removed, the healths of “Her Majesty the Queen,” “Prince Albert and the Royal Family,” “The Members for the Borough,” “The re-elected Councillors,” &c., were given. Several songs were sung during the evening, and appropriate speeches were delivered by several gentlemen present, and the parties retired at a late hour highly pleased with the evening’s entertainment. Great credit is due to the hostess (Mrs. Reeve) for so excellent a collation which was served up in the best style.
