CITY COUNCIL.

A special meeting of the City Council was held at the Council Chambers this morning. There were present: Mr Prime (in the chair); Councillors S. Jones, T. Williams, Macready, Hobbs, Bugden {and Hampton. ~'j'he minutes of the previous meeting 5 i<.& read and confirmed. ;; The Clerk said the object for which the meeting had been called was to appoint a councillor to fill the office of Mayor during the absence of Mr Phillips, to be Returning officer at an extraordinary elec tion of councillors to bo held on Tuesday, the 26th instance, and to preside at the Revision Court to be held on the 16th instant. On the motion of Councillor Hobbs, seconded by Councillor Prime, Mr Isaacs was appointed to the office. Councillor Jones, who came in late, said the hour at which the Council was held (eleven o'clock), was a most inconvenient one. He was sorry he had not been able to attend sooner to oppose the appointment of Mr Issacs as the Mayor's substitute. He said it was an insult to the oldest member of the Council, who was then present, to appoint Mr Isaacs. He accused the members of the Council of party feeling, by which they acted one agaiost another. He trusted that men would scon be put in who were not possessed of party feeling, or would not be actuated by mean motives. Councillor Macready said he felt obliged to Mr Jones for his remarks in reference to him, but he had no ambition to occupy the position to which Mr Isaacs had just been appointed. He was quite content to be an outsider. Mr Buckland made application to be allowed to drive some sheep through the street to-day, before the hour allowed by the Act, for convenience in shipping them. —Application granted. The Town Clerk stated that Sadgrove the contractor, had bolted, and that his sureties had offered to carry on the work of carting, &c.—Offer accepted. This was all the business.
