THE SOUTH DUNEDIN COUNCIL: In the South Dunedin Council Sat the members and the Mayor, And soon began to bounce all The apouter.B who were there; His Worship called for Order, A voice cried, " Turn him out;" The Town. Clerk and Recorder Said ''Now who's a gwine to shout?' " A play,' a play, a play," They all began to bray; But the South Dunedin Council Is a laughing stock alway. In the South Dunedin Council Came the Burgess Roll—all hot. Of brains, why scarce an ounce all The Councillors had got; The Town Clerk, in a shindy, Was roughly used, alasT He tried to smash each windy, (Kpaneful sight of Glass). " A play, a play, a play," They all began to bray, But the South Dunedin Council Is a laughing stock alway.

I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, STEPHEN WATKINS.
