THE BURLESQUE AT THE CAVERSHAM HALL.
To the Editor. Sir, —A paragraph appears in your issue of Tuesday, giving an account of what took place at a meeting convened by a Mr Feger, to consider the advisability of forming the district into a municipality. It goes on to Bay that there was an amusing dialogue between the convener and a Air R. Wilson, who moved what was not a proper amendment. The fact of the amendment being Sat to the meeting was a sufficient proof iat it was in order. I am quite sure no amusing dialogue took place/ and although Feger's motion was carried by a majority of four, not one could be got to take the necessary steps, showing conclusively that the meeting was a bungle from first to last.—l am, &c, Robert Wilson. Caversham, December 20. [A direct negative of a motion cannot be put as an amendment, as everyone at all conversant with the proper conduct of deliberative bodies or public meetings must , know.-r-.ED. E.S.]
