The Chairman said they had no power to grant Pinetu's request. Cr McCardle said that Pinetu's bdnv plaint that Carver's children conducted thetfeAry-boat required attention. A boy about; thirteen- had; ferried him across; the iad was then m sole charge of the ferry.— — Or Chamberlain wished to know whtn Mr Carver's time expired ? The Chairman thought it extended for twelvemonths. Cr Mc^ardle understood that it would continue till the new bridge was erected.
