At a public meeting at Bridgewater, near Kelson, it was resolved amongst other things :•—' That it is tho opinion of this meeting that no public officer although he be head of a department should receive a larger salary than £500 per annum ; that all other officers of the Government be more consistently remunerated than hitherto, and the objectional and unfair method of very high and low salaries be abolished ; and that officers whose duties cause them to work overtime, be allowed for extra time.' Be ' tho oppressive charges made by lawyers/ it was resolved—' That as the Government, throngh^ their Judges, virtually compel persons,seeking justice to employ lawyers, the Government should fix lawyers' fees as they do cabmen's and boatmen's. ' That doctors' fees should be toned down to fair prices governed by statue.'
