Caselberg: rose In great "indig- • 'nation; 'and denied that his business | : eyqr..influenced his conduct' in thei Council. '' Cr Price's remarks were insulting in the extreme. He (Cr Price) tried to bo facetious, but failed as usual because he could not be funny without being insulting, Cr Price always broiight forward motions which he thought likely to be popular, and not those which he thought most beneficial. He (Cr Caselberg) only moved that the. buggy, die,, be added, as the great extent.of-the Borough would preclude the carrier performing his duties on . foot. . Cr Price rose to explain that he considered Cr Caselberg had challenged him by the manner in which he had : treated the resolution, . He (Cr Price): always avoided giving offence, but on this occasion he considered Cr Caeel- ' berg had insulted him. However he would look over that if Cr Caselberg would do . the "same by any offensive remark made by Cr Prico. The motion was then put nnd .-lost on division, Ayes 4, the Mayor and Crs Price,' Heron, and McCardle. Noes 5, Crs Caselberg, Feist, Gapper,. Chamberlain and Perry. The Council'then adjourned) \
