INTERESTING TO LOCAL BODIES.
A case under tlio penalty clause of "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1886," is talked of at Pallintua. The facts, as far as we can gather them are these:—A member of,-the Borough Council, who is also agent for a large land-owner, .has been endeavoring to get a right-of-way sanctioned by. the Council, such right-of-way being necessary to the sale of property of some magnitude. The Act makes it pretty clear that any Councillor who- takes;, part m a-discussion before the Council (in which he is directly orindirectly interested) is liable to a penalty of £SO (sco clause 104), We (Xxamimr)' recollect some years ago, the present Mayor of a neighbouring Borough being fined £SO--under a similar charge, although ho only kept his scat while an. account was being passed for payment. . ;
