(From our own correspondent.) Mr. A. L. Westmoreland, the popular secretary of the H.A.C.B. Society, who has been acting as secretary of the Coursing Club daring its recent meeting, was presented with a gold sovereign case containing gold coins, in recognition of the' conscientious and energetic manner in which he had acted in the interests of the club. -: Messrs. M. J. Kennedy and L. Hanlon, as a deputation from the parish committee, interviewed the borough cemetery committee on April 4, to ask that the portion of the land surrounding the cross in the Catholic portion of the cemetery be permanently reserved for the burial of priests or Sisters. They stated that it was the intention of the Catholic community to erect a monument to the late Father Costello, and this could not be done until the land was reserved. The committee recommended the council, as cemetery trustees, to grant the request. This came up at the meeting of council on Tuesday last, and was agreed to. Cr. O'Bielly, who took his seat for the last time at the final function of the present council, will not again be a candidate as he is leaving Palmerston to reside in Australia. > . ; tJi ,
