The Library—A deputation consisting of Crs Leete, Munro, Taylor, and Geo.

The matter was very fully discussed, suggestions being made as to wiring in the books and putting up a yartition in the large room. It wax alfo advocated that the large room should be left open as it used to be, and pla cards warning that any offence against the rules would be Feverely punished affixed to the walls. The Library Committed did not see its way to accede to the latter proposal, and refined to think the best way to solve the difficulty would be to get some residents to volunteer to attend at the Library during some afternoon in the week bo that the large room could be kept open under supervision. In the meantime the cost of wiring in the books so as to preserve them from the prodatory attacks of the Free Lances who have hitherto po perseveeringly mutilated, stolen, or destroyed them, is to be ascertained.
