The president, Mr. F. Stcans, said the matter was delicate at present, and the council would have an opportunity next meeting for a discussion. He had instructed the secretary to notify the men that the guns would he returned to them if they gave an undertaking that they would bo available to the council when necessary. He thought they had 110 need to worry over the position. Mr. I. Gray: Is it necessary to have a guu for a conviction?
