Somo ti,mo previously it had been resolved not to allow tho journal to bo iiled becauso it was considered seditious.
Mr. Tinney moved that Mr. C. Qough (the Labour secretary and a member of the Reputation) be restrained from addressing tho council on account of the nature of the terms which were, alleged to be couched in tho letter written to tho council sonio time ago. Those had been so bad that the Mayor had refused to bring it before tho council, but tore it up.
