BURGESS ROLL.
TO THE EDITOR. I Sir, —In the discußsion by'tho City Council upon my application yesterday, the Mayor is reported to liave said that I haDdcd over the burgess,roll ill an unfinished Btate, and refused to complete it, and that the work would havo to be commenced de novo. Allow me, ' sir,- to give to each of those assertions an unqualified denial, and to add that the roll, wnen handed over by me, simply required to be revised, and this the two junior clerks in the office could do within a week. The gentleman who succeeded me has been engaged on work quite irrespective of com-, piling the roll, and which the Town Clerk wanted me to undertake ; but, feeling that I had not received justice for what I had done,--1 respectfully deolined. The Mayor's allusion to a private matter, not in any way affecting the subject 'under discussion, will no doubt reccive its due weight at the hands of the burgesses of Auckland.—l am",' &c., F, C. Leggett. Thursday evening.
