MR BAGNALL AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES

To tho Editor ol tlio Thames Advertiser. Sib,—Just a lino or two iu reply to tho above gentleman's courteous effusion in your issue of tho 13th instant. Mr Bagnail believes "it will be found there was no meeting," &c, I would just inform him that there was a meeting of delegates representing from 400 (o 500 members of friend'y sociclies, and I may further slalo that had Mr 15. been present at tho proper lime on tho previous Fridiy ho would hnvo known the reason tho meeting was adjourned, and if ho tnd those to whom ho showed tho proposed alterations wero all that wero interested then ho might with some reason speak of'petly tyranny and impertinence. My opinion is that Mr Bagnalt generally exhibits tho abovo qualities in an eminent degree, and it might do Mr 13agnall good just to bear in mind that even his opinion is not always correct-to wit, tho pauacrnnga ratepayers' meeting, 187-i, "alien his ohstiuato aud egotistical opinion and ruling in consequence cost us some £8, However, as Mr Bagnati's representations are not likely to be productive cither of much good or evil, 1 will now drop this matter, hoping that Mr Bagnall will in fuluro fry to measure his own importance by tho j op : niouof others rather than his own.— I em, &o , W. I'unt.
