The Mayor read the following letter from the hon. treasurer of the Committee : — " Mrs Walter Hill, "Dear Madam, — I have the honour by direction of the Committee to hand you the enclosed cheque for £86 10s being the miserable proceeds of two entertainments called benefits. I need not add that it pains me greatly — as it does many of my friendß en the Committee — to bo the means of handing you so insignificant a sum as an evidonco of the esteem we had for your late husband. In those days of impecuniosity words, I fear, mußt be accepted. "With the moßt sincere good wishes for your future welfare. " I am, Sus., "J. Ollivieh, " Treasurer to Committee. •
