Northam: The Northam Local Government Board Meeting was held on Monday last. Present Evans Esq., (chairman.) Rev. I. H. Gosset, General Hutchinson, Adderley Wren, Esq., Capt. Williams, T. Pynsent, Esq., Messrs. Pickard, Penhorwood, Mills, Kelley, John Penhorwood, Tucker, Basett, and Cawsey. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The Rev. I. H.
