Mrs. Hume Pinsent: The resignation of Mrs. Hume Pinsent as a councillor for the Edgbaston Ward was received and accepted. The Lord Mayor remarked that as she was the first lady member of the Council and considering the great interest she had taken in certain special subjects, he thought that it would be the wish of the Council that he should write to her expressing their great regret in losing her from their counsels. (Loud applause.) The Lord Mayor has fixed Tuesday 14 October, as the date for the election. The last day for nominations will be Monday, 6 October. Mr. David Davis submitted a memorial from owners and occupiers of property in Easy-row objecting to a proposal to lay a tramway along Easy-row between Edmund-street and Great Charles-street. This was referred to the Tramways Committee. Ald. James presented a memorial signed by over a thousand ratepayers suggesting a readjustment of the tramway fares so that halfpenny fares could be at once adopted.
