Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided: There was a large attendance of Guardians: The Railway Company having awarded the sum of £100 to Frederick Davis, who was injured some time ago by coal trucks on the line, and who had incurred debt of out £9 to the Board during his illness, now obeyed their mandate as to the refunding it. He was very lame, and evidently excited the sympathy of the Board. He “said he had paid part of the money where he owed it, and he was about entering into a little business, and he would be obliged if the Board would take it in installments. On his retiring, Mr. Wade expressed his opinion from the appearance of the man that he was incapable of earning his living and would consequently move that the Board receive £5 from him in full of all demands. Mr. Gater and Capt. Marshall both rose to second the proposition, but the former expressed his opinion that in the business he was about to be entering upon — a small beer business under Mr. Pinsent — it was impossible for him to live, and his money would soon be all spent. The motion was agreed to and the man was cautioned not to lose all his money in an unprofitable spec.
