'\:. Whereas there was a Ballad lately published, entitled the " Corke Asso- ciation, or the Clothiers Garland," that we apprehend may be of ill conse- quences if not suppressed, we are of opinion that the Mayor ought to bind the printer over to appear the next Quarter Sessions, that he may be in- dicted for printing said Ballad. Polly's premises being canted, and Mr. Walter Lavite being the highest bidder petitioned for a longer term than 99 years; ordered, that he have a lease for 199 years, at £24 per annum. That the mortgage on the fishery be forthwith discharged. That the Cant for setting the lot of ground by the Barracks be postponed to Friday, 6 April next.
