 Your Committee were notified by telegram from the Hon. the

 be pleased to meet them ca the following day to inspect the new 
 office at Prescott. Your Committee, in accordance with the notice, 
 met the Hon. the Inspector on the 1st of July last, when a thorough 
 inspection of the new office, both outside and inside, took place. And 
 it gives your Committee very great pleasure to be able to report that 
 the hon. gentleman gave it as his opinion that the building was not 
 only the best, as a building, but the best located of any m the 
 Province of Ontario. . i • • i.i 
 
 The Inspector being of the opinion that the iron shelving in the 
 vault, put up in accordance with the specifications of ^^^^'^^J®"^" 
 ment, were not large enough, nor sufficiently convenient to hold the 
 large books in the office, ordered a sufficient number of a«^itio"al 
 shelves to hold all the large books. This your Committee have had 
 done. They have also bad a wooden door put on outsido of the 
 front iron door, to protect it in severe winter weather, as it wab 
 found almost impossible to open the front door last winter, caused 
 by the accumulation of ice on the door sill. Bills for thes« two items 
 will be presented to the Council bv the contractor, Mr. Heron 
 
 Dr. Scott, the Registrar for the County of Grenville, moved into 
 the new office on the 20th of October inst., and has expressed him- 
 self highly pleased with all the inside fittings and arrangements. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 To the Honorable the Legislative Assembly of the Province of 
 Ontario. The petition of the Municipal Council of the United 
 Co'mties of Leeds and Grenville, humbly sheweth : 
 That the 88th section of the Act 37 Vic, cap. 7, provides that all 
 Sheriffs' advertisements, and other legal and official advertisements, 
 shall be published in such newspapeis as the Lieutenant-Governor in 
 Council from time to time directs, and that under the operation of 
 the said section, the Quarterly Returns of Convictions made by 
 Justices of the Peace to the Clerk of the Peace, and required by law 
 to be published in a newspaper of the Counties, will have to be pub- 
 lished in the newspaper designated by such order in Council, without 
 any restriction as to the amount to be paid for the same, while the 
 expense is paid out of the County funds. 
 
 Tiiat for many years past, the advertising of the General or 
 Quarter Sessions, and of the Clerk of the Peace, including the pub- 
 lication of the Returns of Convictions, has been submitted annually 
 by the Magistrates, in sessions assembled, to competition among the 
 proprietors and publishers of newspapers, by calling for tenders, the 
 lowest tender being invariably accepted. 
 
 Yo'u- petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Honorable 
 House will be pleased to repeal the 88th section of the said Act, or 
 so amend the same as to enable the Magistrates in sessions assem- 
 bled as heretofore, or the Co!:iity Cvouncil, to provide for the adver- 
 tising under the control of the' Clerk of the Peace, by calling for 
 
 ^ / 
 
20 
 
 tenders for tho nnme, as tlin cxi>onse of sncli iuUenis ■ments is i>y Isisv 
 iiaid out of the Comity funds.
