"John M. Knight, Esq.,
"Dear Sir,
"Re Harford Street Improvement.
"I have about seventy tons of Setts left on the
"above job, as I was compelled to have two ship loads
"up which brought more than I wanted. As they are a
"different size, and better quality of stone than I am in
"the habit of using, I should esteem it a favour if you
"would take them off my hands at the price they cost
"me, as you are using them in the district.
"Yours, &c.,
(Signed) "JOSEPH JACKSON.
"pro D. J."

and further, that such pitching be used in paving the carriageway
in Turner Street, already ordered to be paved.

half holiday on Saturdays, and resolved to recommend
That the workmen in the employ of the Vestry who are
paid at the Vestry Hall, be allowed to leave oft work at one
o'clock on Saturdays, and that they be paid at that time.
