On Monday last the following members of the board met for the purpose of electing a new board for the next three years. CHARLES HALPIN, Esq., M.D., in the Chair. Other members present - Mathew TULLY, Esq., E. M'GAURAN, Esq., P. FAY, Esq., J. KELLY, Esq., S. SWANZY, Esq., W. HEAGUE, Esq., J. PARKER, Esq., J. M'GAURAN, Esq., a. KETTYLE, Esq., P. BRADY, Esq., and J. CLEMENGER, Esq. On commissioner examining the collector's arrear sheet, they found a number of the ratepayers in default. The collector was then ordered to take proper steps to recover the arrears. The Chairman then called on Mr. TULLY (solicitor to the commissioners) for the precept for the election, when the following gentlemen were proposed and seconded:- Robert ERSKINE, Esq., Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., James FAY, Esq., Mathew TULLY, Esq., S. SWANZY, Esq., Bernard COYNE, Esq., M. D., James ARMSTRONG, Esq., Patrick FAY, Esq., Wm. MOORE, Esq., James M'GAURAN, Esq., Wm. HEAGUE, Esq., E.

After the election was over, the clerk (Mr. Edward SMITH ) asked the chairman what day the new commissioners would be sworn in upon; the clerk also informed the chairman that there should be an advertisement published three times in some newspapers, according to the act of Parliament. The Chairman asked could there be time to have three insertions published in the Anglo-Celt newspaper before the time mentioned. The Clark said they should be sworn in in fourteen days after the election, and the Anglo-Celt was published but once a week, so that there could not be time to have three insertions published. Some of the commissioners thought that two insertions might do, and to have it published in the Anglo-Celt. The Chairman said it would be better to comply with the Act and not to be running risks. The clerk was then ordered to have three insertions published in the Newry Telegraph. The board then adjourned. (The Commissioners, in not publishing the advertisement in this journal are acting contrary to the letter and spirit of the act, which expressly secies (sic) that the advertisement must appear in the local paper. It could have been published once or twice in this journal, and the remainder of the times in any other paper published in an adjoining county. - Ed. C.A.) CAVAN UNION - Tuesday, July 5. The board of guardians of this union met to-day at their usual hour. WM. SMITH, Esq., J.P., in the chair. Other guardians present - Robert BURROWES, J.P., Thos. JOHNSTON, J.P., G. H. ESTRANGE, J.P., J. E. VERNON, J.P., J. NAYLOR, Wm. FOSTER, jun., J. ROGERS, Thos. HARTLEY, James M'CAFFREY, E. REA, James DONNELLY, O. DONEGAN, H. FARIS, J. SHERIDAN, G. W. BELL, Wm. PRATT, Esqs. The chairman read a communication from Daniel LEDDY to say that he had seized on the fixture and bottles of the dispensary by order of the landlord, Mr. FITZPATRICK, for the sum of five pounds due for rent. Mr. BURROWES said if the house was occupied by them (the guardians) they had a right to pay the rent. Chairmen - We have not occupied the house. The clerk said Dr. COYNE occupied it since he was appointed to be the dispensary doctor. Chairman - If Dr. COYNE wishes to occupy every house in town that is no reason why we should pay for them. Some of the guardians wished to know if the goods seized upon was worth £5. Mr. M'GAURAN - I was told what was in the house was not worth a shilling. The chairman recommended the guardians not to interfere, but allow the things to be sold and to provide others in their place. This rule was adopted. The chairman wished to know what was going to be cone with the securities of FITZPATRICK, the late collector. Mr. KELLY, the person that was appointed to collect the arrears, came before the board to explain how the uncollected rate stood, which did not appear quite satisfactory. Mr. VERNON then moved that the securities be written to come forward and pay in the amount that FITZPATRICK was in default, and if they did not comply with this notice that the solicitors be written to take legal proceedings without any further delay. Mr. DONEGAN - I think they should get a little time longer before legal proceedings would be taken, it being a great hardship for them to have to pay another man's debt, together with law costs also. Mr. ROGERS - If Mr. Bernard FITZPATRICK, one of the securities, comes forward and pays his half, will the board protect him from the law costs. Mr. VERNON - I am quite sure Mr. FITZPATRICK is a very honest man, and would pay his part, but the law does not provide for that. The board must sue both securities. Mr. ROGERS - I never would have interfered in the matter at all were it not that I knew Mr. FITZPATRICK's intention to act honourable and pay his half of the debt, wherein the other security could not be got to acknowledge the payment of any part of it at all. Mr. VERNON asked why Mr. KELLY did not serve notices on the parties in default. Mr. KELLY - I would have done so but there could be nothing got from them, and it would be only putting the securities to additional expense; but if the guardians will allow time enough to have notices served on the landlords and agents, I have no doubt I will be able to get some of it. Several of the guardians said it was a great hardship for Mr. Fitzpatrick to be put to additional expense. The chairman and Mr. VERNON said it would be well for Mr. Fitzpatrick to pay in his part; however, in the mean time, the motion should be adopted. After the admission of some paupers the board adjourned. BOROUGH OF BELTURBET.
