Cottell was or opinion that the Government had granted the land to the cemetery trustees for a special purpose, and the Government therefore had no power to compel them lo give the council access. Finally, it was agreed that a committee, consisting of the Mayor, Ald. Siemon, and Bergin, should investigate the matter, and form a deputation to the Premier.
