O'Gorman and Power, to give an account of their Parliamentary conduct, Mr. Sargent, a leading elector, opposed the proposal, on the score that the hon- ourable gentlemen were "clowns," and that it would be a waste of public time to listen to them. Mr. Sargent having, apparently, • a majority of the meeting with him, the Mayor abridged the dis- oussion by the new and effective expedient of turning off the gas.
