Resolved that the receipt received from the office of the Public Works for the £30 granted to Clerk (to liquidate the surcharge of auditor) be returned to the Local Government Board with the request that the amount be transferred from the office of Public Works to the credit of the Guardians of the Newport Union with their Treasurer as the remuneration given to the Clerk in which the disallowance was made was paid out of the Union funds and not out of the Government grant.
Resolved that the Board concurs in the report of the Committee of the Irish Cattle Trade Association with regard to the importation of store cattle from America and declare that if such importation were permitted it would tend to the ultimate ruin of every small farmer of this Union.
