CITY BUSINESS. A Court of Common Council was holden yester day at Guildhall—at which the Lord Mayor, serea Aldermen, the Sheriff, &c. were present. A Report from the Committee cf Controul over the Coal and Cerrn Meters, in rel ition to appointMx one or more persons to attend at the Grand JanClion Canal, near Watford, Herts, to ascertain the weights and quantities of all coals, culm, or cirt ders, which straitly brought nearer te London, by the said Canal. and thereby become chargeable with the duty of Is. 3d. per ton, to the 'city of Lon don, over and above the Government Dories, an 4 for other purpo.,es, was presented to the Court, read, and agreed to, and referred back to the Committee, to be carried into execution. A further Subscription of 26251. to the West-In dia Dock Subscription was agree•' to, and the Chamberlain directed to pay the same ACCOrditlZly The Court unanimously voted the sum of 5001 to the Rtver Fenciules of the city of London, is aid of their funds. The sum of 1591. each, was granted to the Com missioners of Sewers, and the Commit en of Con trout over the Coal and Corn Mcteis, for a summer excursion. Several Reporti from the City and Bridgehouse Lands Com:lli:tees, for granting leases. &c. were read, agreed to, and referred back for execution. Boacemti.oe sou f lIW Mr. Jaccs rose, and, in a very able and eloquent speech, took a review of the rise and progress of the laws of this country,• and the retinal iocrease of the rights of the people, from the feudal svvem, when the people, he said, might be c.ols.deted to have none, or scarcely any 401 s—unlimited power being divided between the King and Nobles, down to the imbecile reign of John, when .s;neela Cb.rita was obtained. From thence he proetre.led to the present time, when die rights of the: pe, , p , e, ; e ob served, were looked upon as one of the thai 'est blessings. . He then adverted to the rimy persons who had been, at differvitt yiercodeononsineted by the Corporation of the city 01 . London, to 611 the ochre of Charter Magistro, its tile town and bo mugli of Sootherark ; and the consequent right the city had to make such appointructa ; and that Ma gistrate M appointed, to sit and administer jo,iice. It had always, he said, been the clown' t• r this Magistrate to held his Ses,ions regu:arir, for the ttial of mail offences, until the 'ye it 1765, whet, the Gentleman, who now tills the oific-.4 was tip- pointed. Ever since that time, the place has be come a complete siktoire; no kind of tett ntior. whatever being paid to the administrarisn of justice there—but the people are compelled to meter their indiament at the county sessions, at an einemous 'sprees and inconvenience. lI 2 then low ancei se. veral eases, in which this grievance was peculiarly manifested; one of which was a prosecution by the Corporation, against a man for are:thug rani* lead, winch was commenced and c Allied on at Kiiigston, at the expeoce of 401. to the city—when, if the la gi.trate whom they apiioirted, had done his duty, they would nut have had to pay one quartet of that slim. Hethen ordered a Memorial of-the inhabit ants of Southwark tube read—which being done, he thnight it brealuty t sulimit.three resolutions, which were to the following effea Ist.

The Recast:ma, in answer to a question put by ope of the Common Council, explained to tile Cows that, according to the statute, no person was compe tent to be mad , : a charter magistrate of the town and borough cf Southwark, except such gen:lemn as hay passel the Lord Mayor's Chair, or the Re cor‘ler. Atier a very short explanatory conversation be tw .en Mr..Aacks and. other members of the Cons mon Council, the Tiestion on the first resolnt;on was put by the Recorder, and carried tmanimously. • On the second resolution being read ; Mr. WCArtuai. rise and said, though be had with all his heart agreed to the first resolution of his worthy friend, yet be could not, on a seii.bus consideration of the subj.:a, entirely agree to the second or third. His reason for this-was, that he did net think them strong enuti.;a, as, when a per son was appointed to an - ofricy, and received a sa lary. he thought it incumbent on him, if compe tent, to do the duty of such office. fie than advert ed to the many experces and incenvenienc;es which the want. of this Court occasioned to the inhabi tants of Southwark, and to the community in gene ral, and concluded by saying,'that though be would be one of the first to support. any future motion for granting au akquate compensation to the gentle. in in who now held the office, yet he thought it ne tessary to submit to the Court two amendments to the two last resolutions moved by his worthy friend. Mr. WAIT!! aAn then read the amendments, 1 which were or a much stronger nature than the re rolmions, and c died upon the Court of Aldermen to take into consist-ration the appointment of some person adetriAte to hold and execute the office of Charter Magi...state of the town :tad borough of Sotto hwas k. Alderman Comae said, he would not oppose the resolutions or amendments, if t!,e Gentleman press ed them ; hut he thought it better to drop them at the present; and he was sure, when it was proposed to the Court of Aldermen, and they saw that the Gentlemen of the Commons intended not to lose sight of it, they would come to a decisive resolu tion, and he would answer for himself as one, not to 0p , , , 05e the wishes of the Gentlemen of the Com mons. DIP, Warr nos Apt, on this assurance, withdrew his amendments. Mr. Jack's second resoliition was thrt, after a ♦erbal alteration by the Recorder, unanimously agreed to. The LORD MAT OR said, he would himself state 6.: business at the Court of Aldermen next Toes on which account the third ressolutiou was ni..t pressed. ---- i . . LAW INTE EL IGENC4.

This was an altion brought to recover the price of a horse sold by the Plaintiff to the Defendant. Mr. Easton', for the Plaintiff, stated, that the Plaintiff, who was a stable keeper, had sold the, horse i n criestion to the Defendant for 271. and at the time of the sale he enraged him saund, eteew as to A cold, which he then had, and of which the Defendant was aware at tha time he made the nor chave. After keeping the horse fourteen or fifteen days, the D•fendaia sent him hack, with a letter, saying the horse was gbindervd, and he was surprised the Plaintiff would sell him such. Several witnesses were called, who proved the horse had he strangles, or a little cold, at the time of the sale, which the Defendant perteEtly well knew a ; aril that except in that, he was, and had been for a long Antecedent period, as sound as any horse in the wrirld. It appearing, however, that there was a warranty on the part of the Plaintiff, as to the soundness of the horse at the time of the sale; and Mr. Coleman, Veteli tsar y Surgeon, proving, that the horse was by no menus sound at the time, the Plaintiff was Neassiited. 14 )11111C41 MOY•L D.

It was a well-known WI, that persons who had bee-, attacked by this distemper and recovered. were not vulnerable ever after, au they, might mix sith persons Select without being *fleet •d themselves. sneh, he said, was the case of the Plaintiff. and he had been for some time em ployed. in cleaning houses where the disorder had raged ; he was engaeed in this most useful occupa ron, when the Defendant, who was making his ew-..me from that country, hired him as his strew, at th.y rate of a &Mar 4 -day. • He attended him during his VOVALZ , . and when hit .came to this coma try, he denied he had ever e•m-sloyed him, lied east him upon the world, us shift as well as he could, ....r himself. The Mate of the ship, and some other persons, ru.ssenge•s, were called, who could only speak as to the Plaintiff cooking for the Defendant on the voyage. but could not prove his doing any teller domestic office about him. One whne-s proved. that he went with the Plaintiff :o the D. fe 'dant to demand some wars, when the latter promised to pay him after the passover. Op the part of the Defendant. it was contended, that ace's , iing to the Jewish custom, they generally dressed their own viftuals when they mixed with t Christianc., ar...!, in many rases, their priests alone could kill their meat. In the prasent :nstat,ce the Plaintiff bed merely cooked their iseAt in common with the other dews im board, and had never been employed as a servant by the Defendant. who merely paid his passage for him thmegh charity. His first demand was ;11. than 231 ..dert„4,sl. alad now it amounted to SO!. Mrs. Bare •t, a Jewess, passenger on board i:l2 ship, was called to prove these ft Js ; tut, on the contrary, she stated an absolute promise, on the curt of the Defendant, to pay the Plointiff, his wag.s.

After the Plaintiff had him for a short time be dis• covered the horse was quite udsoun , i ; whenever he exerciied he inse.e a great noise in his stomach, oc casioned by an enlargement in the lungs, and, in short, he was a nctortous roam..

This was an aftina brought by the Assignees of George Wardel, a Bankrupt, to recover a corn of between S and 4001. upon a policy of insurance. The SOLICITOR-GeresAL, for the Plaintiff, stated, that Mr. Wardel was engaged in some fo reign mercant le transaftions, the last of which was a voyage to Madeira, in a ship which he freighted, ceded the Mae. from whence lie took wines and other commodities to bring back to England.— During his absence, his wife effetted policies of in. surance with Mr. De Beaune, upon this ship, which WAS afterwards captured. Mrs. Wardel -kept the policies for some time ; but, by some stratagem of the Defendant's, who was a boil fide crei tor of Warders, De Beaune got back the policies, and received the dividends thereon. The Defendant then toed out process in the Mayor's Court of Lon don, and attached the money in 1)e Beaune's hands, who afterwards paid it over to the Defendant, for the recovery of which this action was brought by the assignees, who considered themselves entitled to it. Some objeftinns as to the aftual trading of the bankrupt took place, upon which, however, nothing turned, as antecedent buying and selling were prov ed ; the other fads also appeared in evidence. On the part of the Defendant it was contended, that the Assignees had no right to recover this money, upon the following ~',rounds—lir.t, the pay ment having been made to the Defendant under the authority of the fuggign attachment, issued nut of the Mayor's CntirUcif London. Secondly, that Wardel had been twice a bankrupt, previous to the commission under which the Plaintiffs a.Sted ; that the present commission therefore was the third, and in the second commission, the Bankrupt's estate had not paid 15s. in the pound, and conseqnently all his future effe.ffs were liable to his debts proved tinder that commission, pursuant to Aft of Parliament, and therefore the sum which tile Plaintiffs now sought to recover was the p; T erry of the Assigi.ces under the second enmenissien. that War- Thirdly, thas del had committed an att of bankruptCy Antecedent to that on whic!i thii last commission was grounded; and lastly, that the Bankrupt lay in prison upwards of two months. After going into some evidence upon those porn% the two latter objeiftions were ahandone I . Lord Eit.t.senuitouati observed, that he did not recollea the second ohjeflion to have ever been made before; but he thought it a very good one, and well worth the future con:ideration of the Court. vcrdiatberefore of 3671. las. 10J. was entered for the Pla:nti F; sur)je.ft to the opinion of the Court uyien the two Gist points.
