CHARGE AGAINST THE LORD MAYOR. Yesterday great ntrdtitudea attended at the Junta of the Court ,r Aldermen, i n Loiv r rine. , ce N re port, that u charge against tl.e pr►sent Lord Mayor, to Alarm ipi or IV.,llonok Ward, wool& be ',pub licly heard. After having waited upwards of an hour, the general expectation began to atiate, but the crowds were won informed that a debate was g o i n g forward in the Court, upon the motion of Alderman Waithmatr, that the putrlic alunalil be admitted. The doors of the Court were anon thrown open, and Mr. liri , j4iniis Gibbons and Mr. Samuel Smith appeared at the bar to substantiate cha►ges brought by them agaiii,t the present Lord Mayor, as Alder nnoi of the IVard or %'albrnok. The Petition presented ty those Gentlemen was read. It !dated that Alderman Atkve. had at the last Wardnonte for the elvonm of Common Councilmen for thp W'allorook Ward, acted in Is manner wholly unju'- tifiable, if the spirit and rnmtniiig, of the precept were considered—that a Mr. Shuttlevrorth bail been _ . proposed as fit 81111 proper person to serve as C • mon Councilman by one of the Petitioners, and se conded by the other, and when Alderman Atkins was applied to, to put him in nomination, lie asked whether it ars Jr. Shutt!tweeds's intention to serve itt caw of Ins heing elected. To this • reply was given. expressing a doubt of that Geutlvinen'. , in elmatuni to do Ns ; on which Aldermen A tki.m said, it was necessary Mr. Shottlewortls should be consulted, mid that if he were reluctant. his elect sion should not take place. Snots after NIG Shut tles/milt appeared, and stated that it was not his wish to serve the office, and Aldermini At kins refused to put him in nomination, not withstoniting the declaration of one of the Pelt- Cotten. that if Mr. Shottleworth were elected lie should be compelled to serve, and that w penalty awaitee refusal. Thi• Petitioner lidtt row r persons fully qualified to propose, but finding that his request to have Mr. Shottleworth put in nomi nation was improperly rejected, he thought it use less to proceed any farther. After this refusal, the Lord Mayor asked whether any other prawn was to he proposed, and then, although ate of the Pe& tioniers told hint to remember that he called a poll for Nlr. Shottlrworth, his Loedship dectirod the places to he filled up. and the gentlemen thus elected were sworn before him. The Petitioners contended that this conduct of the Lord Matur was calculated to destroy their franchises, mid in decid ed hostility to the practice of other wards, and to all regulations on the subject ; and they submitted to the Court that the conduct ot the Lord Mayor, as Alderman of the Ward and Itetiirning ()Hirer, rendered mill awl void the tlictlitti of COIIIIIIOII Councilmen up..o that occasion. Mr. th 131.10,49 wished to be heard upon the Pith. fret of the Petition. '11...4 was iast-aitly wroatsql. He described all the 6,4'2l'llw:ll)re. that, tit bin view. took place at the Warilinote, and then said lie should proceed to the law of the case. The ItEcoarrea immediately rose, and said the Court did Ind want to hear shy law expounded : they wanted merely to hear the facts ot the case. Aliterinan WAITIINIAN said, NI r. (hist/0114 l'ef tOttily hail a right, as counsel in his own case, to state 11w law, as well us to state the facts. Sir J MMES SUAw expressed himself decidedly of the same opinion. Mr. Gintioss proceeded, without lunch further interruption, to prove, that if the Aldermen of Walhrook %Vara were allowed to act as had been described, the inh.rbitauts might give up all idea of being represented at all, and the consequence would he their disfranchisement altogether. fle quoted some authorities, to chew that if a person were elected to serve as Common Councilman, it did not signify whether he was inclined or nut, for the pre vela directed that the vote of the constituents should he decisive, as in the case of inquest men or consta bles. Mr. Gibbons then called Mr. Dawe, Mr. Stockforil, and Mr. Nathaniel 11' intim., who proved the case to the fullest extent. Mr. %Villianis, who is well known us the steady orpiment of the Lord Nlayor in his ward, wits one of those who were re turned as elected at the IVardmote. lie said he had by no means any wish to prejudice his own election, hut he must declare, us a professional man, that he thought the Lord Mayor's conduct highly illegal, and calculated to render the whole elect ot the IVard void. lie also ment;oned that his Lordship had adopted the strange and unjustifiable plan of calling fur a shrew of hands upon every two returned by each inecitict as in opposition to each other, in stead of taking the fair sense of the assembly, and declarilig those elected who had the greatest num ber of votes. As soon us the witnesses, in whose evidence the multitude seetusd to place the utmost reliance, were heard upon the part of the Petitioners, the I.ord Nlayor also examined them. The Court then was cleared 4.r strangers and a discussion took place, alter which it was voted that the facts of the Peti t .nu were proved, and that the election of Common Councilmen, on the 21st December, for the 11'ard of Wallisook, was unlit and void. We uoilerstatid that the Luta% MAYOtt declared he was influenced in what lie had dune by nothing but a >Wilt Or CO111:114111011, it being • t his wish to have any man appointed to serve who was IRA imbued: The LORD MAYOR has directed n Could to he sunsinoned to be held on Friday next, for the pur pose of hearing the several Appeals against serving the offices of Constable and Inquest, and on other public busiuess.

The second excepti 0000 ins to the satiety of Dideint's wife, which the Muter had allowed in the sante way. The Learned Counsel contended that the Rider's report wee COlitfiliy to the air gof the decree or the Court. The VICE-CHANCELLOR —I' The Master It.. adopted tiw substance of the decree in his report - , it would certainly have been better that belted used the word+ of it. This was s decree for 11w purpose of ■ dissolution of partnership, and the Meeter reports that I)idelot's was a joila debt of Waters and Taylor." Mr. HEALD slid. then It cense to ti n y question— If Didelot held Taylor to his agreement, he ought not to have entered into a new agreement with Waters without the actual consent of Taylor, for if he received is greater sum from Waters than he was to have received from Taylor, the latter would be entitled to it. The Vlce-CliantELLoa—" Is It not for the ser vice of Didel•st for the three succeeding years that the Master has, allowed the sum?" The Sotictrolt-GENERAL. Counsel for Mr. Didelot, said, that the Opera-house did soot open till the roil or march, 1814, on account of the dis cussion in that Court nu the subject. and it was for that tenon aa ia ig part of the season that Mr. Waters paid Distant the 550/. which the Master had de. duCted out of the 1,1501. that Taylor ought to have paid him. Mr. IJEALD said, nothing turned on whether Didelot was engaged fur a part of a season or is whole one, for Taylor agreed with him for the yearly sashay of 1,130/. but if he thought proper to engage afterwards 0 ith IVosters for 550/. there was au curl to the original agreement, and the ohject of his dicta was i 0 strike out of the Master's report the difference of Gun/. The VicE-Citatict:i.l.oa—" Taylor was an engagement to pay 1.15111. for the year 1814, to Uidelni ; they might have put an end to this con tract for the purpose of the latter making an en gagement with Waters—there is sin evidence that they doll do so : then the prionafiscte evidence is. that Dodds'', making at new engaveinent, rescinded the first ; for this reason, that %%raters would have been obliged to have fulfilled the agreement of Taylor with Didelot." The SOLICITOR-(;ENF.ItA said. that the Mas ter hail reported that Waters having had the ser vices of Didelot for time remainder of the season of IEII4, and paid him 550/. fur it, he gave Taylor the advantage of it by deducting at ft the sum of 1,1501. It never could he supposed that Didelot would give tip the greater Witt for the lesser, and the Nlaster found it was a dell against the joint estate, Taylor having consented that Didelot should engage with %Voters. The VICE-01A N CEL Lett —" MICH WIIP time latter agreement made ?" The Souct•ron-Gstreaar.--" It does not ap pear ; but I admit, if Didelot load salved time first *guru's-sit when lie made the one with Waters, lie is not entitled 10 the balance he claims, and the Master has allowed lOon ; but I think I shall be N ile to slew that he did not do so." The Vit;e-Ceissct:i.Lon—'• There is more doubt in this question. Mr. Solicitor, than you seem to be aware of.
