NOMINATION* OF SHERIFFS FOR ENGLAND AND
Wants.—(Turn I),(l'4—To-day being the morrow of St.
Martin, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of
the Council, the Lord Chancellor, and other members of
the government, attended in the Court of Exchequer for
the purpose of proceeding with the nomination of sheriffs
foe England and Wales, for the ensuing year, Cornwall and
Lancaster excepted, the nomination with respect to which
counties devolves on his Royal Ili,rhueas the Prince of
Wales. The Queen's Remembrasoer administered the cus-
tomary oath, in Norman French, to the members of the Privy
Council who were present, and theudges presented their
returns of persons liable to serve. In consequence of the
probability that in the course of next year there will be •
liberal distribution of honour*, among mayors, sheriffs, and
other high officials in various parts of England and Wales,
there was evidently a greater anxiety than uvula on the part
of gentlemen proposed to ensure the next year's shrievalty,
and there was consequently • lack of those strange
excuses which are frequently urged on the morrow of
St. Martin. Still there were excuse', sod some
few gentlemen whoNwere not ambitious of Nerving.
One or two sought to be excused on the ground that they
had insufficient property in the onunties for which their
names were returned, others that they were too old, and
others that they were not wealthy enough. In some few
cases the excuses were admitted, and the gentlemen were
liberated from their liability to serve. At length the list of
three gentlemen for each county was completed, and the
pricking by the Queen in council will take place in February.
It is said that Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., will be the
liberal candidate for the vacancy in the representation of
