COURT 01 ALDERMEN.

A Court of Aldermen was holden on Tuesday,
at Guildhall, Alderman Fume presiding.
The Town Dunn read • letter from the prioelpal clerk
to the Ooninsinicisere of Bowan for the City of Loucks,
calling the ailleaVin of spurt to the danger 41.0,was
likely to arise to the public from the wactine of storing
large quantities of a highly inflammable and dangerous
material knows es Americ•n petroleum, in premises to et.
Mary's-axe, and requesting that the omit would take some
steps to put • atop to the proceeding complained of. The
application was founded upon a report made by Dr. Letheby,
the medical officer of the City of London, as to the extreme
danger that was to be apprehended of conflagration from
such au inflammable material being stored in large quantities
at the place in question.
It was arranged that the law officers of 'the corporatioa
should be at once applied to for their opinion as to the heat
oourse to be adopt to remedy the evil, and that they
should communicate with the Committee for General Pur-
poses, who would immediately take the necessary measure,
under their advice, to put a stop to the proceeding that was
the subject of complaint.
It will be remembered that at the last court a complaint
was made by Mr. Lovell, • merchant at Bristol, of the
alleged misconduct of one of the City broken, and notice
was served twos the party of the nature of the complaint,
and he was required to end in a written answer to it.
To-day all the parties were in attendance in order that the
matter might be Inquired into by the court.
Mr. C. Pollock, the barrister, appeared in support of the
complaint ; and • solicitor named Thomas attended on
behalf of the party complained of.
The matter was fully and meet carefully inquired into by
the court ; but from the result that was arrived at, it will
be quite sufficieut to state that the complaint arose out of •
speculative mutinies of a quantity of tallow in December
last for delivery in March, sad it was alleged that the
broker bad in the first Metopes represented that his princi.
pals were Messrs. Chalmette and Woolner, when it
turned oat that the tallow had been purchased of
Masan. Thompson, Boner, and Co., sod it ap-
peared that these last. mentiosed gentlemen bad
ocentemacied legal proceedings against Mr. Lovell,
to recover the price of the tallow. This was one ground of
complaint; and another was, that the broker had not made •
proper entry of the transaction at the time the tallow was
, and that he did not keep a book for that purpose.
Cdrlbda"anot appear to be at all explained how Mr. Lovell was
in any way prejudiced by the tallow being purchased of one
person instead of another, but it should be stated that the
allegation made by Mr. Lovell in this respect was positively
contradicted by the party complained of, and be oleo pro.
duped • book in which there was au entry of the purchase
i ad sale of the tallow, by which it appeared that Messrs.
; Thompson, Boner, and Co. were described sa being the
vendors.
The oourt was cleared while the members deliberated upon
their decision, but after • very short ieterval, the public
were re-admitted.
The ENOOIIDIII then announced that the court having coup
sidered all the facts before them, had come to the resolu-
tion that Dallies had been proved that would justify it in
taking any further steps in the matter against the party
complained of.
Mr. THOMAS applied for costs, but the Recorder said the
smut had no power to award oasts in mach a ease.
The Tows CLENZ read a letter from Mr. Hastiogs, the
honorary secretary of the National Association for the
Promotion of Social Science, requesting the court
would appropriate cue of the rooms of the Guildhall
to the use of the committee, who are to superintend the
approaching meeting is that building, and suggesting that
the Council Chamber and the room adjoining would be well
adapted for the purpose.
Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman COPELAND, esooncled
by Mr. Alderman BICSLIY, the application was unanimously
acceded to ; and also that Mr. 'Temple the hall-keeper,
should be requested to give the committee every facility to
prosecute their important labours.
