cation bad been made by the government relative to the
espouse" of prosecutions paid by the corporation of London
in their own wrong, it was moved that a deputation from
the smart should hold a conference with the Lords of the
Treasury on the subject.
Elie PETER LAURIE observed that to hold a conference
with the members of the government wee the me": sure
way to 'belt the question attempted to be carried by a depu-
tation. The parties sat there quittly together, and the
oasis:sr made his objections in so tisndsonse and 'cadent's-
like a impair, that a refusal was actually en-re agreeable
than Willillllo/11CO would be under other I ifelliliStaftet S.
(Langhtsr ) Bush he knew to be the eve in Lord Castle-
reagh's time, when every depwation departed ealightened,
though rejected, by the thoroughbred elegance of that states-
man.

Aldermen COPILAJID Geld FAILIBROTRIZ considered that
the ism eligible muss they could adopt would be by a
centimes with the government, to show the distinct claims
of the corporation to immumiLy from espaliers which had
long been paid by them an occasions of the prosecution of
prisoners.
Alderman WILSON said the court bed lately had three
conferences with the government on matters of great
public importance, and advantage had milked from each
of than.

Alderman FAREBROTIiER rose to move the following
elation to Lord Denman, upon that noble and learned
lord's retirement from the duties of Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench That this court, with a warm recollec-
tion of the high talent and integrity with which the Right
Honourable Llrd Denman performed the functions of the
Common Serjeant of this city, and having watched the ho
amused, advance of his lordship to the high position of
Chief Justice of England, and to the peerage of the realm,
nano% allow his lordship's retirement from office,
though ripe in honours and is years, yet full of vigour of
mind and Intellect, without expensing their deep gratitude
for his former services, their admiration of the high bearing
of his chancier, and their constant hope that lee may enjoy
that dignified ease which his great talent and the manliness
of his conduct have so justly earned.' The alderman said
he could not take a better opportunity than was afforded by
the swearing in of the !gentleman who had been lately ap-
pointed, to call for the ingenuous feelings of the court upon
the subject of the chancier of one who Ind filled that
office from the moment of his endiom to that of his eleva-
tion as Chief Justice of England. (Cheers.)
Sir PETER LAURIE felt great pleasure in wending
the mambo, and was proud to say that he enjoyed the
personal friendship of Lord Denman. He rejoiced to say
that his lordship's appearance on Saturday gave unman
of a favourable state of health, likely to be permanent.
(Hear, hear.) The City had long ago sustained a severe
logs in him as oomunon-serjeant, and now the great commu-
nity would have to deplore in him the leas of one of the
briahtmt Ornaments that ever adorned the bench. (Cheers.)
SALOMONS begged to be allowed to add his
expends= of admiration and gratitude to those which had
already been se ably and judiciously uttered. Twenty
years had 'mealy elapsed since persons of the Jewish re-
ligion were prohibited from the exercise of one of the
ordinary privileges of &inns by reason of incompetency,
arising from the onseientfous repugnance to the taking of
gospel oaths. At that time Lied Denman invaded the in-
tolerant doctrine, and by meting the common law of the
land the statue. law, established a remedy which made
not only the Jews, but the whole community, his
debtors. (Loud sheers.)
The resolution was then unanimously and by acclamation
agreed to. Some oenversati3n took plea on the subject of
departing from the customary forms of the court in sign
