ARCH 24, 1822.

substantially true. (Hear.).—The Hon. Alderman, who
had been a member of the Court for 36 years, now says
they arc factions, he almost•said treasonable—that they
are Jesuits and demagogues.—[Sir W. Curtis here said
he only spoke figuratively.}--Of some, he says, he has a
better °pillion ; but even them he treats as fools, who
resign the exercise of their understanding to their factious
brethren. The Hon. Baronet assumes to himself the
possession of transcendent 'talents and wisdom , how
happens it that lie can only exert these great qualities in
the House of Commons, ohd when he comes before
the Court they.appear to utterly forsake him? lie (Mr.
Weitlemitto) 414<1.1tat jeweelw.b. attributebidmotites' to'
any individual, bre( the Mo. Baronet had so much
wisdom and honour, they should have beets discovered
in a 6 years. (Hear.)-110 Was sorry to be obliged- to
mention another matter in the absence of the gentleman
to whom it referred. Ile (Alderman Waithman) sent a
private note to Sheriff Williams, the evening before her
Majesty's funeral, stating his intention to attend. That
note was given to Mr. Butterworth, and made a ground
for attacking him (Alderman Weidman) in the House
of Commons, where he conk' not defend hioisdf.
Mr. OLDHAM rose to order. He said, if. the worthy
Alderman had not given Jr. Williams notice, it was
unfair-to attack him in his absence.
Ald. WAITHMAN said he had written Mr. Williams
several letters on the subject, but received no answer,
and had given hint notice that he would take the first
opportunity of bringing the matter before the Court;
but he did not wish to press the matter; he felt it unne-
cessary to speak of his motives—his public conduct was
open to the world, and if it were now necessary to de-
fend his motives, he should feel himself unfit to appear
before any virtuous assembly.—( Hear, hear!) The
worthy Alderman noticed an opitoon given by Sir W.
Curtis that one Sheriff could nut act without the other,
which, he said, chewed great want of information on
the subject.
Sir W. CURTIS said one Sher:lf might act in London,
but not ir, Middlesex, and it was happy for him (Ald.
Waithman) that he was but half a Sit: Jiff, or he might
have been in Neivgate.—(Cries of order : )
Mr. (holism said the Hon. Barimet was tumid to
attend the Court, and give good counsel when the Report
of the Committee was nosier consideration,• instead 44
which he made no obj:ction to the report in the Court,
hut went to the House of Commons to impeach it. The
Hon. Blrtmet said the Committee had no right to in-
quire; but suppose the Sheriff, instead of quelling a riot,
had abetted it, would not the I imiuurabie Baronet be
the first to call for inquiry?—(lleer !)
Sir C. HuNTER said, it was uulortutilte that Sir W.
Curtis should in the heat of araoinent, have stated quite
as much as he had done. Sir C recommended the pre-
vious question as the proper course to pursue.
Mr. W 'Axis said, if the Court did not support the
original resolutions, they did not deserve the name of
Englishmen.
Alderman ATKINS said, it was impossible what Sr
William Curtis had said of die corporation could inj.sre
that great body; but the resolutitia, if carried, might
injure hint. Ile supported the previous question, as
more dignified.
Mr. TAYLOR said, it was not the first insult the Hon.
Alderman had offered to the Court.
Sir W. CUR tis said it might nut be the last.—(Loud
cries of order.)

Mr. GALLOWAY said he felt it his duty to support the
motion for censure on Sir W. Curtis. Lie had allowed
the Report of the Committee to p.m the Court without
observation, but in the House of Commons there were
no hounds to his libels and slanders.--(liar.)

Mr. FAvELL replied shortly; after which the previous
question was put, but very few hands were held up in
support of it. Tire question was then putt on the ori•
;dual resolutions, which were carried by a great ma-
jority. lie then moved, that the Fes:4ll6ons 141,11114 Ire

We learn, from authentic sources of information,
