COURT OF commoy COLYCIL.

THE WPIAL !kIARRIAGE.

On Thursday a special Court of Common Council, which
wa► very thinly attended, and at which there was but two
'Wenner' besides the Lord Mayor, was held lin the purpose
of considering the propriety of addressing the Mince Re-
gent, the Queen, the Princess Elizabeth, and the Hereditary
Prince of Hesse Hom here, upon the marriage of the two last.
'Fite Lord Nlayor having stated the object, there was a
panne, as if for the purpose of fixing upon a mover. Alderman
hi ictges rose and said, he had nu doubt the questions lie hai
to propose would meet with the unanimous approbation and
adoption of the Court. A Iter a few words expressive of the
estimation in which the Princess Elizabeth and her roil-
!met were universally held, he rem:bided with tiros ing ad-
dresses in the order above mentioned.

Mr. Savage seconded the motion, whicli were unanimously

Ali% Dixon slid, he could not hell) noticing, in. the ninq
public manner, the thin attendance of Aldermen. A neglect
of such a ile,crii.tion, lipc.-nnalell an oecaNion, was extremely
condemnable, and the Court were !mould to prevent, if pttvii-
Wit, a sr stein of conduct which was eel tainly
and which, he was sorry to say, was not limited to one branch
Or their duties.

Mr. Griffiths felt very much. hurt at the peculiarly thin
Court, ann agreed in all that had been said about the absent
Aldermen. Ile declared that he should complain to thepub-
lie
of them, whenever he bast, such culpable itcdanees of
neglect.
3lr. Oldham said, he shoithi submit a motion to the Court,
upon au early day, upon the subject of the attendance, or
rather the nomattentlance, of the Aldermen to their ditties.
It was to hint a matter of doubt, whether the (butt had the
power of compelling them to do those duties. The question
should, however, be decided at once, that in the client of
their independence upon the Court, Parliament might be
applied to. Perhaps a titie for absence,. would have the effect
of sharpening people's memories.
Mr. Waithinan thought the Court was rather in an odd situ-
ation. litiionah the Mermen were generally inattentive to
the pet fat :flatlet. of their 11111101, the present was itnameasion

FINAL. EXAMINATION AN;) commurmENT
):t:1-.1", AT UttEENWICII.

- --•
Thursday masning, at an early hour, a vast number ef per-
CMS had collected round the House of l'orreetiati, Cold Bath
Fields, from motives of iu•ity, to see 2111! i (Tilted Tigard...rue,
Hussey. About a quarter befui e nine o'clock a giass-auaely
dt use out, in which was the prisoner heasiiy ;roiled, giia fah d
by three police-officers with him in the coach, slid three ur
four eonsh‘bles ou each side. They set cli for dititwich,
where his examination was to Like plare. The prisoner did
nut appear to feel the least {-mon to : there Was all ai 1' of bi
tat carelessness about au of the cnosla We:, got behind .
the coach and one on the box wi:h the co:whin:in, and the
coach diuve on at a quick pace iii order to get clear of the
crowd. On their arrival at Greenwich, the coach drove lip,
4111Wst several thousands of spectators assembled on the oc-
casion, to the door of the national school, near the chinch,
woich wa• fitted up with a bar, &e. for the examination.--
When the prisoner was conducted out of the roach, he saw
his brother, whom he shook by the hand and spoke to con-
cerning a debt of :is. lie was then taken'in and placer' ;it the
bar, and the examination proceeded before the following ma-
gistrates :--Culonel rifleman, Mr. Smyth, Mr. Davis, Mr.
SVatson, Mr. Williains, aid Mr. Puree'; Mr. Itickutt flue
solicitor, and several ether gentlemen were pi escort. 'file
prisoner's box was produced, ua which were 5 shirts,3 watches,
a silver punch-ladle, and other articles already mentioned
a former report, and likewise the ring and other !Mugs font.il
on the prisoner when apprehended. The whole of the pro.
perty produced was identified by Mr. George Bird, and Mrs.
Bell, washerwoman to Nit.. Bird deceased
The only material circumstance in the examination we here
subjoin; the rest was what has already appeared.
Mr. Ouster', the landlord of the Tiger's Head, stated that
Hussey and Hazeldon were at his house on Saturday, the dup.
preceding the murder about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he (liT•
not ace either of them after, until half past 10 o'clock, when
lie saw Hussey in the Lodge-room. What became of Hussey
from 3 o'clock mail 10 he could not say. Hussey slept at his
house on the Saturday night the murders were committed, rind
left as soon as he had breakfasted in the morning.
Nlagistrate.--• Were nut Hussey and !laze:duo in enitody
of the constables (Larkin and Hodges) at your house, a few
days after the murder Was discovered %" Yes, they were ;
and the constables examined them, and discharged them
without taking them before a magistrate."
Magistrate.—`• Did you nut then say that both Hussey and
Hazeldou were at your house all the night cut Saturday, on
windh the murders were supposed to have been cot iiiii 'Med •"
--'• I eau t !rosins ely say the precise words I tol.l the offi-
cers ; but if I did say it was under a mistake.
Lai kin and Hodges declared that the winless did most
positively say to them that Hussey and Itizeldoil were in his
house all the evening and night of the Saturday when the
murders were committed.

The 3lagistrate severely reprimanded the constables fur
not Winging the prisoners Wort:then, instead of taking upon
thcitiNelses the stake of Magistrate., to examine au 1 ch..-
charge prisoners ; and the witness, Aft. (fn-ten, was censur-
ed very much fur leading the otlicerb into au error, by speak-
ing a falsehood.

Mr. Otiteii s iid lie was sorry, bii: it was quite an error
what he said.

Toe evidence of Mrs. Garnlivin, of Peckham, Hussey 's bro.
thet's wife (which we have already gi veto etas ut I I Vold j the
only additional part of it wuttli notice is, that she ',kid that
Ilu•sev ;tint Hazeldon had heat' together at her latu•t•, and
that she lueud the watches belonging to Mr. lltrd in this, ey
box.

Mr. M. Bird was next examined. He seemed much
affected at the right of the hlociil.stanied propetty. He Wen.
titled the watches, the silver ladle, and alt the inner property.,
except the hank notes.
The el,ifknce of Mr. Litton, of the Greenwich academy.,
wars their.read ; the chief part has already appeared; the only
part worth mention that liassey a nil I Lizcidon isegorotly
Caine together, after the inord,!r, to his house, and cleaned
themselves, their shoes, :1:441 often ale and drank toge-
ther in his home; indeed, lie believed they were nearly al-
ways together, and had been companions Lor a cou,iderable
time.

Mrs. Ltitton stated; that the box of the pri.soner W 45 on the
same flour as that they had usually sat ill, and the, alw as
passed through it every night and morning Ilsey went
