PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF
THE CITY TO GEN. GARIBALDI.

MEETING OF COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

THIS DAY.

The meeting of the Court of Common Council was held
to-day, and in consequence of the motion of Mr, Richard•
son, viz., the presentation of the Freedom of the City of
London to General Garibaldi, there was a very full attend-
-371 I ance of members.

The LORD MAYOR having taken the chair, and the pre •
liminary ,business having been transacted, the following
motion was brought forward :

"The present aim of the honorary freedom of the
City of London to General Garibaldi." •

Mr. RICHARDSON having referred to the arrival of
General Garibaldi in London, proceeded to say that he
thought it presented a fitting occasion for the citizens of
London to mark their appreciation of General Garibaldi by
presenting to him the honorary freedom of the City of
London. He felt certain that the extent of the honour
intended would be rightly estimated by General Garibaldi,
a noble disinterested man who had given freedom to
thousands. He concluded by moving :—" That the
honorary freedom of the City of London be presented
to General Garibaldi on his arrival in the metropolis."
Alderman A BBISS, in a highly eulogistic speech, se-
condE d the proposition.

Mr. NORRIS, after some, discussion, withdrew the
amendment for " the previous question," and having mar e
some remarks relative to the matter, concluded by moving
that an address of congratulation from the city of London
be presented instead of the honorary freedom.
Mr. RAY supported the amendment. He said it was not
competent for the court to present the honorary freedom of
the City of London to General Garibaldi, because he, as an
alien, could not receive it.

Mr. Deputy ELLIOT supported the original question. A.
great outcry had been got up against General Garibaldi
because it had been said he had asked England for a million
muskets, but he defied any one to prove that such an asser-
tion ever passed from the mouth of General Garibaldi.
(Rear, bear.) It was a foul libel, and only the enemies
of one who was the foremost man in the world, believed for
one moment the base insinuation. (Hear, hear.)
After a somewhat animated discussion,
The COMbION SERGEANT put the question, when the ori-
ginal motion was agreed to almost unanimously.
The 26th standing order of the Court having been sus.
pended,

Mr. RICELA.RDSON arose, amidst loud cheers, to move that
the freedom of the city, which the Court had just decided
to present to General Garibaldi, be enclosed in a gold box
value 100 guineas, (Cheers,) He remarked that whilst
the citizens of London, by such a proceeding, would only
be doing that which was right and proper, they would at the
same time be honouring one of the greatest, bravest, and
disinterested men of the people. (Cheers.)

Alderman MECHI said he had great pleasure in seconding
he motion. (Cheers.)

After a few remarks from several other members of the
Court,

The Countox SERGEANT submitted the motion to the
Court, when it was agreed to, amidst loud cheering.
The Court then proceeded with the other business on
the paper, which occasioned little or no interest, as nearly
one-half the members of the Court quitted the chamber on
the conclusion of the motion of Mr. Richardson.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.)

BRANDON V. RICKHARD.-THE NEW THEATRE COMPANY

(LIMITED).-SINGULAR ACTION.

This was an action to recover for work and labour done.
plaintiffs being a firm of attorneys, and defendant a stock-
broker.

Mr. Henry James (instructed by Mr. Tee, of Old Jury)
appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Sergeant Atkinson
(specially retained) and Mr. Kemp representing de-
fendant.

Mr. James, in opening the case to the jury, said that the
present action arose out of the recent formation of a com-
pany known as the New Theatre Company. There was no
doubt that this company created a great deal of excitement
in certain circles, and some speculation ensued. The de-
fendant was broker to the company, and acting upon his
instructions the plaintiff had performed certain work, The
defendant had attacked the directors of the company in the
Court of Chancery, and he asked the plaintiffs to make out
the bill of costs ti another person, so that it might not be
known he was not the person actively moving in the matter.
The bill, however, had been duly forwarded to the defen-
dant, who returned no answer to demands for the money,
and who made no objection to the bill of costs. Eventually
the defendant promised to send a cheque, but he had not
done so, and he (Mr. Jones) confidently waited the result
of this inquiry.
Mr Brandon said—l am the plaintiff, and am an attorney
of the Strand. In the first instance I was consulted by
Mr. Noah, who is in partnership with my brother. That
was in Juno last. I was consulted about 200 shares which
Mr. Noah had. There was no certificates issued, no settling
day was named, and the broker could not obtain his
commission. Defendant was broker to the New Theatre
Company, and on June 9th I met him in Abchurch-
lane. Defendant was of opinion that criminal proceedings
should be taken against the directors, but I was opposed to
such steps, as the directors would immediately take steps to
wind up the company. I took proceedings in Chancery,
and defendant said " As to the expenses I wish there to be
no misunderstanding ; Noah will pay you his half and I will
pay you mine." I agreed to this. Defendant particularly
directed me to keep his name in the background, because as
he was broker to the company it would not do for him to
figure against the directors. I prepared by order of the
defendant, a letter for the signatures of the shareholders.
Only one signed it. On the 27(1 June defendant intro•
duced a gentleman as a purchaser of shares, and wished me
to explain what I was doing. I filed a bill in equity, and
succeeded in getting the certificates from the directors. The
certificates were handed to me, and I sent them away to the
alleged purchaser, who was not at his office. Some con-
versation ensued, and then Mr. Noah had agreed to forego
the premium upon the shares upon condition that defen-
dent should pay the plaintiff's bill of costs. Defendant
offered me £52 108., bat I declined, and he then asked me
to send in a bill to Noah and not mention his name, as he
wished to keep in the background. The bill was duly
made out, and application made for the amount. After
many such demands I met the defendant in Change-alley,
in August last, who then apologised for not sending the
cheque, but promised to do before I could get back to my
office. I never received the money. Messrs. Noah and
Brandon stopped payment recently, and I now owe de-
fendant for his moiety of the bill, £69 10s. I have never
had one sixpence, even for costs, out of pocket.
Cross-examined—Noah's partner was my brother, and I
had done law business for the firm. A bill of costs which I
had direct against defendant was paid up after the threat
to take proceedings. Defendant was to receive £3OO from
the promoters of the company. We never take a written
retainer, at least, not once in fifty times. Mr. Rickards
had acted as our broker for thirteen or fourteen years. He
had a great interest in this matter, and was to get his com •
mission on the shares, When defendant wished the bill to
be made out to Noah, I advised the gentleman to have a
written undertaking, because I did not like the shifting.
Defendant's present attorney called upon me about the
business and I gave him information. Mr, Boucicault's
bankruptcy considerably complicated matters. Defendant
told me that he would pay his moiety of any charges in
Change-alley.
Plaintiff was re-examined upon the items in the bill of
costs. When defendant presented the cheque he had never
been applied to in reference to his own account for direct
business. The charges were made out from a diary.
Messrs. Valiance (defendant's attorneys) did nothing, but I
communicated with them at defendant's request. When-
ever defendant met plaintiff they conferred together as to
the steps to b 3 taken.

At the conclusion of the plaintiffs evidence Mr. Jonathan
Brandon was called to prove the retainer.
The case is expected to last a considerable time.

THAMES.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Catherine Holmes, a woman
of the town, and John Morgan, a young man, were charged
with highway robbery.
Henry Wyatt said—l live at No. 6, Upperßaker-street,
Stepney, and am a carpenter. Last night I was walking
through Whitechapel, a little after 11 o'clock. The female
prisoner, and two other women, came up to me, and said
" What are you going to treat us with." I said nothing;
I am going home. I went into the Black Lion public.
house to light my pipe, and had a pint of beer. The female
prisoner came in just after me, and I asked her to drink
the remainder of it after I had drunk a portion. I walked
out of the public .house and she followed me out and
took my arm at the end of Turner-street, near
the back of the London Hospital, She spoke to two
other woman, and directly afterwards turned round to me
and made a snatch at my watch. She succeeded in taking

it from my waistcoat pocket. I saw her and felt her d 3 it.
I laid hold of her and stuck to her. The prosecutor was
asked to explain what he meant by sticking to her. He
said—l mean that I kept my eye upon her. She made a
great effort to get away, and threw her shawl and bonnet
on the pavement. While I was struggling with her the
male prisoner came from the other side of the road, and said
" What are you goisg to do with that woman ? " and tried
to kick me, but he did not succeed. I then called" Police 1"
and the police came directly, and I gave the female prisoner
in charge, and held Morgan until another constable arrived,
and he was secured.

John M'Kay, a police constable, 411 K, said he heard the
prosecutor calling for the police, an.' saw him struggling
with the woman who accused him of taking liberties with
her. The male prisoner was standing on one side, and was
about to move away. He took him into custody. He did
not know Morgan, but he knew the woman Holmes, who
was a prostitute living in Shadwell. There were half a
dozen women of the same class about her when he came
up. The back of the London Hospital was a secluded place,
where many robberies had been committed.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said, " My watch was
fastened to a silver chain round my neck. It has been
broken from th e swivel."
The prisoners were remanded for a week.
