CO UR 7' OF COMMON COUNCIL,

Yesterday a Court was held; the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor in the chair. This being the last meeting during
the present mayoralty, the Council Chamber was nearly
filled with members, and the gallery crowded.
Mr H. BLAKE, being called upon, proposed the follow-
ing resolution, viz,, "That it he referred to the freedoms
committee to prepare a bill for extending the franchise
at ward elections, and to report the same to this Court."
After some discussion had taken place on the motion,
Mr Cox moved that the report upon the freedom ques-
ElOll bu icfcraca back to tho committee for execution;
but ultimately this amendment was negatived by a ma-

jority of 76 to 22.
Alderman LAW RANCE then moved the previous
question, which was also negatived ; but before
the " original motion" was Put, however, Aldermen
Wire and Finnic escaped from the aldermanic bench
by the side door, leaving but one alderman (L9.wrance)
present. This circumstance being noticed, a member in
his place exclaimed, "No Court." The Lord Mayor,
i however, sent the officer of the Court with the mace after
the departed aldermen, but upon his return he reported
that he had sought for but could not find them. Much
confusion ensued, several of the members declaiming
loudly of what they stated to be " a trick played upon
them;" Mr Anderton indignantly, though apparently
triumphantly exclaiming, " Have you not now the proof
that what I have told you with reference to the neoessi t 3
for a reform of the Court of Aldermen is neither more
nor less than the truth?"
The Loup MAYOR then took leave of the Court. He
said—l shall hand over to my successor, unsullied I trust,
my insignia of office, while I wish both to yourselves
and the Lord Mayor elect every happiness and pros-
perity. (Loud cheers.)
Mr NORRIS, in the name of the Court, offsred up a
high eulogiem upon the puectuality, urbanity, and gene-
rous character of the worthy chief magistrate on his re-
tirement, which was received with loud cheers, after
which the protracted sitting terminated.
