Rev. James Edwards, rector of Barningham, Suffolk,
and chsplatii,to the Lord Mayor, taking his text from ht
Kings, cliap.,43, "And Solomon slept with his fathers,
and Rehoboara reigned in his stead." On the return
of the Corporation from church, the Lord Mayor took
the chair, and the business of the day was immediataly
proceeded with.
The RECORDER explained the object of the meeting,
and called upon the Liverymen immediately to proceed
to the nomination of two citizens, from whom the Court
of Aldermen could elect the chief magistrate of the
City for the year ensuing.

Sidney, Alderman Moon, Alderman Salomons, Alderman
Finnis, Alderman Lawrence, Alderman Carden, and

and Croll, declared the show of hands to be in favour of
Thomas Challis, Esq., Alderman and Butcher, and
Thcmas Sidney, Esq., Alderman and Grocer. Alder-

absence he returned with the intelligence that the eke-
tim of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on Alderman
Challis, as announcement that was received with loud
cheers.

ment which had been paid to him, and promised to sus-
