Court of Common Council.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
in the Council Chamber at Guildhall, the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. It being th'3
the first appearance of his Lordship in court siur.o
his accident, he was hailed with loud chi ,ers on
entering the chamber. There was a notice on the
paper of business that at this Court the Lord Mayor
would present to Sir M. Moutefiore, the res olution
of thanks agreed to at a previous court, but in con.
sequence of the continued indisposition of the
baronet the presentation was postponed.
A report was brought up from the Joint Commit-
tee of Coal, Corn, and Finance and Board af Corn
Meters in trust, of proceedings in the Areigting of
Grain (Port of London) Bill in Parliament, and re 4
commending that authority be given to the Board
of Corn Meters in trust to provide the necessary
machinery to ascertain the quantity of any grain
coming into the port of London, either by weight.
or measure, at the option of the respective partieu.
The report was considered with closed doors, but
it was afterwards understood to have been agreed to.
A motion by Mr. J. Richardson, " That a copy of
the report of the Select Committee of the House of
Commons on Sewage (Metropolis, &c., 1864), just
presented, be furnished to each member of the
Court."

This matter was also discussed with closed doors,
but it was eventually carried,

A motion was placed upon the paper of business
by Mr. John Symonds, to the effect that it should be
referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee
to arrange with the Court of Aldermen, and to re-
port to the Court of Common Council as to the man-
ner of bringing into operation the following resolu-
tion of the Court, under date of the 14th February,
1857 :—" That the Aldermen submit to the Court of
Common Council detailed quarterly estimates of
their probable expenditure for each next recurring
quarter, and when approved and ordered for payment
by this Court, the Aldermen to draw on the Chem-
ber for that amount, and to present quarterly fie•
counts of the sums actually disbursed in each last
preceding quarter."
The motion of Mr. Symonds was to do away with
the difficulty between this Court and the Upper
Bench in connexion with the Pauper LunatieAsYle"
In consequence of some technicality, however, the
motion could not be put, and,
Mr. SYMONDS gave notice of a motion to the same
effect.
A report was brought up by Mr.
John Selday on
the reference of the 2d of May last, relative to the
designs and models of
internal and external decorations of the new roof
of the Guildhall, and with
the same, which were agreed to.
