tion of a Sheriff, to serve with ;JONATHAN • MILES,'
Esq. It was not until two o'clock that the Loan
MAYOR and Alden-Oen ascended the Hustings, at-'
tended by the Sheriffs and City Officers.
The LORD MAYOR, immediately after the usual
proclamation, advanced between the Mace and
Sword Bearers in the front of the Hustings, and
apologized for his late attendance ; he belieVed. it '
Was the first time that he was under the necessity
of 'excusing himself on such an occasion, and the
delay was. not to be attributed to any, negleCt on his
part, but to the/ pnblic btsines4 in which he had
been, until that moment, engaged.
Ali': aI:CORDER thenearae forward, and•stated, the

preSsing his convi6tion that,the,:Gentlernn present

Previous to the eletaion;

, .
WArrnmot eicpressed his hope that the
choice of the LiVery would not tall upon 'Mr.
ALJAN .PEAJ:SOI7, whose age and infirmities ren-
dered him wholly unable to fill the station for
which he had been proposed. He was followed by
a Gentleman (whose name we could not learn),who
,produced four certifiCat.-,S from medical persons, to
slim Mr. PERSON'S total Iticapacit, from-the state
of hiS health, to be _removed from his present resi-
dence, which was ?00miles from the City.
Mr. TATLOCK then. proposed JAMES BiIAttiSCOMB,
ESCl,:eitiZell and Glover, to fill the office of Sheriff
He said, this Gentleman was distinguished for the
respeQability of his politiCal condad, and fOr his
warm attachment to the principles of the British
COitsqtution. A General Elea on was now ap-
prOaching, and .it was peculiarly necessary that the
,choice of the Livery should devolve upon one who
would with cOnrage arid ability 'discharge the sacred
functions of the °thee. 'it had been before seen
that Sheriffs could forget their charataer and situa-
.,
