WILSON, MAYOR.
A COURT of MAYOR and ALDERMEN,
.LA. held in the Inner Chamber of the Guildhall of the City
of London, oa the 12th day of March, 1839, and in the second
year of the reign of Victoria, of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, Queen, &c.
Resolved—That this Court has observed with the deepest
feelings of regret the Bill brought into Parliament by the ad-
visers of the Crown, intituled " Bill for further improving the
Police in and near the Aletropolis," whereby it is proposed to
inclade the City of London in the Metropolitan Police district,
and thereby put this ancient and renowned city under the con-
trol of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police.
Resolved—That the citizens of London, from the earliest pe-
riod, have exercised and enjoyed the right of electing their
Maoistratcs, and of making and carrying into execution all
neltiNry regulations for their internal government, protection,
an_ e enee.

Resolved—That the rights of the Citizens of London, exist-
ing from time immemorial, have been guaranteed, strengthened,
and confirmed to them by the Charters of successive Monarch
from the reign of William the Conqueror, and by divers sta-
tutes of all estates of the realm in Parliament assembled.

Resolved—That these rights, liberties, and privileges have
ever been exercised by the Citizens of London for the good of
the community, the preservation of the peace and order of this
ancient City, and for the prosperity, security, and welfare of the
Empire.

_Resolved—That by the Bill now before Parliament the Com-
raissioners of the Metropolitan Police are appointed justices of
the peace for this City and the liberties thereof, in direct sub-
version of their ancient rights and privileges, and in opposition
to all principles of local or self-government by the people.
Jilt-solved—That the Corporation of London having esta-
b 'shed an effective Police force fully adequate to the wants, and
z:ialited in all respects to the peculiar localities of the City of
London, and at the same sime relieving the citizens from the
onerous burden and duties of ward constable : such Police also
being based upon the principles and in effectual co-operation
with the Metropolitan Police Establishment, no reason or pre-
tett whatever exists for the assumption of the extraordinary
power contained in the Bill for placing the City of London un-
der the co•trol of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police.
Resolved—That this Court, therefore, confidently calls upon
all classes of its fellow-citizens, who are bound by their oaths
to defend the rights and privileges of this City, to unite with
them in every legal and Constitutional measure to oppose this
Pill passing iu a law.
