Presentation of the Lord Mayor Elect,

(THIS DAY.)

This morning the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the Recorder,
and the other civic functionaries attended the Lord Chan-
cellor, for the purpose of presenting, for her Majesty's ap-
proval, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, whom the citizens had
elected to fill the office of Lord Mayor of London for the
ensuing year.
The Lord Chancellor was attired in his full State robes
of office, and attended by his secretary and purse bearer.
The RECORDER advanced and formally introduced the
Lord Mayor elect. He remarked that Mr. Alderman Law-
rence, whom the citizens had elected to fill the office of
Lord Mayor of London, was a gentleman in all respects
eminently qualified to fill the high and responsible office.
For many years he had carried on a large business, and in
all his dealings had been characterised by honour and in-
tegrity. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give an
account of Alderman Lawrence's antecedents, adding that
he was held in the highest possible esteem by his fellow-
citizens, and that he had the greatest confidence in present-
ing him to his lordship for her Majesty's approval.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then addressed the Lord Mayor
elect, and said it was with the greatest satisfaction that he
had to announce that her Majesty highly approved of the
choice which the citizens of London had made in electing
Mr. Alderman Lawrence to fill the office of Lord
Mayor, an office which was worthy the highest
ambition of the most distinguished man the city
of London could produce, His Lordship then alluded
to the part the worthy alderman had already taken in pub-
lic affairs, and concluded by saying that as the Chief Judge
at the Central.Crininal Court, he had no doubt he would
discharge his duty with the same carefulness and zeal as
all his predecessors. In every respect he felt peculiarly
gratified in expressing to Alderm in Lawrence her Ma-
jesty's high approval of the choice which the citizens had
made in electing him to be chief magistrate of the City of
London.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then advanced to the Lord
Mayor and shook hands with him, as also the other civic
dignitaries present.

The loving cup having been handed round, the civic
party retired.
