REDUCTION OF CIVIC HOSPITALITY

EXPENDITURE.

The Committee appointed upon Mr. Charles
Pearson's motion to sit in Guildhall, upon the sub-
ject of examining into the propriety of reducing the
allowance to the Lord Mayor, and cutting down to
a reasonable size the salaries of the chief city
officers, has been for some days actively employed.
Unanimity, however, has not been the order of the
day. The genius of economy, which seldom fails
upon occasions of charity to preside over the coun-
cils of the Corporation•of the city of London, has
met with but few partisans amongst the 23 selected
by the Court to decide upon the merits of the pro-
position.

- Mr. PEACOCK, of Bishopsgate-street, was ap-
pointed Chairman.

Mr. PEARSON intimated to the Committee that
his first proposition should refer to the chief officer
of the city, whose allowance appeared to him much
greater than the condition of the Corporation funds
justified. The Lord Mayor's salary had, in conse-
quence of the high price of provisions, and what
were considered indispensable articles of luxury,
been increased 500/. in 1805, and in 1811 an addi-
tional increase had been made to the same amount,
for the same reason. The low state of provisions,
&c., however, never produced a corresponding re-
duction; but he trusted that now that an example
was set where the city of London was accustorned.to
look in vain for precedents, the work of retrench-
ment would not fail to exhibit itself. He then pro-
posed that the allowance to the Lord Mayor should
be reduced 1,5001. a-year. The grounds for a re•
duction to that extent were the low price of provi-
sions and the increase of certain fees to the Chief
Magistrate. Part of the income of the Lord Mayor
was derived from the entrance into port of vessels
laden with corn. Last year the money arising from
that source amounted to 1,6991., which was paid in
lieu of samples of corn, but the Committee should be
fully satisfied upon that head by the returns from
the Cocket-office. In fact, the cocker-writing of
corn had increased since the opening of the ports
5001. a-year, and an addition had been made to the
perquisites of the Lord Mayor of a similar sum on
account of the duty on the gauging of oil and wine.
Mr. Pearson referred to the regular city accounts to
prove that expenses were incurred by the Chief Ma-
gistrate which were wholly unnecessary, and in very
bad taste.

Against the proposition there was a sort of growl
in the Committee. Several Members declared that
if they stinted the Lord Mayor he would indemnify
himself, and have his revenge by a frightful economy
in the larder and the cellar of the Mansion-house.
Mr. S. DIXON was decidedly against reducing the
allowance, or adopting any measure calculated to
lessen the dignity of the Chief Magistrate.
Alderman THOMPSON was ready to lay before the
Committee, if they should consider it requisite, an
account of the expenses incurred in his mayoralty;
but he by no means intended it to be understood
that he pointed to his year as a criterion for the di-
rection of other gentlemen. On the contrary, he
had incurred expellees which perhaps be would not
have been justified in contracting if he had not been
a Member for the city as well as Chief Magistrate.
Alderman COFELAND could not avoid contrasting
in the Committee the conduct adopted towards the
different offices of Sheriff and Lord Mayor, and to
express his astonishment that while the Corporation
thought proper to indemnify the latter so bountifully,
the former was left without any allowance whatever.
In his own case, the expenses of serving the office
of Sheriff and of the election for the gown amounted
to 6,5001. over and above all that he received.

Mr. PEARSON urged the necessity of diminishing
the Lord Mayor's allowance. One of the items was
1441: for the Lord Mayor's " entertaining gown."
Another was 304 for the gown of the Common
Crier, who cries aloud to strangers in the Common-
hall that they must depart on pain of imprisonment.
Many complaints had been made of the present
style of the Mansion-house; but that building had
cost, in the repairs of itself, and its furniture and
plate, upwards of 2,0001. a year for the last 50
years; so that while, for that period, the cost of
improving the streets of London amounted to no
more than 55,0001., the residence of the Lord Mayor
caused an expenditure of 120,000/.
The proposition for reducing the Lord Mayor's
allowance 1,5001. a•year was then put and nega-
tived by 12 to 5.

Mr. PEARso,lthen moved, that a report should
be made specifically to the Court, that the Com-
mittee would not recommend the reduction of the
Lord Mayor's allowance.

Mr. PiwittEs;;;;;ded the proposition ; but
Mr. THOMAS WOOD, who strongly contended
against reduction, got rid of the question by pro-
