Court of Aldermen.

The usual Court of Aldermen Was held yesterday in the
Aldermen's-chamber, Guildhall, for the despatch of busi-
ness. The Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Hale) presided.
In
the absence of the Recorder the Common Sergeant officiated
as his representative.

Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons presented the usual
reports of the state of City prisons, from which it appeared
that in Newgate there wore 87 prisoners, of whom 11 males
and 3 females were in the infirmary. In the debtors' prison,
Whitecross-street, the number of inmates was 92 prisoners,
of whom six were in the infirmary. In the House of Cor-
rection at Holloway the total number of prisoners was 321,
of whom eight were in the infirmary. The surgeons of the
three prisons certified their sanitary state and condition.

OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE CITY.
A return prayed for as to the number of convictions for
obstructions by omnibuses, cabs, trucks, barrows, and other
vehicles in the thoroughfares of the City, with the fines
imposed by the sitting magistrates in each case. The
prayer came from the Court of Common Council.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY thought the expense of preparing
such a return ought to be avoided. It would put their offi-
cers to extra labour, and he believed the fullest information
could bo obtained at the Mansion-house and at the Guild-
hall Justice-room.

The matter was referred to the General Purposes Com-
mittee.

NEW BROKERS.
Fifteen gentlemen were sworn into the office of City
brokers, and five applicants were allowed.
The usual orders with reference to Lord Mayor's-day
were directed to be issued, and the court adjourned.

LONDON must have a SUPPER and MUSIC
ROO5l for Gentlemen. Remember, we wait for you at
'YAMS' after the Covent-garden Opera and the Theatres.
