COURT OF ALDER MEN.

On Saturday a special court was milled for the purpose
6f considering the report of the Commissioners of
ifa-
quiry into the state of the corporation of London.
Mr. Alderman Wilson occupied ths. chair in the ab•
sense of the Lord Mayor, who was cocifined to his house
by indisposition.
Alderman SIDNEY gave notice of his intention to ask
the Lord Mayor to call a special court to consider the
following motion : "That a dutiful address be presented
to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously
pleased to remove from her councils the Right Ron. the
Earl of Aberdeen, who is no longer entitled to public
confidence as the First Minister of the Crown, and to
place at the head of her Administration a constitutional
adviser whose opinions are in, unisoin with the people at
this national crisis."
.Sir J. MUSGItOVE—Whom would you propose to sub.
stitute for the Earl of Aberdeen's
Merman SIDNEY—That is not for this court to decide
upon..

Alderman FaBEREOYEEE—If the application is for a
special court, I desire to be heard.
Alderman WlLsoN—Alderman Sidney says it is his
intention to ask the Lord Mayor to appoint one. We
have no power to discuss that matter.
Alderman FAREBIIOTHER—I do not know that the
conduct of one individual ought to be sufficient to induce
the Lord Mayor to call a special court, because, although
Mr. Alderman Sidney may, by his motion, expres, his
own and the opinions of those who go with him, be may
not express the opinions of the other members of this
court, and perhaps they would rather that the motion
should die a natural death than that the Lord Mayor
should be called upon to comply with the request.
(Hear, hear.)
Alderman SrDNEY—It is my intention to ask the Lord
Mayor to appoint a special court:
Alderman FAREBROTHER—And it is my intention to
ask his lordship not to so.
Alderman SIDNEY—My friend cannot discuss the
subject of what it is my intention to ask the Lord Mayor,
whose province it will be to decide upon my request. If
the Lord Mayor calls a special court, I shall more that
resolution ; if not, I shall move that resolution at the
next court.

Sir J. MusGsovE—l apprehend, as Alderman Sidney
has given notice to the court that it is his intention to
ask the Lord Mayor to call a special court to consider
that motion, that it is within our province to take notice
of that remark, and to consider whether we shall feel it
our duty to ask his lordship not to comply with the re-
quest. We are quite at liberty to express our opinion
that it is unnecessary for the Lord Mayor to call a spe-
cial court. (Hoar, hear.)
Sir R. W. GARDEN— I should think that as soon as the
request is made the Lord Mayor will sts mmen his brethren
together for the purpose of ascertaining whether their
views coincide with those of Alderman Sidney as to the
desirableness of calling a special court. , (Hear, hear.)
If I were Lord Mayor, that is the course rsheuld adopt.
I certainly should not take the responsibility upon my-
self of calling a special court upon a subject of this na-
ture. (Hear.)

Alderman FAREBIOTHER-2-For my part, I should be
charitable enough to let the thing the a natural death.
(Laughter.)
The subject then dropped.
