'Mr. Deputy PEACOCK seconded the resolution, which ,
'was carried with great enthusiasm.
Alderman COPELAND in making his acknowledgments
said, it might not be unbecoming in liiini,on that occa-
sion to make one or two remarks on the subject of the
Court of Common Council. Seeing the nature of the
evidence that had been given before the Commissioners
by some persons, and seeing the disposition of the Com-
tnissioners not to crossexamine any of the witnesses, he
thought the corporation had done wisely in remaining
silent : but he could not aliow the Court of Common
Council to be re-elected without making one or two re-
marks in his capacity of one of the City magistrates.
When he reflected that there was something like 300
working days in the year, and that the Common Coun-
cil had worked in the discharge of their duties 874
times, it was certainly highly creitable to them. They
had attended 80 Courts of Common Council, 474 com-
mittees, 256 sub-committees, and had gone upon views
64 times. Consequently, 206 gentlemen of the Court
of Common Council had had these duties to perform.
They had attended, more or less, 874 times. Now,
he should like to ask whether the great merchants
of London, and the great bankers of London who were
to succeed to the high civic offices under the new state
of things, and who were to become the managers of that
great ,corporation, would devote so much of heir time
and attention to-the discharge of their onerous duties ?
He thought that the only blot upon the escutcheon of
the corporation of London was that they had too many
weresin
since he
e hadhighly
been paid. T h Those
opinions member
officers,of
the corporation; ahe d
h at i a
t heldandt they
ey
everthe
more he looked into the mat-
ter the more satisfied he was that his opinions were cor-
rect. Some of the evidence that had been given he was
at a loss to account for ; indeed, he could not have be-
lieved it had he not seen it direct from the short-hand
writer's notes. A witness had told the Commissioners that
the corporation was everything that Was dirty arid ba'd-;
and, when pressed for the names of the persons who
had been guilty of corruption, excused himself on the
ground that he had been their agent, and that therefore
such a communication would be a breach of professional
honour. (Laughter.) He viewed such proceedings with
unspeakable' disgust. He regretted that there had been
.an amount of asperity in the evidence given before the
commissioners which he could not too highly condemn,
and which was totally unworthy of the character of the
persons who had given it ; but he believed that, so far
from doing the corporation any harm, such exaggerations
would ultimately confer benefit upon it. (Cheers.)
The proceedings then terminated.

The following gentlemen were re-elected, unopposed,
as Common Councilmen for the ensuing year :—Messrs.
Ilawtrey (deputy), Maughan, Laurie, Snell, Millard,
Maynard, Patten, and Grimvade, the last filling the va-
cancy occasioned by the retirement of Deputy Bridge.

[PRICE SD.
