COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—A Court of Common
Council was held on Tuesday. at which various topics
were discussed. Mr. T. H. Hall, the Chairman of the
Improvement Committee, brought up a report which
proposed that the Court should petition Parliament
against the North Metropolitan Railway Bill. An
amendment in opposition to the report was proposed,
but was lost, and the original motion was agreed to.
Mr. Hall brought up a report from the Improvement
Committee for the discharge of a further part of the loan
for the new street calved Cannon-street West ; 80,000/.
was necessary, to be repaid within 12 months. Mr. Hall
intimated that the new street will be opened throughout,
into St. Paul's Churchyard, in a month's time. Agreed
to. Mr. Deputy Holt moved, "That the sum oflo,ooot.
of the city's cash be placed at the disposal of the Com-
missioners of Sewers of this city, to aid them in the im-
provement they are enabled de
effect under the several
acts of Parliament which give them the power to deal
with the property of our fellow citizens. ' A discussion
arose upon this proposition, and it was rejectetl. A bill
was brought up and road a third time, for repealing so
much and such parts of two several acts of Common
Council—the one made and passed on the 4th day of
July, 1712—and the other on the 15th day of April,
1606—as relates to the prohibition of Ow employment of
non-freemen.
