Upon which the following Resolutions' were severally
passed unanimotisly?
ist.. That the Thanks of this Wardmote be vresented to
Samuel Bird-fili§q.One Of the aldermen of this City, aid late
Deputy. of this Hard, for the able and unreinitted attention
he has uniformly given to the duties of his office, and for his
faithful :services as one' of: iSs KepreSentatives in Common
Council, for the last twenty-six years ; during which period
his conduct has been decidedly marked by firm and unshaken
loyalty, to his King, and steady attachment to our mosrex-
Ce,llent Constitution in Chufch and State. His late Consti-
tuents 'recoiled with the warmest approbation his wise and
patriotic endavolirs to establish a VAlunteer Armed Force in
this Metropolis, who might be ready, at all times to repel the
threatened invasion of an ambitious.ami yindittive foe, which
endeavours were followed-with complete success, and similar
Institutions formed throughout the British Empire, arising
-nmeh'from,the example he exhibited, together with thearm-
ed A 55060011 of this Ward, tbfmtled in the year t 797, ,and
-Avnivib AssuLiatiuu, by his persevering- zeal, now proudly
ranks in the First Regintnt of I.uyal London Volunteers,
tinder his command;. Such conduct, in the opinion of this
,Wardmote, strongly evinces, that genius, talents, and pa-
triotism, are to be fOund an the private Citizens of Lon-
don, equally as in the other classes.of society ; and although
the firinaediate relations which have so song and so happily
subsisted between Mr. Alderman' Birch and the Inhabitants
of the Ward oficetithill are now dissolved, they cannot. but
confide in the -cOntinuance. of his exertions to promote the
-welfare of this City and the prosperity of his Country, in the
dignified situation of the Magistracy to "Which he has been so
honourably called.
ad. That a Copy of the above Resolutions, fairly tran-
scribed 915 vellum signed by the Ward Clerk, :and framed,
be presented to 11,, r. Alderman Birch, by the Deputy and Common Council:

-3d: That the Thanks of this Wardmote be given to Mr.
Alderman Flower, tbr his polite attention at ail times to the
Inhabitants of this Ward, and particularly fonhis impartNal
Conduct on this occasion.

;lhat the foregoing Letter And. above Resolutions, signed
,by the Ward Clerk, be inserted in several of the Morning and
.Evening Papers. •
