THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION

OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday the Committee of the whole Court upon the
Municipal Institutions of the City met at the Guildhall.
The LORD MAYOR in the Chair.
Mr. PRITCHARD moved that application be made to Lord
John Russell for a copy of the Report of the Municipal
Inquiry Commissioners at the earliest possible period, and
to receive a deputation of the Committee to confer with.him
previously to the introduction of any Bill into Parliament
for the Reform of the Corporation of London.
The •resolution was agreed to unanimously, and it was
resolved that a copy of the resolution should be signed
by the Town Clerk, and communicated to Lord John
Russell.

Mr. LAWRENCE said that seeing some of the Adermen
present, he expected to hear them say something about a
Reform in their Court, especially as that body was likely to
be very much affected by the approaching measure. It
would be desirable to know whether they would propose to
vacate their seats at once, and whether they would be sa-
tisfied with triennial or septennial elections to the gown.—
(Hear.) A matter of the kind would come better from the
Aldermen themselves. It was desirable to know, too, whe-
ther they were disposed to give up the power they were in
the habit of exercising, of giving pensions and increasing sa-
laries ; and as they were said, too, to be so ripe and anxious
for reform, whether they were, to show their sincerity, wil-
ling to give up their exclusive privileges ?
Sir PETER LAURIE was not able to answer for his bre-
thren what they might be willing to give up, or what to re-
tain. For his part, he was ready to yield part of what the
Aldermen now possessed.
Alderman HARMER said it would be desirable to adopt
a resolution as to the privileges which they all wished to
maintain.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the ci-
tizens of London ought not to be deprived of their right
to elect their representatives annually, or to elect their own
Magistrates.--1-(Cheers.) For his part he was desirous of
going to the constituent body periodically, and he thought
that the Court of Aldermen ought not to possess the power
of using the City funds.--(Hear.)
Mr. JUPP here desired that the reports of the Commit-
tee of the whole Court should be read. • This having been
done—
Mr. PRITCHARD said, if it was the opinion of the Court
that it would be better to proceed to the discussion of the
important matters contained in the reports which had been
just read, he should be prepared to do so, although it was
obvious to all 'that there were many propositions contained
in those reports which it would be desirable to modify and
alter.—( Hear.)
Mr. C. PEARSON said, it was almost too much of Mr.
Lawrence to begin the process of conciliation by requiring
the Aldermen to commit felo de se, by not only surrendering
the greater part of the privileges which they now exercised
as a body, but positively by laying down their very existence
as Aldermen. It was within the compass of probability
that that body might be convinced by argument of the ne-
cessity which there existed for them to surrender their pre-
judices to the spirit of the times ; but they were not in a fit
state to make such groat conceasione !Lat. time- 14e
was satisfied that the interests of the citizens demanded the
entire abolition of the Court of Aldermen, as a Court. In
reform of the Corporation abuses he was prepared to go
as far as any man living—(cheers)—but this he would say,
if the measure to be introduced in the Legislature was to
take from the inhabitant householders of the ward the
annual election of the Common Council, and the periodical
election of their Magistrates, and from the inhabitants at
large the choice of their Mayor and Sheriffs, he would rather
see the present Constitution of the City retained with all
its faults, than he would he would have it exchanged for
stipendiary Justices and Crown-appointed Magistrates, as
was the case in the General Municipal Bill.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Pearson concluded by moving a resolution to the effect
stated in his speech.
After a few observations from other Members the mo-
tion was agreed to, and a Sub-committee was appointed.—
Adjourned.
