BREAD-STREET WARD.

----- ••-----•
AT a COURT- of WARDMOTE held at the
School House of the Cordwainers and Bread-street Wards,
' on the 21st day of December, 1838, and continued by adjourn-
ment on the 224, before the Worshipful JOHN LAINSON, Esq.,
Alderman of the said Ward, for the Election of Ward Officers for
the year ensuing,
It was resolved unanimously.
That it is the opinion of this IVardmote that the protracted
settlement of the scheme for the future appropriation of the surplus
funds of " Carpenter's Charity," amounting to nearly 25,0001.,
occasioned by the opposition of the Trustees to the Report of the
Master in Chancery, after having been about ten years in progress
of inquiry, has placed the matter in such a state that it may take
four or five years to come to a final settlement, to the great injury
and loss both to the inhabitants and the funds.

That this Wardmote has received with feelings of unmixed and
unfeigned regret a letter from Henry Lainson, Esq., intimating,
that owing to the illness of a part of his family, and his consequent
frequent absence from town, he retires from the honourable office
of one of the Representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common
Council, and convinced of the sincerity of Mr. Lainson's assurance,
" that it will at all times afford him much pleasure, if in his power,
to promote the interests of this Ward ;" this Wardmote anxiously
hopes that Mr. Lainson may, in the retirement of domestic life,
enjoy that happiness which results from the conscientious and
honourable discharge of public duties.
That this Wardmote is anxious to express the high sense it en-
tertains of the long sad valued services of the late Deputy, 'Wil-
liam Mathie, Esq., who, during a period of forty-two years was
one of the representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common
Council. His constant and zealous attention to the duties of his
office—his integrity of principle and urbanity of manners, will long
endear his memory to the inhabitants of the Ward of Bread-street,
and while they sincerely offer their condolence. to his afflicted
daughters for the irreparable loss they have sustained, they entreat "
them to reflect, as some alleviation, on the high character of thoir
parent, as a husband, a father, and a friend.
That a fair copy of the foregoing Resolution be signed by the
Ward Clerk, and presented'to the family.
That. it is the opinion of this Wardmote that the existing Corn-
law is unjust in principle and pernicious in effect, and that the Re-
presentatives of this Ward be requested to support any measure
made in the Court of Common Council for its repeal.
That the cordial thanks of this Wardmote be given to the Wor-
shipful John Lainson, Esq., Alderman, for his kind and charitable
feeling in bestowing his presentations to Christ's Hospital upon the
children of inhabitants of this Ward, for the seal, ability, and in-
tegrity, with which he discharges the arduous duties devolving upon
a Magistrate of this city—for the ready access he has uniformly
afforded to the inhabitants of this Ward—for his polite attention to
his fellow-citizens—and for his impartiality during the present
Election.

That the foregoing resolutions be inserted in the usual Morning
and Evening Papers, and signed by the Ward Clerk.
JAMES JOSIAH MILLARD, Ward Clerk.
