OR REPEAL OF ACTS) RILL

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of
business. It was the first Court of the present
mayoralty.
The LORD MAYOR, upon taking the chair, addressed
the members, and said he was convinced he should
receive such support and assistance from them as
would enable him to fill the chair to the satisfaction
of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.)
Mr. G. SELSON gave notice that at the next annual
election of the officers of the Court he should move
that the present Clerk of the Works be denominated
what he really was—the Architect and Surveyor of
the Corporation.—(Hear, hear.)
THE LATE LORD MAYOR.
Deputy EVANS rose to move a vote of thanks to
Sir George Carroll, the late Lord Mayor, for his
conduct during his year of office. He felt that the
late Lord Mayor had done great credit to the Corpo-
ration by the whole of the proceedings during the
mayoralty ; but he was not a stranger to the efforts
which had been made to counteract the motion of
thanks to be proposed for the consideration of the
Court, as due to a gentleman for whom they ought all
to entertain the highest respect. He regretted, for the
honour of the Court, that he had grounds for making
the observation, but he trusted that he should find them
unanimous in their determination to do justice to the
late worthy and excellent Chief Magistrate. The de-
puty then moved the following resolution :—" That the
thanks of this Court be presented to the Right Hon.
Sir George Carroll, Knight, late Lord Mayor, for
the efficient manner in which he discharged the
various and important duties of chief magistrate, for
the uprightness of conduct and unvaried assiduity
with which he performed the greatly increased la-
bours of his office in the administration of justice, for
the liberal support which he so cheerfully extended,
to the charitable institutions which adorn the metro-
polis,
and especially for the sympathy manifested
towards the distressed Irish and Scotch during the
late famine by aiding the funds of the British As-
sociation, and by acting as the chairman of the com-
mittee ; for his successful efforts to protect the trade
of this city agaiiist fraud and dishonesty, for the
manner in which he upheld the ancient reputation of
this corporation for hospitality, and for his readiness
of access and courteous conduct to all classes of his
fellow-citizens."—(Hear.)
Mr. DAKIN seconded the vote of thanks in a few
words, expressive of the strong feeling of respect and
admiration which he entertained towards the late
Lord Mayor, than whom he declared no chief magis-
strate had ever acted with greater ability, integrity,
zeal, and hospitality.—(Hear.)
Mr. W. LAWRENCE could not allow such a motion
to be put without making a few observations. It
had pleased the late Lord Mayor's friends who had
drawn up the vote of thanks to say but little of that
to which the attention of the Court ought to be most
particularly directed, the conduct of Sir George
Carroll to the members of that Court, as the repre-
sentatives of the great constituency of the city of
London.—(Hear, hear.) In the vote of thanks many
things had been well said of one of whom it could not
be denied that he possessed the qualities of a perfect
gentleman ; but then these were matters with which
the court had, in considering the claims of a Lord
Mayor to a vote of thanks from the corporation, no-
thing at all to do. They were to consider whether
he had in presiding over that Court taken care to up-
hold its privileges, to support its character, and to
protect the rights of his fellow-citizens, or whether he
had not, on the contrary, when a question connected
with these rights arose, thrown himself into the arms
of a gentleman who was not the legal adviser of the
Court, and abandoned all those interests upon an
authority which was well known to be adverse to
their views. Mr. Lawrence then detailed with consi-
derable force the proceedings adopted by the court at the
commencement of the late mayoralty, relative to the
Bill which formed the theme of so bitter a dispute
between the two branches of the corporation. The
City had undergone of late years many alterations,
and it had been found necessary by some of the most
wealthy and respectable of the inhabitants to reside
out of town with their families, at the same time that
they kept their warehouses and shops in the City, and
contributed largely to the support of its indepen-
dence. It was objected that the elective franchise was
forfeited by that movement, and the Court of Common
Council, in which nobody doubted the power to
remedy the evil existed, appointed a committee to
bring in a Bill with that object. The proceedings in
the Bill had gone on without interruption up to the
third reading, when the Court of Aldermen suddenly
objected, by the advice of the Recorder, to the further
prosecution of it as illegal, inasmuch as it had not ori-
ginated in their court. The Lord Mayor at once
adopted a course in direct hostility to the views of
the Court of Common Council, refused to allow the
Bill to be proceeded with, and subsequently acted in
opposition to every effort of the Court to correct the
existing evil by means of conciliation.—(Hear, hear.)
If the Court would allow a vote of thanks to a
Lord Mayor who thus trampled upon their rights
and tyrannized over them as a body, they would
deserve indeed to be scouted and reviled by those
who appointed them as the protectors of the privileges
of the citizens of London.—(Hear, hear.) A good
deal of tact had been exhibited at the conclusion of
the late mayoralty, for the purpose of steering through
the difficulties occasioned by the obstinate persever-
ance in so offensive a course. It has often been said
that the nearest way to a corporator's heart was
through,his stomach—(Laughter)—and the project of
catching the vote of thanks which had been so se-
verely risked by a ball to the wives and daughters of
the Common Councilmen was adopted. The system
adopted towards the Court of Aldermen had proved
already effective. The late Lord Mayor had by
some means omitted to give his brethren what was
called the alderman's coach order dinner, a piece of
negligence which was very severely felt, and it was
intimated to him that if he meant to confirm that
omission, a vote of thanks for his conduct during the
year should certainly stick in the court; but if the
feast were given, the very authority from whom he re-
ceived the intimation would himself move a resolution
not to be surpassed for the vigour and elegance of its
phraseology.—(Laughter.) The coach order dinner,
to which every alderman was entitled to take four
visitors, was given, and the alderman who had used the
threat for the sake of the entertainment was as good
as his word, and moved a vote of thanks full of the
most exquisite praise, which was carried unani-
mously.—(Loud laughter.) Presuming upon the
success of the speculation upon the Court of Alder-
men, the friends of the late Lord Mayor determined
to try project No. 2 upon the Court of Common
Council, by giving a dance to the wives and daughters
of the members.—(Laughter.) If the Court would
pass a vote of thanks to a Lord Mayor who had so
completely denied their rights, they would give the
most intelligible invitation to all other Lord Mayors
"to go and do likewise."—(Hear, hear.) The vote
of thanks spoke of the exercise of hospitality by the
late Lord Mayor. Why, what was paid for that hos-
pitality ? The least a Lord Mayor ever received
was 7,0001. Sometimes the amount was 8,0001.
For what was that sum given to him ? Why, for
the exercise of hospitality to be sure ; and would the
Court plunge so deeply into idiotcy as to give glowing
thanks to the individual who received that money for
the manner in which he spent that money, after
having done all in his power to show that he held
their power and privileges in utter contempt?—
(Hear, hear.) He regretted the opposition he felt
bound to give to the motion, as he had a real respect
for Sir George Carroll as a private gentleman, but he
could not conscientiously sit down without moving
" the previous question."
Mr. BOWER seconded the amendment. He wished
the members of the Court to stand well with their
electors by defending the privileges confided to them.
They came into the Court expecting that they had
the right to express in it their feelings and opinions
upon matters important to the constituency, and they
were authoritatively stopped by the late Lord Mayor.
What would be said if the Court of Common Council
passed the vote of thanks to a chief magistrate who
had given such decided opposition to them ? Would
it not be an acknowledgment that the Court of
Common Council were in the wrong, and that the
late Lord Mayor was perfectly justified in refusing
to listen to them ?—(Hear, hear.) And would the
Court, after having so vehemently defended their
e w
hear.) He hoped and
them,privi privileges
abandonand thatthe
position, privileges
oodf
foolishlythos hgoiyeeloecpteado
important a trust ?—(Hear,
believed that the constituency would take care to
mark those members who should violate their confi-
dence, and those who should hold up their hands for
the vote of thanks would never again have the oppor-
tunity of advocating in the same place any proposi-
tion of the kind.

Parliament in next Session, ter leave to bring in a Bill or Bills for

MURDER AND ROBBERY 0 F MR.
BELLCHAMBERS.
Yesterday having been the day appointe d for the
examination of James M‘Koy and Thom Is Doyle
for the atrocious murder and robbery of 1\ fr. John
Bellchambers, Westminster Police-court, lot ig before
the hour appointed, was completely besieged by per-
sons anxious to hear the proceedings, it beini r gene-
rally known that evidence of a very import snt cha-
racter not hitherto divulged would be given, and the
excitement being materially increased by the t ircum-
stance of Thomas Sale, the third person at !cused,
having been apprehended only that morning- An the
charge.
Mr. Wolff took his seat at the table, for th e prose-
cution ; and Mr. Binns and Mr. Sydney appeared for
the defence.
The proceedings commenced with the del -k (Mr.
W. Taylor) reading over the evidence which was
given on the 13th of October.
The first was that of the medical gentlenia n who
attended Mr. Bellchambers, and who descrihed the
state in which he found him on being called f.n.
William Meyers said—l live at the King's Head,
Orchard-street, Westminster. lam a carpente r. On
Monday morning, the 11th inst., about two t )'clock,
Mr. Bellchambers came into the King's Head. I was
serving behind the bar. Mr. Bellchambers can le and
offered Mr. Bees, who was in the bar with me, a
pinch of snuff, and he invited Mr. Bench= bers to
come behind the bar, as there were some bad oharac-
ters in the house. After Mr. Bellchambers went
behind the bar, the prisoner 111‘Koy and another one
asked me if I knew the old gentleman that went be-
hind the bar. I said " yes," and prisoner and his
companions both said that Mr. Bellchambers hid got
something in his hand they'd like to have. The other
one said he would not do anything to him (meaning
Mr. Bellchambers) whilst he was in the house, be-
cause it might injure the house. After that the
prisoner Mgioy and his companion had a drop of ale,
and there was another man came in with a coloured
shawl round his neck, decently dressed, and he called
for sixpennyworth of brandy and water, and I think
the prisoner Doyle partook of the brandy and water,
but I won't be sure. Prisoner Doyle then went out
with the man in the coloured handkerchief and another
man with them. They returned in about five minutes
afterwards, and then the prisoner M'Koy called
for a pot of sixpenny ale. It was then about three
minutes to four o'clock. There was a row in the
house. The prisoner Doyle struck a woman, and Mr.
Bees went to turn the female out. Mr. Bees had re-
fused admittance to the man with the coloured hand-
kerchief, but when he went to turn the woman out
he slipped in again, went into the bar and spoke to
Mr. Bellchambers. In consequence of what Mr.
Bellchambers said to me, I watched the proceedings
between Mr. Bellchambers and the man with the
coloured handkerchief on, and I went into the bar.
Mr. Bellchambers said to me, " I know this party.
I've lent him many a shilling, and have lent him one
now." Mr. Bellchambers and the man with the red
handkerchief on were together for about three-quarters
of an hour, and the man with the coloured handker-
chief asked Mr. Bellchambers to go home and have a
cup of tea with him. Mr. Bellchambers asked the
man which way he was going? The man said towards
Charing-cross, and Mr. Bellchambers said he was
going in an opposite direction. Mr. Bees shut up his
house at about a quarter-past four o'clock. He told
Mr. Bellchambers to wait till the other parties were
gone out, meaning the prisoners ; and Mr. Bees told
him to see that everything was right, and tuck in his
watch, and he had a glass of brandy and water before
he went out, and said he was all right. Mr. Bees bid
him good night. It was then about five o'clock, and
he left the house. He was then quite capable of taking
care of himself.

Mr. Henry Frederick Holt was again called, and
said, I knew Mr. Bellchambers for twenty-five years.
I saw him two or three days previous to the 11th of
October. He was well then. I continued to attend
him from the 11th, when called in, until the following
Sunday, when he died. Since his death I have made
a post mortem examination. The cause of death was
a fracture of the base of the skull. I think it must
hare been a blow. Such an instrument as the bolt
produced would have caused such a wound, if a blow
were given by it.

Cross-exam-ined—lt is possible that the deceased
falling in drunkenness upon a high kerb might cause
such a blow.
Re-examined—From a fall there would be gene-
rally some discolouration round the wound. There
was none in this case, but an incised wound.

Evidence was given to prove that Mr. Bellcham-
bers had been found weltering in his blood at a quar-
ter to six A.M. on the morning of the 11th in Wil-
ton-street, within a few yards of his own residence.
William Meyer re-called--Mr. Bellchambers was
sober when he came to our house at two in the
morning of the 11th ult. I saw a watch, money bag,
and silver snuff-box in his possession. Sale is the
person who asked me whether I knew the old gen-
tleman who was in the liar (Mr. Bellchambers). Mr.
Bellchambers was sufficiently sober when he left the
house to take care of himself. He walked away very
steadily. It is about three-quarters of a mile from
the King's Head to Wilton-street. It was about five
o'clock when Mr. Bellchambers left our house.

Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—Our taproom is
always open. Prisoners were not there, they were
in front of the bar. There were others present ;
there might have been twenty. The others seemed
to know the prisoners, they said " How d'ye do ?"
as I should to any one, but not to a stranger. It
was about three when Doyle came in the second
time. He appeared to me to be sober.
Henry Bees sworn—l am landlord of the King's
Head, Orchard-street. I knew Mr. Bellchambers.
He came to our house on the morning of the 11th
ult. He was sober. Sale and ➢l'Koy were standing
at the bar when he came in. There were at that

time only two or three others. Bellchamberswore
his watch, chain, and seals out of his pocket. He
offered me a pinch of snuff from his box, and took out
his money case. M‘lioy and Sale must have seen
these articles. Doyle was not there then, but came
in afterwards, and associated with the other prisoners.
I recommended Mr. Bellchambers on his leaving the
house, at a few minutes past five, to put in his chain
and seals, and button his coat so as to prevent their
being seen. I had a reason why Mr. Bellchambers
should not go out with the others. I found the man
with the plaid shawl had suddenly entered the bar,
and conversed with Mr. Bellchambers, and had then
afterwards joined Doyle and went out with him, and
I thought it would be better that Mr. Bellchambers
went out alone. I saw him walk 200 or 300 yards
from my house, and I observed that he walked as a
sober man would.

The witnesses Bolt, Rogers, and Scale were re-
called, and proved that when Mr. Bellehambers was
found he was without his hat, nor was it to be found.
Thomas Prongar, 74 B—On the morning of the
11th of October I was on duty near Orchard-street,
and at about four on that morning was standing at
the corner of Dacre-street, in Tothill-street. Hear-
ing a noise of shouting I went up New Tothill-street,
and saw Mr. Bees, of the King's Head, turning per-
sons out of the house. I saw all three of the pri-
soners turned out of the house. After a short in-
terval all was quiet, and I continued my walk round
my beat till I came to the corner of Cooper-street,
Orchard-street, the time being about five in the
morning. It was sufficiently light for me to see to
the corner of Pye-street, where I saw the three pri-
soners, all of whom I had known before, standing
together. The three prisoners all saw me, and went
towards Strutton-ground. I saw a gentleman leave
the King's Head at about five minutes past five ; that
was before I saw the prisoners standing together. I
saw the gentlemen walk steadily and properly as a
sober man. I saw the three prisoners follow the
gentleman, and I watched them
