At the preliminary meeting of the sub coma'
Mr. R. L. JONES said that although he lied twin co's.
rectly reported in the press as having earnestly cues,
tended for the right of the Court to insist upon the ,q/d at

fires
opposed to the Court of Aldermen On all the Meas;re
which had been spoken of as likely to come under dig'
cession. He desired to be understood as having o'coe
himself to the one point, and he expressed an es'aod
wish that a conciliatory course w ould be adopted,
that all inclination to discussion would be dropped. t of
The Sub-committee then heard the several repent

From the nature of the contest that hzd arisen, snf the
circumstances which gave rise to it, the motives the

That Committee was not unconstitutional in their.„v esd
as one of the members of the Court of Alderat'o
proved himself to be, who had proposed that the

hut should do without that bedy altogether the

wht n proved, put by the Lord Mayor: Th'e 004,,e0
culty they apprehended was one which the
meeting would be likely to obviate. In a rpi'lier
assembly unity of action was necessary for the It; It°
tion of a common object. Now, it was prnhavhiltbe
members, knowing, or believing they kneveiw„"," islo
objects of the aldermen were, would seek to bru;tber
discussion what they believed to be those objects' melte
than tke immediate question ; . and the eeTeers/
wished particularly that he should earnestly the
,upon the members, that the only point he'eti—re the
Court, but which involved all others, was wilt-ate
Lord Mayor could suppress all discussion by refs
alone'
put a lawful question. That question, and that -ore
the Committee strongly urged the members to svei
to. If that rower were once conceded to the seer
Mayor, there was an end to the power of the rePrebetter•
tive body, and the sooner they left the Court the d
for they would be dependent upon the opinions:l:oh

useless to contiuue members of the Court. TbeY The
be merely a registering body for the Aldernrreeist°
committee felt it was most important not to into° fete
the discussions any of the other questions that, cef'
coming before the Court. If these other questieroote
fered, members might have different views, en

ought to be concluded on these subjects until tbe 6",iOP
themselves came regularly before them for disejlojr
If the right contended for by the Lord Mayer" "are

were submitted, he for one would unite with t 15,0 sr
support him out of doors. Parliament must-be Atmotl9l
plied to, but in that respect he spoke as an in,e"e•eirire
and not as the organ of the sub committee. fler
the
commendation was to confine themselves a. -.reser,.
court to one, and only one question, and or tot/
unity of purpose in the assertion of their rigl
masters of their own proceedings, and to bale
questions put to the Court.—(Loud cheers.) rnitteej
Mr. Low (chairman of the City Lands Liw",seelr
