ORME AND onatv.

This was a suite for restitution of conjugal rights, promoted
by Margaret, thtr wife of Robert Urine, Esq., of this city,
against her husband.
• Dr-LusnixoToN stated the substance of the which,
after reciting that the parties had been married for a great many
years, had had eight children; and had resided during a • Consi-
derable period in the East Indies, from whence Mrs. Orme
returned to England u little time betbre her husband, charged,
that that gentleman had, for some' time piiSt, denied her all
access to Imbed, assigned her a diStant part of his house for her
residence, and scarcely allowed her the common necessaries of
life. •
- Dr. ARNOLD and Dr. Alums opposed the libel ; and con-
tended that as no cruelty or adultery were•charged against Mr.
Orme, uo .there was no foundation for a suit of restitution of
conjugal rights. -In " Forsterimd Forster," the Court's Noble
and Learned Predecessor had-decided thin he couldsnot Compel
the husband .to perform his duty •to iris • wife, as regarded
the conditions upon which their, Intercourse Withleach other
miglit be regulated. Szo neither could the Court hope to'do so
•in this instance. The gist orall suits of this.kin&was; 'the re-
moval ofJhe one party from the home of. the other; but the
Court could not attempt to compel marital communication ah-
strictedly from cohabitation.
.. Dr. livottiNutoist 'replied ,; nn&
The Cotittr, upon the review' of the case, dismissed and
•
rejectad the libel.

COMMON COUNCIL;

Yesterday a Court of Common Counetf-was
held for general purposes.
The LOUD MAYOR, on taking the Chair forthe!first
assured the Court of the high 'sense he entertained of the, honour
they,,had done him, and expressed his confidence that in the
,full .and impartial diitharge of his duty, he should -always re.
ceive`their support and efficient co-operation. Candour and
mutual courtesy would, he had no doubt, on all occasions cha-
racterize their deliberations. 'Mrs Lordship-also- pointed out
the prophety. of attending to several essential but subordinate
regulations, in furtherance of the business of the Corporation,
particularly respecting the tolls and arrangements of their
cattle-markets. _ _

The ipinutes of the last-court were then read, and some
routine business disposed of.

VOTE OW THANKS TO TILE LATE LORD MAYOR.
Mr.- Deputy REEVES rose to propose the thanks of that
Court td their late Lord Mayor. In discharging this duty, he
was perfectly aware that the services of Lord Mayor Waithman
• were so universally admitted, that it was unnecessary for him,
in proposing a vote of thanks to such a man, to recapitulate
claims Which there were none to doubt. They were already
recorded in the votes of thanks of: the other branches of the
Corporlttion ; and more artieularly in the eulogium pronounced '
upon them by the Lor .Chief Benin, on a lateoceasion, in the
ch
Court of Exequer. - he. great ability of their late worthy
i.
Chief- Magistrate had been .so universally attested, that it was
therefore unnecessary for. ,him to enlarge upon the topic.
,Though an old Member of'the COmmon Council, he was still
diffident in addressing that Court: he should therefore conclude
with prOposing a vote of thanks to their late worthy Chief•Ma-
gistrata. .
Mr. Deputy VALE, In seconding this
.motion, ex,preteiethls
confidence that the same unanimity would characteritelPlefr
vote of, thanks to the late Lord Mayor in. that court_whielt
marked the recepilo'riza a similar motion in. the Court of Al.'
.derniela as well as'in -the. Common Hall. He kne*, indeed,'
that;ufmi it tinge could be hid one opinion, from the-nature of
the eminent sereirea that had called it forth.—(Heart)
• Mi.) FavEl.t. concurred in the opinion, that it wartititine.,
ceasifi to enumerate claims which all had allowed ; •but lie had
, a personal feeling to indulge, when he touched upon the services
of 'his.worthy friend.; . and he claimed their patience while he,'
for one moment, expressed the gratification he felt at, the manner
in which his excellent friend had discharged the duties of the
high office he had so lately filled. His worthy friend had well
earned, by his past services, the first honours of their higkeor-
poratinn. At various periods it had been the custom of some
of their wealthiest city merchants, who resided without their
They
to affect to slight the possession of their civic honours.
They had now, however, the example of the dignified manner
in which all the eminent duties of the office of their mayoralty
could be performed, so as to acquire the praises of all men, by
a gentleman, taken by his fellow.citizens from the class of their
tratleamen— (hear, hear I)—a gentleman who had long been de-
servedly dear to his fellow-citizens,' and who had now retired
from their highest civic office with universal applause, and with
the consciousness that he had well-earned and deserved it by his
'honourable and independent principles.—(Hear, heat!)
Mr. JAMES begged to add his concurence to that of the im-
mediate friends of their late worthy chief Magistrate, in the
present vote. He wax aware of the difficulty of passing through
high office without committing some error; but they ought not
to look with too scrutinizing and microscopic an eye, at the er-
rors inseparable from an active discharge of duty; they ought
rather to concur in the general praiie which was due to the per-
' forinance of office in'the manner in which it had been perform-
. ed by their late chief Magistrate.—(llear 1)
Mr. BUTTEIIWORTII, jun., concurred in the praise which
had heen so justly paid to their late worthy diet*: Magiatrate,
for the discharge of his Magisterial 11010.
111 r. SAMUEL DIXON did' not mean to disturb the unani-
niity which appealed to pervade the Court on the present oc-
casion. He was one of those .wlio.certainly thought that when
the late Lord Mayor had entered upon office,' he rather' show.
,ed a wish to mount upon the high horse-' nevertheless,, he was
willing to admit, that he had discharged his Magisterial duties
with greitt teal and attention, and lie was therefore ready to
offer him a unanimous vote, which he knew would be much
more valuable than if it was merely drawn uo,with the simple
word " resolved." ;'however, there was one 'exOresidon in
the: address which be wished to have Softened •ilowu—it was
that which, said; that the conduct of the late Lord Mayor in the
disiharge of his duties, had " never been surpassed by any
predecessor."
Air. Alderman and Sheriff IlnowNx thought thCre could not
be the slightest objection to the vote in themanner in *Mat it was
now drawn-up.—(Hear I)—He must say, that-that man would
have reason to congratulate himself , who could pass through
Officeiri 'the manner their late worthy Chief Magistrate had
done. He had not the least hesitation in saying, that the Ma:
material conduct of the bite Lord Mayor hail nail& 'been our-
pa4sed on any former occasion ; and proud he should himself
be, if he could discharge the same duties in any thing like the
manner in which they had been discharged-by the late Lord
Mayor.—(Applause.)
The resolution of thanks was then unanimonslyiktied.
