CARROLL, MAYOR.
ACOMMON COUNCIL holden in the Chamber
of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday, the
19th day of November, 1846,
Resolved unanimously—That this Court, deeply sensible of the
general interests of the public, as well as of the particular prlitleges
of this Corporation, desires to mark the high opinion it entertains of
the excellent manner in which the Right Honourable John Johnson,
the late Lord Mayor, maintained the honour and dignity of this city,
and discharged the onerous and important duties of his elevated office
during the past year. That this Court has observed with the highest
satisfaction the direct and manly principle which invariably guided
his conduct, his indefatigable assiduity in business, his independent
vindication of the rights of the Corporation, the ready access he at all
times afforded to those who had a just claim upon his time and atten-
tion, his upright administration of justice, his enlarged and liberal
support of the charitable institutions of this city and of the metro-
polis, and his benevolence to all.

This Court also desires to express its approval of his splendid hos-
pitality, which embraced within its sphere the dignities of the Church,
the high functionaries of the law, the responsible advisers of the
Crown, without reference to political bias, the ministers of foreign
rations, and the representatives of the great mercantile interests, as
well of the ancient guilds and municipal institutions of this city, and
which was also extended to the various learned societies associated
for the promotion of the arts, sciences, and literature which mark the
present age.
_

And particularly this Court desires to express its grateful recollec-
tion of the manner in which the essential rights of the Corporation
were watched over and protected by the upright bearing, the cour-
teous demeanour, and the well-directed efforts of the late Lord Mayor;
and this Court cannot but express an earnest hope that the measures
so well commenced under his auspices may still receive his support
for the general benefit of the public, the maintenance and increase of
trade and commerce, and the prosperity of the City of London.

The other changes throughout the volume it must be unnecessary
—indeed, within the limits of an advertisement it would be impos-
sible—to detail, but they will be found to bring down all the intelli-
gence to a period as late as can be compatible with the appearance
of so gigantic a volume in sufficient time for its general circulation.
