make a rough guess, and that amounted to no less a sum than
between 12,000/. and 13 0004 , exclusive of extras, such as cost of
laying thy• first stone, opening the bridge, and summer excur-
sions ( The Court here betrayed great impatience). Alder-
man Wilson then alluded to the expenses incurred in opening
the loyal Exchange, and finally contrasted the sum expended
by the Court of Aldermen in entertainments for the last twenty
years with those which swelled the hills of the Court of Com-
mon Council, to the amount of 89,600/. for that period. He
hoped the mover would withdraw his motion until the actual
expenses of the trip, which certainly would take place, should
be ascertained.

Alderman 'WOOD said, that in these days of reform it was
the duty of the court to look with jealousy to any expenses dis-
tinct from actual corporation purposes. The question before
the court was simply whether the journey to Oxford was ne-
cessary to be undertaken by the Lord Mayor as Conservator
of the Thames. It had been well said, that his Lordship
might as well go to Portsmouth as to Oxford for any purposes
connected with the office of Mayor.--( Hear, hear.) Hn de-
precated any personal allusions between the two courts, and he
should avoid the conflict which an indulgence in such allusions
was calculated to produce. He must, however, advert to en
historical fact, supported by the records of that court, in justifi-
cation of the argument, that the Court of Common Council
had interfered with the power of the Court of Aldermen in a
matter connected with a visit to the upper district.--f
He meant the refusal of the Court to grant the expenses,
Kennet, the Mayor, of 1,7801., for conservancy expenses and
the compromise which took place in consequence of that re-
fusal—( Hear, hear ) That was a precedent of the interference
of the Court of Common Council. Each party gave way a
little, and the Lord Mayor bowed with deference to the autho-
rity of the Court in which the opposition was made—(Hear,
hear. ) The present system, Alderman Wood contended, was
decidedly superior to that by which members were allotted
certain sums in money, for their attendance on Committees--
an intense fatigue—entertainments were substituted. There
existed no doubt as to the power of the Aldermen to command
all the expenses incurred in the performance of their duties--
(1-Tear, hear)—but the present was no time for demanding
more than our necessary claims. The Corporation of London
was no isolated corporation. It was known that it had a voice
all over the world; that on all great questions it gave a tone
which was caught up an 1 re-echoed by othei important
insti-
tutions. The Court should then be cautious how by en
unwise expenditure, at variance with the spirit of the times,
it provoked an interference which, it it came, would certainly
not be satisfied with effecting a superficial change—(Cheers.)
Mr. LAWRENCE spoke with great force in favour of the
motion. He said that if it were not for the discursive speech
of Alderman Wilson, he would not entertain a thought of
speaking. He had heard a great deal of complimentary
matter uttered towards the members of the Court of Aldermen,
and Alderman Wilson had spoken of the expenses incurred
by the two Courts, and of the hospitality of the Mayoralties. It
was not to be denied that the present Lord Mayer carried out
to perfection the principle of hospitality, unlike some of
his brethren, who made the Mansion-house a place of enter-
tainment for the members of their own families, and the people
wi' h whom they transacted business.—( Laughter, and cries of
" Rear, hear.") In the mayoralty of Alderman Wilson, in
which the sort of hospitality he described had been exercised,
the allowance had been larger than it had been since. It was
at that period about 8,0001.
Alderman WILSON—Yes; and add to that some 7,0001.
more, which I spent for the honour and reputation of the city.
Mr. LAWRENCE said the expense had been incurred in
treating strangers to the City, and individuals who were
source of advantage to the hospitable entertainer. The Alder-
man had spoken of the expenses of the committees. Why, it
was notorious that the Aldermen, who were, as it happened,
upon all the committees, attended more of the dinners than soy
of the ordinary members beyond all comparison.—( Hear, bear,
and laughter.) Upon one committee alone (the City Lands)
there were 12 Aldermen out of the 26, while there were only
30 commoners out of the 240; so that the Aldermen came in
for an incomparably larger share of the luxuries, while the
business of the Corporation might go to the devil for their
worships.—(Loud laughter.) It was notorious that the meta'
bers of the Court of Aldermen r ever attended to the duties
of the Corporation, but observed the most rigid punctuality at
the eating and drinking bouts, at which they powerfully sus-
tained the high reputation of their predecessors.--( Laughter.)
It was notorious, that when propositions were made in that
court for the reduction of the allowances, the persons who
most resolutely opposed all reduction were the Aldermen.--
( Hear, hear.) Those who performed the laborious business
from twelve or one o'clock till four or five, were willing to give
up, while nothing could prevail upon the Aldermen to resign.--
( Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Lawrence then, amidst the sr
plauses of the court, defended the chairman of the London'
bridge Approaches Committee from the charge of encouraging
an exorbitant expenditure, and drew a picture of that gentle-
man, and of his extraordinary and disinterested exertions for
the service of the City, which the whole court, by one burst of
approbation, acknowledged to be correct.
Alderman SIDNEY moved the previous question, in a speech
which our limits prevent us from giving.
Mr. LOTT seconded the amendment, which, after a few words
from Mr. Norris, and a reply from Mr. Anderton, was nega-
tived by an immense majority.
The original motion was then carried, only four hands having
been held up against it.
