writing the judgments he had purposed then to give—they were
judgments in " Noel v. Middleton," " Re Bedford Charity,"

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

(THIS DAY.)

The LORD MAYOR went at noon to Guildhall, in his private
carriage, attended only by his Sword-Bearer and the Town_
Crier, for the purpose of holding a Court of Common Council,
in consequence of a requisition transmitted to him, numerously
signed, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning
both Houses of Parliament, to abolish the system of colonial
slavery in the British dominions. _ .

Beyond this question, there was a number of motions to be
considered, and reports to be received, and this business took
the precedence, in consequence of their being but a few Alder.
men present. The Recorder was also absent; but whether
from illness, or from his having gone to the Palace to make
his report, we could not learn.
A Member complained against the sword-bearer, that the
summonses were not regularly served.

The Sword-bearer explained how the cause of complaint
arose ; and
The LORD MAYOR said that the like would not happen
again, as the offices were now permanently filled up.
