CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION
INQUIRY.-(THIS DAY.)

At the sitting of the Commissioners this morning,

Mr. Newman, the City solicitor, was examined as to the
duties of his office. He said his duty was to assist the
Comptroller and Remembrancer in their Parliamentary
duties, as well as in all conveyancing business connected
with the city. He had a general order from the Court
of Aldermen to prosecute all tradesmen who carried
on business in the city, that had not taken up their freedom
for the fines to which they had made themselves liable. He
brought and defended all actions for the Corporation ;
and, in cases where poor freemen were oppressed,
the Court of Aldermen and Court of Common Council directed
him to take all the necessary steps for his protection. He had
no fixed salary, but was paid by law costs, which usually
amounted to from 1,5001. to °,OOOl, but when he
had paid all the necessary expenses of the office
his profits did not exceed a third of that sum. He was so
much engaged by City business, that he was not able to take
any other professional business.
Some additions were then made to the evidence given
on a former day relative to the duties of Common Sergeant.
He bore the same relation to the Court of Common Council as
the Recorder did to the Court of Aldermen. His salary
was 1,0004 per annum, and lie also received briefs in all
cases in which the City is a party, with which he receives
fees. It was not usual for him to sit at the Old Bailey,
except through courtesy and out of compliment to the Re-
corder. Now it was part of the duty of the office. If a free-
man had obtained his freedom in a surreptitious manner,
it was his duty to file an information against him in
the ➢layor's Court where the case is tried before the Re-
corder and a Jury of the City. That was the only mode in
which a freeman could be disfranchised in London.

Mr. Tyrrell, the City Remembrancer, was then called, and
was proceeding to detail his duties when our reporter left.

VICE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.

His HONOR the Vice-Chancellor did not take his seat in his
Court at Westminster to.day ' till half.past one, having to
breakfast with the Lord Chief Justice, at Lincoln's inn, in the
absence of the Lord Chancellor, this being the first day of
Hilary Term.

His HONOUR, on taking his seat, proceeded to give judg-
ment in Holdham v. Stoner, refusing the receiver, and giving
the defendants the costs of the motion; in Porter v. Fox, con.
curring with the course adopted by the Master; and in Nicholls
v. Rowe, overruling the demurrer.
