CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION IN

QUIRY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Commissioners met, pursuant to adjournment, a

11 o'clock this morning.
Mr. Deputy Wool) returned lists of the ward clerks,
and of 12 sergeants at-mace who execute, and 5 who do
not execute, process ; and of 122 deputy corn-meters.
Pr. Deputy Wood also corrected a mistake he had made
as to the number of Sheriffs' yeomen, which he had stated
to be 16 ; be bad, however, since found there were four
more, who, however, were not in attendance of the
Sheriffs.
Mr. Commissioner DRINKWATER asked if the witness
had ascertaked whether the process of the Lord Mayor's
Court could be executed within the liberties of London ?
Mr. Deputy Woon replied he had been informed by an
officer of the Court that the process could be executed in
such of the liberties as were within the City walls. With
respect to an inquiry made yesterday, as to whether an
instance had occurred of the Court of Aldermen having ever
fined one of their body for refusine, when elected, to serve,
the office of Lord Mayor, Mr. Wood said that he had
found such an instance had occurred in the year 1797,
when the then Alderman of the Ward of Portsoken, Mr.
Benjamin Haunnett, was duly elected Lord Mayor, and,
on refusing to serve, was fined 1,0001., which was en-
forced ; and to prevent a repetition of that fine, Mr.
Hammett resigned his aldermanic gown in the following
year, and was succeeded by Sir James Shaw.
The Commissioners then proceeded to examine Mr.
Deputy Wood as to the qualification for, an:: mode of elec-
tion to the office of Common Counci:inan, a subject too
well known to the metropolit:in public, to need any
description on the present occasion.
Dlr. Wood was proceeding with his examination under
this head, when our reporter left.
