COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday, a court was held for the despatch of pub-
lie business.
There was a very large attendance of members.
PRESENTATION OF THE FEEEDOM OF THE CITY TO SIR
EDMUND -LYONS.
Deputy DAKIN moved r—" That the freedom of this
ancient City, in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas,
be presented to Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, in testi•
niony of, our admiration of his distinguished services."
Having passed_ n.tevituv..the services of Sir Edmund
from his entering as a midshipman in the year 1807, to
the crown:ng operations bebre Sebastopol, the speaker
observed that Sir-Edmund Lyons was the man to whom
they all pointed as having, played a most distin.
guished part in the operations of the war. He
(Mr. Dakin) would carry with him the approba-
tion -of that court when be proposed that tie
gallant baronet should he associated with Lord St.
-Vincent; Lord Nelson, Lord Collingwood, and other
distinguished men, who they know had in days gone
by been= proud to be enrolled among the citizens of
London. He gathered from Sir Edmund Lyon's
own address on a recent occasion that there was no-
thing more gratifying to the service of which he was so
distinguished an ornament than to have the good feel.
ing, the interest, and the sympathy of the citizens of the
metropolis. (Cheers.) In proposing the resolution to
which be had referred, he paid a debt of gratitude to Sir
Edmund for services rendered, and added to the roll of
their Oistinguished citize.ns a name of which they might
be justly proud. (Cheers.)
Alderman and 'tieriff KENNEDY seconded the motion,
which was unanimously agreed to, amid much cheering.
OFFICE OF COMMON SEEJEANT.
Mr. Russell Gurney was unanimously elected Common
Serjeant in the place of Mr. Bullock, who recently re-
signed that office.
Mr. GURNEY having expressed his acknowledgments
for the honour conferred upon him,
Mr. CAUSTON moved, " That the office of judge of the
Sheriffs' Court be declared vacant, and that it be referred
to the officers and clerks' committee to consider the
duties
emoluments of that race, and.that-Mr.-Res-
sail GririerbO'requested to preside in the Small Debts
Court until- his.successor shall be appointed."
The motion was carried unanimously.
After receiving several reports the court adjourned.
