PHEEDO3/ OF THE CITY—ABOLITION OF THE TAX.
Alderman HALE brought up a report from the London
Corporation Bill Committee, and moved that it be
adopted. The report recommended that upon applica-
tion to the Chamberlain's Office, on certain days and
hours, all persons entitled will be admitu I to the free-
dom of this city by redemption, without the payment
of any fee.
Deputy HALE said that the subjects treated of in the
report had met with the most serious attention on the
part of the committee, who were unanimously of opinio❑
that the Court would act wisely in at ore° undertakkg
the payment of tho five-shilling fee. If that course were
to be adopted, a committee might be able to make an
arrangement with the Chancellor of the Exchequer with
respect to future proceedings. The committee thougtt
that the freedom of the City should be obtained for
that class of persons who contributed towards its
rates, and whose names were upon the Parliamentary
Register, and who would only have to go to the Cham-
berlain's office and enrol their names. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ANDERTON said he never expected to have seen
the time when the freedom of the City of London was
not worth the paper upon which it was written. He
agreed with the report only to a certain extent.
Deputy 'HOLT strongly recommended the Court to
be unanimous in receiving the report, which be cell-
ceived to be the first step in the ladder of reform.
Mr. ROWE said he considered the present proceed-
ing a step in the right direction.
Deputy BOWER expressed himself strongly in favour
of the motion, which was put, and carried unanimously.
Deputy DAKrN moved—" That the Chamberlain be
directed to admit to the freedom of the City without
further order from this Court, all persons making ap-
plication for that purpose whose names are on the
Parliamentary Register for the City of London, in con-
formity with the report of the Corporation Bill Com-
mittee, and the order of the Court thereon."
After a few observations from Mr. BLAKE and Mr.
PERKINS, the former supporting, and the latter op-
posing the motion, it was put and carried.
