FAFEDOU OF THE CITY-ABOLITION OF THE TAX

Alderman HALE brought up a report from the London
Corporation Bill Commit-zee, 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 admitted 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 opinion
that the Court would act wisely in at once tadertaki, g
the payment of the 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 thought
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. (dear, hear.)
Mr. ANDERTON said he never expected to have seen

the time when the freedom of tho City of London was
not worth the paper upon which it was written. Ile
agreed with the report only to a certain extent.
Deputy Sofa strongly recommended the Court to
be unanimous in receiving the report, which be Con-
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 hicaself strongly in favour

efficient Remedies for Scorbutic Affection i.—Mr. Forster
Ker, druggist, of Manchester, states, in a letter to Pro-
