COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday, a court was held for the despatch of pub-

is business.

There was a very large attendance of members.
PRESENTATION' OF TAE FREEDOM OF TIM OITT TO SIR

EDMUND LYONS.

Deputy DAMN moved :—" That the freedom of this
ancient City, in a gold hoz of the value of 100 guineas,
be presented to Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, in testi-
ineny of our adthiration of his distinguished services."
Having passed in review the services of Sir Edmund
from hie entering as a ruidehiprnan in the year 1807, to
the crown;ng operations befnre 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 he proposed that tke
gallant baronet should be associated with Lord St.
Vincent, Lord Nelson, Lord Collingwood, and other
distinguished men, who they knew 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 citizensot the
metropolis. (Cheers.) In proposing the resolution to
which he had referred, he paid a debt of gratitude to Sir
Edmund for services rendered, and added to the roll •f
their distinguished citizens a name of which they might
be justly proud. (Cheers.)
Alderman and Sheriff KENNEDY seconded the motion,
which was unanimously agreed to, amid much cheering.
