COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council (special) was held
yesterday at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor
presided.

THE APPROACHING VISITS OF ROYALTY TO ENGLAND.

The LORD MAYOR said he had a communication
to make to the Court, which he thought had better
take place with closed doors, and strangers were,
consequently, requested to retire.
The court was cleared for nearly an hour, but it
was understood that the question that was discussed
was with reference to the steps to be taken for the
invitation of his Highness the Sultan of Turkey to
visit the Corporation. Eventually a resolution was
stated to have been agreed to that a special ward
committee should be appointed to take the necessary
steps to invite the Sultan to an entertainment at
Guildhall, upon the occasion of his approaching
visit to this country.

THE OFFICERS OF THE SHERIFFS' COURT.

Mr. T. J. NELSON (the City Solicitor) reported
that on the previous day he had received a notice
from the Court of Queen's Bench, requiring him to
show cause why he exercised the office of chief clerk
or registrar of the Sheriffs' Court, and that Mr.
Brown had received a similar notice with regard to
his exercising the duties of high bailiff.
Mr. FOWLER, the chairman of the officers and
Clerks Committee, in moving that the City Solicitor
be empowered to take the necessary steps in the
matter, and to enforce the decision of the Corpora-
tion of dismissing the late register and high bailiff
of the Sheriffs' Court, took occasion to complain of
various incorrect statements that had been made in
support of the application for a quo warranto.
Mr. Cox remindei the Court that these state-
ments were ex parte, and that there would be an
ample opportunity for putting the Court of Queen's
Bench in possession of the real facts when the rule
came to be argued. With regard to the right of
the corporation to dismiss these officers, he said that
they were originally only appointed for twelve
nunths, and they came up every year for re-elec-
tion, and by the mere fact of their not having been
re-elcct,d at the expiration of the last year their
offices of course became vacant.

The matter was then referred to the Officers and
Clerks Committee for them to take what steps they
might consider necessary with reference to it.
