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 Ttirkey 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.
