ADDRESS TO TILE SULTAN.

- -
A proposition for the presentation of an address
to the Sultan, upon his approaching visit to this
country, was then discussed with closed doors, and
was eventually unanimously agreed to by the
court. An address was subsequently prepared by
the Recorder, the Remembrancer, and the mover
and seconder, which was submitted to the court and
approved of.

THE BELGIAN RIFLEMEN.
Mr. J. F. BONTEMS, addressing the chairman of
the Belgian Reception Committee, said that he
should be glad if he would inform him whether a
statement was correct that appeared in some of the
morning papers, that it was only intended to enter-
tain a portion of the Belgian riflemen at the Guild-
hall upon their arrival.
Deputy FRY said the only answer he could give
to the question was that the committee had made
arrangements to entertain every Belgian rifleman
who should march to the Guildhall on the 12th of
July. (llear, hear.)
The court adjourned after disposing of some other
business of no public interest.
