COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business,
the business of the last Court having been broken up by the
sudden disappearance of one of the Aldermen.

DVELLING.

After the minutes of the last Court were read,
Mr. WIRE rose to give notice of a motion arising out of
circumstances which were become matter of notoriety in the
City of London. The motion would relate to the giving
and receiving of challenges. It was with regret he perceived
that a Magistrate, who was bound to protect the peace, had
so far forgotten what. was due to the laws which he was ex-
pected to administer properly, as to send an hostile message
to the Lord Mayor. There was but OHO opinion as to the
step which the Lord Mayor had taken upon the occasion,
and that was one of unqualifi6d approbation.—(Loud cries
of " Hear, hear 1") It was with considerable satisfaction
he had observed the moral courage exhibited by his Lord-
ship's conduct on the occasion, and he believed that every
rational man would join in the sentiment.—(Loud cheers.)
Without any reference to the matter which was pending in
another Court, Mr. Wire said he rose to give notice of a
motion,—" That this Court, reprobating the unchristian
practice of duelling, do agree to present an Address to his
Most Gracious Majesty, praying him to dismiss from his
service any person who shall send or accept a challenge to
fight a duel."
THE NAVIGATION AND PORT OF LONDOH.

The COURT proceeded to the consideration of a propo-
sition for printing a certain part of the evidence taken be-
fore the Committee of the Navigation and Port of London.
After some discussion on the necessity of possessing the
most extensive information on a question of so much im-
portance to the commercial interests, the motion WO
agreed to.

The COURT next proceeded to coii§idet the Report of
the Cciiiiitiittee of Coal and Corn, and Finance, tipoti
petitiOh from the Churchwardens and overseers of the
several parishes of St, Olive, Old Jewry, St. Stephen,
Coleman-gtreet, St, Sepulchre, in the Ward of Farringdon
Without, and All Hallows, Baiting, in the Ward of Tower,

In the Yetif 165 i, atid a further payment of 200/. by his
executors into the Chanibet iti the year 1646, and praying
that the covenants in the deed might be Strictly performed
on the part of the City ; and foi compensation to he made
to those parishes, to be divided amongst such Persons as
arc entitled to claim to purchase coatis under the willor
for ;
compensation to those parishes respect d 158 years,
during which period no coals had been delivered or for
further addition to be made to the 120 chaldrons ; or for
relief to the poor of those parishes in any other *EI; ae-
cording to the judgment of the Court. The Report
stated that the City Solicitor had been, after evidence
was heard, directed to prepare a case for Counsel, and
the Committee having taken the ease and the opinion of
I,2!itttsel into consideration, were of opinion that the Corm
--^,-ation would not justified in submittingi to the de-
_
mand made by the p-.titioners ; but 4%5 it ryas a
question in which the interests Qf the poor were MHz
cerned, they were of opinion (without admitting any liabi-
lity on the part of the Corporation), that an arrangement
should be made for supplying yearly to the poor of those
respective parishes 120 chaldrons of coals, to be sold at
the rate of sd. per bushel, in the proportions set forth,
and in the mode prescribed by the before-mentioned deed.
The Report was agreed to, and orders were given to
carry it into effect.

do petition the House of Commons to take into immediate
consideration the laws which regulate the registration of
voters at elections for Members of Parliament, with a view
to simplify and facilitate the mode of acquiring the elective
franchise."
