BRIGHTON POLICE, SEPT. 27.

(From the Brighton Herald )
ARISTOCRACY AT BRIGHTON.—This being the
adjourned day for receiving the Jury Lists, the con-
stables and overseers of Brighton and i he surround-
ing parishes were in attendance.
Mr. Thomas Mills, of North-street, complained
that he was wrongly described in the List, by being
designated a grocer, whereas he was a merchant.—
He should like to be called by his proper name.
Mr. SEYMOUR—You keep a shop in North-street?
Mr. Mills—Yes.

Mr. SEYMOUR—You sell a great variety of ar-
ticles ? Mr. Mills—Yes; but I am a merchant,
and transact business the same as merchants in Lon-
don and other places; I wish the designation to be
altered to merchant.
Mr. SEYMOUR—.WeII, but you are a retailer, and
we won't call you a merchant. Mr. Mills—l con-
tend I have a right to be called so, for such I am
in reality.
Mr. SEYMOUR—But we have decided against you.
Mr. Cordy, the churchwarden, then rose, and,
addressing the Bench, said that he was described in
the list as a wine-dealer. He was a wine-mer•
chant, and seeing Mr. T. West, who was also a
wine-merchant, described as an esquire, he thought
rhat if he (Mr. C.) was to go from the highest to
the lowest grade, that, at any rate, there should be
no distinction.

Mr. SEY➢fOUR—The statute says that bankers
shall be described as such. If you had wished an
alteration in your designation you should have spoken
on Monday, as it is now too late, there was then na
opportunity to amend the list.
Mr. Cordy submitted that the designation of Mr.
West had been altered since Monday, and be
thought he had as much right to be called a wine'
merchant as Mr. West. He added, that there wee
other cases in which parties had been wrongly do'
scribed ; for instance, Mr. Robert Wigney was env
titled an esquire, when he was, in fact, a lodging"
house keeper.

Mr. SEVMOUR replied, that most of the esquires
in Brighton havinghouses which they let, would
probably come under that denomination.
Mr. Frederick Walter Mott next presented ilia'
self, and complained that he had not been des"
mated an esquire, but a lodging-house-keeper, 1°
felt that he had as much right to be called an esquire
as the gentleman before alluded to,
The Bench consoled Mr. M. by directing the
" lodging-house-keeper " to be erased, and
an
" esquire" to be added in lieu thereof.
Mr. Thomas Mills again addressed the Bench'
He did not, he said, attend at all to the business in
North-street.

Mr. SEYMOUR—But you have a property in it.
Mr. Mills—l believe all merchants have shopgli.
All'. SEYMOUR—No. I never hear 4 of
Baring selling a pound of so4p,—(l-11.aughter.) 0
