SWEARING IN OF THE CHAMBERLAIN.

Alderman BaowN appeared to be sworn as Cham-
berlain of the City of London.
Sir PETER LAURIE emphatically called upon the
Town Clerk to require the new Chamberlain to make
the declaration.

All the formalities were then gone through, and
Alderman BROWN rose to take leave of the Court.
He stated that twenty-three years ago he had been
made a member of that Court, and that he felt much
pain in bidding his brethren farewell. He had ri-
gidly scrutinized his public conduct, and he must say
that he had acted in his capacity of magistrate with-
out favour or affection, or prejudice, or malice; and
if anything had escaped him which was calculated
to inflict pain upon anybody, he was wholly uncon-
scious of it. He had prepared a letter to the Court
tendering his resignation, in accordance with his pro-
mise to those who had elected him, and he heartily,
wished that in all things the Guildhall motto of Do-
mine dirige nos, should be realised. Mr. Brown then
left the Court.

Mr. FIRTH, the chief clerk in the Town Clerk's-
office, read Mr. Brown's resignation of the gown of
Billingsgate -Ward.
The resignation was accepted, and upon the motion
of Sir PETER LAURIE, sec3nded by Alderman JOHN
Joan" a vote of thanks and congratulation to Mr.
Brown was unanimously agreed to; and the Lord
Mayor was requested to call a wardmote for the
election of an alderman for the ward of Billingsgate,
in the room of the new Chamberlain.

STATE OF THE PRISONS.

Mr. Sheriff MUSGROVE took the opportunity, at the
close of his shrievalty, to call the attention of the
Court to the state of the City prisons. He congra-
tulated the Court upon the fact that in the Borough
Compter there were no prisoners at all ; that in
Whitecross-street prison there were but 134 prisoners,
although the last report contained a list of 340; and
that in the goal of Newgate there was not a single
prisoner who was under the sentence of transporta-
tion.—(Hear, hear.) For much of theimprovement
which had thus taken place, the Court were indebted
to Sir James Graham,
Alderman Huairunßir gave notice that lie should,
at the next Court, move that it be referred to the
General Purposes Committee, to consider and report
whether any, and what measures, should be taken to
dispose of the Borough Compter, or to diminish the
expenses thereof. That prison had, by the new Act,
become wholly useless, for it had been used for un-
fortunate debtors who were confined for sums not re-
cognised by that law as amounts for which the person
was liable to be seized. The expense of keeping up
the establishment reached 1,0001. a year, and it would
have been much better to pay the debts of the few
persons who were generally inclosed within its walls
than to expend it in keeping up an establishment of
the kind.

Alderman FAREBROTHER said, the subject was one
of a serious nature, znd required much consideration.

THE LATE WILLS' FORGERIES.
Sir PETER. LAURIE brought up the report of the
Committee to which it was referred, to allow John
