. As soon as the applause which the state of the Poll had ex- -
cited was in some degree subsided,
Alderman GARRATT addressed the Livery: He said, he •
probably should not have thought it netessay to address them
at that time wereit not for a mis-statement of whet he had said
respecting Mr. Hayward, having gone abroadit was stated
that he had said, that Mr. Hayward had asserted a falsehood-,
in stating that he (Alderman Garratt) had become a member of
the Constitutional Association after he had become_an
man ;• he did not mean to say so—what he. had said was, that
Mr. Hayward might be.a very respectable man, that he knew
nothing to the contrary, and that he had become a member -
of the .Constitutional Association ; but on refiktion, considering
it incompatible with his duties as an .Alciermaa, he had.
drawn from it. -Mr. Hayward, however, instead of asking for
an explanation on the Hustings, which, iflie thought himself
injured, would be a proper course of proceeding, had that morn
ing sent a Gentleman to him, to complain of thii supposed in-
jury, and to request that he (Alderman Garratt) woultLnanre
his friend ! Ile thanked the Livery for the. situation in which
they had placed him on _the poll. He had nromised-thein that-
he would not solicit votes, and he had kept his word.
Alderman VEIVABLES next addressed -the-Livery; he thanked
them for the situation in which they had placed him on 11:t poll, 1
without any solicitatiOn on his past...;

for Mr. Hayward to address the Jury.

cation that had been made to him.

drowned in.cries of " No, no." • •
