KENT, The voluntary Examination and Confession
Co:ltie PORTS of John flomesby, bricklayer's labourer—
to wit. taken by and before us, the undersigned
Justices, of and for the said Cinque forts—

" Who requests that the Letter before us shall
be opened and read ; it is addressed to Mr. Deb.
nam, No. 5, Dean-street, Soho, London ; its
purport is a confession of the murder of his wife,
in consequence of having, on Tuesday evening
week, about the dusk of the evening, caught her
in the act of adultery, in a cow hovel, opposite
her father's house at Chipton—the examinant km.
companied his wife home to her father's house;
Le was gone on his watch, when they got home 3,
he, the prisoner, then told the housekeeper, whose
name is Sorry, of the adultery of his wife; and
almost directly after, his wife and him bad alter-
cation about going to bed together ; and he, hay.,.
ing struck her slightly with his open band, she
threatened if he did not come to bed to her, she
would get up and go to or with those she bail
I I
left ; and, as he had struck her, she would swear
her life against him, and he should lay in gaol aud
rot ; and site 'would go and live with the other
man, whom she loved. After this, he walked ottt,
and in the room, two or three times ; and she de-
clared, on his hesitating to come to bed to
her, with violent oaths, that site would be
the death of one or the other of them. He
then went for atS axe that lay in the adjoining
room, close by her father's chest ; and, with it in
his hand, he challenged her to say so again. She
said, rather than suffer the usage she had, site
would be the death of one or the other. At this
instant, he struck her upon the head with the back
of the axe, slightly. Site was then sitting on the
bed, partly undressed, having prviously seemed to
attempt to dress herself again. When site said
she would go to the oilier ruin, after the first blow
Was struck, he leol just time to bear her say,
" Oh I you know," and a second blow with the
back of the axe, immediately tollowed, lie does
not know whether lie struck her more or not.—
She seemed to swoon on the right side, and bled
so as to be beard by him. lie then took her by
the left aim, and pulling her to the left side of the
bed, kissed her, saying, " my dear, you was once
my comfort, for a little time ; and now I ant the
death of you, and you of toe." She was theta
alive ; and was so when be left the room, end
went to her father's chest and took a pound note
out of it and escaped—having threatened to the
children and the woman (the housekeeper), ha
would be the death of them, if they made any
noise ; as he must have money, for a time, in
order to repent, before he went away ; and; after
leaving his wife bleeding, be put down the name
of the man his wife had been connected with, and
left it with the housekeeper. He came to
wich, about nine or test o'clock the next morning,
and was at Canterbury last Sunday—was at Dover
yesterday—and has wandered about at different
places, without any particular intention, till he
came.to Walmer. He bought the jacket be has
on at Woolwich, leaving a broWn cloth coat ee,
and a pair of fustian trowsers there ; having also
bought the striped trowsers he now wears, at
Woolwich. Ile wishes to add, that on his wife's
making an excuse that she had been dragged into
the cow-house by great force, by the man he found
her with, be, the prisoner, offered, if she would
swear the rape against him, she should he for-
given ; but she refused, in coarse language, s.iying,
' She loved his little finger better than tier
husband's whole body.'

The 'Lord A.lnver lfelcl n Court of Aldermen

yesterday, for the purpoie of receiving the repot t
of the Sheriffs of the Aldermen nominated to
-serve the ofticemfLorl Mayor for the rear ensit•
ing, at which were -present—Sir Curtis,
Eaater, Sir James Shf4W, Sir WiNam
Leighton, Sir Chories.Flower, Alderman 305111.13
U. Smith, 'George Seholey, Samuel Birch, Sir
Matthew li:oxham. Christopher Magnay, Ge,rge
Bridges, William 1-11q4:Hte, Robert A Cox, John
Thomas Thorp, Robert Waithman, and Mr. AI-
•--derman and Sheriff nothwell.

The Sheriffs, attended by the 'Common Ser-
j.•ant, presented the names of Mr. Alderman
Bridges and Mr. Alderman Thorp, as the two
Verson,. nott►inated by, the- Livery for the choice of
that Court, to serve the office of Lord Mayor for
the year ensiling ; ‘vherenicon the Court elected
Mr. Alderman Brid4es, and I►roccetlett tt, the
Gni!dhall, to make known the same to the Livery
in Common 1-1411.

The Lord Mayor, on his return to the Court
of Aldermen, Wis attended by all the memb,rs
ahnvc-named, with the exception of Sir J. Shaw,.
who left the Court on the di,solution'of the Cont-'
mon Hall.

• There being no other -business upon the sum-
mons but tLe'election ot a ',old :nayor, some Of
the Aldermen who lvere not in' the secret, were
preparing t) &part, when the Lord Mayor said
he had some business of important;e to lay helore
the •Court. The members accordingly took their
seats.

MOT IN GrILDIIALL ON Tt ELECTION OF LORD
MAYOR.

The LORD MAYOR then said, the business to
wbich he had to call the -attention of the Court
was of the mos, serious and important nature,—
The Common Serjeant had reported to him, that
the proceedings in the Comoro!) Hail, on Nlichael-
mas -day, for the election of a Lord Mayor, hail
been obstructed by noise and tumult ; ihaf not-
withstandlog the e..3ommon Serjeant had warned
the Livcry there assembled, that they most pro-
ceed to the election, they had refused so to do ;
that great tumult had taken place, and instead of
proceeding to the election, as. they were hound to
do, certain individuals insisted upon mowing se-
veral liesolnticos, which were so moved and
passed before the election was proceeded upon.—
These proceedings he considered so extraordinary
and improper, that he had felt it his duty to lay a
statement of the same before the Court, in order
that they might adopt such measures thereon as
they might think necessary.
Sir Wm. CURTIS said, he was not present at the
Common 1-Tall upon the occasion mentioned ; he
bail, however, read some account of the proceed-
ings which had taken place on that day, and
thought them highly "iroproper ; he• therefore re-
quested that the Sheriffs would state to the Court
what had actually taken place.
Mr. Sheriff PARR INS was called in accordingly,
and on the request being formally made by the
Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff ROTHSVELL said, that
fire proceedings of that day had been so extraor-
dinary, and so unexpected on his part, that he
b,id, for the purpose of refreshing his memory,
written a statement of what had occurred. He
then proceeded to read a long written statement,
in which the mevting was described as exceeding-
ly noisy and tumultuous ; that Mr. "l'hor»psOn and
Mr. Fearon came forward to•mOve certain resdlu-
lions ; that on ,his objecting to such d 'protert-
log, and insisting that time Livery must go to the
election, Mr. Alderman Waithman Caine for want
to support them, and said, ".No, no."
endeavours to proceed to the election- were inef
fectual ; and notwithstanding he protested against
it, certain resolutions were moved, and carried,
previously to proceeding on the election of a Lord
Alayor.
Mr. Sheriff PARKINS said, lie thought it most
extraordinary that he should be thus called upon,
without any previous notice whatever, to enter
into a long detail of the circumstances which bad
taken plate ; he.did not know who the Common
Serjeant was ; he had gone to the Hall without
having taken any legal advice, and did not expect
to be called upon to account for,his conduct when
be was wholly unprepared ; he allowed there was
a great deal of noise ansl pi ensure ; lie felt he
had done his duty ; he thought the Livery
bad the right to discuss their grievances when
legally assembled in Common Hall. lie re-
peated, he was wholly unprepared and taken by
surprise ; but he was able and willing to justify
every part of his conduct, and would,' if they
thought fit, draw out his statement of what had
occurred.

Sir WILLIAM CURTIS then requested that the
Common-Sedeant should be desired to state to
the Court his account of what took place.
Mr. COMMON-SERPEANT, thus called upon, en-
.tcred into a long statement of the occurrences
which took place, and which differed in 'lolling
material from that of the worthy Sheriftßothwell,
before alluded to. On his stating that he had
warnad the Sheriffs that they ought and must pro-
ceed to the election,. lie was replied to somewhat
Hastily by Mr. Sheriff Parkins, who declared that
he had received no such warning ; he would, how-
ever, prepare a statement of they latts as they ap-
peared to him.
The presence of Mr. Sheriff Parkins being no
longer required, he was here desired to withdraw,
which he did accordiugly.

The RecottnEx and COMMON SeRnANT Were
then called upon for their opinions upon the cir-
cumstances, as related to-the Court.
Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN rose to order. He
objected to the law-officers being called upon to
give any opinion until the facts were fairly before
the Court. His Lordship had tailed the Court,
after pil,vious consultation rvith.the • law-officers,
and had charged him and one of the Sheriffs, and
other individuals, with hav;ng conducted them-'
_selves illegally and improperly ; he had come to.
the meeting with a long and studiously prepared
st'atement ; Mr. Sheriff Rothwell was also pre-
pared with his statement ; and all this without the
feast previottis•notice to the parties accused, or to.
the members of the Court, except those who bad
been secretly apprised.. Tie Common- Serjeant,

be asscrted,had -exceeded his duty; he wis the

mere montliplece of the Sberiff,l, ant! !tact eia 7111-
thority to'pot anyiltrestimi evithotWth6r`dieectini.
The Loan MAyoekerec,alledflie worth.y.Alder-
i man rn order, whoaeccordingly sat-,down;..atid hi•
L,,,,a,hipthen desired the Common SA:tit:ant to
state his opinion. • .
The CommoN SEHJEANT, after some -preface,
stated it as his opinion, that the Common 'Hall
was called for the express ,purpose of electing a
Lord Mayor, and that they had no right 'to pro-
ceed um, any other business whatever.; that to
obstruct the election, or to go into other mat-
' tern, was an offeuce at common law, and
.8150
again,t the statute authorizing elections by the
Common Hall ; that the Livery .were bound by
their oath to proceed on the Election ; and that if
the sauce could he atijouyned or delayed two hoUrs,
' it might be delayed till 12 o'clock at night. He
considered, therefore, that the Livery bad no
power or right to adjourn the proceedings while
they were discussing other matters, but must go at
once to the Election.
. . Mr. Recoanen coneurred in opinion with the
Learned Serjeaot, and delivered himself to the
same effect. It was quite clear. he said, that-the
Livery cotil',' proceed to on ottir business, and
quoted the case of Mr. Aldernian Nowise, as corn-
elusive that they had no right itecommon-liall,lo
proceed on airy business but the EleCiion" for the
'lmpose of which ihey•were called together.
Sir Wm. CUNT'S then saint, that as be way not
present, he knew nothing of the procecilings at
the Common-hall ; but from all he bad previously
Gard aml read, and from statements that day
11171je to the Court, he was Convinced that great
riot and tumult had taken place ; the conduct pur-
sued there was most irritating and insulting;
what, he would ask, toth! he more insulting than
attacking the character of a. respectable officer by
-the opprobribus epithet of " Little Jefi" He
thought the refusal to proceed, and the obstruc-
t lion offered to the election, a gross outrage and
highly nuconstitutional: the Court ought to sup.
port its own dignity, and prosecute the of-
fenders. The worthy Baronet then pulled out of his
pocket a paper, which he read as a motion ; the
substance of which was, that the whole business
be referred to a Committee of Aldermen, with in-
structions to prosecute the offenders, and (9 re-
port their proceedings from time to time to the
Court of Aldermen.
. Mr. Alderman Cox rose to second the motion
of the worthy Baronet, but thought the
,Court
ought first to inquire how they proceedings on
former occasions had got before the public. The
worthy Alderman -was proceeding,' in his very
best manner, ro animadvert upon this daring vio- •
lation of privilege, when he was interrupted by
the Lord Mayor, who said that business was not
now before the Court : the Alderman then sat
down, contenting himself with secondiug the t

motion.
Mr: Alderman WAITIIMAN ntlw rose, and in a
speech of upwards of an hour vongly contended
against the impropriety of agreeing to such a
proposition. tie said the present was in his
judgment the most extraordinary proceeding iie
had ever witnessed in that Court. There was a
charge already brought forward by' the Lord
Mayor against him, which was still undecided
upon, and had been hanging over his head for
Several weeks, and 'which that Court had not as
yet' ventured to go iota. 'And although they
had not yet disposed of a question' *bleb .wai
said to be an attack on the privileges 'of•the Court;
and derogatory to the dignity of the• Chief
gistte;'they' again erected themselves' into a
Sort'of Star Chaibber to discnss and decide upon'the
rights anther bpdies. There never was kbasinOti
brought forward in 'any Court, in which there
Was so ncirch art, trickery, and unfairness, as the
present here''wes a Motion to instruct the law
officers to institute Frocerdings against individuals
who had not the, slightest intimation of such
tent ion, without any inquiry or.eiaminatiOn into
the facts, upon the
_mere ex-parte statements of
the Common Serjeant and one of the
.Sheriffi,
without even a tittle of evidence.. lie, who was
one of the party accused, was charged befor'e
private Court, where much political prejudice ex
.fisted, and where 22 out of 26 members were 'de-
cidedly hostile to his opinions. By singular
.ae-
cident (for trickery as well as murder would' out),
he had learned that the Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
Common Serjeant, and other o.fiicers,lidd been eon-
suPing together, searching records,exatukting pre-
cedents, and preparing, the • whole 'machinery Of
this charge.; and that he was to be taken by. sur-
prise, and left without defence, as far as related to

their intentions. Even the Court itself was left
without any notice, except such as had been Corn-
municated privately. I.lc, however, alwayrs felt
his courage increased with the difficnities he liad
to contend with, and was not afraid to meet them
there ; or if they chose, in the present irritated
state of public feeling, to cuter into a warfare ivith
the rights of their fellow citizens, he was not to

be dismayed, but would be proud to be the object
selected to defend them. However highly he
might think of the Recorder and Cotnmon Serjeant
as lawyers, they must excuse him fur not thinking
them extraordinarily gifted with a knowledge of
constitutional law, espeCially when he found so
many precedents, so many great.opinions opposed
to theirs. He then proceeded,to vindicate tlie rights
and powers of the Common Hall, as the great cor-

porate botly,attd instancedan occurrence in the time

of Charles 1., when the Court of Common Council
sent their petition to the King at Ox.tord, who

would send his answer outs* to the Common hail,
as the greater assembly, adding as a reason, "that
he would have all fair and above board." Ile

next alluded to the memorable case of Jenks,
which, he said, was precisely similar to the pre-
sent, with just this difference—that the Common-
Serjeant of that day did not report his account to
the Court of Aldermen, ,but to the. Privy
Coun-
cil ; and even in that arbitrary reign it was
-,al-

r.wed that Jenks had committed 119 offence, and

hey darid not bring bin* to trial.

The, worthy

Alderman then proceeded to notice the case of
the Sheriffs l'ilkington, and chir e, and others, in
order to shots', tharalthough charged and convict-

ed of riot in continuing the ,ppil after the
.Lord
Mayor had adjourned ihe it.heing contended
that the right to adjourn the' proveedingsivas in
the Lord Mayor and Common-serjeant, all, the
proceedings had .since been reversed and declared
illegit, and thereby the evidence given by Mr.

nr:(1 Sit 11„beiVAS,71011 ect:111j;11(-11 as cot--
rt cr. For tbongh-Sir Gone Jeinisys liad said,
Viet the e,lPoron Was k;.ith Contrnon Svr;ea.nt,
and that I hi;sl,,,:itr,..-;,.A e.d on, the'fall was
►lreri, 'as' it is nOw, that the Sheriffs alone had
the conducting of the elections. Sir Francis Vin-
nington, counsel for Vilkingtoo, had 'asked Mr.
Love, who Was a witness .‘• What is the °dice of
CoMmon Serjeant ? for there are' some htte 'who
say, he and the Common Crier have the whole
power in ordering'electians in the Common Hall,"
The answer of Mr. Love was worthy of record :
" Truly, Sir, said be, i look upon both as per-
sons lift to assist us, and save us the trouble of
saying, O yes, ontselVei -; and if either of them
thirst put a question without my direction, I
Tvould have shown him whether he 'could, or no."
Thus the right to address the Livery was acknow-
ledged before the Revolution, and subsequently
confirmed by the act -restoring the City Charters.
What, then, is the Common Serjeant ? He is not
mentioned in any of your Charters, and is the
mere mouthpiece of the Sheriffs; 'and can do no-
thing without their direction.
. The worthy Aldetman then desired that the
opinion delivered by Serjeant Glyn, in• 1773, de-
claring it to ;be the undoubted right of the Livery
in Common Hall to discuss public matters, on
Michaeltnas or Midsummer-days ; and also that of
Recorder Glyn, :and.'s'erjearit Ntigcnt, in 1779,
confirmiNg that right, should be•iead, which was
done aCcOrdingly.. He "then instanced neatly 20
cases of precedents from 1769 down to 1809, and
dwelt With great forCe upon that of Alderman
Turner. Ile next teniarked on the circumstance
of a vote of thanks, passed-to Alderman Conibe, in
his Mayoralty, and before au election, for his con-
duct in suppressing some riots that had occurred ;
and conceived, if it were legal to vote thanks, there
could be no-legal objeCtion to a vote of censure, if
deserved. Even cases had occurred in which business
had been brought- forward before an election, bit
the Lord Mayors themselves ;and if, as the Com-
mon Serjeant had urged, the Livery were booed
by the precept issued; the Lord Mayor was equally
bound by his own precept. Rut the Common Serjeant
had said, it you can deky the'election an hour,
you may delay it tili midnight ; so then these pro-
secutions are not for breach of law—not for what
we did, but for what we might have done ; just
upon the Same principle as the murders at Mali-
chester, where the victims were sacrificed because
mischief' might- have ensued from their assem-
bling together ; 'and the Court-of -Aldermen—
a close -conclave---a secret tribunal, were to sit
in judgnrent on the rights of their tellow-citizens,
and be was to be taken when tlrty thought
him defenceless, and when he might have been
incapable of 'advocating the' rights or the Livery.
Well, indeed, might they feel themselves in a state
of alarm and trepidation, fearful their proceedings
should meet the public eye, knowing they would
not bear the public Scrutiny; lie. was Well-aware.
that any vote Of censure they could pass' against
him would. only raise 'him in public estimation,
and he more serviceable to him than their thanks;
but he would neverilieleis be always really to de-
fend himself against' 'any `secret or coutrited
attack.
ir.sym. CURTIS here disclaimed having attend-
ed any meeting on the subject.
" my LOrd;" exclaimed Mr. Warta-
" li am'not' ti) be. decei'ved. 'by such a con',

but he bad it under hi 4 cnat; and has now pro-
duced.it cut. and dried. I know as well as your
tOillihip what passed at the'Meeting I have allud-
ed. to." 'Aeverting again to 'the quesfion'-Of

not- adduced ar 'single precedent or authority zn
sairport of the doctrine laid' dOwii, and ridi4uled
Witli'Much success the infroduCtron of the case of

he had nothing to do with had ittk.4e'd
his friends not to attempt to oppose the rot a;ihri;
'he "feit'it lri;'ditty-tti support the'liglits Of the
Livery, and if any 'aCt'.Of tumult or assault was
committed, it
,wai'ou the part of the officeis', who,
he iltinbted not, had :the Lord Mayor's 'orders ;
and it isr'ttS.not till he witnessed an act of violence
committed 'by one -of; the City Marshals On Mr:
Thompson that he came for ward' to support him.
The Worthy Mdennan concluded by s'ayingi, that
hebarlevery respect for the Aldertnen personally,
and had always lived on good terms with them,
and still wished so to do ; but lie could never COO-
sent to compromise the rights-Of his fell'ow'-chi-
tens, of be backward to deletid them on all oc-
casions.

Alderman J. J. SMITH deprecated the proceed-
ing intended to be adopted ; there was: ito evidence
of the facts before them ; the party were (Hilo-
formed and unprepared, and even the Court were
taken: by Surprise, at no mention of the subject was
made on the tutnirint.

x\hlerman 13111 CH ObjeCted to the motion with-
out some previous inquiry ; hut as the Atli hority
of the law-offiCerS was called in questiou, be would
vote.for inquiry on the subject.
Sir WILLIAM Ctnrists said, what the Wrote two
hours ago might not be ali right ; be would there

fore witiulrais:his motion, tied propose one in a dif-
ferent form. The motion tiffis then withdris,:vn,

•
Sir \I'M. Curtils moved that it he referred to
the Committee of Privileges to i-Oquire into the
nature of the offence, and whether any and what

proceedings should be instituted against the per-
sons concerned in 'causing thee-tuninit on Michael-
rnas7ffay, taking the advice.of the Law Officers if
necessary, and repOrt thereon.

Alderman Tttofu' opposed the ;notion, on the
ground tha't no facts were in evidence, and tbar
the motion stated the exiSience of thinulf, when
there was -no proof of any tumult belure the
,Court.

Alderman C. SMITH did not exactly like the
motion, ,bot
,he was never against inquiry where

agyotlence was alleged.
