He would now appeal to the Lord Mayor whether he bad node ray

The LORD Mayon said be mad not exactly recollect.
Mr. Hunt stated, that in The no" to the report in which Mr.
Tickner particularly referred as centaimbg the imputed calumny, time
WOO no statement of soy charge against Mr. Tielmer ; but on the con-
trary, there was a Mama' of any thing of the nature of an imputa-
tion of Band. Ma Thbsr had tbeu proper, however, to call at
the Morriewhoese en Sourday, esal then appeared in TheThw art-
=whisk he hilieved to be accurate, of the observations of that gen-
whir aseepliaad, amongst other things, that the ceremony of
giving nada ef the latiettion to make the charge was not observed to-
womb hint. Now, is wise that he should not be aceased deny ddngof
the kind, whim he really had a charge to bring, he had written the fol.
boring note In Mr. Miner:
" 34, Stamford-street, October 4.
" Sir—l see by The non paper of this day, that you attended at
the Mansion-house on Saturday, and falsely, before the Lord Mayor,
attributed to me unworthy motives, in making the complaint I made on
Friday, as to the infamous state of Blackfriars Bridge.
" I am now going to the Mansion-house to controvert your slander,
end I give you this notice that you may, if you please, meet me there,
as 1 now mean to follow up the inquiry into your conduct.
" I am, Sir, yours, &e.
44 H. HUNT."

" Mr Tlckner."

ML HUM said that Mr. Ticknor, however, had not thought proper
to take any notice of this communication. No charge bad been made
until Mr. Ticknor by his confession that be bad purchased the
Waite stone for the sum of 321. bret a charge against himself.
He (Mr. Hunt) could now produce ma to prove that the ra-
nks stone removed from Fleewtreet was pertly removed to Mr.
Tielmer's yard, and partly to the City.fitone.yar and that none of
it bed been taken elsewhere. He could prove that a quantity, to
the extent of from 250 to 900 tons, constituted the lot which
Mr. Meitner had thought proper to pave his yard with, and
that 1801. and not 301. which latter Mr. Tidings said he had
paid the the material, constituted the value. Why had not the
stone been put up to public auction ? No, no, it was not put up
to public suction ; and he could prove that not only was this
warrantable mode of disposing of it overlooked, but that the city carts
removed the stones to the aforesaid leather yard, and the city paviers
laid down the pavement, and that Mr. Du pee, who was employed
by the city, paid all the expenses attending the removal and the
laying down.
The Loan MAYOR—What! Do you man to say that Mr. Tick.
per's yard was paved at the expense of the'city of London ?
Mr. Hunt intimated that such was the gist of the accusation.
The Loan MAYOR said it certainly was the duty of the city MIN
veyor to direct the appeopriation of the old pavement, and that it was
eery improbable India that any such misappropriation as that alluded
to had taken place.
Mr. HITIFT (as we understood him) said that the city surveyor had
been applied to one occasion by a person who wished to purchase
some of the te, and that the answer was that the city never sold
stones. (A ugh.) Mr. Hunt then read several passages in the state.
menu made by Mr. l'lckner to the Lord Mayor, and ridiculed the idea
which that gentian= entertained, that the motive for mentioning the
pavement in connexion with the name of 'Dana, originated in the
dOrent proceedings suggested by Mr. Tither and Mr. Hunt on the
subject of the French revolution, in the Common Council and at Ben.
nington. The Lad Mayor must recollect that he bad designated the
Court of Common Council as the scavengers of the city. (A laugh.)
He never had sousidered them, nor ever could consider them as a poli-
tical body, and be uniformly had felt and expressed for them the most
unqualified conr The Livery were the political body of the city of
Louden, who tad members of Parliament, and chief magistrates,
and sheriffs I Common Council were nothing but scavengers (laugh.
ter) ; and the gentry who composed that body never would think of
get into or.e If it were not for the nice jobs which abounded in the
the ‘4 I now have to request," said Mr. Hunt,
" that your Lords* will grant me a summons for Mr. Ticknor, to an.
swer the charge which I did not bring when lint I appeared here, but
which I now certainly shall bring, and which I &di produce evidence
to substantiate, If mesas be not taken to prevent the production of the
testimony. A witness may be removed, but it is a matter of difficulty
to remove the stones. nay ars of too :grad bulk' to be got rid of,
and must remain as corroborative evidence in AI r. Tickiter's tan-yard."
Mr. &mum said, that efts: all, he could not see what the Lord
Mayor bad to do with the case brought forward by Mr. Hunt.
Alt. Bunt—Why, it b a case of grow fraud. I have been present
when the Lord Mayor has committegfor frauds, and lam ready to
bring forward evidence to substantiate U ease.
• The LORD MAYO/ expressed his Medina* to hear charges against
members of the Corporation, as well as agsAnst other people. He then
repeated his high opinion of Mr. Ticknor 's integrity, and assured Mr.
Hunt that Mr. Ticknor should be 'ablated of the all which bad been
made for his presence at the justles.room. •
Mr. Hunt expressed his perfect sadsfactlon at the promptitude and
impartiality manifested by his Lordship, and hoped that some docu.
memo belonging to the liewer'saSce would be forthcoming at the Man.
tdon.house. _ - -

Mr. Hunt informed his Lordship, that on Saturday the workmen
were engaged at Blackftiass.inidge In Oiling up the ruts with the same
soft sort of gravel which they bad used so frequently, so that com-
plaints were, it would appear, quite useless. it some of the granite
which paved the tan-yard at Bermondsey were broken, it would have
served on Illackfriers.btidge foe six months.
The LORD MAYOR said the mode of pavingitisthoe was no.
thing but a mere subterfuge, and we undaunted Lordship to say,
upon the request of Mr. Hunt, that Mr. Montague, the sutveyor of
the city works, should be in attendance to give an explanation upon
the subject.
