COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.

A Court of Common Council was held this
morning for the despatch of business. The Lord
Mayor took the chair precisely at twelve o'clock.—
The Court was very numerously attended.
The Court, after hearing reports from the London
bridge and other Committees, appointed new Com-
mittees for the ensuing year.
Several Members took the oaths of allegiance and
supremacy.
PUNISHMENT OF DEATH FOR FORGERY.
Mr. PAVELL said he rose for the purpose of giv-
Ing notice that it was his intention on the next
Court-day, to bring under the consideration of the
Court a most important subject, a subject which
had at all times much interested the country, but
particularly so of late, he meant the punishment of
death for the crime of forger:-„ (hear, hear). He
brought the same subject forward ten years since,
When it was fully discussed, and an alteration
in the law was then thought necessary, but
the question was allowed to slumber; he was, how-
ever, happy now to say (from what he thought good
authority), that this important subject was at the
Present time under the consideration of the Home
Secretary of State and Sir James Mackintosh, who
were convinced of the necessity of some altsrations
pub}e law. He therefore thought that Court ought
cly to express their sentiments as to such ne-
cessity existing.
Mr. PAVELL then gave notice of a motion in the
usual form, for the next Court day.
Mr. Dixon presented a petition from the Inha•
wtants of •Brideweil precinct, respecting ward rates,
Which was under discussion when our Reporter left.
