met with his due meed of praise as a hero and it

the Livery that they would persevere in their pre-

opposed the claims of the Lord Mayor, if he
consulted his own judgment and good sense, would

occurrence, and ought not to startle them. There
was a precedent that would remove all uncertain-

Chapman, Alderman l'ilkington was appointed to
the civic chair, and he occupied it for three 'toe-
cessive years, the former having shed while in the
execution of his office,. The present Lord Mayor
'was' in the filthiest of strength troth of body and
and perfectly competent to the laborious

The meeting of the Livery adjourned at a litar
