to the best of his ability, to perform his duty. There-
fore, as he did not stand a stranger before the Livery,
he considered that it wits unnecessary for him to
make any professions, or to enter into any pledges.
During several years, except on one occasion, when
he was fora few days in the country, he had not
.missed an opportunity of meeting the Livery when
assembled •in Common Hall-e.and his atl'endance in
the Common' Council had been equally punctual.
He had ever strove to peihirm his du:y strictly, even
where it interfered with his private cnneeras—and he
could. assure the Livery, that, in the situation in
which they had placed him, his exertions to admi-
, nister the various and important concerns that would
necessarily devilve on him, should be unahatt.s.t—

They broke the windows of several hoos,•s, wrenched

railings, and intered into his garden, in which stood
a curious sun-dial which showed the time of the day
at six different pl ales, the twelve signs of the zodiac,
and azimuths, this they stole ; but finding the dial
too large for them, they wrenched the stiles off ( which
were of solid brass), and threw the rest of the dial
