JUBILEE.

Alderman WOOD rose to move a string of resolu-
tions. The substance of the first was, that so much
of the resolution of the last Court as related to illu-
minating Guildhall and providing a dinner, should
be rescinded, as contrary to the 3'2d standing order
of the Court. He should also move a resolution,
that it was the opinion of the Court, that it would be
more consonant to the wishes of his Majesty and a
better way of celebrating the Jubilee, that the money
which was now intended to be expended on a dinner
and an illumination, should be applied to building
alms-houses for distressed Freemen and their widows,
and that the City should call upon the different Guilds
to co-operate with them, and aid them in their pur-
pose, which would be a much better mode of celebra-
ting the day than what had been proposed.
The 32d standing order was then read, which was
dated 31st of May 1805, and stated that no question
affecting the estates or cash of the City, should be
brought forward without a regular notice at the pre-
ceding Court, and also expressed in the summons.
At the request of Mr. Dixon, the 28th standing
order was then read, which provided that no pro-
ceeding or resolution of that Court should be rescinded
without similar notice.

After a short and irregular debate,
Mr. Dixox said that if the worthy Alderman
wished to stand upon a standing order, he could not
get rid of the other. He submitted, however, that it
would be the best way to take first that part of the
report in which they all agreed, namely, for address-
ing his Majsty and going up to St. Paul's. After
this part of the business was settled, the worthy Al-
derman might afterwards go on with his motions.
Mr. Alderman Woof), after consulting with his
friends, said, that he was pErftctly content that this
business should be first settled, provided it were un-
derstood that the motions were not abandoned.

Mr. Alderman GOODBEHERE thought that the Ccurt
was tt all times perfectly the master of its own pro-
ceedings, and might, if it thought proper, agree to
any resolution, notwithstanding these standing orders
which had been mentioned.

Mr. WAITIIMAN rose merely to speak to order.—
He never could conceive the rescinding of a former
resolution, or the violation of a standing order, as
things of a trivial nature. He thought, on the con-
trary, that the departure from the established rules
laid down to'guide the Court, was a very serious
thing. To rescind a resolution as contrary to a stand-
ing order, he thought would be only getting rid of one
irregularity by committing another. It was allowed,
however, that there had been very great irregularity
at the last Court ; and the Court itself was broke up
on account of its irregularity. He therefore thought,
that although it would be wrong to rescind a resolu-
tion of the last Court without due notice, yet it might
be right to consider that resolution as a mere nullity,
in consequence of its being passed is direct contradic-
tion to the tl2d standing order.
Mr. Alderman Woon said, that he had no objec-
tion to alter his motion according to the suggestions
of the last speaker.
After some further conversation a Committee was
appointed to prepare an Address of Congratulation.
On the return of the Committee with the Address,
strangers were excluded, and were not again admitted.
A Court is to be held to-morrow, avowedly for the
purpose of appointing a Committee to conduct the
entertainment for the Corporation on the 25th of
October, &c. ; but, till the determination of this Court
is known, the huiness of the dinner and illumination
may be considered as in suspense. Mr. Alderman
Wood will bring forward his propositions.—Ad-
journed at six o'clock.
