THE MAW JURY ACT.

......iiiN,.......

That part of Mr. Peers New Jury Act which relates
to the qualifications of persons to serve on Juries, has
given rise to a diversity of opinion. The clause espe-
cially, which' applies to householders, hat been taken in
different senses, some interpreting it-to mean the qua-
lification to extend to those assessed to the amount of

twenty pounds per annum for house and land collec-
tively, and others restricting the qualification to those
-Assessed to that amount for their houses alone. These
different expositions of the law being embraced by cer.l
fain of the Magistrates of the %rest Riding of slime
county of York, one of them, the Rev. B. Newton, who,
saw die Act in the latter sense, proposed the question
to the 'Under Secretiry of State. The following is
copy of the answer', weived, which we have pleasure
in laying before our Readers, hoping that it may tend
to promote an uniformity in the returns of Jurors.
which was the object of the application at the Secretary
of State's Office :
xeort.) u Whitehall, Sept. 12, lOU.
" Sea—ln Mr. Hoblitneses absence I have toacknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the Sib Weeny on the subject of the new
Airy Act.
" I cone*. you and your brother Magistrates have taken a per-
/petty correct view of the qualification of a householder, via. that
be must be rated to the poor-rate at £2O a-year as a householder,
or in other wools, for his House way, and =Or his Lead.
" The words of the Act are certainly equivocal, bat loch were
the inteetked of the Menem. who introduced the clause, and this
consuection is enervater hivitabk from the context ; for if a Juror
were to be giaSSIII,Ity bob" mod at a.year on any property
t=
whatevecalt would be absurd to revive an assessment to the
duty (Which snares to the berme only)-on the onne value.
" I hiriet the honour to be, Sir,
Tan most obedient, lundbleuervant,

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court of Common wis held
the dispatch of a variety of public business.
WAR, JXQUXSTA.
Mr. &mum moved, that it shoidd be referred to a
COnalnitieg 10 inquitc and report on the nature of the
dutiei of Ward Invests, and the manner in whrch
they were evcoted, and also that the Report which the
Committee should make be printed and sent to each
Member of the Court. He referred them to.the report
of the care respecting false weights, which took place
at the Mansion-house. This was one of the most ins-

portant subjects connected with the municipal regula-
tioas of the City, and he should feel it his duty to call
the attention of the Court to it. It .would be found
that the most important duties which belonged to the
Wad Inquest had fallen into disrepute, and that others
were rendered peifectly nugatory by the general mode
cif proceeding which Inqueqs had Adopted.
The motion was agreed to unanimously.
The Lquo MAYOR submitted to the Court a letter
from Alderman Venables, announcing his intention of
accepting the office of Lord Mayor, to which he was
elected by his fellow•citizens in Common-hall.

THE OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK•

The discussion on the R?port as to the salary which
should be given to the person who might be elected to
serve the office of Town Clerk next folio xed.

Mr. S. DIXON said he was not able to attend the
former Court, but from what he gathered of the pro-
ceedings from the reports in the public papers, it seemed
it had been proposed to give the Town Clerk 2,0004
per annum, with various privileges, exclusive of the
allowance of 1,5001. for the salaries of his clerks.—
Now be (Mr. Dixon) felt himself in a very delicate
situation as respected the Gentleman on whom, be-
yond all doubt, their choice would fall. For that Gen•
tleman be bad long felt the utmost esteem, and he
would always promote his interests to the utmost of his
power wherever be could do it conscientiously. But
he felt be bad a higher duty to perform, and he must
object to the allowance proposed by the Court. With
such an allowance he declared that he would sooner
take the office of Town Clerk than that of Lord Mayor,
because it would last much longer, and produce
much more profit than the latter office generally did
—(Laughter). The Court should also consider that
the allowance they now made would probably last
beyond the life of the officer whom they were about to
elect, and would become a rent-charge upon the funds
of the City, which were not likely for years to be in a
flourishing condition.
Mr. Jamas thought the allowance of 1,5001. to the
Clerks excessive, and moved, as an amendment, that
the sum allowed for the Clerks should be 11201 X.
per annum. He thought the Court should have some
Report annually of the names of the Clerks employed,
and the sums given to them, in order that they might
see how the allowance was applied.
Mr. LZOGZ thought the sum of 1,5001. was not too
much, but he consideted that the Court should have
the appointment of the clerks. He thought that 1,8001.
per annum would form a munificent allowance, with
the advantage of a residence at the expense of the City,
as he was not aware that it was recrisitefor the dignity
of the office that he should keep his carriage. He was
of opinion that fees of office ought to be entirely abco
hated. They formed one of the most ancient, and, d
the same time, grievous abuses which were maintained'
by prescription. There was one of the fees to whit l
be must particularly object. He found that any Jew
admitted to the office of broker, was compelled to pay
aim his admission. Now, there were many members
supporting the report, who professed to be friends of
liberal•principles, and he was at a loss to conceive how
they could agree to so invidious and illiberal a dis-
tinction. They would admit the most outrageous
atheist, or a man who was utterly devoid of principle
of any kind might be admitted for Sl. 10s. whilst the
man who conscientiously, though perhaps erroneously,
maintained what he conceived to be the right, was to
be charged 91.—(Hear, hear). He hoped that such
distinctions would be done away by everybody that
would prove they were actuated by Christian feelings
of charity or indulgence—(Cheers).
Mr. EAVELL said, that the distinction was by no
means made in the feelings imputed by the worthy
member, bat the larger fee was fixed on the admission
of a Jew broker, because the office was proportionately
more lucrative—( Hear). He concluded by reCOID•
mending that the Court should adopt, with respect to
junior clerks in the office, that which was adopted in
the Bank and the East India HoUse—namely, that
specific salaries should be given for the performance
of specific duties.
Mt. Heacouse and Mr. Putt= supported the report, widely
*fox some further discussion, was agreed to.
Mr. Roots then presented a petition from Mr. Henry Wood.
thorpe, praying to be elected to the office of Town Clerk, to'
succeed his father.
Mr. 8 Dixon expressed his pleasure in seconding the modem that
the petition should be agreed to.
The petition stated, that the petitioner had been convene.* arlik
the duties of the office for twenty-four years.
The standing order, that the elections of this Court,
and that all elections, should be by ballot, was sus•
pended, and Mr. Woodthorpe was unanimously elected.
Mr. Woodthorpe was then called into the Coon;
when the Loan MAY= said, he was highly gratified
with being able to inform him that his election had been
mania-isms. His Lordship felt convinced, from the
able manner in which be had performed the duties if
the office of Deputy Town Clerk, be would execute
an efficient and honourable manner the duties of the
high office to which he was now elected in so dis-
tin :guished a manner.
Woodthorpe, with much emotiapressed his
grateful ackoowledgments for the honottV done him.
He begged mutate them) that if their approbation of
-v exertioos of his bad procured for him this die-
, should only operate as a stimulus, if any
wanting, and increase his future efforts to execute
- of his office, and maintain all the important
this Court, and the Corporation at large.
