LAW INTP.I.LIGENCE,

COCKPIT, WHMMALL.

On Saturday, at ten o'clock, a Committee of the
Privy Council assembled at the Cockpit, Whitehall,
to take into consideration the Petition to the KING
in Council, of the lute Magistrates of Aberdeen,
praying for the restoration of their antient elective
franchise, and also of the Petition of the Burgesses
of Guild, and a very numerous and respectable body
of the inhabitants, praying for a new Sett (Consti-
tution) of the Burgh, for regulating the future elec-
tions' of their Magistrates and Town Council. The
Members of the Committee who attended were more
than usually numerous. They consisted of the fol-
lowing persons :—The Earl of Harrowby, President,
the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, Lord
Melville, Sir William Grant,
_Sir William Scott, the
Vice-Chancellor, the Solicitor General, Mr. Bragge
Bathurst, and the Lord Advocate of Scotland.
Counsel having been ordered to attend on both
Petitions, Mr. WARREN and Mr. Serjeant COPLEY
were heard on behalf of the Magistrates, and Sir
SAMUEL itOMILLY and Mr. MONCRIEF for the Bur-
gesses. In the course of his speech, Sir Saigon, Ro-
MILLY said, that perhaps he could not express him-
self more strongly in support of the Petition of the
Burgesses and of the necessity of a radical change in
the Constitution of the Burgh, than by reading the
Declaration or Manifesto which the Magistrates
themselves, previous to their retirement from office
in September last, had, after mature deliberation, '
printed and published. In that paper, these very
Gentlemen, who now appeared as Petitioners for
the restoration of the tbrmer mode of election, stated
as their decided opinion, "that the present mode of
election of the Town Council, and management of
the Town's affairs, 'ire radically defective and impro-
vident, tending to give to any individual or party,
an excessive and unnatural preponderance, and to
foster and encourage a system of concealment ; that
some change ought to be effected in the manner of
electing the Council, and an effectual controul given
to the Citizens over the expenditure of the public
funds, and that to the absence of such checks in the
Constitution of the Burgh they ascribed the heavy
calamity which has befallen it." Mr. WARREN being
heard in reply, the Court cleared, but the result of
their Lordships' deliberation on the Petitions will
not be declared till it has been communicated to his
Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT.
