spectable Members of the Corporation. He then
stated the usual course of proceedings observed in the
Election of Lord Mayor, according to the Charter of
the City of London; and proceeded to remark on the
proceedings of the last Election. On that day, the
Livery assembled to a considerable number; a person,
of the name of Joseph Dean, distributed copies of a
hand-bill in the entrance to the Hall, which was en-
titled, " The Will of the Lord Mayor versus the
Right of the Livery of London to meet in Common
Hall to di!cuss Public Grievances".--[For a copy
of the hand-bill, see the STAR for 29th September
last.j—The Learned Gentleman was reading this
hand-bill, when

Mr. Justice BAYLEY inquired if he could bring it
home to the parties?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL answered that he could,
as Joseph Hurcombe had told Dean to distribute the
bills in the body of the Hall among the Liverymen,
and they proceeded together into the Hall, where he
did distribute them. After rdading the whole of the
hand-bill, the Solicitor-General said, he would not at-
tempt to describe the scene of noise and confusion which
took place on the Lord Mayor and Aldermen proceed-
ing from the Church to the Hall, as it was with much
difficulty they could reach the Hustings. When this
was done, the Town Crier made the proclamation, and
the Recorder, amid the most discordant yells, ad-
dressed the Livery in the usual form. The Lord
Mayor and Aldermen retired, and the Common Ser-
jeant advanced to the front of the Hustings to state
the business on which they were met and to read
the list of persons eligible to be elected. Alder-
man Waithman, who bad not retired from the
Court, but addressing Funself to Mr. Hunt; said,
" Htmt, tell Thompson to stick to it to the last, and
to give way to no one." He mentioned this to prove
the connection of the parties, Hunt spoke to Thomp-
son, and the latter then addressed the Hall, and in
spite of the remonstrances of the Common Serjeant,
who said he was acting wrong, he persisted in putting
a series of Resolutions, and declared he would do it
•if he remained on the hustings until the next day.—
Mr. Waithman supported Thompson in this conduct;
and when the Common Serjeant remonstrated with
him, how indecorous his conduct was as a Magistrate,
Mr. Waithman stripped off his gown, and said,
" New lam a Liveryman." Mr. Sheriff Rothw•ell
begged that they would suffer the election to pro-
ceed—but Mr. Waithman cried " No, no !" and the
shout of " No election—no election !" immediately
resounded through the Hall.—Mr. Henry Hunt
made use of the most insulting and opprobrious
expressions against the Common Serjeant, who
was pointed out to the indignation of the Livery.
Mr. Hunt, the friend and companion of Alderman
Waithman, actually took from his pocket a night-cap,
to shew to the Livery his determination to per-
severe in this riotous conduct—(Laud laughter)•
Mr. Sheriff Parkins said the Election should not be
proceeded in, until the Resolutions were put; he in-
sulted the Common Serjeant, and when the Resolu-
tions were passed, actually joined in the general
cheers. Mr. Hunt, while this disturbance was going
on, said, " This is, indeed, a proper lark I" All the
other parties took part in the same proceedings, and
thanks were voted to Messrs. Hunt and Waithman.—
He would not do so much injustice to the Livery as
to suppose that they all participated in these dis-
graceful proceedings; several, on the contrary, op-
posed them, but were overpowered by numbers, not
only of.the Livery, but others who had got into the
Hall. When these tumultuous proceedings had lasted
two hours, Mr. Thompson said, " Now, I believe we
have had enough of it," and the Election of Lord
Mayor, the real business of the
