Mr. HUST then spoke as follows, amidst some in-
terruptions :—" Fellow*Citizens—You must hear me
before you can proceed. I am contending for your
rights. I have ao desire to try any right of my own.
The next Gentleman whose name will he presented
to you, in order that you shall say whether you will,
or will not, elect him as your Sheriff for the ensuing
year, is Alderman Rothwell. I am about to address
you, and to state to you my opinion of what sort of
man you ought to elect for your Sheriff, and what
son:of man you ought not to elect. Gentlemen, at
the present important aud eventful period, it is the
duty of the Livery of Loudon to elect a man of cha-
racter and of talent. It is your duty to elect such a
man as Alderman Rothwell. You have heard what
he has said on the present occasion, and no doubt
you will allow him the same sort of indulgence which
you granted to the worthy Alderman who was put
up before him. If this anticipation be correct, then
you will have to look further; and in fixing your
choice, let me entreat that you will not select a per-
son who is likely to become the tool of any party or
faction—(Hear, hear) ;—and especially at a season
so pregnant with difficulty as this. The time ap.
proaches when the duties of Sheriff will require to be
exercised with energy and 'with judgment, and I
trust you will elect a man possessing both the one
and the other. You might to elect a man who will
not be wavering to this or that party, but who will
conscientiously discharge his duty to his fellow Cid-
.sens, and to the Livery of London—( Hear, hear,
and cries of "such as yourself").—A man who will
not be the tool of A corrupt and venal Administra-
tion. You will not elect a man who will, for the
sake of gratifying his own vanity, by an attempt to
obtain some empty title, run the risk of setting this
great City in flames—(Hear, hear, and cheers).—You
will not elect a' man who will not take the advice of
his fellow Aldermen. If you should elect such a

man,• it is more.than probable that von will witness
that conflagration which my Lord Mayor has told
you was likely to have taken place. I have had suf.
ticient experience of the coadoct of the people of the
Metropolis, and especially d,irirn? the last week, to
believe that nothing on earth will induce them to
commit an act of violence to..varis the Government,
unless they are excited, and goaded, and driven to it
by madness. You have. place,i, by your election,
the worthy Aldermen, who have been •prel,ented to.
you in the offices they y:air Magi-
strates. You have also y. 1.0 rd the preien: Lord Mayor
in the situation of your Chief Ma7i,trate—(C'ries of
No, no, a false retn;•,l ).—(;;•aller,3011, you are a ckii-
berate body. Yon possexs a rower enjoyed by no ether
body in this Country--that of choosing your own Ma-
gistrates and Sheriffs; and in the exercise of that power
at behoves you to act with wisdom and with caution.
The-Gentleman already elected as one of your She-
riffs (Mr. Parkins), bc;th by character and fortune,
will do great honour to the Livery of London (Hear),
and it is your duty to take care what sort of a man'
you appoint as his colleague. A person who stands
here, I don't know who he is (Mr. 'Woodthorpe), en-.
deavoured to prevent me from addressing you, and
threatened me with calling for the assistance of the
• Marshals. If I have behaved improperly, lam most
willing to submit to the laws of my country ; but it
,would be a most extraordinary decisio indeed, if I,
as a Liveryman, were prevented from addressing
you, my fellow Liverymen, upon so important an
occasion as the election of one of your Sheriffs—.
(Hear). I presume this, person has authority from
his gown rind wig ; but I little expected he was going
to plat the part of my Lord Mayor and Parson Har-
rison, and take me into custody. I repeat that -I will
always bow with submission to authority properly
exercised, but I never will be deterred from doing
what I conceive to be my duty, and especially whets
I come before such aisody as this.. I hope and trust
before this Meeting is at an end, that whatever
Worthy Alderman may be elected—whether Alder-
man Rothwell, or any other Gentleman, that you
will have either from him or from the Lord: Mayor,
an assurance that he has got in his custody those
atrocious conspirators who were going to burn this
great City, and to murder all its peaceable inhabitants'
—(Hear, and cheers). I will' venture to say, that there
are not ten old women in this metropolis, and I will
give you the Lord Mayor into the bargain, who be=
lieve one word of this notable plot—(Loud laughter).
Mr. Hunt then proceeded to advert to the practice
of putting persons in nomination as Sheriffs, Who, it
was well known would not, or could not serve,
merely for the purpose of enriching the City Trea-
sury—(Hear). This was a practice a; disgraceful as
it was unjust, and ought to be avoided. Before the'
Livery elected any Gentle Man to the office of Sheriff,
they should ascertain if he was willing to discharge
its duties, and that could easily be done. He (Mr.
Hunt) hoped he would live to see the day when his
fellow-Citizens would not prove forgetful of their
own interests: and, for his own part, he always came
forward with a disposition to do his duty. No power
should ever intimidate him, nor threats prevent him
from acting according to the best suggestions of hii
feelings. He svas told by a Morning Paper of the
day. that he would be hooted by the Hall, and pelted
by the populace * he passed along to attend to its
Proceedings—wishes somewhat in unison perhaps
with those of a petty faction, whom he saw in a cer-
tain corner ; but in despite of such a prophecy, he
had escaped unhurt, and was now addressing his fel-
low-Citizens. He always spoke what he felt and
what he knew ; and though all the City officers were
against his addressing the Livery—although the lit-
tle Gentleman in the sown and wig was also de-
sirous of preventing his speaking—indeed, peremp-
torily so, together with one of the Sheriffs (Roberts);
yet Mr. Sheriff Gwynne, wishing to do what was fair
and honest by every man, allowed him to exercise
his right, and for the kindness with which it was done,
he begged to thank him. Mr. Hunt concluded br
thanking the Meeting for the' patience with which
they heard him, and expressing his intention of again
addressing them, if any necessity for his doing :0
should occur—(Hisses and bravos).
The T9wn Clerk then put to the vote the names of
the following Gentlemen, from whoin a selection was
to be niade to fill the office of Sheriffs—Alderman
Rothwell, Robert H. Marten, and William Cay
key, Escirs.
The Town Clerk pow came forward, and an-
nounced, after tht show of hands was taken, that the
election bad fallen •on Alderman Rothwell—(Cries
of ,4 No, no").
Mr. HUNT—I pretest against the election altoge-
ther. Surely if you allow a man to hold up his hand
for one side of the question, you ought also to suffer
him to hold up his hand in its negative. This is not
the way to carry such a qneition. I hope the Gentle-
man elected will not pay his money ; I know 1 would
not, if I were so ,situated.

The Sheriffs heriretired to the Council Chamber,
and shortly after the Lord Mayor returned, amidst
hisses and howlings and a few plaudits, %%hen the
Town Clerk reported that the return of the Sheriffs
was confirmed.; and that Mr. Alderman Rothwell
was appointed to serve the office in conjunction with
Mr. Parkins, for the ensuing year—(Cries of No, no);
Proclamation to that effect Was made in the usual
manner, and the Lord Mayor ordered the Ctier to
proclaim that the Hall was dissolved. His Lordship
retired amidst loud and continued groans, arid bowed
to the Livery as he retired. At this period Mr. Ste-
phens presented himself to the Livery, and
Gentlemen, we are placed in a inott extraordinary
situation, in having for our 'Chief Magistrate a man
who Will not take the Chair when properly called to
it by his fellow-Citizens. I shall, therefore; propose,
that Mr. Alderman Waldman do take the Chair—.
(Bravo, bravo).
Mr. TATLOCK—And I most cheerfully second it.
Mr; Alderman WAIT/MAN then took the Chair,
and the cheers upon his entering it continued for so.
