A COMMON HALL.
THE LORD MAYOR'S REFUSAL TO GRANTi s
for being disorderly, which vas
- • set agaiar-

The Deputation, who presented the Requisition for
a Common Hall, on the late proceedings at Man-
chester, to the Loan MAYOR on Friday last, waited
upon his Lordship yesterday morning, for the pur-
pose of receiving his Lordship's answer. The LORD
lIATOR said, he was always sorry when he could
not comply with the wishes of the Livery, but on the
present occasion he should decline calling a Hall.
On the Deputation expressing their regret that his
Lordship should have formed such a determination,
the LORD MAYOR replied, "That is my determina-
tion; I have already summoned a Court of Common
Council upon the same business."
The Deputation observed, that his Lordship was
well aware that that circumstance formed no reason
against assembling a Common Hall, the Livery and
Common Council being very distinct bodies, and
requested his Lordship to assign his reasons for the
refusal in writing. The LORD MAYOR replied, "That
I certainly shall not do. There are several gentle-
men present who hear me (alluding to Mr. Hobler
and another person then in the room), and I will not
get into a Newspaper controversy."
One of the Deputation then said, " As your Lord-
ship has declined acceding to our Requisition, you
•
will have the goodness to return it to us."
LORD MAYOR—Ne. I shall not.
Deputation—Then we are reduced to this awk-
ward dilemma, that we must hold a Meeting without
your Lordship.
LORD MAYOR—About that, Gentlemen, you are to
•
do as you please.
Deputation—Your Lordship will not prevent us
from holding a Meeting in the Guildhall, as that is
our own property ?
The Lon° MAYOR replied—" I know very well
whose property it is," but made no further obser-
vation.

Another of the Gentlemen expressed himself rather
strongly on the refusal of the Requisition, and used
the word unwarrantable," as applied to his Lord-
ship's conduct. On which the Lord Mayor turned
to the Gentleman and said, " You came here pur-
posely to insult me."
The Deputation then withdrew, and his Lordship
himself shut the door, rather hastily, almost in the
face of the Gentleman who last left the room.

ntgstoNT-Tousa.—Thonsas Day, a shewman, who
has a booth in Bartholomew Fair, attended yesterday,
accompanied by an officer, upon the charge of hav-
ing fired a pistol of gunpowder at a boy's eye, through
a crevice in the canvass of his receptacle.
The officer, before the defendant made his ap-
pearance, stated to the LORD MAYOR, that the skew-
man was below, covered up in a coach, and could
not be brought up without great inconvenience to
Mosey: His Lordship sent down his compliments,
and begged the favoer of an interview.
Soon after Mr. Day's name was called out, and
room was made, but although it was said that the de-
fendant was present, he was invisible to the LORD
MAYOR, who looked round him with an inquisitive
eye fr.r some Foments.
His Lordship asked where Mr. Day was ?
g, Here," uttered a voice like that dm frog, " I
am Mr, ay !"
The eyes of the hearers were directed to the spot
from whence the voice was beard, but nothing was to
be seen. At last one of the officers stooped down,
and catching hold of something in one hand, raised
it up, and placing it on his arm, exhibited the com-
lete epitome of a man.
The LORD MAYOR, after his astonishment had sub-
sided, said, he was sorry to hear that Mr. Day had
so violently broken the peace, and begged to know
what provocation had induced him to blow gunpow-
[ der in a boy's eyes ?
Mr. Day addressed the LORD MAYOR in the most
theatrical manner :-be declared, that he had been
molested by so many boys, with whom the unfor-
tunate size of his body threw him upon an equality,
that his life was really miserable. He had entertained
some fears that a set of these tormentors had devised
a plan to carry him off [a plan not at all impracti-
cable, as he appeared to be not much larger than a
quartern loaf l] He had, therefore, provided himself
with a little gunpowder, with the view of frightening
hi; persecutors, who had already cut several holes in
his booth, to the great prejudice of his business. He
fired his pistol on this occasion, and unhappily hurt
the complainant; but he had not intended it, and was
ready to remunerate him.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I have no objection ;
but although you are small, you must not think your-
self so highly privileged. You may knock a man of
six feet down, if you like ; but you must not blow
either his brains or his eyes out.
The father of the boy attended, and stated, that as
the little man had expressed his sorrow for his con-
duct, and had agreed to make some reparation, he
was not disposed to prosecute. Mr. Day was, there-
fore discharged.
GusLnitALL.—Sequel to the Disturbances in St.
Andrew's CAurch-yard.—Our Readers will remember
a disgraceful disturbance in the Church-yard of St.
Andrew, Holborn, in the early part of June last, in
consequence of the refusal of the Parish Officers,
(there being no Rector at that time) to permit the
body of a Mrs. Gilbert to be interred, on account of
its being enclosed in an Iron-coffin. The question
on the propriety of the refusal has since been before
the Court of King's Bench, on a motion for a Man-
damus to compel the Churchwardens to permit the
interment, but the Court refused the Rule, upon the
paind that the subject was wholly withiu the juris-
diction of the Ecclesiastical Court : the cause is still
pending in that Court. The corpse is still unbu-
ried, and remains in the bone-house of St. Andrew.
As soon as the list of prisoners had been gone
through yesterday, Mr. Brtdgeman, the Patentee of
the Iron-coffins, made his appearance in the front
the table, and addressing the Magistrate, Alderman
JOSHUAJONATHAN SMITH, stated, that he had as
application to make of a peculiar nature :--he then
proceeded to say,. that he had been taken into cus-
tody at the instance of Mr. Buzzard, the Church-
warden, and other Parish Officers, in St. Andrew'i
-yard; for no other reason that he was aware
fat of his refusing to cause the tofu, with
in it; to be removed from the Church-
.; that he was conveyed to the Compter, where
remained all night, and that he was brought up

tions with alacrity. One of them had the cruelty!,
