EXTRAORDINARY PitOCERDINGS.
Immediately on the entrance of the reporters,
Mr. Alderman Ev Ns rose and said, before you proceed to
the business of the. day, I hope I way- be allowed to notice a
most libellous attack which has' been made on one of the Coun-
cil, and put forward in the papers as a speech of one our own
body, at Kirkdale. We have lately heard complaints of the
inaccuracy of reports of speeches made in thii room and if in-
accuracy exists where the gentlemen of thepressliave every
advantage, we may well suppose that speeches delivered where
they have not those advantages, have not been accurately.re-
ported. I therefore trust, that we shall find tho,speech which
is contained iu this newspaper, (holding in his hand the Liver-
pool Standard of Friday last,) and put forward as'that of Mr.
James Heyworth, may be not only a finis-report but a perver-
lion. (Hear.) I cannot allow myself to think,—l can scar-
cely believe, that any gentleman a member of this body, would,
whatever might be the excitement of the protracted festivities,
(hear, hear,)—that ho would so far forget himself as to employ
the terms I shall now read to the Council. We have here "a
servile majority," "deep dishonour," "political cabal," and
" paltry cowardice." (Hear, hear.) I believe such an accumu-
lation of epithets was never applied to any public body by the
most violent partisan. This speech also concludes with what I
must term a bravado, "that be would, when opportunity offered
say the same when in the presence of the Council." 'Vhe op-
portunity now offers for Mr. Heyworth to do so; and I trust
he will avail himself of it to state, if he wishes, any thing of
what he is represented to have said.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HETWOIITH, immediately rose, and
advancing to the Council table, said, Mr. Mayor, will you fa-
vour me with that paper? (The paper was then handed to him.)
I have to object altogether to the statement niade by Mr. Evaus,
as being perfectly irrelevant to the duties of this Cuomo!'
Couucil,—l know nJt by what law such a course of proceeding
has been adopted. Am Ito consider that this is a court of judi-
cature, to inquire into the conduct of any of its.members ? Ant
I to suppose that it has mixed with its political character some-
thing- of a judicial oue,—that -this enquiry and' investigation
into the motives and into the conduct of any of its members is
one of its duties? If so,—if my. language is to be criticised- in
the manner in which it has been, I have a right to demand by
what law it is so criticised in this Council. I surely
,tnight,- if
chose to adopt retaliative measures, bi in;; to recollection some
expressions that had been used in this Council, such as I do not
approve of, and far exceeding any thing which I have stated.
Have I a tight, or have I not, to state those expressions, follow-
ing the example which has heert,-Set-here- in this Council? I
Would gladly abstain from such a course ofproceeding,•because
I should have to comment on the language of gentlemen pre-
sent, and on the language of your Chairman, in a manner wrich
would be unpleasant to me. But if lam pushed to it, I Must
claim the right to express my opinion of those statements. 'But
I will waive such a proceeding, I do not wish to do it until I aiu
called upon.
Mr. Councillor kAWDON, in an audible whisper to Alder-
man Robinson, " What thedevil has this to do with it ?"
Mr. Councillor James .Ilev wottali.—l beg I may not be in-
terrtipted. Mr. Evans was not interrupted.
Mr. Councillor RawooN.--" What I said was in a whisper."
Mr. Alderman EYANS.—I wish to know, in the first instance,
whether you have a right to enter into this matter at all?
The MAYOR—(amidst )nuch confasion)-1 took the liberty
of, saying something on a former occasion, when the reporters
had misrepresented me. I think, if those expressions have
been uttered out of doors, any member may take exception to
them.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTI.I.—Your ease and mine
are very different. You had a right to say what you did, be.
cause you were misrepresented,. _I. do not say that I have beau
misrepresented.
The Maroc.—You are allowed to make what observations
you like, and to state any thing respecting my conduct you
choose, as vou have just now stated that you had something to
say about it. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES iIEYWORTH.—Have you any law or
right to investigate into this matter in this council?
The Mayon.—l have given my answer. (Great confusion.)
Mr. Councillor Jamas HEYWORTII.—WiII you show me sour
right? (Cries of " Oh, oh !" and increased confusion.)
The MAYOR.—I will take the sense of the council upon it.
(Loud cries of" Hear, hear, hear.")
Mr. Councillor James ZYWORTEL—That will not do: (In-
creased confusion.) •
The Mayoa.—l hope Common-sense will do. I have' given
my opinion. I cannot say more. (Loud erica of " Hear.")
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTII.I require to be shown
that law for this plain reason :—you must have a law that is
violated before you can accuse a man. What law have I vio-
lated? (Much confusion.)
Mr. Councillor COG LAN.—There is another law—the law of,
honour—a principle which ought to influence every member.
Mr. Heyworth has made a serious attack on the members of
this council; and I should consider it as a point of duty and
honour for him to say that the sentiments he is reported to have
uttered on that occasion were the sentiments he really felt, or
that the report was a misreport. We should then know what to
do. '!'here is a law of honour which-I trust that gentleman will
avail himself of on the present occasion. I merely suggest that
as the line of policy which he ought to adopt.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTH.—Mr. Coglan has taken
the liberty of interrupting me. He has appealed to a law of
honour. My dear sir—(A complete storm of cries of "Chair,
chair," " Mayor, mayor,")---I beg your pardon, Mr. Mayor.
Do you think I am less careful of the rule of honour than any
member in this room? (Inconceivable confusion, which almost
rendered the voice of the speaker inaudible.)
The Mayoe.—l have delivered my opinion that you have a
perfect right to enter into any explanation. The subject has a
right to be brought before the council. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear, hear.") If these expressions were used, they are dis-
respectful to the council, and any gentleman has a right to
bring them forward. (Reiterated cries of " Hear.") There-
fore it remains for you either to deny them, or to ackuowledge
them, as you think fit.
Mr. Councillor itamtuositi.-1 presume we 'have no lavi to
that effect.
The Mavon.—l have given my opinion, as chairman, what
Mr. Ho/worth has to do. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES II nywoturn.—Then I beg to state,
that in what is reported in this paper, substantively anci.sub-
stautially there is nothing but what I have previously stated in
this assetnbfy. The phraseology used fur clothing the ienti-
!milts maybe different, and I think is different. But with-re-
gard to the opinions promulgated in that speech, they vary very
little, if at all, from what I have stated to ynu before. I have
stated to you that I conceived that a great dishonour had been
done to the council—notice the word—councillors are used in the
report—l did say that in the meetings, held at the Angel Inn,
of the members of this council, to predetermine on subjects to
bediscttssed in the council, the deliberative character of this
body had been affected; that it was quite impossible that indi-
vidual members of this council could come prepared to give
their opinions, with the same freedom and independent exer-
cise of judgement, as they would have done if they bad come
without that antecedent meeting. I maintain the same opinion
still. Mr. Alderman Evans has given you certain strong words
that were used in this speech ;but you know very well how
esparte statements may• alter the character of an expression.
It-is for this very reason that I have advocated the use of the
whole Bible in the schools. (A complete storm of ejaculations
followed this declaration, with cries of " Question.") I have a
perfect right to use this line of argument. (The uproar and
confusion here became so great as completely to drown the
voice of the speaker.)
The MAYOR interposed. He said, I think it is better that
Mr. Heyworth should go on his own way.
- - -

Mr. Councillor J A 14E3 LIEYWORTH, when order had been
restored.—l would only appeal to the appointment of your
servants in proof of what I said regarding the political nature
of this council, and I would ask who have been elected to these
offices?
~(The Mayor, with great precipitation, " We are now
on the subject of your speech.") Is it not an absolute proof
from the opinions of those appointed that the appointments are
of a political character? (Great uproar and contusion. amidst
which the voice of the Mayor was heard; saying " Those words
that are objectionable?" Mr. Heywerth continued.) I don't
know that they were the exact words I said. I was only ,going
to show you what was intended to be conveyed by what I utter-
el. lam charged with libelling this public body in a manner
that was without precedent in such cases. Did not O'Connell
call the entire members of the House of Commons a parcel of
rascals. (Great uproar.) I state this to show that there have
been such precedents. Has he not branded all your wives and
daughters as prostitutes? (Loud cries of " No, no!" and tre-
mendous confusion.) And this man you have taken into your
arms and given a dinner to. (Renewed confusion.) In the
observations which I made I did not mean to reflect on any in-
dividual councillor. I said then what I say now, that the town
had been dishonoured and insulted by the party meeting of
councillors at the Angel Inn. If I had come forwards with
some expressions which were not strictly such as you could ap-
prove of—which were not quite so gentle and so palatable as
you could wish, surely, under the circumstances in which they
were uttered, some little allowance might have been made for
the excitement of the moment. But I say, with the exception
perhaps of the language and phraseology in this paper, I have
nothing to retract—the sentiments here expressed were pre-
cisely what I uttered. kMuch confusion.)
The MAYOR.—I suppose it is the clothing that is objected to ?
Mr. Councillor LAWRENCE HEYWORTH said, I am perfectly
ready to believe my brother was not aware of the words that
were used on the occasion. He never premeditates a speech.
lithe expressions were too strong. he has now said quite enough
to retract them. I cannot but consider this attack as an indi-
vidual persecution. (Continued confusion.)
Mr. Councillor J. Hey woern.—Although this is a friendly
interference on the part of a very worthy brother of mine, I
disclaim being taken under his protection. So long as I re-
main in-this council- I must stand-on my own right of pro
tecting those 'opinions-
what he
. and principles of which my conscience
uuAkiiru.dc feeling alinGyEiitt‘N- idsuianlrii!
approves. I hope I shall never be guilty of any expression of
'ne'wenisthed(Ctoriels:noofw"
thought of the appointment of Messrs. Okill, Ellis, and Shuttle-
worth? They were not of the party of the council?
Mr. Councillor LAWRENCE II EYWORTIL—My brother is not
called on to answer your questions (Uproarious confusion.)
Mr. Councillor Conr.asi rose amidst deafening cries of
" spAe," " spoke." He said, I was in hopes when the gentle-
man was called on to state—(spoke, spokel—when he was
called ou to give an explauatien of the sentiments he was re-
ported to have uttered, that he would have come forwards in a
very ilifferent manner and in a very different spirit to what ho
has dune. Ile has stated, and if he feels .he is -correct—if he
feels he is right, it does him great eredit.for the manly avowal
he has made. Ile has stated that, substantively, what he felt on
that occasion he feels now, and he sow intends it. Now, if these

to have voted for him. I did net hear a ,H.y other propose.) of
the eloquence of the member fur Evortou (Mr. Jas. Ilevworth,)
but perhaps it was thought that some plain; home-spoken into
of business, who had some tune to spare for the improvements
which were going Ou in the town, would be preferable. "rhey
wanted nu poetic effusions—no Parnassian flights • they wanted
men of business, and therefore overlooked that talented gentle-
man. (Loud cries of " Hear.'.) A charge has been made
- that deep dishonour has been indicted on every councillor in
the town—
Mr. Councillor .TAMES HErwonni.—l deny it, sir; I have
explained that point ; the word I made use of was council.
Mr. Councillor COGLA N.—l ant very glad to find that I was
wr:mg. He says it is no use urging any subject here with a
servile majority against them. Who sends the members here
but the people ? But perhaps the gentleman thinks that only
17 of his party are here who represent the distinguished classes
of society. He says, that to adopt the line of policy we have
adopted an act of paltry cowardice. Where was the cowardice
in our meeting together? We met, as I stated, fur a particular
Purpose; but, even taking it at his own showing, where is the
cowardice? May it nut be taken as an act of prudence in these
40 men meeting to4etlier? Might they not have felt the power
—the dignity—the force—the genius or t he 10 who were elected
to protect the altar and the throne ? (Great applause.)
Mr. Councillor LAWRENCE H HYWOIITH here rose and said—
I must call to order. I cannot see how we have the right to
discuss questions here which have been urged out of doors.
' (Great confusion.)
The Mayou.-1 think we may go on.
Mr. Councillor Couba N.—lt should go forth to the public that
these statements are nut correct in that attack on the council.
rThere was an attempt made here to brin, forward a charge that
an attack was mule upon the Bible. We have had enlightened
men, who stand as high as Mr. Hayworth, with contrary opi-
nions. We have had the statements of Mr. Blackburn and of
Mr. Rathbone that the Bible is not sacrificed.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTH here ruse to speak, when
ho was interrupted by
The Alarm:, who sail—l think Mr. Coglan is now answering
some observations that you have made. You introduced the
question of the Bible. ,(Great confusion and uproar.) I think
, he has a perfect right to reply to those observations.
Air. Councillor LAWRENCE HEY WORTH.—Then I will here-
after reply to every speech that is uttered out of doors. (Up-
roarious confusion.)
The MAYOR.—WiII you allow the discussion to proceed?
(with great vehemence.) Your brother introduced the subject
which Mr. Coglan was replying to. 1 ant only very sorry that
it was ever introduced by your brother.
Mr. CoGLAN.—I shall proceed (amidst great confusion.)
The M A yoa.—Certainly.
Mr. Coc LAN.—If Mr. Hey worth's brother had said that he was
sot ry for what he had said, the matter would have ended. But he
has said that it is substantively the same as he spoke. I feel it my
duty to state distinctly that the charge here made, that the Bible
is sacrificed, is not true. I will not use a stronger phrase. But
it is essentially necessary that it should go abroad that the plan
of education adopted is the same as in any school in this coun-
try; that the Bible is communicated whole and entire to the
protestant children. Therefore those who say that' the Bible is
sacrificed have stated what is not true; and I hope that Mr.
Hayworth will feel himself Hund to come forwards and say, if
he has visited those schools, that the Bible is there taught whole,
e,aire, and !umnutilated, and that no sacrifice has been made for
party purposes. I shall not trespass longer on your time; but
think it is of the first importance to the dignity of the Com-
mon Council that no individual should take an advantage of an
opportunity out of doors to state such a calumny—such a gross
calumny against them, which, if true, would sink them in the
public estimation. The whole statement is untrue and un-
justifiable.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTH again rose, but was as-
sailed with a complete storm of cries of "Spoke, spoke." When
they had a little abated, he said—No, no, that will not do. I
submit to you I have the right now to stand here in my defeuce.
The Mayne.—l am very sorry really that this discussion has
taken place.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEY WORTIL—SO was I. (A great
uproar.)
The MAYOR.—I hope for your protection (to the council).
It has generally been considered that a gentleman could only
speak once, except in explanation.
Mr. Councillor JtMas HEYWORTH.—Mr. Mayor, you will
consider this a widely different case from the ordinary rule you
have laid down. Here ant I attacked first by one councillor,
and then by another, and charged in a manner which I think
shows neither much temp, r, much good feeling, nor much good
sense in those who have brought it ; and, surely, I may be al-
lowed to stand up in defence of my own opinions. The coun-
cillor for St. Anne's ward, (Mr. Coglan) has stated that gentle-
men did not come bound by any particular line of conduct pre-
viously entered into at the Angel Inn, to vote in any certain
direction. I can only infer that they came so predetermined on
the authority of an individual present at the meeting • and beg it
to be understood that it was neither of my brothers Who made the
communication to me. I was informed that every member of
the Dock committee, appointed by this council, was appointed
pre-determinately at the Angel Inn; and I think I have a
strong corroboration of that circumstance from seeing a card in
the hands-of a member, on which were the names of every
one of the members chosen. There was some resolution that
was previously determined upon it was evident, because, al-
though all those members on the card were liberal members,
when other liberal members were proposed in the council as
' amendments on those pre-determined names, they rose in quick
succession and declined the honour; evidently showing that
there was a predetermination entered into at the Angel Inn.
This is a fair exposition of my meaning, when I said, " men
came bound hand and toot;" and as to the numbers spoken of
so assembled at the Angel Inn, if that meeting was an unjusti-
fiable one, I do not see that it is a matter of much consequence
whether the number be frittered down to 20; but I had it on
authority that the number was about 40; and the names of
those fixed upon for the guidance of the dock estate were
chosen at that meeting. I ask you—l 'ask the whole town—
whether it is necessary that there should have been this previous
meeting. I grant that soiree discussion may be had at these
meetings, but it is not fair that those of my political opinions
should not attend them. They had as much right to be there
as any members of the council. There is one thing which is
not announced at all—the -manner in which that meeting was
convened. Am I right, or am I wrong in stating that that
meeting was convened by the Secretary of the Reform Associ-
tion ? (Loud cries of " No, no.") Then if lam wrong, I ant
wrong informed by a gentleman who was present at the meet-
ing. (Loud cries of " Name, name.") No; I will not name :
I should betray a confidence which I am not called on to do. If
I have brought myself into an unpleasant situation I will not bring
him into one. Ishould not have alluded to it if I had not been
charged with something very gross and offensive. Are your
circulars convening those meetings endorsed, on the back
" private," I ask ? If they are, does that correspond with the
Publicity we wish to give to our proceedings by having re-
porters at this table? (Great confusion and uproar.)
The MAYOR.-1 wish to make one observation ;it is, I wish
to draw these observations to a close. I look on it, that in this
circumstance of the Angel Inn, and this sort of work, we are
going from the charge of those words that were so offensive to
the council. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEY WOUTH.—" Political" was one
of those words—

The MAYOR, (interrupting) and it is on that point that the
council have demanded an explanation.
Mr. Councillor JAMES H sv onnt.—lt was in the course of
explanation when I was interrupted. Mr. Coglan has stated,
that that class of society with which he was connected are looked
upon by me by an aristocracy of feeling. I feel that the whole
family of man are one flesh and blood ; and I say, I have as
tender a sympathy fur the meanest individual of the town, as
any 1113.11 can have that brawls for "liberty." I will not have inv
conduct contrasted as though I felt no sympathy for the poor.
I feel for the poor as being the stable foundation of the great
prosperity of this country, but at the same time that I do say
this, I say that there are, by God's ordination, different rank's
of men to maintain the whole fabric of society, which no law
can destroy. (Here the uproar was renewed, amidst loud cries
of •‘ question.")
The MAYOR.—Come to the point. (Hear.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEyWORTH.—I will come to the point.
I haw: told you before, I was sorry this question should have
been mooted. I would not express-1 never intended to express
any unkind feeling to the members of this council. To sub-
stantiate what I said further; I feel that the whole onus lies on
my own shoulders. The word " cabal," if I used it, could only
have the meaning of a large number of gentlemen performing out
of doors duties which ought to be performed within these walls.
It is a cabal in another sense. Notes were distributed from the
table by Mr. Rathbone, by one of your own servants. I ask
if these letters were distributed, and by whose orders ? I con-
tend that no public servant (1 allude to Mr. Crooke) ought to
deliver partially, any letters to this council without delivering
to all. (Great confusion.)
The MAYOR (vehemently).—This is not the matter in ques-
tion. The words, the words; to the point. It is to the point of
those offensive words.
Mr. Councillor JAMES HayWORTIL—I have explained them.
Thc MAYOR.—If you have explained them satisfactorily we
will go on. (Great confusion.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEY won Tis.—l shall leave the sub-
ject, as I see such a torrent against me. I couid have said
much more, and something relating to the chair itself. (Mr.
Hevworth then sat down, amidst indiscribable confusion.)
'l'he avog.—l shall be most happy to hear it. (Hear.)
Mr. Councillor JAMES HEYWORTIL—No; I forbear. (Loud
indistinguishable cries.)
The sisowit.—l should wish to know if the council have
thought my proceedings on this occasion proper. (Hear, bear.)
I have endeavoured strictly to call Mr. Heyworth's attention
to the offensive words used, not as to any political meetings,
for I belieVe, that the gentlemen opposed to us. in politics, had,
a meeting also. At the last meeting a gentleman whom I don't
see here, drew out a resolution from his pocket, which I cer-
tainly did not see hive write here. (Loud cries of " hear.") -
Mr. Councillor LAWRISNCE Heywoims rose and was assailed
with a complete storm of cries of "spoke, "spoke."
The MA YOR.-1 hope in the particular situation in which Mr.
Heyworth stands that he will be allowed to speak.
Mr. LAWRENCE HEY WORTH,—order having been somewhat
restored, then said, I must say 1 utterly condemn the conduct
of the member for St. Ann's Ward, (Mr. Coglan). Mr. Evans
brought forward some offensive words. My brother explained
those words. Mr. Coglan not satisfied with that must proceed
to the matter and not the words. This must lead on to an in-
terminable discussion if proceeded with. lam persuaded if we
take notice of every thing that transpires relating to this Coun-
cil we shsl never have done. If he stated what ties not cor-
rect, it was very proper to ask for an explanation and to retract
what was wrong. but Mr. Coglau should go to the place where
they were uttered and there discuss the question. To bring the
question here will leadou to interminable discussions in matters
with which we have nothing to du. There is one snore observe-
tiou I wish to snake; it is this, my brother says he has private
information of the meetings at the Angel. I 'don't know whe-
ther my brother has acquitted me of giving it. (" Yes," " yes.")
I say that I have never communicated any thing to him, what-
ever I may do.
Mr_ Councillor RATIiiiONE.—I wish to say one word.

Council is shown in bringing forward the report before the
Council to allow of the retraction of such exceedingly offensive
expressions. And . I suppose if a gentleman would say that
under the excitement of festivities, he would be glad of explain-
ing it away. Now I thick it is very desirable, therefore, that that
opportunity should be affordedto that gentleman to state that he
did not intentionally mean what appeared in the press. I hope
that explanation will not be abandoned when the proceedings
assume so black a character as that did. Mr. Heyworth did
