In reference the selection of thesix
ended to the Home Secretary by the
'2,rted in the commission of the peace, Mr. LLOYD agreed
roth the Mayor that no slight discourtesy had been offered
the Council by the present Home Secretary. Mr.
the had done the Council the courtesy of asking
• " if they objected to the names submitted, and in-
vite,
i„ them to recommend others. Six names were
he°2.limended by the Council. He would move that
ta;rnlayor should be requested to refer the Home Secre-
, to the communications between his predecessor in

and the Council with respect to the, appointment of
bVlßistrates for the borough.—Mr. FERNIHOUGH said the
~,ea of the gentlemen appointed were of high standing ;
e"" in a commercial town like Liverpool, it was not a
orrect thing to appoint two gentlemen who held a dif-
ferent Office and whose duties were 'of a higher nature,
tor
43nd to which, he fancied, the ought to be confined ;
he held that clergymen had y a different duty to perform,
and he thought it an extraordinary proceeding, in the pre-
eent day, that Liverpool should have cleren ap-
Painted to administer criminal and commercial law,
Which was so at variance with the offices of charity which,
according to his reading of religion, it was their prin-
%Pal and only duty to carry out. (Hear, hear.) It
:Was a very delicate thing ; but they would be wanting
duty if some prompt recommendation were not made.
