purposes of the blegistrary : and the Court of Al.
dermen will call on the Chamberlain, and if he re.
feted, then application should be made to the Ceara

they ref.'s to pay, for the Court of Aldermen were
their best Needs ?—(Laughlor.)--ile would at the

As to the name of me Worthy Aldermen being joie-

Mr. Alderman WAITHIIIIII was astonished to beer
