LO A DO IV :

'when those who do not agree with me now shall have
• better opplwtunity of examining my conduct, I
think I shall have their good wiA and approbation."
Mr. S. Dsxos neat came forward, and with some
-difficulty obtained a hearin2.. Ile a.id, he flattered
himself he was about to address them on a subject,
which once for a wonder, they would all agree in,
'namely.* •ote bf thank; to their late Sheriffs. Whet'
those Gentlemen came into •ffice, they were per-
fectly unknown to hint; end he knew-little awe%
them now, except that they had just gone through a
vound of arduous duty in the mlllll exemplary man.-
Per. Daring the late contested election, it must he
allowed on all sides, that their conduct was as fair and
impartial, as that of any who had.ever filled a simslar
station before then+. They must also, all agree,'
that there never were two men who were more fitted
by nature to be colleagues; and they might learn
from their example, that little men might have great
capacities and trod hearts, for they had attended
'most assiduously to the state of the several prisons,
and had by their kindness arid liberality,, rendered
every prisoner as happy as his situationwould ad-
mit of. Ile then moved. that the thaoltiOf thiCorn.
moo-Hall be given to the late Sheriitafr-('f cry of
" Put then: separately.") Ile said, b'd would pro-
ceed in his own way.
Mr. .IsIIIS4ELTON seconded the motion; and duel
vote was carried.
Sir G. Aincescifc, okra tittgel
came forward. Ile regrPted tellingly, that he
_did not see his Worthy Colleen; there, who would
have expressed the high sense they bOth must feel at
the hOitour bow conferred on them. It, therefore,
become his duty, to return them thanks for this high
mark of their confidence and approbation. It was
non a year since he entered on office, end during
that time he had zealously and anxiously endeavour.
ed to support the rights of the City, es far as his own
-official duty was concerned; and al..° to bring back
thrise who bed trespassed upon it by other authori-
ties. To the Lord Ma, or, Aldermen, and the other
branches. of the Corporation, he hid to return his
thanks for It .ir kindness whilst lie had been in
Offir.. 11. hail come Almost a stranger among them,
and unknown; yet they had honoured him with a
high situation in the City, anti he tooklesve of them
by witting them health and happiness,
nod to tl,e City of Lottrinst continued prosperity.—
(Applause had no pretensions to higher ho.
non's, hut if ever his rellois"..eitlieesshoild.coll upon
him for his services, he should ready 'to obey their
•
call. ,
Mr. &UNWELL then Came feriievd with a paper in
his hand, as if ebool to move s 1104111000. He saint
he had now to reotte%t their attention to. the conduct
of their present Sheriffs.
