IMPORTANT C.ISE xeL.trlrs ro POOR RATES.

61711.1)4A t.t..—The decision of the Sating Magistrate
at this Justice Room, for the last aid the pre.-e.liog
week, has been called for, upon a question as to the
jurisdiction of the City of Loudon, in the case of a Mr:
residing at No. it, Furnival's Inn Court, Hol-
born, whose house has been for many years assessed,
both for Parliamentary and Parochial Haw, in the
city liberty of the parish of St. Andrew's [Whom.
Mr. Pclser learning that a former proprietor hail art-
ual!y voted at the election of Members of Parliament
for the County, ti• freeholder of the house, and that
such vote was aLoired by the Committee of the House
of Commons, tietermineil to resist upon this point
the payment of his Poor Rates. In this shape
the question cattle first before Alderinin 11r and
subs quently before Alderman Wood, upon the Is-arin4
of the summons idnained by the parish iitli.ters againsl,
Mr. Paiscr for so refusing to pay the rate assessed. Mr.
Alderman Wood, on Saturday last, in concurrence
with the opinion of the Magistrate's legal adviser,
Mr. Payne, ultimately refused to grant the ..varrant of
distress, upon the ground that the parish o;licers must '
shew that the house was within the city, and• within
the jurisdiction of a City Magistrate, to entitle them
to claim the interference of his auttinrity:. Mr. Pal-
sees arg,ument is that his house it in the county of
Middlesex, and conseqnently that h, is not liable to he
assessed to a rate fir the rtlief and maintetrance of the
poor of that part of the parish•of St. Andrew, wilier
lies below the bars in the lily of London. To thie it
was replied on the part of the parish, that Ftrrnival's
Inn Court has been heretofore considered as within the
City Liberty of St, Andrea's and altrays assessed
therein; in confirm ation of which Mr. Johsou, the
Vestry Clerk,. produced a rive 'beak of nearly eighty
' yeses back,' in whielt this identical home was ass-ssed
to their parish, the then occupier being the Hight
Unutterable Lind
.Cooke. Hs therefore contended
that the-fate am( he.tiiken to be a legal assessment.

-COMAMICHALL.
ELECTION OF THE LORD MAYOR.
On Saturday a Common Hall was held, for the put.
pose of electing a Mayor for the ensuing year. The " ,
hall was much crowded by one o'clock, at which time '
the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several Aldermen;
and the city officers, ascended the platforan.. Hie. Lor-
dship was loudly cheered, as were also Alderman
Woo.), Waithman, and Magnay. Mr. Alderman
Heygate was received with marks of disapprobation.
The appearance of Sir William Curtis produced p-roar
of disapprobation, which the worthy Baronet, le usual,
returned by smiling obeisances:
As soon as the worthy Aldermen bad taken their
seats, the crier called ',silence," and the Recorder
advanced, and, addressing the assemkly, said they
were now collected tozether for the purpose of ever,
cising one of their greatest privileges—namely, that
of electing a Lord. Mayor for the ensuing year. Sere-
' ral names would be pat up, alit of which it would, be
for the Lliery twchoote twq:persona, whO would be
submitted to the Court of Aldermen for the selection
of one to fill that high and important office. He him.
selfentertAined no doubt bat that the Livery would
make a choice of two proper persons.-;-(Applause.)
Alder man Garrett and 'enables, the two new She-
riffs, now advanced towards the front of the hustings,
and the Common Sergeant standing between them
said, the worthy Recorder having. told them the ob-
ject for which they were aisembletl, it now became his -
duty to read over to the Livery the names of those per-
who were to be proposed, and out of whom two were •
to he chosen. Hach person could be put separately, and
those upon whom the election fell would be submitted
to the Court of Aldermen fur their decision. The
names to he proposed were those of Alderman Afar.
Hevgate, Cox, and Waithman.
The Crier.—" All those who are not Liverymen
must now depart the ball on pain of impr:sonment."—
(Loud laughter.)
he Common Crier afterwards put to the vote the
above-mentioned names. For Al.!ermatt Magnav there
was a vury large slow of hands arrintipanied wit). con-
siderable applause. For Alderman Ileygate not more
we think, titan 511 ha!ids were held np, and there was
ranch hissing. Not a single hand was raised in fa-
vour of Alderman Cox. The anntmlation of Al.ler-
man lVaithmaa's tianio called forth lend cheering% min-
gled with some disapprobation, and produced a show
of hands rather more numerous than that exhibited fur
'Alderman .%liQ.Pay.

The Couua,•n Sergeant then declared that in the oph.
nion of the ti!teriffs the show of bands was it, favour
of Mes.rs. Ald'rolen 31agnay and Waithnilli, who
would therefore be returned to the Court of Aldermen,
for that body to make choice of one of theta to serve in
the office of Morn;,
a.lr. Es-Slierilf PA RICINA here stepped op to addreas
the asseutbiy ; but was tuet,on his advance, by sue!) a
tempest of I,it,ses as convened Ws to refire.
The Loan IIA vvaa and Aldermen, attended by the
4tecorder and Common Setgeant, now retired to the
Court, in order to consider of the Election of the
Livery.

Mr. itx-Sheriii Nettles again presented himself
amidst deafening cries of "off, off!" bat this uneere- •
inonians reception did not prevent him from proceed-
ing. lie oisheal, he said, to oeenpv a short portion
of their attentiou (cries of "off, off:" with a few cries
-of " hear ") lie was determined to proceed in quite
of as their noise and rudeness, for he had come for the-
express purpose of prmioeing a gentleman as Mayor of
that city, who was wholly unconnected with either of
the factions which, ntifiniedly for the country, hail hi-
therto prevailed. lie had been told by the Law Offi-
cers of the City that be was too late to make such a
proposition. but lie was not to be pot off by legal
gaitables, nor seta he to be moved fram his purpose by
fiction or clametr. lie had been told that the 'lee-
, tile) was c mclnded, hut he would ail( whether the
election, as it was called, was nut a mere city trick ?
IVlarther it was not, in fact, rather a dictation than sn
? SJ far Irani the election being concluded,
to (.dr. He-Shedd: Parkins) affirmed that there hail
been n.i eleaiirn at all. The gentleman he meant to
propose was a person of revpectability, •nneonnected
with either of the parties which disgraced that great
and glorious city. The gentlemen whom they had
seen retire bad not gone away to considerof the fittest
person to be ChierMagistrate of the city, but to con-
firm the choice they had already made. Neither of
the two persons said to be elected was a proper per- •
son to fill the office, nor could their election be compa-
tible with the ends of justice. One of them bad lately
been in such embarrassed circumstances, that he could
not consider him a peoper person to administer the
/awe of that great city ; and the other said, in a public
aavertisement, that they were that day called upon for
the purpose of making a "selection" of a proper per-
-86.. Al r that high office. Therefore, he said, neither
of meat was a proper person—(Hisses.)—and though
lie Ilan beet. prevented by legal rinibbles from pro-
posing a person—(Cries of " name bin., name him.")— •
nothing shiatild prevent him from doing what he con-
sidered to be a duty. fie begged them to be silent,
for they would be astonished when they heard the
flaithitf* of tile individual he meant to propose ; he was a
in %ilia, I•y his honest industry, had been able to
leave off htts;fiess, and was not °bilged to attend the
styn.7~,,' the tool others—(Cries of "sham.'.")
.1k persist. on the Hastings called the speaker to order.
Mr. Eic-S:teriff PAKKINS.—IIow dare-
you tall meta
order, Sir:-1 intended to propose to you the naine of
an honest Man (cries of " name, name!") The gentle-
men he intended to propose was a tallow chandler,
end his name was Peti.r Piper—(laughter and billies.)
He begged their pardon, iie believed he had ride a
mistake ; ;be gentleman's name was not Peter Ptiiir,
but Pcler Skipper, and lived near the Tower.. lie was •
a very iespectehle man, and a most proper person to
represent the City of London, (Cries of "off, off!") He
thought that•when he took She triittbder & W speak ar.
;bey might Mire somewhat more deceney than oval
him with such roller cries. Ife-tame these twrectiM• I
