Hr. Taco—No.
The Alderman—Do you pay King's Taxes?
Mr. Taco—l pay all demands.
The Alderman—Are you ready to serve all Ward
Offices; such as Constable and Churchwarden ?
Mr. Taco-1 am ready to serve all offices but that
of executioner.
The ALDIMMANI cannot admit you to vote.
ai-
though 1 am sorry for it ; as 1 understand yen are a
good sort of man.
Mr. limas protested against this decision, which
would. however, be put in a course of adjudication.—
He contended that the questions put by the Worthy
Alterman were not authorised by the Act of Parlia-
ment, or at all applicable, particularly that relative to
the King's taxes.
The ALDIRMAN said he knew of no Act of Perlis,
sent that bound him in this case. It was one in which
he had nothing to do with any Act tel Parliament,
bat should go according to the custom of the City
of London. He was not bound by any Act of Parlia-
ment.
Yesterday the discussion upon this question was ro•
newed, when, after several authorities had been cited
by Mr. Eicke in support of the vote, the Worthy Alder-
man consented to admit it.

THE "CONSTITUTIONAL" PROSECUTION.
(VURTIIEN PARTICVLARB4
?HZ KING V. NARY ANNI GIRLIE[.
The Jury in this important case remained all night la
seclusion, without any food or any refreshment. About
half past 11 o'clock this morning a message was sent to the
Jury-room, to ascertain whether there was any prospect
of their speedily finding a verdict, but the answer bring
that there was as little prospect of their agreeing as at
the first moment of retiring, a sort of negotiation took
place upon the subject, as to what ought to be done. Mr.
Wintry appeared to be in conference with a Gentleman,
whom we noderstoo4l to be Mr. Longueville Clarke (son
of one of the King's Chaplains, and Auditor of the !loy-
al Naval Asylum), one of the Members of the Constitu-
tional Association. Mr. Clarke being a barrister, Mr.
Gurley said he could only take his instructions from the
attorney for the prosecution. Mr. Murray, the llonorary
Secretary of the A‘cociation, not being present, Mr.
Clarke said be would send for him, and he left the Court
1
for that purpose. In the interval Mr. tiurney spoke
with Mr. Cooper, the defendant's Counsel, and, is we
understood, asked his concurrence in a proposition that
the Jury should be discharged without giving a verdict.
Mr. Cooper. took the first opportunity of addressing
Mr. Justice llolroyd, the presidieg Judge, and said—lf
your Lordship is at Icivire, 1 wish to state, that in con-
sequence of an intimation which has been communi-
cated to your Lordship, that the Jury impaneled to try
Mary Ann Carlile yesterday, have been slant up for
nearly 24 hours, are still in deliberation, and are not
likely to agree, I am quite reatly, thinking it would be
cruelty to keep them longer confined, to consent that
the Jury should be discharged without returning a ler-
diet.
Mr. GURNET immediately rose—My Lord, as COMM)
for the prosecution, I take upon myself (thinking it
is due to the Jury so to do) to enntretit that they ',mold
be discharged without giving their verdict. 1 take upon
myself the res;'onsibility of it.
Mr. Justice ilotr.orn then desired the Jury to be
called in.
The lientl •men of the Jury then appeared in Court.
—ln their passage from the retiring room to the Court,
the Jury were londly cheered by the numerous specta-
tors who lii:ed the avenues, anxion,ly waiting the result
of the trial. Their names being called over,
Mr, Justice Hot..to-i:, adeirm,eil them an? said—Cco-
tletuen of the Jcry, by the eonsent of the Learned
,Counsel for the defeulaat. and :il.cuiset pf the Learned
Counsel for the prosecution, I mu extrerueli happy in
