II appears that there has beeu within the
laR FIVE years, circulation of paper credit,
with the name Of Fordyce affixed TO il, to the
amount of four millions and upwards.
YeRrfday there was Common Hall for
the purpofe of declaring the election Of She
riff, for the-year enfuing when, fome time
previous 20 the opening, Captain Alien ad-
drelI-d the Livery from the gallery on the
right hand Tide leaving to the CouncllCham-
Der, TO The following purport
"That being prevented the preceding com
non Hall fIom having rhe inarueIons to
the City Representatives then yssrdsd, he
thought il ms duty as Lverymzn, and one
interefted in the welfare and PROPERTY Of
che city, to warn them againR fuch articles
on that day !; and as, from the frequent fpe-
cimens they had of the conduct of the Lord
Mayor, they had little TO hope. He there
fore warmly recommended to them TO have
the inlnaions recorded previous to any O.
ther buiinef being enses ed into."
The Sheriffs then Attended the hufings
whrn the fate of the poll was declared to be
in favour of Mr. Alderman Oliver, and
Watkin Lewes, Eiq; which being, as ufua!,
reported. the.Bord Mayor attended by Al
dermaa Rolener, Mr.. CommonSeIjeant and
the ShenGs opened the Court anew. AS
f6on as his Lordihip had taken his feat, Capt.
Allen applied to him to have the initruefions
recorded, which the other would not permit.
This refuf4l brought on the hafies and groans
Of the livery, at the fame time that the buff
neis of the election was declaring; which
Being finifhed, the Lord Mayor got up, and
Immediately went away.
As foon as his Lcrdihip was gone, Capt.
Allen addreded the livery in 1hort fpeech,
telling them, 50 that he had been, before the
opening of the Common Hall, apprehenive
Of what would happen ard that they
might blame themlelves for permitting any
bulineis to be done until their inRruetions
were firff attended to.
The Lord Mayor was on the huRings at
eleven O'Clock, which prevented the hall
from being 70 fuIlas might be expected, the
'iuluaI hour of his attendance being one o
clock; and 70 great hurry was he 10 to
be gone, that, as loon as the election was
declared, he went off without recolIeaing to
adjourn the hall, or giving ume 20 the she
riffs eIea 10 return thanks to the livery for
