We take the following article from late num-
Der of the London Morning Chronicle. The
controversy related bears near resemblance to
the Washington Eaton case. There was no idea

tween the Lord Mayor and the Recorder, at the
Court of Conservancy held at the Swan, at West
minister Bridge. before the Navigation Barge
went up the river. 1t had been observed, before !
his Lordship and the High City Officers left Lon
don, that the Recorder appeared, contrary to the
usual practice, in the dress Of private ndividu-

Of this circumstance no notice was taken. The
learned gentleman, however, exhibited very de.
cided symptoms Of displeasure before the Court
Of Conservancy, held at Southwark. broke up. The
short passage through the water to Westminster
Bridge, instead Of cooling, greatly aggravated his
sore feelings. which at length gave themselves
vent in the presence of the Conservancy Jury at
the above mentioned tavern.
The learned Recorder, addressing himself to
the Lord Mayor. said" My Lord Mayor, lean

Lordship has most grossly, aud beyond all en-
