three suits of clothes on taking Office.
He wears a wide sleeved, velvet faced,
fur trimmed robe Of purple silk rep on
presenting himself to the lord chancel-
lor at Westminster; this he uses after
ward as police magistrate. For his
show he wears robe of superfne scar
let broadcloth, faced with sable fur and
lined with pearl satin; this he must
wear when greeting the judges at the
Old Bailey and on All Saints days.
The dress for evening and formal recep-
lions is a black danask satin robe. en-
broidered with silver gilt. Under these
he wears velvet coat and knee breech-
es. The robes are perquisites Of the office
and cost 81, 900. The chain of the Office
has Oh it diamonds worth 5000, 900, and
each lord mayor must give bonds for its
safe return on receiving it. When the

pretty writing desk, however, was more
than the sum in their possession. The
girls suggested that if the desk was
sent they would forward the balance as
soon as possible.

very decidedly, Informed the girls that
he could not do as they asked. "But, -
