The room and the passage leading thereto were crowded, and a wish was expressed for an adjournment to a more commodious place, but considering the lateness of the hour and also that a large public meeting would be held on the following night, at the Victoria Rooms, it was not deemed desirable.

(Hear, hear.) My duty is very simple, because I saw the disease was so contagious that you took fire before I got my head within the door with his lordship. Therefore, I have simply to announce that the Lord Mayor of London is present and will be very glad to make a few remarks. …
