WHO WAS THE FIRST

"LORD MAYOR?"

The title of Lord Mayor "slips glibly off the tongue, but no one can -tell us when the mayor became a "Lord Mayor or who arst enjoyed that dignity. The distinction was never conferred by a grant, and the claim by Lord Dartmouth's family that their remote ancestor, Thomas Legge, who was Mayor of London in 1354, was its first Lord Mayor is without cor- roboration.

Everyone knows, of course, who was the first Mayor of London. This was Henry Fittailwin, Do of the treasurers for raising Richard L'a ransom, and angor 121 1159. Up to that time the chief riagistrate "had been the

But mayer he remained till, at the end of the fifteenth century, people began to speak of the Lord Mayor. The earliest evidenes of it in literature is perhaps found in Bale (1551) faite Harry, my Lord Mayre's fool, and later in Rider (1359), The Lord Mayor or Chist Justice Praefectus,"

Meanwhile, the Mayor's prestige had been growing. King John required that every mayor on his election should be pre sented to him or in his absence, to his Justice, and in that year (1215) the first) mayor's procession to the palace took place. Today it is held for precisely the same purpose. The Edward III. gave permission to the mayor to have gold or ailver maces carried before him. The same king constituted him in 1997 the justice of the gaol delivery at Newgate. and as such he remains, taking his place beside the Judge at the Old Bailey. And still later, in the reign of Richard II, the poll tax of 1379 assessed him as an earl and the aldermen as barons. When the Sovereign enters the City the Lord Mayor wears the state robes of nearl

But we have not discovered yet why it was that people came at fast to call him the "Lord Mayor. No definite grant did it, and no man can be pointed to as having been the first Lord Mayor. But the explanation seems to be this. Tho custom gradually arose of prefixing"lord" to his ordinary style, just as it had arisen in accentuating such titles as Lord Justice, Lord Warden, Lord... High Admiral, Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Chancellor. It became an adjective of emphatic courtesy attached to high office In the old charters oven the King's Chris- tjan

Lord received it—thus. name Edward, King of England and France"- and it is most certain that the reason of the custom is found in the facts that the Mayor held un Earl's procedence, was the King's own Judge at Newgate, and as the same time, and especially, was mayor of no meng city.

The outdoor produced forty-six colonies of bacteria and seven of fungi.
