The Lord Mayor reading the News of the Victory on the Alma at the Sheriff's Inauguration Dinner, at the London Tavern, 1854. News of the Crimean War reaches London. 'The Inauguration Dinner of Mr Alderman Muggeridge and Mr. C. D. Crossley, the recently-elected Sheriffs for London and Middlesex, took place...at the London Tavern [and] was rendered memorable on this occasion by the announcement to the assembled guests of the glorious victory obtained by the Allied armies in the Crimea. This joyful intelligence elicited demonstrations of enthusiasm, indicated by loud, general, and repeated cheering on the part of the company...[The Lord Mayor said that he] could conceive no event more important than the fall of the Crimea at the present time, because he believed it would be fraught with blessings and advantages to the whole of the civilised world (Cheers)'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
