Presentation of the Address of the Corporation of London to Her Majesty, in St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, 1850. The City of London, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge...laid before their Sovereign the expression of their indignation at the endeavour by the Bishop of Rome to exercise a power which the realm of England has almost ignored...The Corporation...had the honour of being first introduced to her Majesty [Queen Victoria], who was seated at the end of St. George's-hall, with her court around her. Among those on the right of the throne were Lord John Russell, Sir G. Grey, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Marcus Hill, the Marquis of Anglesey; the Ladies in Waiting, and two pages of honour, stood on the left, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert received the addresses and presented them to her Majesty'.
