Mayor's perambulation of the City bounds: Thursday 22 September 1853
Mayor: John Crews Dudley
The following article was published in Jackson's Oxford Journal on 24 September 1853. The Mayor provided a ball after the perambulation at 10pm at the Star Assembly Room in Cornmarket. There is a suggestion that this may have been the last time the city bounds would be inspected, but in fact the event took place again seven years later in 1860.
