The police courts of the City are held at the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor or an alderman sitting as magistrate, and at the Guildhall, where the aldermen preside in rotation.

The boundaries of these divisions do not in any way correspond with each other, or with the police divisions, or with the borough or parish boundaries.
