CITY, n.

1. In a general sense, a large town a large number of houses and inhabitants, established in one place.

2. In a more appropriate sense, a corporate town a town or collective body of inhabitants, incorporated and governed by particular officers, as a mayor and aldermen. This is the sense of the word in the United States. In Great Britain, a city is said to be a town corporate that has a bishop and a cathedral church but this is not always the fact.

3. The collective body of citizens, or the inhabitants of a city as when we say, the city voted to establish a market, and the city repealed the vote.
