The next shots are taken from inside the Town Hall where Joseph is seated beside the Mayor who is making a speech; he gives Joseph a scroll and a box and then gets him to stand for the guests. Some of the Mayor's assistants who carry the ceremonial staff walk out of the hall followed by Joseph. There is a shot of the scroll which Joseph received.
