I ~7 a~~ i3ostcrtpt- LONDON, AioNDAY, SEPTEMBFR '27. Three o'clock, p. m. We received the first part of the proceedings before the Coroner's Jury held at Oldham, on the body of John Lees, one of the victims of the bloody 16th of August, at too late an hour to give the whole of them. ‘Ve feel it however, to be of such importance that we shall conclude them at full length next week. - Since the fatal day, we Lave had'an almost unvaiied task of condemning the conduct of Magis trates, Soldiers, (we beg parlor, we mean the Man chester Yeomanry, who, if to f:rio the ch..racter of a Soldier be needed Courage, and its uniform attend. not Mercy, arc no Soldier.), Coroners, and Consta bles, and with pleasure do we change our note to do justice to Mr. Fcrrnnd, the Coroner on the Old- Lam inquest. His booby of a clerk had by his conduct created a prejudice in our minds against the toaster, which, however, has been entirely removed by Mr. Forrand's upright, manly, honest, honour able, and gentleman'y conduct on this occasion.

I had no conversation ik uh him by which it appeared that he was aware of his approaching death. I cannot exactly state what was the cause of his death.— I did not see any wounds or bruises. 1 did not examine him. but other people did; I can only state my opinion as to the cause of his death : I um generally at home overlooking the factory ; he led a sober life • he might get something now and then on Saturday nights after his work.; but he was in general as regular as any man in this town.
