WIIITOOMBE. This was an indictment against the defendant, for mis conduct in the discharge of his office of Coroner—first, for unlawfully minim before him, before swearing in the Jury, divers person., and inquiring the means and man- Were of the death.of Mrs. Newton. Secondly, that before swearing in the Jury he conversed anti had communica tions with John Newton, the husban I. well knowing him to be suspected of having ceased the death of his wife, by violent means, and undertook to persuade the Jury be did sot cause the death by violent or unlawful means. The third, for the dismissal of twelve of Vie Jurymen. Fourthly, that Mr. Coles- examined the body of the de ceased. and bad deposed that there was a bruise and laceration in a certain part of the body, which was tile cause of the death, nevertheless that he (the Coroner) endeavoured to convince the Jnry the cause was different and oatitral. The fifth charge was. 'that th e Jury had opportunities of viewing the body of 'the deceased, but was p ted by him. Mr. hussars opend the moon the part of the Crown, bed called, the following witnesses : • Eliasbelh Ward HA she was the habit of visiting Nisetties. Mrs. Newton died on the gith January, at Apsley. On Wednesday the 27th, 1 way at Severa !fall ~~_. _ . _~ - ter :~ Anne Jones lives at Colmar Green, about a mile from Severn Hall.—After the death of Mts. Newton, the chil dren were sent to my house to be taken rare of. On that morning I went to Severn Hall. where I bad a daughter living in service. While I was going ■p stairs, I saw the Coroner come out of the room in which the body of Mrs Newton lay. I heard Mr. Newton, who was in the door-way of another room, speak to him. He said he hoped he would not make the worst of it. and he would satitfy him in any way, and thing. Mr. Wbitcombe said he did not know how it would be yet; I was going up the hark stairs at that time, and Mr. Wbitcumbe was going to the better stair,. Cross-examined.—My daughter was nnrsery maid ; she has been examined several times, and 1 went with her; it was at Bridgenorth. 1 was not examined before the Magistrate. 1 have sworn on paper what 1 have seated to-day. Sarah Lloyd.-1 live at Bridgenorth, and remember the day the inquest was taken. I saw Mr. %Vbitcombe on chat day. He asked me what time Mrs. Newton died? 1 told him on Wednesday night. He then said he was very wet, and wanted to dry his clothes. After that he asked if Mrs. Newton had any marks of violence about her, and I mentioned a very bad black rye, a cot on the lip, mark on the breast, another on the hand, and on the leg. 1 told him Mrs. Newton was gone in the family way about six months, and that my mistress had told me so. He asked me who was the first who came to her? I told him Mary, and he desired me to fetch her. ['think that was all that passed. James Milinan Coley.—l am a surgeon aid apothecary' at 13ridgenorth, and am in the habit of attending women in labour. I have been in extensive practice 20 years. I was at the inquest which was held on Mrs. Newton, haw. ing received a note from Mr. Whitmore, and a summons from the Coroner. Having arrived at Severn Hall, I accompanied the Coroner to inspect the body, which was lying in a chamber up stairs covered with a sheet. I observed a bruise on the temple, a black eye, and cut on the upper lip, and the face was very much disfigured by those marks. I saw a bruise and kind of laceration near one of the armpits, which appeared recently inflicted. I observed a mark on one of the shins, which appeared to , have been occasioned by a kick, and not a burn or scald. Mr. Whitcombe had an opporeenity of seeing these marks ; and I remarked to him, " This looks like a kick." He said, " Oh, no! it is a burn; she bat burned her shins by the tire." I observed an injury on the hand, as if great violence had been used; one of the fingers was either dislocated or fractured, and Mr. Whitcombe could not avoid seeing it. These were the external bruises I remarked at that time. The Surgeon then went on to describe the observation which he made off opening the body, but they were of a nature not fit to be presented to our readers. It is necessary, however, to state; that according td his opinion, the deceased met her death from the laceration of a very delicate part df the body, and that in conversation with the defendant at the time, the latter endeavoured to convince him that the de ceased died from an excessive attack of an ill ness peculiar to women. The Coroner observed the laceration was slight and unimportant. I then opened the head, and found several bruises on the outside, which I cut through to .hew him. I believe I sewed the body up. I wished to examine the chest. The Coroner asked if I thought I should find any thing worth examining.— I said no ; and the examination did not take place. On the Coroner's leaving the room after the examination, he said " I see, Mr. Coley, this is a very simple business; no criminal proceeding can arise out of it. I had sub pcenaed twenty-four Jurymen t bat I shall retain only twelve, and dispatch twelve." Before he went down stairs, I said I did not understand the nature and con- sequence of the proceeding he was about to take. He went away hastily. A very short time afterwards, while I was washing my hands up stairs in the room where the body lay, in consequence of a message from me to him, be came up stairs, and I told him I felt dissatisfied with the proceedings be was going to adopt respecting a Jury i and that he must take all the responsibility oat himself. He said, " Certainly; there is not the least necessity for more than twelve Jurymen." I f al-1 lowed him down stairs, and was present while 12 men were sworn. The Coroner said, "Oentleanen, lam happy to inform you this is not so serious a business as we appre hended; nothing criminal can attach to anyone. only twelve Jurymen will be necessary." And in consequence past went away. After they were sworn, the Coroner said, " blentlemeo, it is necessary for you just to take view of the body." On their return the examination be. I goo. Oott of the servants said Mrs. Newton called for Will on tile sight she died, and shook hands with him ) , ''savistg, Gool bless you, Will." The Coroner ssid,"tbis 1 0 ; ke like an improper connection." Before I gave my, evidence, Mf. W . hstmorty asked who Will wan. ; Solna one said the wagOrterland a Juryman said there enskl, be no cants for such s snspicion, as he was a mete boy. 1 have since seen the deposition the Coroner returned of L- Croos•exainined.-1 canriot tell n bother Mr. lifh:t combe knew I formerly attended on the family. lie lives sixteen miles distant from Severn Hall. I found no i jury in the skull. I was at liberty to tell the Jary all bas seen, bat 1 thought it the Coroner's ditty to asir questions. There was one interruption. Th- Co:ont r dictated anti said, " On opening the head al I the boils, you 1 was before gmng on in my east way. stated that on opening the head and body, I discovere II.) injury of itself sufficient to cause the sleuth of lire.

'Tat made • quite reserved. 1 made no complsint en my deposid,,ii being read to roe ; between the day of holding the in. quest and hie callihg on me I had attended the 31ag i*trates, and given my opinion. Mr. Whitmore was present at Cat inquest. I will nut swear lie did not say it will he ,s• great relief to the Jury, if you give the reason of the woman's death. He-examined.—l considered her death to have heel produced by pain, loos of blood, and the general concus sion horn the assault. James Barker.-1 was assistant to lir. Fall, a surgean at Beidgenorth, and attended the inquest. I arri se 1 tween 10 and 11, and saw the body, with the Coroner, before Mr. Coley came. I was afterwards preseht at the opening, and examined before the Jury. (The exami "t• tion, aa returned by Mr. Wbitcotnbe, was read.) It stated, the witness was ofopinion Mrs. Newton had died from loss of blood, and not from any blow or violence. This he had never said, fir any words to that or the like effect, that he recollected. Cross examined—l will swear positively I never use I such words. I ordered vinegar and water in case the bleedinz should return. I was the only person a•tend ing till Mr. Coley came. The Coroner said Ile sent for him becausc he did not choose to rely on my jndement.— I stated the death arose from hemorrhage, and the gene ral concussion of blows on the body. I thought her its danger, but left her and went away. The depositions. read over to me before I signed it, but I will swear never read it, nor ever said it was perfectly court What 1 heard read over was perfectly correct. I thillc theCornner himself read it. Thomas Canlin—l ant an assistant to Mr. Coley, and went with him on the day of the inquest to Severn II 1;1..
