FROM BELL’S WEEKLY MESSENGER.
London, April 22. j
The verdicts found by the coroner’s jury in
London and Middlesex, upon the bodies of |
two persons killed during the late riots, have J
excited universal interest. Two verdicts;
have been returned wilful murder against j
unknown soldiers, we believe ot the regi i
ment of life guards-Many people are dis
posed to object to these verdicts ; wc are not i
—We consider them as the only legal and 1
justifiable verdicts which could have been ,
found, i$c we are prepared to defendrthem as
such—but first we must object to the inde
cent suspicions which have been cast upon j
these verdicts by certain persons, who lot,k ,
upon the inques's of the coroner as mcie
partial examinations, and formed rather up
on hasty opinions than matters of law and
fact. These persons would do well to hesi“j
tate before they shed their malignity upon !
the most ancient and honorable olfice in the
kingdom—the king’s .,cnch is the supreme
coroner of the country, and every coro
ner is the immediate deputy of that high ;
court.
So high was the credit which the law for
met ;y gave to the inquisition of death found !
before a coroner, that anciently the judges
would not receive a verdict acquitting a per- ;
son of the death of a man found against him •
by the coroner s inquest, uu:ess the jury, i
so acquitting the detendant had found, at i
the same time, what Other person did the 1
fact. j
It is a rule of law, when a person hast
the marks of a violent death upon his body |
com mi tied by the hand of man. to presume
ihe most aggravated species of homicide, j
viz. ivilful murder, till the contrary beprov- .
ed. It has been holden by our ancient law
yers, that if a pel sou be killed uy another, [
and it be certainly known that lie killed him, j
the jury must hear evidence only foi the
king ; and whether the killing were by ma
lice or without malice ; nay, though it were
such a killing us was justifiable, us a.i officer
killing oro who assaults him in excen ing !
his office ; yet the inquest snail find it mur
der, because the party shall be pm -o as
swer ; anil, upon not guilty pleaded the
whole matter will come to be inetl by a ju
ry, where the evidence of both sides will be
heard in court, and such direction given as
tlte nature of the fact-equires, viz. whether
it be murder—man slaughter—or per infor
tunium.
This was the common practice of our an_
cientlaw till within a century past. It is
now, indeed, the practice of the coroner to
go more largely inte the evidence, and to ex
amine, rather than Co conclude himself
bound to accuse by the duty of his office
The coroner’s inquest, in this case, ddleis
front a grand jury. The coroner’s inquest Is
to inquire how truly the party came oy his
death, and to hear evidence on both sides.
The grandjury proceed to accuse ex parte.
Now it is this more enlarged exercise of the
duty of a coroner, at the present day, which
stamps a higher credit upon his inquests.
1 he coroners take evidence on both sides—
they receive the verdic: upon oath-.hey
are bound by the rules of law, and must be
guided by those presumptions which the law
deduces from certain acts, and direct their
juries to form their verdicts upon them as le
gal probabilities. Now, as we have above
snui, unexplained, unjustifiable homicide,
must, by the coroner, be interpreted into
wilful murder. A man is brought before Imn
-his head shattered with a pistol ball, the
evident cause of his death-can he direct
• his jury to return a verdictnf manslaughter?
Certainly not ; because manslaughter is a
species of homicide justified by certain cir
! cuinstances which excuse it, and if those
circumstances be not laid before him in e_
vidcnce, he cannot presume any such to exist
His duty is the contrary way, and he
must presume the most ex iterated spe
cies of homicide, in the absence of all jus
tification.
What is the next species of justifiable
homicide ? Self defence—Bat in the case
we have put, the coroner cannot /ireaume
thie. Homicide, *e dtjcndcr.do, is the kil
ling of another person in the necessary de
fence of himseif against him that assaults
him. But the coroner has nn evidence laid
before him that the party killed made an as
sault, or was anywise engaged in a fray
with tiie unknown person who h is killed
him; Having no evidence of this sort, nnd
being pressed with evidence contrary to the
presumption of such a f r*t I e canno. return
a verdict of homicide, justified by *rlf r/r
J'ertrc Hit had appeared, indeed, that the
man killed in Mr. Goodeve*3 shop had at
tacked the lite-guardsman, the coroner
might have returned n Verdict of «e dr fen
drhdo ; but the direct contrary was in evi“i
donee.
Now, what other kind of violent deaths arc
there, many of v hich ti e coroner might have
prei imed ? Tht.v. is death by the vinitaaon
of (;■ i! —co::M lie have presumed this?
Kcxt.thero is ilcutii, ficr i <>jQTt uni uni, or ac
cidertal death, where no other had a hand
in U ; as where a man falls from a horse or
cart. Could the coroner presume tlm i
Thirdly, there is death by his own hands, ns
felo c'r sc—The coroner could not presume
any of the above kinds of violeyt deaths, be
cause the evidence contradicted all such
presumptions. What then will be his ver
dict from necessity—we mean the necessity
of his duty ? It could only have been the
veidict he has instructed the jury to pro.
nounce.—Wilful murder, against a cer
tain person unknown:
We do not mean, by these observations, to
accuse the life.guardsmen, whoever they be,
of (wilful murder.-Weave satisfied
that both the persons killed, the one in Lon •
d 'n, and the other in Westminster, lost their
lives bv a species of homicide, which is far
from amounting to the guilt of wilput. mkr
DF.it—But we will not say that the parties
killing them were blameless, or that thev
ought not to be put on their trials—We think
they ought to be brought forward, and the
justice of the country should lie satisfied by
their shewing, upon a legal enquiry, that
they have a reasonable mitigation or de
fence.
It the coroner he right in the verdict he
has returned upon Ins inquest, the trial of
these men should he had at all events, aud it
is for the honor of the army to which the ac
cused .belong, that they should be brought
forward ; otherwise a whole regiment stands
attainted with the crime ofblood !
The coroner and his jury have done their
duty, and we should have been better pleas
ed if the secretary of state had issued a pro
clamation, offering a reward for the appre
hension ot the accused, in order that they
might be brought forward forcibly, if they
would not come voluntarily, to clear and jus
tify their act.
A defence indeed has been offered, that
the parties accused are not themselves, per
haps, aware that they have committed any
crime—Each individual exculpates himself;
he may not, in fact, be able to appropriate
any guilt, or fix upon himself as thecriinii il.
It may be so-t o soldier may precisely
know whether it were his act or another. ’
This, however, is all conjecture——what
we have written, we have written in vindi
cation ol the coroner and his jury, who have
acted the parts of intelligent and honest
men upon this occasion, and deserve the tip
plause, rather than the censure, of all good
citizens.
Hut* it is said, if the soldiers be given up,
and put on their trials ror wilful murd. r,
the question of privilege will come inciden
tally bofore a jury, w o may, perhaps,
acquit or condemn (.V; parties accused, in.
on the legality or illegality of the business
on which they weu called out to act,"
according to their own notions ui the mat
ter.
It must he observed, that there is amigh_
ty apprehension of a jury on the question of
JirivUegc; juntas if thr u? who .determine
on the bv s and properties of every indi
vidual m.n'oer, Wsrrr unfit to be trusted, in
cidentally, ,*ith the question of their privi
leges. Is privilege, then, so subtle and
frangible a substance, that it could not bear
the rough handling of twelve impartial
men ?
The tru h is, that the question of privi
lege could not possibly come :n issue on the j
trial ot the accused for the city homicide— I
tin- point bting, in that case,whether the ,
soldiers were acting upon their self-defence
or not-if they justify nr all, they inu.->t
justify, not as soldiers called out to sup
press a riot, for thoy cannot avail themselves
of the justification* unless the rioc act had
been previously read, (which in the e fy
it'was nt ) and they had been marshalled
under the enntroul of the civil magistrate.
Whatever defence they may use, if they
take their trials upon the accusation of mur
der in Westminstei, (where perhaps they j
mighl justify as a military body acting under
the enntroul of the magistrates to suppress
riots,) it is certain they cannot, as 2 military
body, avail themselves of the same justifica
tion in London.
On the city charge, the justification must
be, as in the case of homicide charged upon
any ordinary citizen, self defence. They
must prove that thfey acted purely in self
defence—that they slew the party to save
their own lives—no other plea can be re
ceived.
1 he.jury therefore would have to deter
mine the single point of the sufficiency of the
justification as self defence——'.hey would
have nothing to do with privilege—that ques
tion we sincerely hope will corne before them
in another shape.
LIVERY OF LONDON DINNER.
A very numerous meeting of ihe livery,
friends to the reform of corruption and ;i
busc. (lined together on the 19th, at the city
of London tavern. Among the gurs's who
were invited, were Mr. Whitbread, Mr.
Wardle, Mr. Byng, lord Assulston, alderman
Combe, ami many other gentlemen of di»
tinction. The hrst. toast given after din
ner was—“ The king.** The next—4* the
people.”
Mr Wftitham (the chairman) after giving
these toasts, said, that he nptv felt it neces
sary to advert more particularly to the cir
cumstances which occasioned the present
meeting.-II.- would state fairly, soundly,
and broadly, that it was the right of every
ft-iglLhioan to discuss freely the conduct of
all public uo-n, whether in parliament or
on of it. Whatever privileges the. house of
commons posscs.fcd, were given them for the
protection of ths people, and in no degree to
hr exercise l again t them. He remember
cd a very reninri. ’.. a- speech of Mr. Fox, in
which it wa , . tated, " tUa the peoph: of tins
country used formerly to i rj ic at the* meet
ing of parliament, Conceiving them the guar
<!ian» of their righ s and li; 'rties : but that
now, fro y> snd experience, it was directly the

tolerated in the h- ,nc ; why then - hould it
not be tolerated a’, present, cxc. pt that pir

BONAPARTE’S MARRIAGE,
1 FR.djVCE. Paris, March 27—30, 1810.
AM the German Journals coincide as to
the splendid and. amiable qualities of the
Princess v.ho ir, at this moment, invoked
by the hearts of all Frenchmen. Her ma
jesty possesses from nature the most emi

she speaks French and Italian fluently, andl
is acquainted with the Latin and English.
She sings and plays, in q superior style, up
on the piano.forte ; draws and embroiders
in a distinguished manner ; and her whole
person is indicative of benevolence, amiabi
lity and majesty.
Her mr.j ■ ;ty the Empress arrived at Com
fiirgnc on Tuesday, between the hours of
e;;^.it and nine in the evening. Her majesty
is in the best state of health. The Emperor
went to meet his august consort. The en
trance of their majesties was made bv torch

March 31.
Their imperial majesties did not set out
from Conefiiegne until 11 o’clock yesterday.
Tie Prefects of the Departments, of the
Oise, the {Seine and Oise, and the Seine,
cpaired, each attended by a splendid
i retinue, to 'he verge of their respective
I departments, to receive their majesties.
! i he whole of ihe road from Coru/iiegne to
\Sc. Claud was crowded with spectators.—
l riuii plial arches were erected in a nnm.
| her o. «ill.ages. Their majesties passed near
St. Denis, ur five o'clock yesterday aftcr
iwoon, on their way to 67. Cloud, with th*
greatest rapidity.
The day before the civil marriage of his
fm ijesly the Emperor, the Chapter of Notre
dnine will repair to 67. Cloud, to carry thi
ther the imperial mantle and crown, which
was used at the corona, ion. Ihe following
day after the ceremony of the civil marrij
age, there will be a family dinner at Si,
Cloud, which will be followed by a specta
cle.——The gardens, aud especially the o
rangery, will be illuminated i.i the most bril
liant manner; the waters, which are to play
in the light, will exhibit a perfectly novel
sight.
On the day of the religious ceremony, the
constituted authorities of the. city of Paris
will repair about noon, to the triumphant
arch of l Ziloile, there to receive and com
pliment their imperial n.i<jesties on their
entrance into the capital.
It is believed, that their imperial maj:s
ties will go from St. Cloud to the Thuille
