which would either retard or inflame their impar-

throughout the kingdom, for various objects. Gene-

of declaring their abhorrence of the foul murders at
Manchester, and of the violation of the Laws and
Liberties of the Country which they involve, but
but others, and those too frequent to be enumerated
amongst the Reformers themselves, whose numbers
seem to be daily augmented by the fresh causes of
discontent which are every day arising, and some
few even for the extraordinary object of rearing
,fresh Corps of Ycositanry, as if the lesson we have
had of their services weer not a sufficient antidote
against the power of the Military mania. The

and the accounts of the (,sarter s Revenue just

a million as compared with the corresponding quar-

just mention, that tste boasted Norwich Declaration
turns out to abound with ABSOLUTE forgeries of

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM 11R. HARMER.

.:.111anclicster, llkuroday
.livening, Nino o'clock, Oct. lat

" My dear G.—You w-111 hart learnt, no doubt with
sensations of astonishment and regret, of the extraordi.
nary adjourument of the Inquest on John Lees. How
this proceeding is to be reconciled with any principle of
law and justice, I am wholly unable to perceive, and
there was only this circumstance wanting to completely
falsify the assertion of the sob-ember to the London Ad.
dress, " thatthe laws were open for the punishment of
offences, &c." I have not the exact words before me.
but I believe I have stated the substance. We had be-
tore instanced the Grand Jury throwing out bills so as
to prevent pnblic investiaati )))) —the Magistrates refus-
ing so hear evidence, sod to grant warrants against per-
sons charged with capital ottencea; and now, to cam.
plate the climax, a Coroner rejects evidence touching
the death of an individual, and just at the close of the
investication adjourns the Inquest for nearly 2 months,
thus afforling the culprits an opportunity of boldly pas-
slug through the streets, insulting the relations and
friends of their victims, and then escaping with into:att.
ty. lam really so shocked at this outrage on the law,
that I cannot yet compose ntyself to write on the sub.
jrct —Yon are my, good.friend, mistaken in supposing
" I would olect to the Coroner receiving exculpatory
evidence:" because it is laid down by Sir Matthew
Ilale, that the Coroner is to hear as well the evidence
which maketh for, as that which maketh against the
prisoner. Hut had the law been otheruise, I think it
would have been imprudent in me to make the object
Lion, because it would have shown a conscious appre.
'tension that my case could be beaten down; feeling
coulident, however, that it could not he even shaken,
hate therefore courted and challenged my opponents
to produce n nnesses; they have produced them, and
every one has teinled most strongly no support instead of
contradicting the evidence adduced by me. I should
have been n London by this time, had I not known
that m r friend was on the roal; I was, therefore,
pellet' to await his arrival, which has just taken
place, and I ant glad to state that he is in good health
and spirits. We shall probably set off to-morrow, and
be in town on Sunday. ILve the goodness to acquaint
Mrs. H. and family of this, and that I am well.—Mr.
Dennison desires his respects to you.
Yours most truly.
