INQUEST ON JOHN LEES.

NIANCIIESTER, WEDNEsDAY, OCT. 17.

Thi• morning, in pursuance of the adjotuninent, the Jury met
at the Star Inn, to resume the proceedings in this case. At ten
...clock (the usual hour for commencing the examinations), the
Burt was crowded to excess, but it was nut until nearly eleven
o'clock that the Coroner entered. Shortly, however before his
arpearance, NIL Ashworth and Mr. Barrow entered the room.
Mr. Ashworth then, addressing himself to the persons present,
requested to know whether there were any individuals there, by
whom lie could be informal who were the persons who had sent
anonymous letters to hint from London. lie did hot believe that
t ken: were any persons present who would ljave done it, but he
wished to know the parties, as such attacks were highly injurious
to him in his professional capacity.
Mr. Harmer said, that he might make similar complaints, of
similar attacks contained in anonymous letters to him both from
London and this town.

Mr. Ashworth.—Do not suppose that I allude to you,'Sir.
Mr. Harmer professed his ignorance of any thing of the kind
AA respected Mr. Ashworth; but he begged leave to state, that he
had received lemrs containing inostshaluetul aspersions upon his
character.

Mr. Ashworth.—lf I cannot find who are the parties. I cannot
help it. But lam determined not to receive any of these letters
fmtit the poet office. I shall let the post office keep them.
The Coroner now entered the Court, and the conversation was
dropped. As soon as Mr. Ferranti had taken his seat, Mr. Ash-
worth was about to address the Court, but lie was interrupted by
the Coroner stating that the Jury bad not beet called. The Jury
were then called aver in the usual form.

Mr. Ashwottli commenced in these words:—" Now. Sir, va-
rious things have come to my knowledge, to which 1 cannot shut
my ears—things which affect the independence and impartiality
of .4 body of Men immediately connected with the investigation of
tin, case."

'file Coroner here interrupted the learned gentleman by saying.
• I beg your pardon. hut if you will allow me for a moment."
After a short pause, he continued, •• It is the request of the J ury'
that the inquest should bu adjourned to a later period. fsevetal•
of them have buttered very much. so 35 to arlict their health, by
fatigue and:attention. It is my desire, therefore. in this novel
case, so wrtraordmary in its eiieuntstances, to adjourn the inquest
trout this day to the Ist December. I have sufficient reasons for
myself in so doing ; and it there is any thing wrung, thi► will
allow tune for an application to the Court of King's Bench, not
only by those immediately concerned, but by of who appear
here. 'therefore, hatiressing the Jury). I dismiss you to-day,4llK
I will take your rixognizanees to appear here on the tsr dal of
December.

Mr. Hanner begged leave to be heard for a moment. If this
esti:lra:Unary te 1111 l nation should be carried into execution—
The Coroner, hiterrupting him, said, 6* 1 do nut know you; I
object to hear you at all; you have been heard too much al-
ready."
Mr. Harmer wished to observe, with all due deference, that no
Coroner was justified in unnecessarily adjourning the inquest.
Coroner.-1 have nothing to say to you; 1 base heard too much
already ; if I am doing a rung, you know where to obtain redress.
Mr. Harmer earnestly requebt.tl to be heard for a moment. It
as of tit htst ingrrcwnre to slow that it would be a high mis-
eleinealiour to to n the inquest.
Coroner.-1 repeat, that 1 have allowed you to say too much
already. 'ruining to the Jury, he caul, The Court is .
ad-
journed"
_ _ _

Mr. Ilanuer.-1 have here settled law upon the subject. and I
should be glad to know whether it a the wish of the Jury that
the inquest should be adjourned.
