ELECTION OF CORONER FOR MID•

DLESEX.--(J.A ST DAY.)

It would be utterly impossible to describe the ex-
citement which prevailed during the whole of the
day amongst the immense mass of people who had
congregated in front of the hustings. Towards the
latter part of the day it was calculated that not less
than 40,000 persons were collected. They extended
as far as the eye could reach, even into St. John-
street. The windows were filled with respectable
well-dressed persons and the tops of all the houses
that could command a view of the hustings were
covered with spectators.
The greatest rigour was exercised by each party
in finding out defects in the qualifications of voters
for the opposing candidate; and their objections fur-
nished ample work for the Sheriffs, who were occu-
pied . the whole day in deciding disputed votes.
During the day Mr. Wakley complained of his voters
being objected to merely to create delay.
At four o'clock the poll-books were closed, and
the Sheriffs retired into the Sessions House, to ascer-
tain the state of the poll. As they were absent a
very long time, Mr. Wilkie), and Mr. Hunt ad-
dressed the assembled multitude.

Mr. WAKLEY said the Sheriffs had thought pro-
per, in the discharge of their duty, to close the poll
at four o'clock, although he had freeholders enough,
on and in front of the hustings, to secure his elec-
tion half a dozen times over; and he said that
.the
conduct of the poll clerks during the morning was
most infamous.—(Cries of shame.)—He declared
that if the, poll should be declared to be against him
he would demand a scrutiny.—(Applause.)—The
Act of Parliament said that the poll should be kept
open ten days, seven hours a-day at least; the Act
axed the minimum, but left the time in other re-
spects at the discretion of the Sheriffs; and he con-
tended, that as there were numbers of freeholders
present ready to poll, the Sheriffs should have kept
the poll open until at least five o'clock. Ha was
sure the election was void : and that if it had been
kept open an hour longer, he should have been
elected.—(Applause.)
Mr. Hume then addressed the people, and in a
most energetic manner impressed upon them the
necessity of conducting themselves peaceably, and
not to give their enemies any reason to believe that
they were otherwise than the friends of order and
decorum.—(Cheers.)—ln this respect he begged
them to let him be their leader and adviser.—(Ap-
plause, and cries of "We will.") He was aware
they had confidence in him because they knew that,
for 2.5 years, he had never refused to come for Ward
to advocate the cause of the people.—(Cheers.)—
As, however, the Sheriffs had not returned, he had
a little business to transact with the people.—(A,
laugh.)—Mr. Hunt then put a resolution to the
meeting, conveying the thanks of the inhabitants
and freeholders of Middlesex, and particularly of
those there assembled, to Mr. Wakley, for, the op-
portunity he had afforded to the whole county of
expressing a decided opinion on that occasion, and
for his conduct during the whale contest.—(Cheers.)
—This resolution Mr. Hunt put, and it was carried
unanimously by the multitude: Mr. Hunt then
called for three cheers for Mr. Wakley, which were
immediately given.

The Sheriffs then came on the hustings and de-
clared the state of the poll to be as follows :

For Baker - S 670

For Wakley 3,534

Gross majority for Mr. 8aker....... 136
The polling for the day was—
For Waklcy 544

For Baker 421

Majority for Wakley 123

Mr. Under-Sheriff Wilma; then declared Mr.
William. Baker to be duly elected Coroner for Mid-
diesex.—(A loud and long uproar succeeded this
announcement.)

Mr. WAKLEY then handed in a:paper demanding
a scrutiny of Mr. Baker's votes.

The liiheriffs then retired again, for the purpose
of consulting upon. Mi. Wakley's demand, and
directly afterwards Mr. Baker and Mr. Wakley
shook hands, and the friends of each candidate gave
a hearty cheer.

During the Sheriffs' absence Mr. Hunt again
came toward. He put another resolution to the
meeting, to the effect that this election had been
carried on in favour of Mr. Baker by a combination
of arbitrary and unjust influence—by cant, hypo-
crisy, fraud, perjury, bribery, and every species of
fraud which had been resorted to by the enemies of
the liberties of the -people. This was also, of
course, carried unanimously. Another resolution,
also condemnatory of the proceedings, was put and
passed in a similar manner. Mr. Hunt then in-
formed them, that on Monday next a meeting would
be hold on Kennington-common of the middling
and working classes of the metropolis, to present an
address to the middling and working classes of
Paris on the late glorious events in that capital—
(Cheers)—and he wished to see every person now
present at that meeting. Mr. Hunt then expa-
tiated at considerable length on what he termed the
corrupt London Press, in not inserting reports of
this important election at greater length than had
been done in the different newspapers; and he
stated that a society had been formed termed the
" Northern Union," for the purpose of establishing
a London Journal, to be called the People's Press.
(Cheers.)—Mr. Hunt then put another resolution,
which was carried, thanking Mr. Stirling, the co-
roner of the western division of the county, who
was old and infirm, for the " little mischief" he
had done during the many years he had been in
office, and begging that he would be pleased to re-
tire upon a pension.—(Laughter and cheers.)
The Sheriffs then came on the hustings, and it
was understood that the scrutiny had been abandoned.
Mr. BAKER,' having been sworn in as Coroner,
came forward, but met with a noisy reception. lie
begged to return his sincere thanks to the 3,670
'voters who had given him their support; and though
he had been taunted with addressing the nobility
and clergy, he was not the less disposed to conciliate
the good feelings of the middling classes of society.
—(Cheers and hisses.) As for the support that lie
had been stated to have received from lawyers, he
declared that in his canvass in Lincoln's-inn to-day,
he could scarcely find one at home, nearly all of
them having gone into the country. He had carried
this election single-handed and entirely through the
energies of the freeholders at large. He had,
therefore, accomplished the object of his ambition,
and he concluded by thanking the freeholders for
placing him in so high a situation,—(Cheers and
loud uproar.)

Mr. WAKLICY was received with loud cheers. He
began by saying that his opponent had just addressed
them as Coroner of Middlesex.—(Cries of " No,"
and cheers.)—lf they thought there was any thing
unfair during the election they had a right to ex-
press their disapprobation of it; but he (Mr. Wak-
ley) having engaged in the contest on public grounds
and as the advocate of a great public principle' he
would now exercise no act of hostility toward* Mr.
Baker,—(Bravo and cheers)--or any of his party.
He wished them happiness and longiives.—(Cheers.)
When engaged in such a contest as this, all private
considerations ought to be forgotten, for they ought
not to divert any party to the right or to the left.
He (Mr. Wakley) considered that he had achieved
a most brilliant triumph.--(Cheers.)—What
mattered it that there were 136 transferred cattle
from Limehouse, who knew not whether they were
voting for Mr. Baker or Jack in the moon—who
knew not whether the office was for the benefit and
protection of the public, or whether a lawyer was
the most proper or the most unfit person to preside
in it ?—(Cheers.)—Mr. Baker was the last attorney
who would be appointed to the office.--(Cheers.)
It was said by Mr. Baker early in the election, that
he (Mr. Wilk ley) had no friends ; if he had no friends
had not the cause of a Medical Coroner found
friends, and in despite of every scheme had triumphed
over prejudice, passion, and ignorance ?—(Loud
cheers.) It was the grossest fallacy to place a
lawyer in the office of Coroner, who was ignorant

of a particle of mediOine, and ilto ruinsfittratitit
the prosecutor. This last litet alone was 1146041
to keep lawyers from the °Mee, becanse tifey"bal
direct pecuniary interest in getting a: varcics
manslaughter or murder returned by a ge,reAtl
Jury. Mr. Wakley then alluded to severilmotfrgqir
showing the importance of having a niecliol Pap
presiding at Coroners' inquests, and again adverted
to his complaint against the Sheriffs and tba,
clerks. He then said, that though he bad' ren
notice to have a scrutiny, yet be had abandoned it,
because the Sheriffs had not the power to :nulls it
an effectual one, as they could not summon'
nesses before them. He, however, expressed his
determination to go to the Court of King S 'llO,
in consequence of the ill usage he bad received, for
he was confident, if only legal votes had been
allowed to be received, he would have been 500
a-head of his opponent—(Cheers)—and he related
one or two instances of what he called misconduct
in the poll-clerks. Mr. Wakley expressed his opi•
nion, that before long there would be another elec-
tion, and from what had passed during AU contest,
it was not probable that another attorney svould bs
found to he ready to step into Mr. Baker's.
