In the course of an inquest held at a very late
hour on Monday night, before Mr. Wakley, at the Western
Dispensary, Nlarylebone, on the body of a man who had
accidentally fallen from the top of a house in Lisson-grove,
the Coroner, in adverting to the withdrawal by the Mid-
dlesex Magistrates of the fees formerly given to summon-
ing officers and beadles for summoning Coroners' juries,
w.tuesses, &c., observed that such a proceeding was not
o ily fraught with the grossest injustice to the constables
themselves, but in a great measure tended to defeat the
et ds of justice. Since the withdrawal of these fees by the
Mid Ilesex Magistrates, constables had greatly relaxed
their endeavours to obtain information relative to the death
of parties ; and no fewer than twenty-five cases had come
within his own knowledge where inquests ought to have
been holden, but which the constables had never troubled
themselves about. He could not blame the constables ;
such a state of things ought not to exist, and he should use
his best endeavours in the next Session of Parliament to
procure POMC alteration in the present law. The beadle
remarked that he believed Mr. Baker, the Coroner for the
Eastern Division of the county, still paid 11;3 beadles.
Mr. Wakley— Yes ; and I understand he will hi.vo up-
wards of 401. disallowed in his account.
Addresses have been issued from Sir Robert
Price, Bart., and K. Hoskins, Esq., the two Libe-
ral Members for the County of ereford, to their
constituents. These have been drawn forth by the joint
address of Messrs. Baskerville and Bailey, jun., as candi-
dates in the Tory interest at the next election, and the
advertised determination of Mr. Foley, of Stoke Edith,
not to offer himself for the county again, is in turn the
ostensible inducement to this avowal of their design on
the representation of the county. Sir R. Price and Mr.
Hoskins complain with considerable justice of their taus
early introducing the discordant feelings engendered by a
party canvass, when a dissolution may not take place for
two or three years. It is rumoured that in consequence
of this injudicious attempt on the part of the Tories, the
Liberals will start a fourth candidate, and Gen. Sir J. K-
Money, of Horn House, is pointed at as the man. If an
inference may be drawn from the result of the election
Uin
1834, and if unanimity prevail in their camp, the e.
formers may surely succeed in electing the three repre-
sentatives for the county.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
