THE COLDBATH FIELDS AFFAIR.

Mr. R. TAYLOR alluded to this occurrence, and sail
that io making some observations on it, he was not with-
out a precedent. The Court bad passed some strong
resolutions on the Manchester massacre, in 1819. Ile
then said, that he found by the morning papers, that the
Solicitor• General had brought the question of the verdict
in the Calthorpe.street affair into the Court of King's
Bench. Such a proceeding he considered to be destructive
of t e riizht of the jury ey•tem altogether.
Mr. EBENEZER TAYLOR thought it a most dangerous
precedent to permit a question to be debated without due
notice. It notice were given, the Court could proceed to
the discussion.

The LORD MAYOR said, that the nature and quality of
the observations made by Mr. Taylor, now that the inquest
was over, showed how proper it was to refrain from
adverting to the subject while it was sitting. If Mr.
Taylor made a speech pending the investigation, it would
have been a speech of much greater aggravation.—(Hear.
After some further business, the Court adjourned.
