EXCLUSION OF REPORTERS.

(From the Morning Herald,)
MARLHOROUUII•STREET.---OUrileporter presented him-
self again at this Office yesterday, for admission, when
there were no less than four officers—Messrs. Clements,
Ballard, Sehoofields, and Avis—stationed at. the door to
prevent him entering. What could have induced Mr. Roe
to double his guards, aided by a host of beadles and parish
constables ? It would be supposed that two at least would
be found sufficient to impede a single unarmed Reporter 1
The officers having declined to give any. cause for their
conduct, more than that they. were stationed at the door
by a brother otlicer,our Reporter wrote the following note
to Mr. Conant, the sitting Magistrate :
i" . ' takesway., to ank Mr. Conant if he may
be allowed to attend in the Pablie Office, to report the prover&
infix fur the Morning Herold.- .

Tuesday, 89th August, 1826."
This note was presented to Mr. Conant by the Reporter
of the Aforning Chronicle, .who informed the Magistrate
that there were four officers stationed at the door to pre-
vent the Morning Herald Reporter from getting into the
()like. Mr. Cohant, having perused the note, said that he
had no objection to the gentleman being admitted, and he
handed the note to Sir George Tarrant, who observed that
he was not aware, of any- objection either. Plank, the
chief officer, was asked, by the Magistrates, if any orders
had been issued to the contrary ? Plank said he believed
that Mr. Roe gave orders to station ()Ulcers at the door to
prevent the Mprning Herald Reporter from getting admit-
lance. Mr. Conant then informed the Morning Chronicle
Reporter thathe. had no knowledge of such an order being
issued. For hiMself, he should be .very happy to give
the gentleman .of .the Press every accommodation possible;
but as Mr. Rue :thought proper to make a particular order
upon the subject, he <Mr. COliant), of course, could not
interfere. Sir George Ferrara expressed himself to the
Same effect. 'tie Morning Chronicler Reporter inquired
of Plank the grounds of the exclusion, and was informed
that they were known only to the Magistrate who issued
the Order. The gentleman further observed, that the
Morning Herald Reporter was not aware of having mis-
represented any facts in the. reports of the proceedings
which he had furnished. Mr. Conant said that he was, no
party to the issuing of the order, but, at the same time, he
could not interfere_ with another Magistrate. Thus the
matter rests at present. •

destroyed last year at the launch of the Princess
