address the Court,.
,but he was interrupted ;by.
the Coroner stating that the Jury had not been
Called. The Jury were then ealted over in 'the
uittil'fortn.•

Mr. Ashworth commenced in these words
‘‘ IVorr,•Stir, various things have come. to ray.
knowledge, to which r Cannot' shut my ears—
tlriiiks'ivhich affect 'the independence and impar-
tiality of a body of men immediately-cnnnected
with the investigation of this.case."
The Coioner her'e*inteit'ifict the Learned Gen-
tlethen beg'you'r pardon; but if you
w allow- ti 34 for a.monient.-7 After a short'
pause, be continued, "At is the .request of the
Jury that the inquest should' be adjourned.to
later period. Several of them
.have suffered very
so as to affect their healthrby fatig.tie and
attiiitidh. It it iny desire, therefore, id this no-.:
"tiel case, so extraordinary in its circumstances, to
416 u-rd• the inquesrfrisnr this -day to the Ist:D-
centher. 1 have su(licient,reasons for, myself in'
so Aging; and if there is anything wrong, this
will alloW tune for an 'application •tii the• Court of
Kities"llench;•tortottly-hy thoie immediately Con-
cerned,' hot by others who appear here. Theye-
fore eaddressingthe Jury), I dismiss you to-41,1y,
and I will take you recogiiizanceS to appear here
on the lit Airy of'Decembar." • •
Mr: Hitt-Met begged' leave to be heard for. a -tno-
ment.—lt this extraordinary letmiutttion should
be carried into execution-==

`The' Cor'tiner; Intetrapting him, said; " 1 do
not' know you ; I ohjett 'to hear you at all ; you
have. been beard too much already."
•

Mr.. Harmer wished to Obier4, will~ all due

. . . .
deference, that no Coroner was justified in unne-
cessarily adjourning the inquest.'. •
COroner—l 'have nothing to say to you ; I have
heard too much-already ; if I .ant doing wrong,
you know where to °titan' retlresis.
Harmer Mr. earnestly requested to be beard for
a moment. It was of the firstiniportance to show.
that it would be a high misdemeanour to adjourn
the inquest. •
Coroner—l repeat, that I have allowed you to
say too much already. Turning to the Jury, he
said, " The Court is adjourned."
Mr. Harnierhi have here settled. law upon the
subject, and I should be glad to know whether it,
is.tbe wish of the-Jury .that the inquest should be
adjourned.
Coroner—The Jury ! YoO have nothing to do
-withilit Jury. You have interfered a great-deal
tOo,Much with the Jury already.
Mr. Harmer defied the Coroner to prove it.—
Hedenied that any' thing of the kind had taken
place, and he appealed to the-Jury to say whether
any. thidg had come from him at any period.
Mr. Ashworth.(addressing Mr. Harmer.)—The
Coroner has done with you now, I was certainly
ready to have brought forward decided cases by
which it would appear that some measures had
taken place which might be the ground ot.a cri-
minal information. (Here Mr. Barrow whisper-
ed something to the learned gentleman., He then
continued.) The Coroner has stated to you that
you have an opportunity of applying to the Court
of King's-bench to impugn his judgment.
-Mr, Harmer—Mr. Barrow has suggested to
you, that there are sufficient grounds for a crimi-
nal information. I beg leave to ask against whom
it is to be filed, and the reasons and ground of it ?
Mr-Ashwnrth—l cannot say that now. 1 have ,
no doubt but that in due time yOit will become
acquainted with them. As you have been con-
nected with the investigation of this case, no
doubt you will be also connected with the cri.
urinal information. 1 havii no-doubt 'hitt 'that
Courts of Justice are open to every body who
may,think the Coroner has acted wrongly.
Mr. ifarmer said, that it did not appear that
them proCeedings had been adopted by the wish .
of the Jury.
The Coroner--I beg to heir no more from you,
Mr. Harmer represented .to 'the Coroner, that
he had not-stated to what place the inquest was
to be adjourned.
The'Cbronerl have already stated at the Star
Inn, Deansgate.
_ _

Mr. Harmer said, that he certainly had not
'heard it. He' also wished to know at'what hour
'the Court was to meet on the lit of DeCember.
Coroner—:-At ten o'clock. "

Mr',.l-larrner-That adjournment will be re-
The. 'inquest might is. 'weft have been.
adjuiirned 'to this day six months'. SoMe of the
Jurymen migy die; and some a the 'veitnestes hot
dii in the'mean time. •
Mr'.'Ashniir:ll—The: Co'itr!" of King's Bench is.
opga to'you. The thiefTerotier of the countr'y:
is the 'Chief Justice 'of' 'tliatd Court', and be will
superintend the itnisdictiOn-Orthe-Coroner here:
Mr. Hariner concluded, by suggesting that 'ditr-,
ing this long adjournment all thdse already itn-,
plicated-in this' affair, as well as others who still,
ntight'beolmPliCated, might escape. '
The Coroner then left the chair, and the Inquest,
was adjourned until the Ist day of December next.
