THE gtTN, LOND-ON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8,

rudely turns his back upon it—and threatens, accord-
ing to his caprice or his convenience, to scatter it to
the four winds of heaven. We can understand the
principles of Whiggism—of Toryism—of Radicalism
—of Chartism—but we must honestly confess that
we are altogether at a loss to understand those of
Conservatism. To us, its sole distinguishing charac-
-1 teristic appears to be, that it has no fixed character at
all. It takes a Whig impress or a Tory impress,
according to the cue given it by the Premier. True,
it is always talking about its anxiety to maintain in
all their integrity our glorious institutions of Church
and State ; but these are vague, ambiguous phrases,
from which he must be a cunning alchymist indeed
who can extract the slightest definite modicum of
meaning. Again, Conservatism professes to be of the
Protectionist school—to uphold with firmness and
consistency the august cause of Monopoly, yet no
sooner does Sir ROBERT PEEL rise up in the House of
Commons and enunciate a decidedly free trade sen-
timent—such, for instance, as that it is our duty to
buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market—
than his sycophantic Conservative supporters, for-
getting the Monopoly pledges they gave on the
hustings, cheer the sentiment with quite as much
heartiness as even Messr3. COBDEN and BRIGHT them-
selves. Then, too, this time-serving party advocates,
as one of the fundamental articles of its creed, the
necessity of giving Mother Church as much power
as possible—or at any rate of not restricting her moral
influence in the slightest degree; yet we will venture
to predict that when, in the course of the ensuing
session, the Premier or his cad, Sir JAMES GRAHAM,
rise to bring forward their long-talked-of Education
scheme, which—judging from the hints thrown out at
Leeds the other day by Lord WHARNCLIFFE—wiII re-
duce Mother Church's authority as a public instructor
within fit and proper limits—when this Ministerial
Education scheme is brought forward, we will venture
to predict that—however distasteful to them it may
be in reality—the Conservatives will give it their
unhesitating support, for no better or nobler reason
than that Sir ROBERT PEEL wills that they should
do so. The coming session will be a touchstone of
the real worth of these men. It will probe them to
the quick—tear the mask off them—and exhibit them
in their true colours. Last year was a year of equi-
vocation—of false pretences—of vague promises;
the present will be one of stern sincerity—of decided
performance, for the great questions of the time can
no longer be staved off with impunity; and then will
be seen the true worth of hybrid Conservatism.

The detailed results of the Revenue Accounts for
the year and quarter ending the sth January, 1845,
confirm, in a remarkable manner, the anticipations
we have from time to time indulged in as to the in-
evitable benefits that would accrue from a more
searching and vigilant administration cf the depart-
ment of Customs; and as to the excess which the
property-tax would yield over the annual "three
millions to three millions and a half" at which Sir
ROBERT PEEL affected to estimate its product, when
he first submitted it as an integral element of his
financial " Ways and Means," for the sanction of Par-
ment. It will be remembered by the readers of The
Sun that for the last year and a half we have been in
the habit of contrasting the returns of both exports
and imports,—showing a progressive and enormous
increase of our foreign trade,—with the product of the
Customs' duties as reported from quarter to quarter.
The inference which we argued as legitimately to be
deduced from that contrast was, that, inasmuch as the
proportion of increase in the aggregate of the duties
collected bore no fair or reasonable proportion to the
increased aggregate of the trade on which they must
have been collected—the public treasury must have
been largely defrauded, in each quarter, of sums that
should have been paid in on account of Customs' dues.
We all rememberlhow, in their first report on the
subject of the enormous frauds which had long been
habitually practised on the Customs, without their
having in any way detected them, the Commissioners
of Customs themselves congratulated the Treasury and
the public on the " fact," that the highest amount to
which those frauds could have been carried out was
fortunately then ascertained ; and that they did not
exceed altogether some four or five hundred thousand
pounds. The " Commission of Inquiry"— from
without subsequently instituted (under the able
chairmanship, if we recollect aright, of Lord GRAN..
VILLE SOMERSET), speedily ascertained the existence
of enormous abuses and frauds still in daily operation
as to specific commodities ; and it opened up cases of
suspicion as to other and unknown imports, most of
which cases have since been probed until they have
more than verified (as in the articles of leaf tobacco

and manufactured cigars) the worst fears of that
Commission. The sum, large as it was, which the
Customs' Commissioners had affected to regard as the
" be all and the end all" of the delinquencies to be
proved against their MR official subordinates and
servants, or those sh;ppers (agents and others) who
practised upon their credulity or their remissness—
this sum has long since been shown to be a mere
bagatelle, compared with the far larger cheats which
have been for a long time past annually, and still are,
successfully practised by artful traders in league with
confederate Custom-house officers, warehousemen, &c.,
in her MAJESTY'S " revenue of Customs." When we so
confidently asserted that, after some sagacity, vigilance,
promptitude, and resolution were put upon the scent,
which the slow hounds (they must forgive us for the
simile) had so utterly lost—the Customs might
soon he made to yield such a large increase of collec-
tion as to take from Sir ROBERT all pretence to call
upon the country for a property-tax, on the ground
of its being necessary to bring up the national in-
come to a level with the national expenditure; we
did not permit ourselves to reckon on so agreeable a
confirmation of our belief as that which the "Accounts"
before us supply. From these it appears that the
Customs, for the year ended the sth instant, have
rallied so much as to produce, in that interval, the
vast net total of 20,378,6721., being an increase on the
net produce of last year, in this branch alone, of
1,365,0001. Courage, Gentlemen Commissioners !
You have only not to resume your official slumbers
at the Board in Thamea-street, and to enjoy the be-
nefit of the Committee of Inquiry's vicarious energy
in your places, for another twelvemonth or so, and,
taking the product of 1841 and 1840, on the deft•
ciency of which the Premier raised up the main sup-
port of his machinery for extorting a tax on pro-
perty out of the pockets of poor JOHN BULL—you
will be able to return an increased net revenue from
Customs far exceeding the excess of the Public Charge
over the Public Receipt in those years of going-out
Whig Governments and incoming Conservative
Ministers.

There is really so much probability of the matter
being thus more than balanced, and in the most legi-
timate of manners, that we can scarcely imagine our
Premier, with all the credit we give him for plausible
collectedness—we will not call it assurance—venturing
to solicit the Legislature next year to continue his
most odious, most unfair, most disproportionate, ill-
appropriated, and worse assessed impost. An increase
of 1,365,0001. odd on Customs, and of 365,0001. on
Excise, in one year, will surely abash him into a
mood of sufficient modesty to abstain from demanding
a property-tax, which, allowing for the decrease of
57,000/. on last year, as compared with 1844, brings
him in 5,191,000/. ! We do not look even upon First
Lords of the Treasury as more than mortal men, and
we doubt whether Premiers are really angels. If, there-

fore, Parliament should allow the process of notices,
returns, and collections for this detestable tax to be

resumed next spring, we are not so fanatical in our
political enthusiasm as to look for one single shilling

of remission out of all this prodigious product at the.

hands of Sir ROBERT PEEL or Mr. GOULBURN.

would be a less astonishing reversion than a five-
pound note returned from the Treasury under cover,
to some astounded rate-payer, as having been "con-
tributed in excess." We do trust that Members of
Parliament will lay these, or some other such consi-
deratkns, seriously to heart. Let the yield of Cus-
toms and Excise be assigned some definite point,
which, when it has been passed, shall determine the
immediate appropriation of the excess collected, in
substitution for such a war-tax as the property-tax.
At least let the Premier, who was so mealy-mouthed
at first as to look for but some three and a half mil-
lions, be kind enough to tell us at what amount of
excess over that sum he is prepared to be so generous,
as to cry—" Hold—enough 1"

The Paris papers continue to be occupied with dis-
cussions on the forthcoming debate/on, the Address,

and the prospects of the Ministry. The only article,
however, which possesses the slightest interest is one
in the I'rese, a journal of Conservative principles,
and, according to its professions a supporter of the
Conservative majority in the Chamber. If it sup-
ports the majority, however, it throws M. GuizoT,
their leader, overboard, and makes animadversions on
the entente cordiale, the right of search, and the affairs
of Morocco and Otaheite, in as bad a spirit as any of
the Radical and Legitimatist journals. While making
such remarks, it disowns all knowledge of any coali-
tion formed against the Ministry—at all events ittakes
no part with them, and attacks M. GUIZOT on the
ground solely that he has not kept his word
with the majority in the Chamber on two questions—
the right of search and the occupation of Otaheite.
On these two points it makes the following remarks,
and concludes with an utter condemnation of the
treaty with Morocco—the three questions which will
form the main subjects of attack on the Ministry
during the discussions on the Address. "With re-
spect to the first question," says this journal, "we do
not wish to repeat a history with which every one is
acquainted, but we cannot avoid referring to what
appears to be forgotten—that in the year 1841 the
Ministers signed spontaneously a treaty which ex-
tended the oppressive clauses of the Conventions of
1831 and 1833. The Minister! not only signed that
treaty, but defended it before the Chamber of Deputies.
The Chamber, however, signified an energetic disavowal
and added, Thus far you shall go, but no fat ther ; you
shall not ratify the treaty you have signed.' And it
was not ratified. This, though much, is not all. The
Chamber unanimously demanded that negotiations
should be commenced for the abrogation of the con-
ventions of 1831 and 1838. The Cabinet resisted, and
declared that such an attempt would be either an act
of weakness, or of folly. But the Chamber was firm,
and the Cabinet agreed to commence negotiations.
As to the second question, the affair of Otaheite is of
more recent date. When the Monileur announced
the disavowal of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, the
Chamber became excited and demanded explanations.
An amendment was proposed by M. Ducos, cen-
suring the resolution adopted by Ministers. The amend-
ment was not adopted, because M. GUIZOT demon-
strated to. the Chamber that they could not judge
without more complete information. Wait,' said
the Minister, until the affair he concltided.' No-
thing could be more equitable. The Chamber refused
to condemn without full information. But did it
acquit the Ministers ? No ;it waited. The question
now comes again before it, complicated with new inci-
dents, which are much to be regretted. After the
disavowal of Admiral DUPETIT Tnouans there is
the blame inflicted on M. D'Aumcny and the
indemnity promised to Mr. PRITCHARD. There
has been blood—much blood—shed in Oceania,
in consequence of the intrigues of the man
to be indemnified. The affair of Morocco was
commenced and concluded in the interval between
the two sessions. It is a question new to the Cham-
bers. Will they consider that it was well done to
evacuate the Island of Mogadore before the ratification,
and contrary to the text of the treaty? Will they be
of opinion that France is sufficiently rich to pay for
her glory when she is compelled to pay for the in-
sults she has received ? We have thus justified by
facts our previous assertion, that on many and on the
most important questions there is not between the
Chamber and the Cabinet that cordial understanding
which alone renders a majority durable. The Cham-
ber is not hostile to Ministers, but it reserves to itself
the right to examine their acts with perfect indepen-
dence. This is what it has done during four years,
and no one can contest its right."
But besides these points there is another on which
it touches, and which it appears to have imbibed from
the inspirations of M. THIERS, though disclaiming all
acquaintance with him. Peace with England it
reckons a mere delusion, and no Ministry that neglects
to prepare for a war ought to rule in France. These
are the deceitful sentiments of a writer who cannot
forgive England for abetting ESPARTERO in expelling
Queen CHRISTINA from Spain :

" We are the sincere partisans of the maintenance of
' peace, and the systematic enemies of every intrigue.
If there exists one, it is without our knowledge. We
are the journal of a principle, whether true or false, which
we have never concealed. This principle is founded on
the profound conviction that peace will ever be but an
armed truce until the day when France shall have allies
in till States where their interests are common with
hers. On that day the bond which connects the Ger-
manic confederation will be loosened, in order to he
enlarged. Everywhere we shall see the number of regi
ments diminished and the number of ships increased.
It is towards the sea that every eye will be turned.
What others term a cordial understanding appears to us
but a dangerous lethargic sleep. We believe that the
moment of awaking will be terrible. has it not nearly
been so twice at least ? Once in 1840, and again this
year, a few day s b2tore the King's journey to Windsor.
rhis danger cannot be denied, because it is admitted in
the King's speech. But what has been done to guard
against it ? We have reason to fear that the cordial
understanding may conclude like an apoplexy, of which
it is said the first attack is a warning, the second is a
menace, ana the third kills you. It is the last drop of
water which causes a vessel to overflow ; and the day
%sill come when a last concession will be demanded ;,f
you without reciprocity, which either cannot or will
not be granted. It is the fear of such an event which
dictates our present language. During four years it has
not varied for an instant."

The Constitutionnel, in some remarks on the state
of M. VILLEMAIN'S health, infers that he has been
driven to madness by anonymous letters, addressed to
him either by the Jesuists themselves or their paid
agents. This is not at all probable. M. VILLEMAIN
was not a man of a weak mind, and none but weak
minds could be in the slightest degree disturbed by
anonymous letters. The article concludes in these
words, which, we fear, contain more truth :—" There
are not wanting persons who already repeat to their
stupid circles that the Minister has been struck by
the anger of GOD, for not having drawn up a Bill

favourable to the Jesuits. These folks know what

,hey say, for it is they who themselves partly effec

he miracle."

THIS DAY'S NEWS

SECONDARIES.-(T HIS DAY.)

BATLEY V. JOLLEY.
Mr. Lush appeared fur the plaintiff, and Mr. Butt for
the defendant.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against
the defendant, both of whom carry on the occupation of
stable-keepers (the plaintiff in Torrington-mews, and
the defendant in Polygon-mews, Paddington), to recover
the sum of 16/. 12s. Three horses were sold by the
plaintiff to the defendant, between June and September,
last year, which amounted to the sum for which the action
was brought. The sale of two horses was proved in
evidence, but no proof of the sale of the third was
adduced ; but it would appear that it was seen in the
defendant's stables, and used by him in his business, and
afterwards sold by him. The defendant had pleaded a
set-off, in the shape of a quantity of corn and hay sup-
plied by him to the plaintiff at various times, which
amounted to 10/., therefore, reducing the claim of the
plaintiff to 61. 12s.

- Mr. Lusa, on the part of the plaintiff, admitted that
the defendant had supplied articles to the amount claimed
in his particulars of set-off, and the jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff-61. 12s.

CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice ERIE.)
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Robert Hodgson, a moat re-
spectable looking man, aged 53, was placed at the bar,
charged with stealing ls. 10d., the property of her Ma-
jesty's Postmaster-General._

The Solicitor-General, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Adol-
phus, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Wilkins
defended the prisoner.

From the statement on the part of the prosecution, it
appeared that the prisoner was a grocer at Walthamstow,
and also the keeper of the post office there. In Decem-
ber last a letter was taken to his house, directed for an
individual in Calcutta. The party taking the
letter paid for it Is., and the prisoner, on seeing
that the letter was not directed rig Southampton dis-
covered that he had made a mistake in the charge ne
had made, as the charge ought to have been is. 10d.
instead of is. The party who took the letter
to the office thought there was something wrong
in consequence of the small charge that had been made.
An investigation took place, and Mr. Sculthorpe, one of
the Directors of the General Post-office, accompanied by
an officer connected with the Post-office, went
down to the house of the prisoner, asked
if he had not received a letter addressed to
Calcutta, to which the prisoner replied that he had, but
that he b-ad forgotten to send it in consequence of his
having asked too little postage, and had placed it in a
drawer till he had sent for the extra postage. The officer
searched the house and found the letter in the drawer,
in which many of the prisoner's letters were. On the
letter being discovered, the prisoner said he had placed
it there for safety, and had forgotten to dispatch it with
the other letters.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner, and a vast number of witnesses, among whom
were many clergymen, who had known the prisoner for
upwards of thirty years,] gave him a most excellent cha-
racter.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied.
Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, and
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a strong re-
commendation to mercy.
The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned for
one year, without hard labour.

BOW-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.)
Joku Sullivan was charged by George Copeland with
an attempt to rob him of his watch, under the following
circumstances:—

At about three o'clock this morning complainant was
leaving a public-house in Holborn, the sign of which he
did not know, when several men, of whom the prisoner
was one, surrounded him, and, under the pretence that
he was not sober, and that they wished to assist him,
took him by the arms and led him on. Ile tried to get
away, but the prisoner struck him in the face, and he
was obliged to submit.
After some observations from the Magistrate, the
complainant said, "I felt them trying my pockets. I saw
the prisoner putting his hand to my waistcoat pockets;
but I was afraid to resist, as I knew I could not defend
myself against so many: but as soon as I saw a police-
man I seized the prisoner by the collar, and held him
till the policeman came up, when I gave him in charge."
Policeman F 152 said that about three o'clock this
morning he met the complainant and several men, of
whom prisoner was one, in Holborn. When he first
saw them, prisoner was walking beside complainant, and
the others behind him. He saw complainant seize the
prisoner by the collar. Complainant gave the prisoner
in charge, but as he was going to bring the man to the
station-house complainant asked him (witness) to let the
man go. He did so, and persuaded prisoner to go a
different way from that which complainant took. Com-
plainant not knowing his way, witness went with him,
and he saw prisoner following and watching them. Upon
this, complainant fearing that they should attack him
again, gave prisoner in charge. Prisoner was at the
time very drunk, and made such violent resistance that
he had to be handcuffed, and it required three men to
take him to the station-house.

Mr. TwYFORD said that the attempt to rob com-
plainant was not proved, that ho might have intended a
robbery, but that it was not proved against him. It ap-
peared, however, that the man had been drunk and dis-
orderly, and for that he should hne him 103., the felony
not being proved, he must be supposed to be iniApeent.

(THIS DAY.—BY EXPRESS.)
The inquest on the unfortunate woman, Sarah
Hart, who was supposed to have been poisoned on
Wednesday last at Bath-cottages, Salt-hill, was re-
sumed this morning, at the Three Tuns Tavern, Salt-
hill, pursuant to adjournment from Saturday
last. The proceedings appear to excite the
most intense interest in the neighbourhood.
and the road leading to the tavern was occupied by a
number of persons anxious to catch a glimpse of the
prisoner, J. Tawell, who was brought up from Eton,
in a fly, in custody of a constable. Mr. M. Cham-
bers and Mr. Williams attended for the prisoner.
J. Charlesey, Esq., the Coroner, took his seat at
ten o'clock, and the Court was opened in the usual
manner, after which the names of the jury were
called over. The first witness called was
Mr. Edgard Western Norblad, the surgeon, who
deposed as follows :—I have analysed the contents of
the bottle and glass found in the house of the de-
ceased. I performed the analysis in conjunction with
Mr. Champneys. The inquiry was adjourned until
to-day, to enable us to do so. The bottle was about
half full of porter. I find that the bottle contains no
poison of any description. The bottle was delivered
to me by Mr. Champneys. I did not see it on the
table. I have also analysed the liquid in the
glass, which was delivered to me by Mr. Champneys.
and that contains no poison. I have carefully pre-
served the results of that analysis, and they are in the
possession of Mr. Champneys.
By Mr. Chambers—Mr. Champneys and Mr. Coo-
per were with me when the examination was made.
Mr. Cooper is a ♦ery eminent chemist. The analysis
took place at Mr. Cooper's laboratory in London.
Mr. Cooper concurred with us in opinion. Mr.
Cooper will not be here.
Mr. Chambers—Was Mr. Cooper present at the
analysis of the contents of the stomach ?
The CORONER—I have not examined the witness
on that point, and do not think you can cross-examine
him on it.
Mr. Chambers—As you please, Sir.
The question was not put.
The CORONER—Was the analysis conducted by
yourself or Mr. Cooper ? Witness—By Mr. Cooper,
in my presence. I possess sufficient knowledge of
chemistry to understand the manner in which the
analysis was performed, and to state its results.
Mr. Henry Montague Champneys, surgeon, ex-
amined by the CORONER.—I live at Salt-hill. I was
directed at the last sitting of the Court to analyse
the contents of the bottle and glass, which I took
from the table in the house of deceased. In conse-
quence of these directions, I, in conjunction with
Mr. Norblad and Mr. John Thomas Cooper, have
analysed the liquid found in the bottle and
the glass, which was taken by me from the house of
the deceased from the sitting-room where the body lay.
No poison was found in either the bottle or the
glass. I was present the whole time of the process of
analysation, and my experience enables me to state
that that was the result of the examination. I have
preserved those liquids. I took them from Mr.
Cooper's, and they have been in my sole possession
ever since. They have been put under lock and key,
so that I shall always know them to be the same
when called upon.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—l applied tests
for several kinds of poison ; they were the same as I
mentioned the last time—oxalic acid, lead, oxide of
copper, arsenic, and prussic acid. I have never met with
an instance in which the elements of prussic acid
have been found in beer and porter. I entered the
profession in July, 1835. I attended the regular
courses of chemical lectures, and manipulated occa-
sionally myself. I never applied the test of prussic
acid to urea. I am not aware that prussic acid
is to be found in large quantities in urea. I
do not take in the Lancet, but I know
Liebig's lectures. I was not aware that prussic acid
was contained in large quantities in urine or urea. It
may, I believe, be evolved from the human body
during the process of decomposition. It was disco-
vered by Scheile, I think, about forty years since.
Mr. Chambers—Did you decompose the beer so as
to ascertain its composition ? Witness—That was
what I endeavoured to do.
Mr. Chambers—Did you apply your tests to that ?
Witness—Yes, after distillation.
Mr. Chambers—Then you first distilled it, and
then applied your tests to the distilled liquid ? Wit-
ness—Yes.
Mr. Chambers—That I believe is the usual method.
The CORONER—Did you taste the liquid before
analysation ? Witness—l did, and it had every ap-
pearance of porter.
The officer of the Court here addressed the Co-
roner and said the Inspector of the London Police
had a statement to make to him.
The CORONER—It must not be made in public.
I will come out to him presently.
Margaret Jane Bennett was then called, and her
deposition taken the other day was read over to her
and signed. This proceeding was rendered neces-
sary in consequence of someinformality in the manner
of taking the deposition. This was the witness who
first went into the deceased's cottage and saw 'the
bottle, glass, and bun on the table.
Mr. Norblad was re-called and examined—A part
of a bun was also produced by Mr. Champneys, which
I subjected to the same analysis as the liquid. There
was no poison found in it.
Mr. Champneys recalled—After the analysation of
the liquid I produced a bun which I had taken off a
table in the house of the deceased, in the same room
where the body lay. I found that the bun contained
no poison.
The CORONER said the case on the part of the
Crown was now closed.
Mr. Chambers—You were kind enough, Sir, I
understand, to state to my friend Mr. Williams, on
the last occasion, that at the close of the case you
would permit me to say a few words.
The CORONER—I cannot permit you to make a
speech for the defence. If you have any observations
to make on the evidence taken to-day, you may do so,
but I shall not allow you to go into a general reply.
Mr. Chambers—lf you will be so good as to lay
down any rule of proceeding, I will take care to
abide by it.
The CORONER—The case on the part of the Crown
is closed. Have you any witnesses to call for the
defendant ?
Mr. Chambers said there was no person who at
present could properly be called the defendant. The
Court was one simply for the purpose of inquiry
generally, and not for inquiring as to the guilt or in-
nocence of any particular person. The Coroner's duty
was to inquire into the cause of the death of
one of the Queen's subjects, and not to inquire into
any charge which might be brought against any par-
ticular person. Therefore, he appeared before the
Court, by the Coroner's gracious permission, as the
advocate of a person who had been taken into custody,
and it was to he presumed it was for some offence
connected with the death of the person who was the
subject of this inquiry. He had been permitted by the
courtesy of the Coroner to appear there as advocate
to watch the proceedings on behalf of his client ;
but before he retired from the Coroner's presence, he
wished distinctly to understand to what extent he
was to be permitted to carry his professional exer-
tions—whether he was to be limited only as to the
cross-examination of witnesses ? He did not mean
to contend. He understood the Coroner to say that
he had no right to be heard in giving any directions
to the jury, but if he was to be confined in his ob-
servations to remarking upon the evidence taken
to-day, he thought he should be doing more
injury than good to his client by such
advocacy. He would, however, wish to be heard,
not in defence of any particular party, but to suggest
to the consideration of the Court and the jury, that
on the evidence as it stood there was so much doubt
with regard to any individual, that
The CORONER—I must interrupt you. You are
now doing the very thing which you said you would
ask permission to do. I hope I shall give a fair and
upright charge to the jury, but I cannot permit you
to direct them.
Mr. Chambers was very sorry if he was going be-
,)ond the line which had been laid down, but he had
understood that the Coroner had on the last occasion
