We subjoin a copy of the Petition from the init*

consideration in that Court to-morrow, the 22d ingt'
4. TO THE RIGI-IT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYO F'
ALDERMEN, AND COMMONS, OF THE CITY v"
LONDON, IN COMMON COUNCIL ASSEMBLED.
‘ THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNq
INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN AND BOROUG'
OF SOUTHWARK,

" Sheweth—That King Edward the Sixth, by char
ter, in the fourth year of his reign, after granting to tbg
Mayor, Commonalty, and Citizens of the City of Lone
the Manor and Borough of Southwark, with the tie
members, and appurtenances, and various privileges therei°
granted, that the said Mayor, and Commonalty, and Citi;_
zens, and their successors, might for ever choose, accoor
ing to the form of the law, and constitute every year, °I
as often as should seem expedient to them, two Coronet
in the Borough or Town aforesaid; and that the said Ca'
roners, and either of them, should have an exclusive lor
thority and jurisdiction within the said Town and Borough'
" 4 That the jurisdiction of the Corporation in the TO
and Borough of Southwark (and which your petitione,,°
presume your Honourable Court is anxious to maintaior
includes the five several parishes of St. George, St .1011:
St. Thomas, St. ()lave, and St. Saviour (except tra
liberty of the Clink), and is bounded by the river TWIT,
on the North, by the parish of Bermondsey towards t 7
East, and by the parish of Lambeth towards the V 7,7;
extending southwards to Newington, and to the u",'
boundary at St. Thomas-a-Watering, in the Old Ken
road, and comprising a population of nearly '70,000 Pet
sons, being about one-fifth of the population of the tvo"
county.
" That besides the Prisons and the New Bethlem
pital for the care of lunatics, which are all situate wig
the Corporate limits above mentioned, they likewise 015
prise the two important Hospitals of St. Thomas's $
Guy's establishments, which are of the utmost coot
quence to the public at large, and to which are regular',
brought almost all the casualties that happen, not inert
within the populous districts which lie more immediate,'contiguous,
contiguous, both in London and Southwark, but biotic/7d
within a distance of many miles from all pacts of the coon"
of Surrey.
" That, in consequence, they are annually held at the°
two Hospitals alone, many more inquests than in the re;
mainder of the county of Surrey, and nearly as maul
in the whole city of London, and occasionally more;
it would tend much to the convenience and acconal°"s'
tion of the Medical and other Officers belonging there!
and of the inhabitants in general, who are several tiro'
every week summoned on Juries, if the powers given le
the Charter from the Crown were more fully acted uP°l4
and a resident Coroner were appointed for the said V,
rough, either exclusively or jointly with a Coroner for tr,
City of London, in such manner as your Honours7,
Court may seem meet, it being of the utmost importsr,
that inquests should be held with the least possible deli:
and much inconvenience and loss of time having, in it;
been hitherto occasioned for want of such further 807
modation.

" Your Petitioners, therefore, must humbly pray .oe9
your Honourable Court will be pleased to take the preoesst
into your most serious consideration, and to appoint Olio,
one Coroner for the Town and Borough of SouthWAti
either exclusively or jointly with the Coroner for the ;0,
of London, pursuant to the Charter granted by the Cr
and the power and authority thereby given for
purpose.
" And your Petitioners will. every pray, &c."
