GARNETT V. FARRAND.

The Court then proceeded to give judgment in the above
case, which was an action brought to try the right of report-
ing proceedings at a Coroner'slnquest. The facts of the case
were, that the plaintiff who is connected with the Man-
chester Guardian, attended a Coroner's inquest at Oldham,
for the purpose of reporting the proceedings, and was
forcibly ejected from the room by the Coroner, upon which
he brought his action of trespass, under the impression
that the Coroner's Court was an open Court.
The Loan Cum. JUSTICE, in pronouncing the judgment
of the Court observed, that the Coroner's Court was a Court
of Record, and that he and his Learned Brothers were unani-
mously of opinion, that no action could lie against a Judge
of a Court of Record, for any act committed in the exercise
of his judicial functions. This freedom from action was
given to Judges, not so much for their own sakes, as for
the sake of the public, that their thoughts being free, their
judgments might be independent. In particular cases, too,
it was certainly desirable that the proceedings at a Coroner's
Inquest should not he made public. It was a preparatory
proceeding, and its publication in some instances might de-
feat the ends ofjustice, by informing the accused party of
the nature of the eyidence against him, and thus giving him
an opportunity to escape, or to suborn witnesses. In
other instances, the publication of a part of the proceedings
might be improper, as an offence against public decency.
Ia fact, the Court could contemplate a variety of instances
in which the publication of the proceedings at a Coro-
Inquest might do injury and could do no good. .Then

FROM AUGSBURG, MAY 18.—They write that accounts
from Vienna state, that that Cabinet has renounced its
antient politics, in maintaining the cause of the Grand
Seignor ; and all its efforts are now directed to pre-
vent a war between the Russians and the Porte :
but the Emperor Nicholas is firmly determined to
take energetic and decisive measures,' and accordingly lie
has sent a circular to all the Cabinets in Europe; this do-
cument is said to contain an expose of the motives which
temporized Russia for so long a time, to bring the affairs of
the Porte to a crisis ; it also states that the Emperor
Nicholas invites all his Allies to join their efforts with his
to re-establish peace in the East, but the interest of Russia
is more immediately compromised by the anarchy which has
desolated that country for these six years, and if his efforts
should not be adhered to by the middle of June, the army
of Bessarabia will pass the Pruth to occupy provisionally
Moldavia and Wallachia.

DUBLIN INDEPENDENT CLUB.—A meeting
was held on Thursday, at Hayes's Tavern,
Dawson-street, for the purpose of forming a Club
to secure the independence of the County and
City of Dublin. The meeting was attended by
several gentlemen of property and influence.—

MR. LOUGH THE SCULPTOR.-Our state-
ment of last week was slightly inaccurate : Mr.
Brougham has given this surprising Artist an
order, but not for a copy from the Sampson.—
Examiner.

A meeting will shortly be held in Swansea,
for the purpose of establishing a Savings Bank
for the town and neighbourhood, strictly con-
formable to the Act of Parliament. As the pro-
moters of this very excellent institution are gen-
tlemen of the first respectability, we pre-
sage that its formation is certain, and that its
effects will be a source of infinite benefit to the
working classes.— Cambrian.

A correspondent informs us, that three persons
who had been induced to recant from the Ro-
man Catholic faith, came forward in the chapel
of Cavan, on Sunday last, made public declara-
tions of the means used to subvert them, and
prayed to be re-admitted into that church, to
which, they stated, they had given so much
scandal.—Freenzan's Journal.

Fo RF A R.—. Margaret Wishart, who lies in
our gaol under sentence pf death, has of late
exhibited strong symptoms of mental derange-
ment. Different petitions have been forwarded
to the proper
Royal quarter recommending her to the
mercy, on the ground of her being con-
victed upon slender evidence. A final answer
was received on Tuesday, refusing to 'grant the
prayer of these petitions.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

THE CONDEMNED SERMON.--.EXECUTION
TO-MORROW.—Yesterday, the condemned ser-
mon, as it is called, was preached in the Chapel
of Newgate, by the Rev. Ordinary, Mr. Cotton,
to the four unhappy men who are to expiate
their crimes at the debtors door, to-morrow.
The prisoners were all present. Sheen, the
murderer, and Stanley de Courcy Ireland, were
also present during the service. The former sat
apart in a corner by himself, and paid the most
marked attention to the exhortations of the Or-
dinary at times his lips moved as if engaged in
mental prayer, but the same placidness of de-
meanour which he evinced from his apprehension
was not even for a moment disturbed. Ireland,
who is confined for coining, appeared by no
means cast down,
