RIGHT OF REPORTING AT CORONERS'

INQUESTS.

an Tuesday last an inquest was held at the King
and Queen public-house, Padgate, near Warring-
ton, before Mr. MILNE, Coroner, of Manchester, on
the body of Samuel 'Weston, whose death was sup-.
posed to have. been occasioned by injury received
during an affray which occurred in the neighbOur-
hood OW the night of Saturday, the 28th of July.—
The evidence adduced being inconclusive as to the
cause of death, the Jury returned a verdict of
" Fonnd dead." • Previous to the Jury being sworn,
the following. conversation took place between one
of the Jury (Mr. Crowther, bookseller, of Warring-
ton) and the Coroner :

Juryman.—,--Have you any objections, Mr. Coro-
ner, to the publication of the proceedings of this
inquest ?
_ _

CORONER.—Certainly I have. Are you a pro-
fessed reporter ?
Juryman.—l am not Professionally a reporter,. my
business is that of a bookseller, but I am in the habit
of supplying the llianchester courier, and other...
Papers, with the reports of public meetings; and
any local information of general interest.
CORONER.—Then, Sir, I must desire you iMme-.
diately to leave the room. This is not the first time
I have been tricked by the introduction of reporters
as Jurymen.
Juryman.—ln this instance there has been no
trick. I was regularly summoned as a Juryman to
attend the inquest, and there was no understanding
whatever between the officer and myself.
CORONER—I am surprise& that any gentleman,
after the recent decision of Lord Tenterden, should
present himself as a reporter upon such an occasion. ..
Juryman--I attend as 'a juryman, and not as a
professed reporter, and merely solicit your approba-
non to a report. Since the decision of the Court of •
,King's Bench, published reports of Coroners' In-
quests-have been frequent (that upon the body of
the Rev. Mr. Waterhouse,. for instance), and the
Coroners do not appear to have offered any opposi-
tion to the reporters.
CORONER—Sir, I cannot hold any argument with
you. I desire you will not give publicity to these
proceedings; if you do, you must take the con-
sequences.
Juryman—lf you lay an injunction upon .mel ti
will obey.
After a few minutes consideration, the CORONER, - •
addressing the constable, said, " Mr. Caldwell, you
must find another Juryman instead of this Gentleman.
I will' be consistent, and treat all 'reporters alike.—
(To Mr. Crowther.)—You must leave the room, Sir."
Mr. Crowther, on retiring, expressed his surprise
ut the novel grounds upon which the Coroner had
presumed to exclude hirn.—.L4verpool itiercuty.
