seis in company fancied they saw the word " Liniekilos" on her
stern; she bad yellow sides, with half ports; green lower masts

RIGHT OF REPOR lING.
MAYOR'S CHAMBER, NEWCASTLE.
FROM VIZ TYNE MERCURY.

Seren weeks have now elapsed, since the writer of
tho, Mr. H. A. Mitchell, attended the Mayor's Cham-
ber, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings. For
that attendance he had the full sanction of Robert Bell,
Esq.eur late excellent Chief Magistrate, and he conti-
tuaki to take notes without interruption, till the .present
43fayor, William Wright, Esq. came into office. The
rely day after his election, on Tuesday, the 7th of Oc-
tober, Mr. H. A. Mitchell was called upon by Mr. John
Brown, Clerk to the Magistrates, who stated that the
Mayor had sent his compliments, and requested Mr. H.
A. Mitchell would desist for the present from attending
the Mayor's Chamber to repoit the proceedings, as has
brother Magistrates were not agreed to approve of it.
Mr. 11. A. Mitchell immediately afterwards waited on
the Mayor at the Mansion-house. His Worship reFeated
the observation of Mr. Brown, and col:rteously declined
sanctioning his attendinee on his own authority, in con-
libliodua of what hid oceanid at a previous meeting of
his brother Magistrates. Mr. Mitchell expressed regret
bat his sense of duty to the Public would not allow him
to absent himself, and that he was therefore determined
to appear as usual in the .Mayor's Chamber, whatever
might be the result. The day following, Wednesday,
the Bth of October, being then the first Court.day, Mr.
R. A. Mitchell, as heretofore, entered the Mayor's Cham-
ber at ten o'clock in the forenoon. About a quarter of
lit hour after, Mr. Alderman Sorsbie came in and took
his seat as Sitting Magistrate, in the absence of Mr.
Wright, when the following conversation took place :
Mr. Alderman &mist:K.—ls your name Mitchell, Sir?
Mr. H. A. MitchelL—lt is, Sir.
Mr. Alderman Sousutr....—l understand, Sir, you had yesterday
ionic conversation with the Mayor relative to your atteudiag bcre
for the purpose of reporting the proceedings?
Mr. H. A. Mitchel L—l had, Sir.
Mr. Alderman Soasunr..-4 regret, Sir, that when be intimated
to you that his brother Magistrates were not agreed to approve of
it, delicacy did not induce you to absent yourself.
Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—l regret, Sir, that my sense-of duty would
at permit me to accede to his request.
Mr. Alderman Soasina.—Then you claim to attend here as a
utter-of right?
Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—i do, Sir.
Mr. Alderthan SOIMIL—Then I order you to quit the room, Sir.
Mr. H. A. Mitchell.—l must decline complying with that re-
aest, Sir, till it is supported by the application of force.
Mr. Alderman Soussau.—Forsyth, take Mr. Mitchell out.
Thomas Forsyth, the Police Officer, then bid hold of Mr. H. A.
Vitchell by the arm, and conducted him out.
Mr. Mitchell considers this expulsion from the Mayor's
(lhainber as an onttageous infringement of one of the
most important rights a subject of Great Britain can
enjoy, the right to attend a Court of Justice. He might,
urge the expediency of Reporters having the sanction of
Magistrates to attend to take notes of the pioceedings;,
be might dilate on the advantages the Public derive
from such a measure.--he might remark on the imputa-
Qin the Magistrates cast on themselves by attempting
to exclude them, but be,fMhears. He considers it the
right of eirety man in this. country to attend in a Court
of Justice, as Icing as heel:4l'l6as himself with decorum,
and he conceives the only limitation to be, the want Of
morn. Mr. H.A. Mitchell is determined, therefore,
cotditionally to 'try the question, and for this purr
pose no oppottunity could have occurred more La.
viorable. He will bring an action for assault against
Mr. Sorsbie, provided he receives from the Public that
support he is entitled to expect.

EconstaNi.,—A matrimonial excursion is said to
hive taken place froze the .Igetrupulis on Friday last.
The Lady is daughter to a wealthy merchant in the
City, and the partner of her Right is, it seems,.fitst Geit-
//man to a Gentleman of rank at the West-end.
There were many peculiarities in the character and
;bits of the late KINO. Until his sight began to fail
e had no Secretary. He was 'pearly riser, whether in
!own or in the country, and seillods WOW a servant
or anything-he could do himself. The little crib, in
hich his Alaissry slept in the Queen's Lodge, at
Windsor, was contiguous to the office where he trans-
cted the public business. Here he was found at his
k by 'sit o'clock in the morning, even in winter,
aving lit-his own fire by the candle which he-burytt in
is chamber. Themessengers from the various public
ffitis wale frequently adtmtted anl dispatched by the.
184 himself. ft was said to have been a source of
eat pain to his MAJEsty, when, from the loss of
tilt, Sir lizirseitt, then Culollel TAYLOR, Was 2p•
nted his Secretary at due recommendation of the
Like of kiolt4.
