ELECTION OF CORONER FOR MIDDLESEX.
Yesterday evening a meeting wa:Piteld of the friends of Mr. ‘Vakley.
at the Prince's Head, near Storey's-gate, Westminster, for the purpose
of forming a Committee in that division of Westminster.
Although only a few hours notice of the meeting had been given, the
room was numerously attended. At nine o'clock Mr. Kuro took the
Chair, and after explaining the object for which they had met, exhorted
the Freeholders resident in Westminster to go early to the poll, and also
to induce their friends to follow the same example, and, in two days, he
had no doubt but Mr. Wakley, who had gained considerably on his
opponent, would be placed at the head of the poll.
Mr. EVANS said that the inhabitants of 'Westminster had been first
distinguished for setting :the example of freedom of election, an ex-
ample which had been since followed in numerous counties and towns
in the United Kingdom. He was convincedithat there were in that part
of Westminster only, sufficient freeholders to secure Mr. Wakley's elec.
Lion who had not yet been canvassed by the friends of that gentleman.
Mr. ROGERS and Dr. THOMPSON followed on the :same side, and
the latter gentleman concluded an excellent speech by proposing that
John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. M.P. should be requested to form part of
Mr. NVakley's Committee in that district.
This was wumly opposed by several persons who said that they did
not think his services worth the trouble of asking for.
A Gentleman observed that he firmly believed that both Sir Francis
Burdett and his colleague were embucd with such aristocratical prind-
pies, that if they were requested to be on.the Committee, that excuses
would be made for their non-attendance.

Mr. PAPWORTH said he would second the proposition, as it was to
the independent electors of Westminster that 111 r. Hobhouse was in-
debted for his seat, and he considered the present an excellent opportu-
nity to put his conduct to the test, and thereby ascertain his feelings with
respect to the freedom of election.
The proposition was carried, and also another, requesting Alderman
Wood to become one of the Cotnmittee.
A numerous list of names was then handed to the Chairman of free-
holders who volunteered to be on the Committee.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and the meeting adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Tats DAY.)

For a week past, Mr. Bzwznic-the Wotship-street magistrate, has
been engaged in the examination of several receivers of an immense
quantity of property, which had been stolen from the premises of
Messrs. Graze'brook and Munroe, iron merchants, the proprietors of
iron works at Dudley, and of very extensive warehouses and wharfs at
the Regent's Canal Basin, City Road.
It appears that, five or six weeks since,•some boxes of tin were missed
from one of the warehouses, and similar losses have since been dis-
covered, almost daily. The prosecutors have recently ascertained that,
in the short apace of two months, they had been plundered of at least
5001. worth of property; but in what manner, or by whom, the depre.
dations were committed, could not be discovered, nor any trace had of
the stolen property, until last week, when pane of it were found in pos.
I session of the persons who have been under examination.
Elizabeth Freeman, Blaire, and John diggue, were last even-
, ing finally examined before Mr. BEXICTT, charged with receiving the
property, with a guilty knowledge of its having been stolen.
Mr. Burkland attended as attorney for the prosecutors, and Mr.
Wooler for the prisoners.
The case made out against Mrs. Freeman, who keeps an ironmonger's
shop in Houasditch, was as follows s—On the evening of last Tuesday
I week, in consequence of information received at Woradp-street by Mr.
Cranston, clerk to Messrs. Grazelbrook and Munroe, the officers Att-
field, Brown and Graves, were dspeatched with search warrants to Free.
man's premises. They remained there all night to prevent the clandes-
tine removal of property, and commenced their search early on Wed-
nesday morning; and hi the course of that day found a vast quantity of
property, consisting of bags of nails, boxes of tin, iron sheets, &c.
weighing in all about nine tons, and the whole of it identified by the
marks, as having been taken from the warehouses of the prosecutors.
The property was conveyed to different places, at present, to await the
issue of the investigation.
It was asserted ..n the part of the defendant, that the property had
been regularly purchased in the course of trade, but the parties from
whom the alleged purchases were made were not produced, rind the de-
fendant was committed for trial under a recent statute, by which the re-
ceiver may be tried for a substantive felony " whether the principal felon
shall or shall not have been previously convicted or shall not be amenable
to justice."
Blaire was then placed at the bar.
It appeared in his case, that on Tuesday week he went to Mr. Gra-
zelbrook's counting-house, saying that he had some tins of a larger
size than he was in the habit of using, and asked to have them ex-
changed. The prosecutor told him his request should be complied
with if the articles were of a certain description, and he said they
were. Mr. Crowther, the clerk, and Casey, a lineman, then went to his
shop in the Bethnal.green.rosd, where they saw seven boxes of tin,
and part of two others, bearing their private marks, and some of
those which had been had from the premises of their employers. The
prisoner was told that between 50 and 60 boxes of tin had been stolen,
and he was told that if he had come honestly by them, he could have
no objection to account for them. He professed his willingness to do
so, said that he had paid 141. for nine boxes, and produced a book
in which they were entered, but he had no receipt, and afterwards ad.
mitted that he paid the money to a man at a public-helm when
drunk, and could not tell exactly what he paid.
lie was committed.
John diggue, it appeared, came to the office on Saturday last, and
told the officers that he had twelve hoses of the tin in his possession,
but the officer found that he had had it since Tuesday. and they said
he had only at last come forward when he knew they were in search of
the property, and that he would be detected
He could not produce the person front whom he had the property,
and was ordered to find good bail, or stand committed to the sessions.

Tut Nam Pol.te E.—ln the Morning Chronicle and Ad-
vertiser of this morning, under the head of " Alleged Outrage by the
New Police," Sergeant Al• Sweeney and Win. Tilley, of the Police, and
ThomairDa, a footman, are stated to have been found guilty of the as.
sault charged against them. The Reporter requests us to state, that the
verdict was one of Not Guilty; and he regrets, extremely, that by what
he cannot but admit to have been a most culpable error on his pan, a
false impression as to the issue of the trial should have gone abroad.
The following was the opinion of the late Lord Ellenbo-
rough in the case of John Williamson, tried at the Old Bailey in 1806.
His Lordship, in explaining the law on manslaughter, when dftth bad
been caused by medical treatment, stated the necessity of looking with
an indulgent eye on those failures In the practice of medicine which
must occasionally happen, and thought that if medical men, properly
instructed, used all due diligence, and exercised the best means they
were possessed of for the benefit of their patients, and failed in
their endeavours, they ought not to be called before a court of judicature
to answer for their conduct ; but that, if men exercise the profession of
medicine, without having duly qualified themselves by previous cape.
rience and study, and death ensues from their prudes, they would ne
liable to prosecution for manslaughter' as having presumptuously un-
dertaken an office on which the life or death of an individual must de.
pend, without having properly Stied themselves to execute it.
