back. I turned about, and told hint. to be quiet
mcntent, and I should accompany him. He was
rc.to take me away.
t'.,l„.„ER—.. Take out the Gentleman, but use no
r.c.c force than is absolutely necessary."
rr, TAKE It" I protest against this proceeding,
it, ;di is contrary to the spirit of a Court of Law,
vi cannot help declaring that you are using a most
aathority."
Astr.roarir—" The Coroner is amenable for
and will be ready to defend it ; but I tell
that he is completely justified.' .
:;. TA ER—" He cannot be justified in violating
I:',erty of the subject, which he has done in this
most effectually."
The Oilicer who first came to me was now joined
:,,other, and both seized me, and were pulling
re towards the door, when having been told by an
excellert anthority, that the assault was as complete
; if I had be,:n taken out of Court, I asked the
OE:cr Vs name, to which he answered " Joseph
01.11.„ then turned to the Coroner, and asked
wl:Lt:!er, if I should not take notes, there would
be still ?ay objection to my remaining in the room ?
'l7:e Canner at first hesitated, but after a short con-
s.ll...ttion villa NIT. Ashworth, he requested that I.
,;11 be seated : when, having now obtained' my

- thi, moment another Gentleman stood up,
3;:.. to be allowed to observe, that the publi-
cation c t!; evidence might be punished if' it v.: il-
legii—but that it was contrary to law, to the
yer sr,rit of law, and to the practice of our Courts,
tc t.-1!)id acing ane's hand in noting what took place!
N FR.—And who arc you, Sir?

_Times._ - _

COPINER.—Why, then, I shall hear nothing you
have to say !—But, Sir, you surely proceed upon the
ordinary principles of law and justice? •
CORONSIL—You were the first to publish.
M. Asiiwownt herioeoadgerly caught up the thread
ot Lis oration.. His ran cold when he heard
nentes mentioned. The. Coroner was exclusively
judge of what was evidence, of what evidence aught
to be received, and he was responsible for any ille-
g dity committed. When thcre was an end ot law,
then he and all were outlaws, and liable to be cut
down by any who met them. (The remaining changes
were rung upon London law, and the power of a
Coroner.)

Co toNk.a.—Mr. Ross, are you taking notes?
'Mr. Ross.—You told me that my word was not to
IN: believed ; therefore, I answer no more.

k:olit,Nl:l4.-1 restrain you flout writing.
('Jr. Ross continued to write.)
Caaestnt.—(llaving .been repeatedly pressed by
pers,,rs around his table.) Are you still writing,
R. ? (No answer.) I desire you to desist ; you
will l: lei/loved out of Court if you continue to write.
(After a tonsiderable interval) Constables take him
out. (Here a Constable touched Mr. Ross's shoulder,
but he was immoveable, and wrote on: a second and
third tug sere given, and frequent admonitions, but
to no etlect. Mr. Ross seemed insensible to all the
bustle.)
Mr. a snwortrit, (really looking kindly)—Can't
jon give a pledge?
Mr. Ross, -It has been refused. My word is not
to be believed.

Cossr:sa.—Nlr. Ross, yon treat me contemp-
tunusly : you must be removed.
The Gentleman who before stated himself to be con-
wcted with The Times, here urged, that the Learned
Gentleman (Mr. Ashworth) be should hope, would
be an:.:Aus that his observations might be correctly
" The Learned Gentleman considers the law
al he lays it down, most important for the correction
of what he calls the erroneous law of the other side :
I pot it therefore to him, whether he would not wish
to see his doctrines fairly and distinctly described to
the Pit'alic

CerioKre.There is no chance of fairness in The
Tine:.—The Gentleman replied, that he disclaimed
this imputation on that Journal with the utmost in-
dignation; nor could he conceive that the power of a
Coroner extended to the casting of such reproaches
critt,pectable and honourable men.
CcaloNEn.—Sir, I will not be replied to. Consta-
LI:. take away this Gentleman as well as Mr. Ross.
The Gentleman (to the Constable)—l will go with
rra presently. (To the Coroner.) I should hope,
Sir, that before you shut my mouth, you will hear
tae v,,ry little I have to say.
l',,.fteNkn—l cannot be interrupted. I will not.
litre, I adjourn the Court directly. (He accord-
hr,t rose op to adjourn the Court.)
The Geialeman—As I wish but to say one word,
rny iliterniption can hardly be a sufficient reason for
