INQUIRY into the DEATH of Mrs. PHILLIPS,
AT FINCH LIT.

This Inquiry beingzSend fa yesteedat, at Bo'swami, Mr.
.Aolissnrs appeared be " the Masttes, attended by the
Chnichwardess and • at the and a great number
of witnesses. Mr. C Pumas, this on the Part of Mr.
Phillipe, the hisibaod of the deekased, who, as well as Mr. Same,
was in ateandenee. The investlaitios was to take place before Sir
R. Runes and Mr. Haus, in the blegiotintes' private room.
Mr. Amuses stated the fact of the Invest having been held
on the body, and of the Verdict being rammed by the Jury that
Mrs. Philips had else tej her deith 111 taking too great a quan-
tity of laudanum. He then added that the circumstance had ex-
cited great agitation amongst the inhabitants of Flnchley, and the
Churchwardens had resolved to Institute a stricter inquiry into the
transaction. They, however, were nottprerpared to make a spe-
cific charge against any perms, but still they wished that the Ma-
gistrates would receleirsoch evidence as they were prepared to lay
before them.
Mr. C. Pon.urs—l trust request, Sir, that whatever informs•
don is to be adduced will be laid before you on oath.
Sir R. Ebana—Uniess a charge is made against some party, I
think we cannot receive the information upon oath.
Mr. Pntium—Then, Sir Richard, I submit that any infa-
tuation given not on oath may have the effect of prejudicing a
third puny, who may have no opportunity of clearing his charac-
ter, as the Magistrate may determine that such information will
not warrant subsequent investipdoor If the information is not
to be on oath, it ought. I submit, to be Medved in private.
Mr. Haits—There are reporters preens, and it might be ad-
Haab!' that that which is not given on oath should not transpfin.
Mr. C Pim.urs—That is my object; but If le be given of
oath, Mr. Phillips has no objection to such a mune in public. If
any man le bold enough to make a charge against him he will net
shrink from it.
Sir R. Bnuna—Nothing of the kind was intimated by Mr.
Adolphus.
Mr. C. Naive—He stated that Mr. Phillips had declined to
have his household examined before a private tribunal. Sir, Mr.
.PhWips does so still; but he has no objection to have them oz-
onised before yon, Sir Richard.
Mr. Anounos—l have made no charge against anybody ; I
only say now that Mr. Snow Is far above the imputations which have
been cast upon him. I have heard that unless a charge be made
against some person, the Magistrates hive no power to receive
evidence do oath; and I therefore thought it right to ascertain, in
the first instance, whether the investigation would take place with-
out making a chirp against any person.
Mr. Hato--It b net far us to call in question the verdict of
the Coroner's Jury; but I think we are now situated as if no inquest
had taken place; and if any subsequent evidence has transpired,
we are prepared to bear it, but not upon oath, unlesi a charge be
made against some person.
Mr. C. Pnit.Lwel want to know now, Gentlemen, What Is
before you ? is there any charge? for if not, evidence on oath cal.
not be received.
Mr. Ammenes—l am not instructed to make any charge against
Mr. Phillips.
Sir RICHARD Biame—We cannot receive information on oath
unless there is a charge against somebody ; and is to receive it not
on oath might be injurious to third parties, It ought to be received
in private. Have you, Mr. Adolphus, any information prepared
and reduced to writing?
Mr. Ammons—None, except My instructions, which contain
many things which, of course, a Magistrate ought not so see.
Mr. C Pntwes—When did the the Inquest take place?

Mr. Aomrous—Rarly in September.
Mr. C. Piatmws—Then, surely, there has been indlicient time to
have prepared a written information.
Mr. ADotomus—Yes, if witnesses had not been kept out of the
way, and other persons promised to attend, and inhsequently
broken the promise. Besides, why does Mr. C. Phillips appear
bete? There is no more resins why Mr. Phillipl should have
Counsel here than any other person whatever.
Mr. C. PSILLIPSIt would have been a mow extraordinary
thing if Mr. Phillips had not employed Coumiel, When the party
deceased was his own wife, and when the newspapers WA, teemed
with calumnies against him.
Mr. Amo.roos-1 have not seen them, and, at all stints, no
one can be accountable for what appears in die newspapers, fir
shim their intrepidity broke through the standing orders of Par-
liament some fifty years ago, and published the debates in the year
1774, there is great difficulty in applying any sort of rule as to what
they ought or ought not to publish.
Sr R. Biants—lt seems then that something has transpired In
the papers, but that is no reason why we should depart front our
usual course. lam fond of reading the papers, though want of
time sometimes prevents me from reading them as fully as I could
wish, and 1 have seen no insinuation against that gentleman.
Mr. C. Pnit.i.tes—lt was stated in the papers of this morning
that Mr. Phillips would not allow his household to be examined. .
Mr. itsoiriaus—That is a (act, and not an insinuation. Will,
Sir Richard, if you de not feel authorised to ranch the infanta-
tloo upon olds, it Will be for the CharchWardeis to hail a con.
sultatioa, and to imisider whether they Will Dot offer to yOu a
written information, which May warrant yes I. azialinin *di-
oceses on oath, if you think the hiformathin.weili se to warrant you
in taking a charge against any individual.
Sir R. Bnune—Yes. But I mist &eerie, that soinitionlig 40
witnesses is not precisely the way to get on with bulimia. It
would be better to bring before as a few leading witnesses at first.
Mr. C. Piumsea—At any time you wish, Sir Richard. Every
member of Mr. Phillips's household shall appear before yeti.
Sir .11. Urania—l do not know Mr. Phillips, but I confess I felt
some desire that the slur upon Mr. Snow, if unmerited, should be
removed.
Mt. C. Foams—No slur was thrown upon him by Mr. Phil.
lips. The Inquiet speaks for itself.
Mr. Aootenos.—Oh Mr. Phillips, yes, there was a slur
thrown upon Mr. Snow by Mr. Phillips co that occasion. I will
not hats all that hai come to my knowledge; but I know who it
was that marshalled the witnesses for that Inquest.
Mr. C. Pinit.trs.—lt was the duty of the husband to have the
fullest iniesdgation made into the circumstances attending the
death of his Wife:.
Mr. ADOLPIIII7I.--01! yes.
Sir R. Bilurt&—Well, I would advise you to kith round this
room which is something like the Rack Hole bf Militia, and do
sot at us havi ileitis witnesses in it.
Mr. Phillips (the husband of the deceased) hire attempted to
speak, but
Sir R. Blum told him he bad better leave his case in the hands
of his namesake, to Whom he had entrusted it.
Mr. C. Psolies—=My client Was only about to deny thit be bad
cast any imputation on Mr. Snow.
Mr. Snow here attempted to speak, but the Counsel on both
sides interfered to keep them 11111:13; In which they with difficulty
amended.
It was then arranged that Mr. ADOLPIIOII should apply again to
the Msgistrates to appoint a day for receiving the written informa-
tion, and that notice should be given of such appointment to the
Solicitor of Mr. Phillips.
The patties then withdrew.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
A man, between fifty and dzty years of age, named George
Cannon, who formerly kept a pubtk-house, was brought before
Mr. Alderman Buten yesterday. charged with knowingly uttering
a forged Bill of Exchange, purporting to be accepted by James
Ellis, Esq. the great hop•grower in Kent.
Mr. Isaac D. Cbild, a wine-merchant, is Bishorgate-street.
stated that a few days since the prisoner applied to him to discount
a bill driwn by himself en Mr. Ellis, of Barndng, foe the sum of
£47. It appeared to bear the acceptance of that Gentleman, and
was made payable at the George lon, in the Borough. He ad-
vanced 501. upon the biU inunediately, without any inquiry ; but
upon applying subsequently at the place where it was made pay-
able, he discovered the acceptance wit a forgery. The Signature
to the bill as drawer was that of the prisoner.
Mr. Schofield, of the George Inn, said be was well acquainted
with the hand-writing of Mr. Ellis, and could swear the signature
across the bill bad not been written by him. He produced a letter,
as a specimen of Mr. Ellis's hand-writing, the style of which was
strikingly dissimilar to that upon the bill.
Mr. Alderman &RCM asked if Mr. Ellis had had a good edu.
cation?

Mr. Schofield replied in the Mlrmatim.
The Asszaseas said he only put the quake. because be ob-
served the word " accepted" was spelt on the bin " excepted."
Mr. Schofield said he believed there were several of these ficti-
tious bills out. He was aware of two, in particular, drawn by
the prisoner by Mr. Crltenden, a farmer, at Horvath, and which
purported to bear his acceptance, and here the word " accepted"
was mispened " esped.
It was remarked that these orthoeraphical errors bad probably
been purposely committed, with the view of securing $ technical
objection to the indictment that the bill did not, in fact, carry
the averment of having been " accepted" by Mr. Ellis or Mr.
Critenden.
Mr. Child begged that the prisoner might be remanded for a few
days, to enable him to strengthen Ms case, some of the panics in-
terested living a considerable distance front town.
The prisoner offering no observations on the ease.
Mr. Alderman &ace consented to remand him for a week.
