ist tbe amen tof ,tbe peoceodinps• of the Coroner'4
Piques; oil Friday last, our Reporter was rather tad
,brief In stating one of the dialegnos that took place be-.•
tween Mr. Atic•lplatis and the Jim!. Weave PIN up the
outline by inserting tb dotal, trent .111 k .Tionts of
Saturday. u. vAlt ,nties lt•
"Mr. Brown.-1 contend that It ifitimislkies lit
know what provocations the people had received first?
or whether the soldiers attacked them before they were
struck with stones. • Mr, Adoliihns has told us that he
would call wily Sk few witnesses, whOse evidence would
shorten oar time, and clear up tbe matter, but the evi-
dence of this, witness does not do either.
"Mr..AooLelus.-LI am quite prepared to ripeet Such
observations as these 1 have now heard ripen 'whatever,
witnesses f may call. I maintain that this gentleman'i
evidence does prove provocation by the people. He
states that the soldiers were attacked by them, and that
their, ives were in imutiucat danger. "This provei the
provocation.
" Mr. Browii.—T deny it. •
"Mr. ADoLlitil:s.-1 date say you do, and that yOd
will denv•it by year Verdict."
.

This erpreasion seemed to have a very strong effect
on the Jury, several of whom cried out at the same
moment, ''Shame shame.'
" The Foreman.—lt is most scandalous, most
infa-
mous, in any Man to presume to ariticiPate our verdict.
" A Attros.kMr. Brown, tee tbirik,)—Mr. Adolphus,
you ought te be 'shamed of yourself—you iliould re-
member that you have already been turned out of society
.for your ill manners.
"Another Juror.—How dare you, Sir, presume to an-
ticipate what our verdict may be ?
[We cannot Say whether Mr, .Adotphns made any re-
ply to those remarks. *At least If he spoke, what be
said did not reach us.]
" Another Juror.—lt is highly improper for any one
to act thus in the Airy-room.
" Mr. alakie.—Brother Jurymen, I am sorry that
von should take any notice of any thing that falls from
Mr. Adolphus. I thought we had seen enough of the
nature of the beast to let him take his own way.
1" Mr. A DOLPHiIS.—I shall not answer any a those re-
marks. They who make them are gentlemen—of the
Jury here—what they are elsewhere I will not say.
" The Foreman.—We are .not Jew-gentlemen, at all
events, Mr. Adolphus; we werd never sent to Coventry,
as you were.
" A Juror.—Our pedigree ii at least as good as Mr.
Adolphnes,

" Mr. Spicer.-1 hope, gentlemen, you will let the
matter drop now, and let us g►o ou.
" The Foreman.—Yes, Mr. Spicer, but we are not to
allow Ourselves to be insulted by a brow-beating, bullying
Ohl Bailey Couniel here.
6' Cone:init.-1 thu: we bid better adjourn a little
till we cool.

" Nkr. Brown.—He comes here because he is paid. It
is his profession, hitt we are not paid."
The Morning Chroniele is astonished that such a
scene should have been exhibited in a .Im.y-room. We
are surprised it could have been forgotten that scenes
of a similar kind had been common even on more ele-
vated stages, when certain performers have happened to
he warmly engaged iu their parts, and that they have
ended la-something more serious than altercation. We
;recollect one of these polemic scenes that took place four
or iletyeaks ago, which an old acquaintance and occa-
sional correspondent thought worthy to be preferred
in verse. the narrative appeared in print soon after
the transaction; but as it may haveescaped the attention of
some, and the memory of others, we think we cannot gra-
tify our readers more than by giving it again publicity from
the copy with which we had been favoured by our friend:

TIIE BATTLE OF UMBRELLAS.
A row I sing, a Woody row,
Between two nsa-maids, where and how.
Their names first notify, my muse—
Fat Dotty Fus, and fair ANN DRIMS.
And next the scene of action tell—
A public-house at Clerkenwell.
Loose were their habits, though reports
Say, Ann and Doll were bred to Cauks:
Some vintners thus, while others ran,
That Carrie were bread to DOLL and ANN;
And like their bettirs, to look big.
karts too, forsooth, must wear a wig !
Now, though invidious it has seem'd,
DOLL fittest for a tap was decried :
But, no matter, out it fell,
That they fell out at Clerkenwell,
As each-a customer, they say,
Was serving in the usual way.
High wards and low alternate pass,
But ANN was high-loin to the last ;
While DoIIS-, 'tis by all agreed,
Was low. was very low indeed.
Next sing the cause, which, it appeari
Set ANY and Dott.v by Smears.
For, let us give the devil his due,
Both had a mule, if fame speak true.
Some say DOLL'S tongue too quickly ran;
Reflecting on the birth of Ann;
Others malntain'd, with equal strife,
DOLL ne'er reflected in her life :
Some go so far, indeed—oh, fle
That waxing warm—ANN gave the lie.
Lucky no pots were in the Bar,
Women are not particular,
Will missiles seize, the first that come,
And make no bones of breaking some.
Unlike the Amazons of yore,
Draw blood, who porter drew before.
But 'tis tio matter, out it fell,
That they fell out at Clerkenwell.
And now, the weapon sing, my muse—
By DOLLY used, and fair ANN Maws ;
ka ch having first, with threat'aing frown;
•Puli'd off her false hair and her gown.
Oh! could my Pegasus leap o'er
The sequel ! could I write uo morn !
140 Weldon, mortar, battle-axes,
Which ghosts haie made of cock-o-waxed;
No mean, ignoble bows and arrows,
They're only fit for crows and sparrows ;
No ponderous fragments of a rock,
Which only could produce a shock;
No lance. though It might make you cry oat,
That could, at best, but poke an eye oat;
Nor pistol, gun, or blunderbuss,
Were awl by AAN or Dolly
But. bepie dire ! dire
Must I then name it?—an embrella ;
Which eft-tie cheeks of Ann and Dom, • •
Iladahaded from tie beams of Sol.
;And now; at oos torrille blow.
Would send theta to tbirehades balm*. .
