COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 6.•

Michaelmas Term emonenced this day. The post-
ponement of the Coronation, which has entirely shut
up Westminster Hail, rendered it necessary to provide
some other ace ttttt istmlation fur the Judges of this
Court, and accordingly the Guildhall of the City of
Westminster has beets fitted up for that purpose, with
the traterials of the Conti taken down in Westminster
Hall, and the arrangements in point of convenience
and space, are certainly more advantageous than the
old Court afforded. Att anti-chamber of the same
building has been fitted up for the Hail Court, with
the 'materials of the Sessions Court. and ui the
whole the Judges seem to have benetitted by the con-
trivance which necessity has suggested.
The Common Pleas moE:chequer Courts are holden
in the old places, the enteances being front Palace-
yard and the lower part of Parliament-street. The
Court of Chancery is of course holden at Lincoln's Inn.
'flue only Judges who sat in the King's lien, h to-
day were, Mr. Justice HATIAT and Mr. Justice IlEst,
and in con,equenee of the absence of the other Mem-
bers of the Court, whose attendance in the House of
Lords, we presnme, could not be dispensed with, no
business of public importance was transacted.

WARWICIeSIIIIIg

State of the Poll (sth day), at three o'clock.—law-
let, 1,y03 ; Spooner, 439.—This contest will Most pro-
bably afford souse amusement to the gentlemen of the
long robe. Coventry contains Irons SOO to 1,000
freeholders, and it has been most correctly ascertained
that Mr. Lawley cannot poll more than thirty of
them. All these votes depend upon a question of
right, which no doubt will come under the discussion
of a committee of the House of Commons. The ques-
tion is, whether the inhabitants of Coventry, who are
freeholders, have a right to vote for members for
the county, Coventry being a city and county of itself
The resident freeholders do not exercise their fran-
chises at an election for the city of Coventry, as none
hut freemen of the city vote ; they therefore contend,
that, as Coventry is situate within the county of War-
wick, they hare a right to vote upon the present oc-
casion. This point has been most ably argued by
Mr. Taunton, Mr. Spooner's Counsel,- before Mr.
Clarke, the sheriff's assessor, and very feebly defended
Isv Mr. Harrison, as counsel for Mr. lawley ; but the
m sss ser, who is a decided friend of Mr. Lawley ; has
determined against their right. The sheriff, however,
has agreed that all their names shall be taken at Co-
ventry by persons deputed by hint for that purpose;
and an agreement in writing is to be signed by Mr.
I.awley's friends, that, provided a committee shall es-
Itahlish their right, the whole number shall be added
to the pall in favour of Mr. Spooner. That right es-
tablished, Mr. Spooner had a decided majority over
Mr. Lawley, at 3 o'clock, on Friday afternoon,
of npwards of 200. The contest is expected to last
several slays, and be a very severe one.

On Friday 14st, an Inquisition was taken before G.
Gwynne, Esq. the Coroner for the county of StissPX,
on the hotly of Allan Anscombe, of l'hailey,(a servant
in husbandry to Admiral Itanier,) who died in conse-
quence of the v:olent injury he received from two men,
named Stein's and Ashdown, under the following
eircumstaticr:.:—

l'hillis Ridley, deposed, that on Saturday the '2 lat
of October lost, about three o'clock ifs the site .
as she was Leaking out of her window, she saw Allan
Anscombe, quietly driving a waggon, drawn by mu
horses, the properly of Admit-II Rainer, on the Turn-
pike Road of Chailry C , his right band twin;
next the horses, is hen two young men, whose names
she has since learnt, are Stevens, and Jame'
Asholowne, came up on the u f side of the horses,
and struck the one in the shafts several times
with a halter; that the deceased then went rotenet
to the tail of the wsggon, and being followed by Stevens
and Ashelowne, lee, the deceased, laid his hand on
Steven's shoulder, lent without the least degree of vio-
lence that she could see, when Stevens struck him a
violent blow in his face, which felled him to the ground,
and on his getting up, he suffered similar violence, and
while lying on the ground was spitefully (as deponent
expressed it) kicked both by Stevens and Ashdowne.
rue witness, thinking Anscombe would be killed, ran
and called her neighbours, but on her retnrn found
Anscombe on Isis legs, and walking with great diffietrity.
When assistance arrived, the assailants ran off, and the
deceased proceeded on with his horses, though in a very
feeble state from the injury he ha-I received. She did
not see the deceased strike either of the assailants, who
were afterwards taken up, and committed to our House
of Correction.

The above testimony was corroborated by two other
witnesses.

Henry Chambers Versall, of Newark, surgeon. de-
posed, that between seven and eight o'clock of the
evesmieg of the 21st of October, he first attended the
deceased, that he found hint in a perfect insensible
state, that there were several serere bruises on the
deceased's face, and particularly about the eyes. That
it was with great ditseulty he could extract blood
fro o his arm, and he was in a great stupor. That
this witness understood the deceated had been
beaten by two men, and he attributed the state
and condition in which the deceived was in to
the injury he had received, front the violence of
blows. That he attended him again the next morning,
and found him s. •what released front the stupor
and heaviness under which he had Illontreml on the
preceding day, but still very ill from the effects of the
injury he had received ; that he attended him after-
wards Saturday, antlibe still laboured under
drowsiness aad stupor, atimloon Sunday morning, the
29th October last, the symptoms of stnpor and drow-
siness increased, and witness then began to conceive
there was danger, and on the next morning, witness
again visited him, and the symptoms were aggravated.
Witness then called to his assistance Mr. Hodson, both
attended the deceased the game evening, and he was
then in a complete state of insensibility, and continued
to get worse unit Thursday morning last when he
died:; that he has this 3d Nov. in the presence of Mr.
Hodson, examined the head of the deceased, that the
brain was generally slightly inflamed, and on the left
side inch appearances were very munch increased, and
there was a smajl portion of extravasated blood on the
left side, under the l)ura .Natter, and from haring
watched the appearance of the attack of the deceased,
and the discoveries made on examination of the inter-
'nal part of the bead, he verily believes the deceased's
death was occasioned by external violence of a blow or
blows on the head or some part thereof.—Verdict—
Manslaughter.

'f he offenders, who were in custody, were by the
C,oronerconitnitted to Horsham gaol, to take their trial
for the aggravated offence.
At the Liverpool Sessions, a smart clever look-
ing young woman, named Mary Jackson, was sen-
tenced to be transported fur seven years. She had
robbed a respectable young woman, fretn Wigan, of a
quantity of wearing apparel. In her defence, she
said, m that the person had lent her clothes, and had
corn. to Liverpool to learn her (prisoner's) trade. My
lead. (said she) is that of a thief. I wan going to
teach her shop-lifting; I always was a thief, and al-
ways will be nue; it does nbt signify what sentence
you give we, for whenever I ane at liberty I will steal
again. I will never *ant while there is a house Or a
shop in England to be robbed.' After setitenee of
transportation had b,.. passed *pother, she remarked
it was bat a 14611 apprenticeship;' the would noon ire
to smiling *gala.
