TH E CORONATION.

Tyr
The platform on which the procession is to move be.
Nees Westminster-hall and the Abbey, is about a quar-
tee.of a mile length. All that is necessary for the
iiipenven to do respecting it, is finished ; and on
'Atesday commenced the covering the roof with
ollodoth. In the.meas time the out-door preparations
of imbrue individuals, for the accommodation of their
revelment with seats for the sperteele, are now in full
aiglivity in Oreat George-street, Palace-yard, and Perlis
metstotreet. Balconies are erecting in front of all the
booties, commanding a view, even of the most oblique
description, of the platform ; and these are to be let at
various prices, proportioned to the advantages which
they possess. The front of one small home alone has,
it issaid, been let for one thousand guineas! It appear',
however, that a plan has been adopted which promises
kmore extended degree of accommodation than was at
first contemplated, and by which seats commanding a
perfect view of the whole of the out-door procession
Aar be obtained at an extremely moderate price. This
Otte will embrace the erection of amphitheatrical
:leaches, ?Wog gradually from within about five feet of
the platform, to a height of nearly ton yards capable
4 teceiriNg, with ease and comfort, nearly 1000 per.
sons; anti running parallel for several hundred feet,
w!th the platform itself. The execution of this plan
commenced yesterday ; and the seite is the ()Arden
stitare, extending from St. Margaret's Church to Little
/ige-etreet, on one side the platform—and from the
caner of Urea* George-street to the Sessions House,
cad from thence to the western door of the Abbey, on
the other. The whole will be covered in with a spa-
cious awning, completely weather-tight ; and will be
lined with matting, crimson cloth, and draperies, in
nnison with the decorations of the platform; forming,
as it were, a part of one magnificient theatre. To add
re Its other recommendations, the gardens immediately
I.ehind will be fitted up with ranges of boxes or bars,
r•-tiring rooms, and other places; where every description
of refreshment may be had, upon the same scale, and with
tt.e mine degree of regularity, as in Vauxhall Gardens.
Marquees, boxes, and benches will be interspersed among
at trees and, to increase the general harmony of the
scene, hands of music will be stationed in different places,
to play during the intervals of the ceremony. The
ground thus to be occupied is stated to have been taken
br two men of large property, for a sum amounting to
come thousands of pounds, which sum is to go in liqui-
dation of a part of the expenses incurred by the Board
0: Works. .% Committee of Surveyors and Architects
Las keen appointed to superintend the various erections,
so as to secure such a degree of strength as shall pre-
vent accidents.
As the day appointed for the Coronation approaches,
the desire of seeing the preparations for it encreases ;
and to indulge that feeling as far as possible, some meat.'
sores of a very liberal kind are said to be in contempla-
tion.' The condescension of the Lord (treat Chamber-
are, which led hint, as we acknowledged last week, to
provide accommodation for such gentlemen connected
midi the press as will hare to render an account to the
public of the imposing scene, has been extended to the
moans of gratifying the popular curiosity more directly
and completely. By the end of this month, it is expect-
ed, that the fitling-np of Westminster Hall and Abbey
wil be finished. Between that period, and the 19th of
4111 P, (the day on which his Majesty will be crowned.)
a eery large portion of the public will be admitted to
wises preparations which leave been made for that oc-
ambito. •On Monday next, it is understood, the Lord
Omit Chamberlain will issue tickets to the amount of
dome thousand • and if this can be effected with order
agiregalarity:he intends continuing the like issue till
thin #tb, during which time from thirty to forty thou-
satrsons may be gratified with a sight of these pre-
ns. The hours for this indulgence will be
ten till three. The same indulgence will be grant-
edeart ten days after the Coronation upon a more eaten-
. Moll male.

that be had become a member of the •• Constitutional

Association ;" bat on estileetien. considering it ingots-
patible with his duties as an Alderman, he had with-
drawn from it. Mr. Hayward, however, instead of
'asking for an explanation on the hastier, which, if
be thought himself injured, would be a proper coarse
of proceeding, had that morning sent a gentleman to
him, to complain of the supposed injury, and to re-
quest that he (Alderman Garret) world swine hit
/Weald! He thanked the Livery for the situation in
which they bad placed him on the Poll. He had pro-
mised them that he world net solicit votes, and he had
kept his word. •
Alderman VINARLIS next addressed the Livery :
he thanked them for the situation in which they had
placed him on the Poll, without any solicitation on
his part.
A Oentlernan on the hustings applied to Sheriff
%Yakima,' for Mr. Hayward to address the Livery.
Alderman WAJTIIMAY came forward, and stated the
application that had been made to him; he said, air.
Hayward, not being a Liveryman, could not address
them without their permission; it was his (Alderman
Waithonan'r) wish that both sides shocd always be
heard, and accordingly, when he stood on the hustings
as a candidate, and a perron of the name of J. B.
Sharp had published a most infamous falsehood of him,
after refuting the vile slander, he tequested the Livery
to give Mr. Sharp a hearing, if he chose to address
them ; and be now submitted to them whether they
would, as a matter of candour, give Mr. Hayward a
heariar.

Some voices called for Mr. Hayward, but they were
woo drowsed is crier of "No, no .'

Mr. G,LLOWAT came forward and expressed his
regret that Mr. Hayward was not allowed t address
the Meeting, as he well knew how to use the arms of
reason and truth. He strongly ruloglised Mr. Hay-
ward, and said, high as Altfermi,' Garret was in re-
spectability, Mr. Hayward was not less high. Ur
lamented that Alderman Garret should ever have had
the misfortune of uniting his name with the " Consti-
tutional Association," which he considered likely to
be the cause of many evils.
Mr. Caoom did not address the Meeting.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,.

COURT OF KING'S RENCII, Jt sr 27.

THE XING r. GLOSSOP.

This was a conviction under a penal statnte obtained
before the Magistrates at Union Hall, In the ilorongh,
against the defendant, for performing at the Cobourg
Theatre, of which he is proprietor, the play of
" Richard Mc Third." A writ of Certiorari was
granted, on the application of the defendant. last Term,
for removing the Record of the proceedings-into this
Court, with a view to have the conviction quashed.
Mr. SC.%RLETT this day appeared in support of the
conviction.

Mr. MARRTAT, With whom was Mr. CARBERD and Mr.
ADOLPHUS, contended that the conviction should be
quashed on three grounds, viz.—first, because the Ma-
gistrates did not go to show that the performance of the
play was by the direction of Mr. tilossop. Secondly,
because it did not appear on the record of the convic-
tion when the witnesses .sere sworn: and thirdly, be-
cause the adjudication of the penalty by the Magistrates
was not correct according to the statute,
The COURT decided against those objections, and af-
firmed the conviction.

spent inargunsent between the Learned Gentlemen. Mr
Adolphus contending that the witness 'book be eon-
lined to give his evidence only to what passed between
the defendant nad himsel4 and net as to his motives for
the character in which he applied to Mr. Sharp, which
wasp rated by his Lordship. Under this restricti•o,
the ride** of Mr. held.* went no farther than se to
the receipt of the copies of the address of the Associ-
ation. with the list of sabsreibers aanszed.

On his cross-estamination by Mr. Adolphus, he said,
ho had arm attended any meeting of the Association;
did not go for the parrs*e of getting evidence flit this
information, but for general information; did not recol-
lect whether or not he bad applied to the Lord Mayor
before he saw Mr. Sharp, bat rather thought he had ;
never told Sharp he thought the Association a good one.
On being asked, if be had not said that Mr. 'Macke-

vay wished to do something to make himself known, be-
fore he went to India, Mr. Thackeray objected to the
question as irrelevant.
It was, however, persisted in ; and Mr. Parkins de-
nied having so said. What be said was, that he thought,
as Mr. Thackery had boned oat that the Association was
illegal, he oaght to have the credit of the discovery. He
never mentioned Mr. Tbackeray's uncle, nor did he
know or believe Mr. Thacketay was going to India.—
He thought the credit of the case might be useful to Mr.
Thackeray, as a young man, in his profession.
The printed address of the Association was then pnt
in as evidence, and certain parts of it read, particularly
the name of Mr. Sharp, as Honorary Secretary, and
again in the list of subscribers, and in the declaratory
resolution.

Mr. Shelton, the Clerk of the Peace for the City of
London, proved that the Association was not registered
at his office. Not one society, except the Freemasons,
had been registered with bins under the Act in question.
Mr. ADOLPHys read from Isis briefs list of several pub-
lic societies, of different descriptions, none of which,
Mr. Shelton said, were registere.

This closed the case for the informant.

Mr. A nnumus commented on the ease and the part of
the information, which, he contended, was not supported
by the slightest evidence. It would be absurd to sup-
pose that a Society like the Constitutional Association
was within the meaning of the Act passed for the Sup-
pression of Societies meeting for " treasonable and sedi-
tious purposes," when the very " Address" put in evi-
dence as a " Declaration" proved the contrail. The ex-
istence of the Association had not been proved; no evi-
dence given that they ever met. Mr. Parkins bad seen
only Mr. Sharp, alone in a room, and solitude and so.
ciety be had always understood were direct opposites.—
No proof lead been adduced but the list of subscribers,
and persons might be subscribers and yet no members.
Alter some remarks, in reply to the observations of Mr.
Thackeray, he concluded by selling upon the Lord
Mayor to decide, without regarding any of the threats
of proceeding*, in other Courts that had been made
use of.

The Lity Solicitor. after consulting with the LORD
MAYOR for some time, declared it to be his Lordship's
opinion. that the evidence did not support the informa-
tion, which he therefore dismissed.

The information against Mr. Murray was then with-
draw•n.

Bow-ATRELT.I NXA TO DE rRAVITT..-.V/K. Spike-
kv, a little boy, scarcely twelve years old, was brought
before Sir ROBERT BAKER yesterday, charged with
stealing twenty sovereigns from his school-master.
It appeared by the evidence of Mr. Stensoa, who keeps
a d4y-school in the vicinity of the Haymarket, that
this boy was allowed to take his dinner in the school-
room, in consequence of his parents living at some dis-
tance, and that he mailed himself of the opportunities
thus afforded him to open the master's desk and take,
out a pocket-book containing the twenty sovereigns.—
The property was immediately missed; but the ex-
treme youth of the prisoner prevented any suspicion
from attaching to him, till several days after, when
some of the other boys told the master that young
Spikeley laud a great deal of money in his pocket. In
consequence of this information he was taxed with the
theft, hut he stoutly denied all knowledge of it till a
constable was sent for, and to him he confessed that
he had stolen the pocket-book, and having taken out
two or three of the sovereigns, he sold all the others
for five shillings, to a lad be did not know !
It was also proved by other witnesses that he had
been seen with a sovereign or two and a quantity of
silver directly after the robbery.

Sir ROBSRT BAKER observed, that there was no
doubt he had cemmitted the theft, and had moreover
told an untruth respecting the disposal of the proper-
ty : but still it would be shocking to commit such a
child for a capital felony ; and he recommended that
punishment should be administered by the hand of his
father; or, if this was not thought sufficient, he
might he detained in prison a week or two.
In reply to this, the father and mother, who were
both present, assured the Magistrate that no such pu-
nishtneet would have the slightest effect upon him.—
It had, they said, been tried repeatedly to no purpose ;
for, young as he was, he had for several years been in
the cassia:it habit of purloining every thing which
came in his way, and bad thereby cosiderably injured
them. They therefore prayed the Magistrate that he
would commit him for trill, is order that be might
afterwards be sent to the Penitentiary I •
The distressing statement given by the parents was
fully corroborated by the constable, who said be bad
been frequently sent for to him, in consequence of his
having committed robberies, not only upon bisparenta,
but upon other people also.

lle was accordingly folly committed to Newpto, to
take his trial for the capital felony.

The /reran, Perry, tailed from Huber Grace, New-
foundland. on the list of Jaaaary, for Malaga, and has
nyi since been heard of.
