against the motion of Mr.. O'Hagan for the names
OF the witnesses, a correspondence has taken
place between the clerk OF the Crown and the
master of the Crown office in the Court OF
Queens Bench, Westminster. The result is,
that the practice of the English court is declared,
BY the officer, to be precisely as it had been de-
scribed in the affidavit Of Mr.. Coppock, read in
support of Mr.. O'Hagan's motion, it being the
invariable rule to furnish the names Of the wit
nesses and the caption, with the office copy of
the Indictment when applied for by the party
accused. So rests the matter at present. But
still the trayersers are deprived of the names of
the witnesses.
