Coroner's Inquest.
The Times, 1824-10-01T00:00:00

A coroner's inquest was yesferday held at St. Bartholomew's Hospi- tal, before T. SHELTO T, Esq., on the body of a man whose namae was unknown, who was in the lhabit of sweeping the crossing oppo. aite Sweeting's-alley, near the Royal Exchange. John Cook, draper, deposed, that he was sitting on the coach-box of Kendall's Clapton coach, and was going down towards Cheap. eide; there was 3 cart4hden with two pipes of wine going in the game direction. Witness wag looking up at the clock of the Royal Ex- change as Ihe coach attempted to pass the cart, and on looking down he saw6 the deceased near the splinter-bar of the coach in the act of falling- lie intmedlately caught at the reins, and the coachman stopped as soon as possible; the man, however, fell immediatelv under the off wheel of the cart which went over the deceased's head'; tbe cannan was on the other side, and witness was convinced he was unconscious of the accident; the cart went on at the usual rate, and the coach was going at a gentle trot. The coachman stopped directly he heard of the accident. Richard Caton, a servant, stated that he was passing by Cornhill at the time the accident happened, and saw the deceased standing in the middle of the Street, with a broom in his hand; the cart and coaD> were going in the same direction. The cart just brushed the doceased, when the off splinter bar of the ceach caught the deceased, and knocked him down, and he believed both the wheels of the coach went over his head, and he expired almost jmmediately. The first witness was recalled, who said, wheni he saw the de- ceaged fall the wheel of the cart went over the head of the unfortu_ n)ate man, and that it was with much difficulty the coach avoided passing over his legs. William Birch, surgeon. said he saw the deceased in the hospital about two o'cIock on Wednesday; he was quite dead; his skull was dreadfully fractured, suifficient to cause his death. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and The Jur, afer a long consultation returned a verdict, that " the deceased was accidentally killed by the wheel of a cart going over his hea which caused his death ;" and a deod4nd of 5s. was levied en Le wbeelt CORONBR'S I_NQUEST.

The circumstances stated in thc ensuing paragrapli are of so singular a naturc, tllat wc hardly knowv hlow to give credit to them:- " It is said that a requisition has beeii madc by thc Spanish Govcrllmlnit, that in the adjustment of the claims " of' British and Spanish sulbjects, before the Commission 'sitting in Londoni for that purpose, there shall be included the losses of Spanish subjects, oaused by the destructieni of the frigates at the bieaking out of thc war. Some in- dividuals who suffered in their property by that svcnt lhave gonie so far, it is stated, as to prepare evidence for cstablis2ir.g those claims, whichi they have forwvarded to London." The losses sustainel by the dlestruction of the Spanislh frigates, at thc beginning of the long war ! And why not in- demnity, also, for the losses sustainedl at the taking of Porto Bello by Admiral VERNON ? as wcll as for those suffered from th;e capture of ihc Galleons, by the circumnnavigator ANsoN ? The Commission is sitting for the purpose of adjusting the claims wvhichi British merclhants have upon Spain for losses sustaine(d by them in their commerce with the South Americani States. And Spain had( acknowledlge(d the justice of the claims antecedently to ihe appointment of the Commissioni. Have we acknowlcdged the justice of any claims made by Spain for remunieration, otn account of the first vessels destroyed byus at the beginnling of the war, that those claims arc now to be thrust in for adjustment ? The losses of our rnercbantmnen are occasioned by pirates sailing under the Spanish flag; and wve havo a right,-and Spain has aeknowledgod the riglht, X fll upon her, eit'her to suppress the piracies committed under her flag, or to ac- knowledge the independence of the South American States,| in which case we:should cal uponL them to suppress the. piracies. Bpt Spain, - doing neither of these things, is-Ud* cessory to thie loss which we sustain, and whieh she is therefore.ohliged to-nike good.. If Spaini were aggrieved by our attempt to capture her frigates at the beginning of the war with her, the peace- the winding up of the war ten years ago-was the time for her to state her grievances, and require reparation. The bringing up the affair of the frigatCes now, is really opening the war again.

The mercharnts trading with Brazil complain loully of the condluct of the Post-Gffice, in having chargedl the packet . rate of postage on the letters brought by Ilis Majesty's ship Brazern from Rio (le Janeiro. The rule has been fbrmerly not to charge this rate On the letters brought by ships of war, anless there was no packet in port at the Lim. e of sailing; but in this case there wa- a p acket in the hlar- bour of Rio at the timie of the Brazen's departure,and which sailed a few days afterwards. Between thle packet anl the ship rate of charge there is a very material difference, the former being twice or three times the amount of the latter. To levy the full packet-rate, therefore, under the circum- stances described, forms a heavy tax oul the foreigll mer- chant. In thb present case, the packet, when it arrives, will principally bring duplicates of the letters sent by the Brazen. The merchants coeicersed have made applications ior redress to the conductors of the Post-office, whichl are at present under consideration. It mtay be alleged on the part of the Post-office, that. by ilhr early arrival oftthe Brazca, a benefit has heen gained by the merchants, equal to that which a packet could have afflarded; but the rmerchants inay then, with justice, require that the letters which are deliver- ed from the packet when it arrives, shall be redluced in postage to the ship-rate. If in one instance more has been performed, in the other there has been less than the implied contract of the Post-office with the merchants requirel. The postage of a morchant's letters, it should be observed, amlounts generally to a consi(terable sUII ; yet thcy do not so much complain of the present proceeding in the light of a pecuniary loss, as for the evidence they think its affords of a dispositioll to take unfair advantages of them by a public office. It is lioped that the mode in which their application is treated will remove that insinuation, and prevent its being revived on any future occasion. Nothing is more clearly the dluty and interest of a great lpublic esta- blishrment like this, than fixed honourable principles of action, never, on any account, to be deviated from.

Russia, it will be seen from an ukase of the Senatc, has been obliged to mAollify her outrageous tariff against whitc calicoes from foreig6n ports. It is pleasant to see this barbarous policy administering the lash to its own shoul- ders. The folly of the Imperial Government, however, in striving to force manufacturesamong an ignorant and agri- cultural people, to the detriment of tillage, is no whit more edifying than that of the British Parliarnent, by its cornl- law system, sacrificing manufactures almonig a rich aned ill structed people, for the sake of forcingt6illage.

1i mS was an action wvlereby the plaintiff's sought to recover the value of goods, amounting to 2,6111. i5s. 6d., the property of the plaintiff, bat on which the defendants nmade advanced at the request of a person Caumont, an agent of the plaintiffis in Londen. On be. half of' the defendant named it vas contended that the circamstances, which were complicated and uninteresting, took the case out of the general rute that a factor cannot bind the goods of his principal by a pledge. The COURr, in giving judgment, adverted to the recent com- plaiits made against the ruleof law on which the question depended. All the three Judges present (M;lr. Justice IATTLEDAr.I. having retired) expressed a decided opinion in favour ofthe policy ofthe law as tt at present stood. They deemed it of high importaRce tothe com- merce of England, that foreign merchants consigning goods to this country should feel the security which the rule now afforded them against the micconduct of their factors. At present the rule was clear ; and as the present case came fully within it, there must be judgment for the plaintiff's. The COURT rose again at two o'clock in consequence of the ab- sence of counsel; but threw out a strong intimation that, unless somnc cogent excuse were rendered on future days, thev would give judgment at once on the cass8 st.antling for argument before them.

A decree of the King of SPAIN, transmitted from Ma- drid under date of the 4th inst., shows in what manner constitutional or liberal ecclesiastics are to be dealt with. Their treatment will perhaps be more gentle than that of laics, under similar eircumstances. We are glad to find there are constitutiornal priests. The offenders in this re- spect may regain their personal freedom, but they cannot reclaim their :benefices. The profits arising from the sequestrations, it should seeih,are to swell the Sinking-fund. Thus,itshouldseem,thtt the state is plundering the church, even under the.Catholia F9ERnIAND.
