And why should zoldiers, whether on or off duty, be expected to submit without resistance to any injuries or insults which the sovereign mob may think proper to inflict' upon them ? They do not resign the rights and privileges of citizens oh asStuning' the duties of' the soldier; they still retain the inalienable right of self-defence, and may still repel force with force; and we see not why Sheriff Waldman, with his posse of unshaved compatric at his heels, should order peaceable soldiers into their hartr.cks, solely because, on passing them, he takes upon himself to-imagine' that " he does not like their. looks. " - Our soldier:: have hitherto been as remarkable for their orderly and citizen-like conduct in peace, as for their bravery and courage in war ; and it is lamentable to think that the ignorance of a London Sheriff; and the insolence of a Londonmob, may have the effect of souring the feelings and irritating the passions of a-branch of the community, on which the glory, welfare, and even safety of the nation must always so materially depend. We cannot better conclude, than by quoting some remarks on the abuses of a cOroner's Court, from a judicious periodical publication " While the riots constitute so :violent an outrage upon decency, the proceedings of the inquest on.the sufferers threaten as great an outrage upon justice. If foreign nations truiniph at the -ebullitions of our mobg, arid the awkwardneSs of our police, what opinion will-they ,entertainof the impartiality and efficacy of our- tribunals? If things Continue as they have commenced, will they not justly remark that the worst court of justice in Europe does not require amore radical reform than an English coroner's inquest ? AV--do not wonder that such a tribunal should be found wanting upon great occasions, for upon small occasions 'it is incessantly- abused. - No cases come before it more frequently Than cases of suicide, and a vast majority of them are decided it the slightest regard to the duties of the presiding officer, or the solemn oaths of the jurymen: That the old laW against suicide had better be repealed ; that the present age will not consent to see men buried in the public roads, and that the children of an unfurtonate felo de se ought net to be stripped of , his property and turned into the streets, may be all quite true. But while the legislature is of a different opinion, no sophistry can excuse the generality of verdicts respecting suicide. If the jury seem anxious to do, their duty, they are reminded of the consequencei oladhering strictly to their oaths. if a witness wishes. to, tell. the truth lie . is discouraged and even stopped--and the coroners always-n-evi-amend a verdict of lunacy. Can they be surprises} therefore when a political question unhappily comes before them, at finding that they are unable to moderate the passions of the.jury over which they, preside—that they are insulted in their, own courts by radical attorniel and partizans • and that the idea ,of doing even-handed justice is abandoned? If they think such consequences extraordinary they will have none.to support theni in their opinion ; and if their proceedings are not altered, their jurisdiction must ultimately be abolished:"
