the Editor of the Noxra-Cunva Dany New:
Sin,—What Iam about to relate is of incredible uaturethat, forfear Imay bbe accused of dreaming, I shall not mei any names, and I bog that even the locality be kept secret, At an inquest, after all the evidence hind been token, the Jury retired to consult, and after a minute's absence rolurued into Court, and delivered their verdict, Thereupon' ensued a discussion which it la almost impossible to describe accurately, but which I shall endeavour to do justice to, eR—I shall not record that verdict.
Joxon—Th our time, for three days, has been wasted.
I aboli sond Court, and wait for an answer.
Toxon—Meanwhile you had b cord the verdict, or allow us to sign it.
The CononeR—I shall do nothing of the sort, I may be wrong, but I do not agree with the verdict.
Tonon—Plo that la writing. that. ihe Conoxen—I am not hound to do JuRoR—It would be wrong to wait till you get an anewer from the Supreme Gourt, because meanwhile one or all the Jurors may die, and the verdict than be recorded at all. If yo doubt as to how you should pro sult the Rules and Regulations by the Supreme Cuurt, or if you will allow me to point out the Rule, you will find that you have to enter everything on the minutes of proceedings immediately after the evidence, You are not authorized to do otherwise.
The Conoxen—Silone 1 will not be dictated contempt of Court. it you, Jurok—Pardon me. Lam not criminal, Lam a member of the Court, and you have no right to commit me," You were at a loss to know what you should do, and I am endeavouring to put you right 5 but if you object I aliall not say another word, The Coxoxer—You have said too much Sir, already, and I will not hear another word. Your conduct is most reprehensible.
The Coroner then consulted some book, and wrote the verdict in the minutes of proceed d after the Jury lind affixed their signatures, he said, I shall not. the verdict unless I am ordered to do so by the Supreme Court."
