THE ROYAL 'WE.'
From 'Amused':— 'The proceedings ot :
inquost* held Ixv riie City Coroner iLsmliy I
afford plenty of entertainment. The latest ?
joke is the adoption by the Coroner of tho I
roy.il 'We' in sneaking of himsell (lide the I
Colem&n and Lacey inqunsts). Not bein^ '
ns deeply versed in iho law afi the Coroner ;
'themselves.' I am unable to sjv whether
the lateM Coroners Act. offers any ground
or authority for that pretension- but f
shonld be much surprised if. it aid. The
C-oroncr now dispenses with a jiirv; =o
possibly hn rcRards himself as Cormier and
six honest and true jurymen rolled into j
one. nn.l therefore plural. To quote from a
classical poem:—
?I'll Ix1 .Iiidsrc. I'll l)fi jury.'
SaM CTinrJDR old Fury:
'f will try tlip w1k-1o r.tiis--
And condemn you to death.' '
