THE LATE MR. HARRIS AND S...
THE LATE MR. HARRIS ANID SOrIRA STOcKs.-An al- tercation has for several days past existed between the committee of the unfortunate Harris and the parochial officers of Bedditigron, as to which party was liable to pay the expenses incurred there. bv the lamentable affair. It appears that after the coroner's jury had returned their verdict, they sat down to a dinner, for whiich was charged 5s. per head. The committee have refused to defray this expcnse, on the grounds of its being not only an exorbi- tant, but an illegal charge. accor(ling to the law relative to co, roners' inquests, hich only awards 4d. to each juryman. The com- mittee havc also rejected paying the expenses incurred at AIr. George's, the Pleugh, by Sophia Stocks, and contend that thewhole ainountshould fallupon theparish,as in allothereases ofaccident. The parish officers however, are of a differentopinion,and are determdis- ed to enferce the paymentof the bill from the committee, and have refused to give up the watch and pencil-case belonging to MIr. Rich- mond, the clerk at Bow-stree, and also the duplicateof Ilr. arris's watch, whicht was pledged for 61. lOs. at a pawnbroker's in Prinees'- street, Soho, and was found in his pocket. Sophis Stocks still re- mnains at the Plough; she is fast recovering, and il r. Weaver, thie surgeon, in Blackmore-street, Clare-market, awd Mr. Wallace of Croydon, have given It as their joint opinion that she cain bereaioved with safety.
