COLONEL Si'. 301IN eminent advocate for reaction was cited to the Kingsgate Street Court of Requests, on Monday, at the suit of Mr. Linney, an army clothier, in Jermyn Street, for the hire of a colonel's uniform. It appeared from the clothier's testimony, that he had been called up by a most imperative knocking at his door, about twelve o'clock on the night preceding the Coronation-day. On going down stairs, he found a horse and gig standing opposite his door, in the care of Mr. St. John Long, and a tailor of Regent Street. Mr. Long said that his object in calling him up was to borrow a military dress to wear at the Coronation. After a long conversation, the man of friction consented to wait at home until six o'clock, and left the clothier with an injunction to lose no time, and to make the dress a colonel's uniform. The uniform being finished, was taken home at half-past five ; when. Mr. Linney was informed by the servants that Mr. St. John Long hat left home, in his private clothes. There was some doubt whether the hour stipulated was four or six o'clock; but the Court, thinking that the clo- thier ought to have somewhat for his labour, ordered Mr. Long to pay him 11. 5s.; his charge was I/. I9s. 11d. It would be a curious question to solve how many colonels of the friction kind were at the Coronation. - There was certainly a great number of military men there, whose coats seemed to be fitted on for the first time.
