"If we had 20 guineas per day, we might like to spin it out, as well as Mr. Adolphus." Mr. Adolphu•.—l would not be in your company for 20 guineas a 'Mime, if I could avoid it. Here some delay took place in consequence of no other witness being ready, and a conversation ensued relating to adjuur aaaaa ent, which', however, cause to nothing. Mr. Adolphus then observed, that a mass of the name of Jones had sworn he saw Lieut. Gore shoot Rivkin d liu- lacy, and Jones ought to he called to idontity him. 'Die witness, Win.

A Juror.—Hail you pistols out with you me the lath ? Wiilll!94. —ll you look at your note., you will find I have answered that question already. Adolphus said, the better way would be to answer. Witness.—No, I had no pistols. I did not hour Capt. Mike. give any unless. He did not speak in any hearing. Mr. Brown.—Did you me Capt. Oakes fire ?—I did hot. Mr. Brown.—Did you see Lieut.

The Coroner.—W by, he says he should know the man who did shoot him, and that lie does not know this gen. tlernatti.—Do you know, Ctollily, that he is not the man r Cronay.-1 never saw him iu regimentals that 1 know of. The witness here depot ted. A discussion arose as to who caused the witness, Jones, to he si 111111 l oned. The Foreman said, he had made inqniries upon the sub ject, and he found it was Mr. Wilson who had rause(' Jones to be summoned, so that lie was Mr. Adolphus's witness. Alr.Adolphies.—Hc is not my witness. Mr. Henson certainly summoned him, but hu cannot be called any witness. Ai this moment a loud hissin.• and hooting was heard at the door, and it turned out to be in COlistelillellCC of Lieut. Gore passing through the crowd, and 1 )i ing recognized. The groa • g was excessive, and it WAS with some diffi culty that Mr. Gore made his way into the house. lie entered, and several Jurors rose and expressed hope that no personal violence had been oili•red to him. Mr. Gore said there had not been any. Mr. Brown.-1 hope you had no occa,ion to be alarmed, Mr. Gore. Mr. Gore.—Not at all, sir, I thank you. The Foreman protested indignantly against such ruf fianly conduct, and said he %tts sure all the Jury would feel the same as he did upon the subject. Brown.—Lieut. Cure shall not be insulted. He is entitled to our protection, and we will protect I , even at the hazard of our lives. Whoever insults him insults ua, and t h rough us the whole station is insulted. I Hill risk my life to screen him Irvin instill. " So wall I," reiterated almost every one of the Jury. Mr. Gore bow. i politely. Mr. Brown hoped, that if Mr. Gore went out again the Jury would all go with him. Several Jurors regretted that some of the people had not been taken into custody by the police. Mr. A dulplins said, it would now be proper fur him to mention to the ( . olier and Jury, the cuts rse lie meant to pursue. lu the list place, lie iiitentled to prove that the HMIs It Cc imicitccd with the " snub," and that the soldiers committed too act of violence until they were driven to it by the conduct of the mob, and their lives enalaugered. So h for the general principle of the day. lle ahuald also prose, that toe witness Spiatt, who had sworn to Mr. Gore's identity, at the other house, did not six upon Lient. Gore at the inspection at Knightsbridge. Neither of the officers fi xed upon was Lient. Gore. lit the next place lie should prove by the order book, that Lieut.
