INQVERT ON RICHARD HONEY. Continued frogs first page. Mr. Brown—You have jnst Dow said a questions of sokvsionsi opinion may be put. If I had asked a tpv•ineker such a i molai it might have bees iseproper. The question was finally at. Witness—lt might have been the horse was cut by a .10re, hot it is not probable. A Juror—Yes have said the oaken who west out on the 14th were properly accoutred; bow were they as rimmed? Witness—According to Geld-day orders; semetinses they carry pistols on those occasions; maiden's they do not—it is left to their discretion. By field-day orders is meant the same order as on field-days. It is not customary for the soldiers to carry ball cartridges on field days. By Mr. Awn...nue—When Lieutenant Gore was sent oat be was sent to take charge of one of the gates of Ilyde-park, without express reference to the civil power. By the Foreman—Ball cartridges were given oat on the 14th, as they always are when the men are sent out to assist the civil power. Ido not know whose duty it is to give out the ball cartridge. By another Juror—Are there any means of knowing the names of the men at Cumberland gate ?-1 do not know; A certain number are taken from each troop. So there is no possibility. if any thing Is done amiss, that you can tell what men are out ?—A certain number are taken from each troop, the names are not taken. You hare said that the troops went out under the command of the civil power, but you say. that the de tachment at Cumberland-gate had not reference to the civil power ?—Capt. Oakes's detachment was hider the civil power, the detachments at the gate were under the direct orders of the Horse Guards. A conversation took place as to the means of pro curing information of the names of the men present at Cumberland-gate. Several of the Jurymen expressed themselves in very warm terms of the obstructions thrown in the way of justice, by the concealment of the names of the soldiers present. Some of the Jurors declared their determination to continue the investigation for a twelveitontb if it were necessary till they got at the names. Mr. Brown—Now, Colonel Cavendish. we ask you as a witness and an officer, who is the proper person to get at the names?—The Adjutant is the person, if any, but he cannot give you a correct list. Mr. Brown—We have had him already. The Forems.s—lt is no use their attempting to con ceal the offender, or to threw obstacles in our way, for we are determined to probe the transaction to the bot tom. A Juror—The officers bare attempted to ridicule us, and throw every impediment in oar way, and to ob struct the coarse of Justice. If ignorant soldiers had done this, their ignorance might have been some pal liatioa of their ooeduct ; their esperior officers might have known better. A Juror—Do you know the same of the man whose horse was wounded-Yea; Ford. As soon as the witness's evidence was read over, a Juror (Mr. Blakie) addressed hint to the following effect : , —Colonel Cavendish, I calumet refrain from taking this opportunity of adverting to the conduct of a part of your regiment, when we, the Jury, attended at the gate of your barracks for the purpose of being _admitted to be present at thwiespoo.--- , We were on that occasion assailed as& assaulted la a most outrageous manner, and against that outrage 1 now protest in the name of the Jury. You will have the kindness to make known to your officers and the men how sensible we all are of that outrageous coo duct, and that the reception we that day met with will lung remain in our memories. The Foreman—l am persuaded that the language 9f my brother Juryman conveys the unanimous senti ments of the Jury. Jury, unit rore—lt is our unanimous opinion. A Juror—Colonel Cavendish was present at the time, and was the officer who ordered the soldiers to do their duty. Another Juror—That dety was, 1 suppose, to sabre pe, if we did not obey. Colonel Cavendish wished to know whether the Jury would require his further attendance, as be bad particular business in Derbyshire, and had only re mained in tows fur the purpose of at tending the in vest. A Juror—lf we require your further attendance, we will let you know. Colonel Cavendish stated that he was under the se renity of leaving town, bat that be should return es Saturday. He was allowed to withdraw. Magaret Yule was next called, and deposed as fol. lows :—I am servant to Mrs. Dorset, living at No. 11. Great Cumberland-street; I saw the soldiers come through the Park-gate; at that time I saw a horse falls I saw the hearse come, and I observed the people tars the heads of the horses towards Oxford-street, and the soldiers turning them back again ; I saw the crowd throw stones at the soldiers, and the soldiers cut at t e c •nty•l with their swords t was not nigh eu,orgh tur see whether they were cut or not; I saw none of the nellliers ire. By a Jarer—l saw a soldier fall from his horse ; I did nut see any thing thrown at the horse ; the co lour of etbe soldier's coat was red ; I did not see a man shot. By Al r. ASOLTIVOI-1 was at the balcony of the first foot window ; I did sot see any thing thrown at the soldier. Aeot.enve then asked whether she would wider take to swear that nothing was thrown, and a long al teecatien ensued between the Learned Gentleman and the Jury as to the propriety of this question. The question was at length put by the CORONBI, and Abe witness replied, that nothing was thrown, to she best of her knowledge. Mr. AsoLeave observed, that the Jury would. no deiabt, do their duty according to their oaths and consciences ; bow they did it, seaokind and posterity •woold judge. The Foanwan—That is an insinuation. A Juror—You have no right to throw out such an insinuation. Another Juror--Nothing shall intiesidabe us ; no- Mot shall prevent us front discharging our duty. , Juror (to Mr. Adolpbus)-1 think you have no sitto be here at all. e POSIRMAK—We wish to be satisfied of your right to be present : we wish you to stew by what sushi,- rit yea are bete. Kr. Aboarevs—Counsel never produce authority to prwify their preseace. A Juror—ls it not a novel feature. Mr. Coroner, for L and Solichen to Invest? Tie Coorinsult has not uatll hapset) , been every common thing. A Jaren—After this obeervatloo, I shish Itf. Adol phus, if be bas say delicacy, will feel himself called era to retire. The Foreron—l wish to bow whisthee he Ms ally legal tight to be here at all ? The Denser —Penns have acted here as Cattail without aay immediate watbority, sod we are bound to bear on one side as well as the other. We do sot sit here to find a man guilty, but to inquire into all theidr cusistances of the can. Mr. Adolphus uppers to be here for the purpose of tailing witnesses for our further satisfaction. A Juror—The question which be wished to put to this timid woman, seemed to me to ban as other ob ject than that of thwarting the ends a justice. We should be glad to know for whom Mr. Adolphus at tends.. Mr. Molpbus—l attend here for those for whom Mr. linen has hitherto appeared ; for those to whom ques oos have bees put, and requestioss made, and who ban been supposed to be implicated is this trans., action. The Coroner recommended the Jury to proend is the Inquiry. The Foreman—lf be has no legal right .M be hors. we will sot suffer him to dictate to us. A Juror—We will not suffer him to dictate to as an der any circumstances. The Coroner said they had already heard Mr. Waith man on one part, and they were bound therefore to bear Mr. Adolphus on the other. Mr. Waitinan—l must again repeit that I appear bore for no party ; 1 have never assented the character of an advocate, and my only object has been to assist is investigating the truth. If I knew of a murder having been committed, and met with • man capable of giving important testimony with respect to that murder, I should feel it my duty to assist in bringing that testi mony forward. I have done this, but I did not do it without a written request from the relatives of the de ceased. With regard to that part of the proceeding which tends to implicate any individual, I have taken no part whatever. That is a duty which the Jury is no &obi bound to perform ; but having laid the facts be fore you, I bare discharged my duty, and it is my inten thea, unless some particular occasion should arise, not to ores my month again before this Inquest. If I bad a client 1 should have no reluctance in asentioniog his name ; and this is the difference between myself and Mr. Adolphus, for he seems to sandier all maakind. The Coroner observed, that some persons had cer tainly been pointed at in the course of the inquiry. Mr. Waithman said, that if he was the person al luded to by the Coroner, he repelled the imputation of his having pointed at any individual. The fact was, that if he had a suspicion on the subject, he believed his opinion differed materially from that of the Jury. He had some strong reasons for his present opinion, though undoubtedly circumstances might; arise tol shm it. The Poresoaa.-4 Atoll se to adjourn, and ascertain the right of Mr. A phial to interfere is our proceedings itefore we proceed. We' are completely taken by surprise. A Juror--Certainly; rather than proceed in this way 1 move an adjournment. 'lite Coroner—l think Mr. Adolphus bas authority to ask any questions for the purpose of elucidating the truth. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that If he bad an advocate to contend with he should know how to proceed. In the present case it was scarcely possible for him to answer an objection without increasing the ill-feelings of the persons to whom he addressed himself. file was us doubtedly prepared to maintain his right of attending as Counsel in that place, and with regard es the goes tin which had prodused all this distiolin, it was on of the most ordinary questions pat in a Court of Justice. Nothing was more common what the wh oopee swore to the absence of a fact spell his own knowledge, than to ask him negatively wbether be would undertake to swear that the fact had , sot hap pened. This was one of the simplest questions that could be asked ; it was purely elementary ill was.in fact, the " exclusion of a coaclusion." A Juror—Your object was evidently to thwart the ends of justice. We wan , to know for wham you appear ? Mr. ADOLPIIIII-:-I tan scarcely imagine that 1 am sitting among Englishmen, when I hear the tight of a Counsel questioned to attend on behalf of the accused. A Juror.—No person is accused. Mr. ADoutays—Can any man lay his bud on his heart, and say that nobody is accused ? Several Jurors—Nobody. Coroner--fiestiomen, will you please to proceed ? A Juror—l fwe are to have such obstacles thrown in our way, I move an adjournment. The Foremaa—l think we ought sot to renal further, until we hare obtained professional advice. The Coroner--I think Mr. Adolphus is legally en titled to be here. The Foreman—lf you take upon yourself, Mr. Coroner, so to decide, I have no objection to proceed. Josiah B.own, No. 2, Brest Cumberland-street, saw the whole of the Procession. lie saw dragoons sta tioned some one side of the gate, some the other. They sere headed by a thin tall gentleman; be should not know him again. The people were all very quiet till within 20 minutes before the corpse came. The rain came on, and the dragoons were patting on their cloaks. When the hearse came, a person attired is a cloak came and said something which I could not hear, and the soldiers began to ride shoat and cut with their swords. Sooa after the soldiers began to ride among the per ple stones *ere thrown;—that did sot last long. T people were then crying shame!" " murder!" " butchery!" Soon after the gate ; the people endeavoured and there was a great contest-- , ' lag to get the people from was got through; then one time I thought they ford-street ; the horses some mother. When the soldiers appeared to leave down this way (toward,' direetly after that the soldiers set OW . gel way a horse fell se a side. At that time there were so stows threwsu Sees after l heard the firing roiled the censer, sad a man was brought *a a shatter• As the sou Iris brought mu the shutter there were great cries of "alit. der I" and " shame!" The man was carried off, sad the people this dispersed different wsys sad Imam very valet. The soldiers afterwards assembled in Caw het land-street, and after staying ten similes rode Off, and I saw no more of them. The Gnomon then asked *bat other witness was to be maimed ? The Foreman said, the trumpeter and t►e corporal wits bad been summoned bad net appeeoed. A Juror observed, that perhaps Mr. Adolphus had given than orders not to some. Mr. ADOLPMUIII can give no orders; I can give advice only. Mr. Orem—That comes to the same thing. ADOLPeIIh..I have not said that I have given any advice on the subject. Mr. Oren—The thing speaks for itself ; the men have been summoned and they have not come. Mr. Arsommus—What advice I have given, I am answerable to man for. A Jaror—We have nothing to do with Mr. Adol phste's advice; we must endeavour to enfore the at teotiance of the witnesses. Another Juror—Whut is the course to be takes' if the witnesses summoned do not attend ? The Comnsan.—When you spew me that the sum mons has been served upon an individual, and be 4 lois not attend, 1 will issue a warrant to bring him, but a reasonable time must be allowed for his attendance. One of the Jurymen stated, the summoning officer had been sent to the Barracks, and that one of the men who was asked, had said he did nut know the trnmpeter, and that the other who was summoned (the corporal) who had already been before the In quest, was not then in the. barracks. The summoning officer had now gone again to the Barracks and had not returned. Mr. Blakie said he wonld put one question to Mr. Ado . phus, if he would answer it, viz. :—whether he had spoken with Mr. Henson respecting the appear ance of the trumpeter. Mr. ADCLPUUS said, he certainly could not answer such a question, because it was a rule that Counsel not only might not. but must not disclose what passed at consultation. Whatever passed between Counsel and Attorney was sacred, it was intended fur the benefit of a third party. and the disclosure of it would subject a Counsel to general balmy or contempt. It was one of the advantages. however, that the employment of Counsel gave, that they never communicated with wit nesses. All their knowledge of the witnesses was de rived through the Attorneys, and thus the administra tion of justice was kept pure. The Coaomaii.—We had better adjourn till the witness ran be fonnd. A Juror asked whether the Coroner would grant a warrant to bring up the witness ? The Comma* said, reasonable time must be first al lowed for him to appear. After a short pause- A Juror observed, there mere the four silken, who, it had been suggested by the Foreman, should have been summoned. The summons had not yet been is sued, as there was a panes the gammons bad better be directed to them now. There were witnesses who wonld identify them. The Coaoxin —What are the names. Mr. On tars.—The Clerk has them. A Juryman (we believe) observed, no doubt they will be advised not to appear. Mr. preen.—Tben we must have a warrant to bring them. Summonses were then made out for Captain Oakes, Lieutenants Hail, Storey. Clore and Terry. The CORegill then asked, for what time the Jury would have the witnesses summoned. The Jurymen seemed to think that it would be bet ter to adjourn till Wednesday. Mr. Atm:menus said, that though be might he in bed favour ii make any such request, he should beg, that if the Jury adjourned over to-morrow, they would ed. jeers till Thursday. One of the Jurymen said, Thursday would be Top ineonvenient to him. It was them settled that the Inquest should ha 14 learned to Wednesday, and thence to Friday. A Juryman iskeii whether they could summon the afters in the regimentals they wore on the 14th ? Mr. ApoLenus asked. how they could suppose there weld be sue wer ? A Juryman he had himself doubted it. The inquest was then adjourned till Wednesday, two o'clock. POLICE. APFIAT AT KNIGIITAMILTIMBIL-WM. Griffiths, Wen. Oigg, and several others *ere brought up at Marl boreagli-street, charged with being concerned in the above affray. George Wane, constable, stated, that after the riot act was read in the barrack-yard, he and several other constables were ordered out to diverse the mob that had collected, and that on the appearances of the oSoers the people seemed to retreat, bat that the prisoner Griffiths turned round, sad called out, is Stead, cowards, stand," and seemed unwilling to re tire ; he could not, however, swear if the words, " Stand, cowards, stand," were addressed to the peu ple or to the °Seers. Wv. Craig, soistable, corro borated the above statement. and wee positive the words alluded to the people. This prissier was ad mitted to bail, and the others were discharged.

' Econauson, AUG. 23.—Rxectrrion..—On Waimea day morning, at half-past eight o'clock, John Resin and William Sutherland, convicted on the 16th - July last of housebreaking and robbery. and esedues. ed to death, were brought out for execution. mewled by the Rev.
