• ADJOURNED INQUEST
ON THE BODY OF RICHARD HONEY, SHOT NEAR •
CUMBEBLANDGATE, ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 14.
FOURTH DAY.
TUESDAY, •UOUST 21.
The Inquest beiagadjonrned took White Horse, Knights-
bridge' it was discovered that the house was nut commodious
enough, and a further adjostrunsent to the Rose and Clown
was announced before the appointed hour of meeting. The
Jury hastily adjourned to the Old King's Head, opposite the
Barrerk-gate, but did nut assemble till toasty minutes after
two o'clock.
The life guards were drawn up al the hoar of two o'clock,
and various witnesses presented themselves for admission,
but did not succeed.
The Coroner and Jury attended agreeably to the reels-
lotion of yesterday; bet it seems that as they were follow.
lug the Coroner up the steps leading to the parade from the
outer yard of the barracks, they were very rudely driven
down, and oar of them received a blow from a trooper.
After twin in the outer yard for a few minutes, they were
turned out without any ceremony into the road. They took
their places in the room of the public-house, and proceeded
to Wiliness.
The Coroner informed the Jury that be had received a tel-
ler from the Under Secretary in answer to hie application,
staling that hr (Mr. Hobhouse) hewing laid it before Lord
Bathurst, his Lordship saw no reams for altering the direc-
tions given as to the m in which the wit were to
make inspection of the Life Guards, and that as Ike inquiry
into the death of Honey by the Inquest had not closed, his
Lordship submitted if it world not be better to postpone
the examivation of the troops until the depositions of all
the witnesses who had evi:/enee to give, were taken.
The Foreman thought that the Jury ought to consult their
nit n convenience, and that of the witnesses examined, who bad
already lust mach time. If another inspection were neces-
sary in the further course of the evidence, he supposed that
there would be no objection to allowiag it.
A Juryman observed, thst the present question was, who.
they the Jury thought there writ already sufficient evidence
before them for the ends of justice.
Mr. Sfteriff Weidman rigid, that he was not anxious loran
one witness mare, except it were imperiously necessary. He
had a list of GO out of 100 whd had offered their evidence,
which list he meant to leave with the Jury in ease any eon-
tradietory testimony should be brought f..rward.
Mr. Hamm said, that he should object to calling any
witnesses after he had called his; otherwise they would go
on ad infiettuw. Whatever evidence Mr. Waithnian bad
to call, be hoped that he would call them now.
Mr. Sheriff Waiihman said, that the Gentleman seemed
511 be wholly in mistake. This was an inquiry, and not a
trial between the etniteeding parties. It rested entirely with
the Jury to determine what evidence they would receive and
what reject, without ref.rence to himself or to Mr. Henson.
A Juryman said, that as he understood it, Mr. Waithman
hail done unless they called other witnesses.
Mr. Henson said that be had. witnesses to produce in
contradiction.
Sheriff Waldman again objected to this inquiry being
treated as a trial. There were not two parties in issue, in-
quiry alone was the faultiness of the Jury, and they had no-
thing to du with any party, still less could they he bound to
take soy course prescribed by either himself ur Mr. HC11,404.

A Juror (Mr. Black, we believe),adres ling to their adven•
tors • in the barrack, wt.hed to know of the Coroner and
Jury what course they were to take as to the treatment
a Inch they had experienced. It was understood by the pub-
lic that they were going to apply for admission at the har-
m klard, and they would be expected to justify themselves
iu the eyes of the world.
Another Juror said, that the world had nothing to do with
it ; they had only to satisfy their own consciences. The
question was, hail they or had they nut evidence enough to
satisfy them of the fact ?

Mr. Waithman thought that the witnesses ought, for the
saving of their time, to be sent ever to Inspect the regiment
this while.
Mr. Mask twain usgui4herlary Is take mama stein as td
the treatment which llsey had rreeivEd. The public would
certainly be anxious to know bow they were treated at the
Barrack-yard. He proposed that they should draw up some
account of what had transpired, and accompany it wills a
strong expression of their train feelings as to the unworthy
manner in which they bad been treated.
Mr. Dean, one of the witnesses, now made a complaint
that be bad been over, and was denied admittance to the
Barrack.

Mr. Waithrasn remarked, tbst the course ofjestire seemed
to he perfectly ohoructed. A Juryman bad been almost
knocked down, and the wirrrra.es were refused admittance to
that inspection nlsich was essential to their testimony.
A montage now came front Mr. Birtur, who was in at;
lent:laser in the barrack, Inviting Mr. Stirling over fur the
purpose of ma►ing some communicant's,. The witnesses
were to accompany the Coroner.

. ,
Mr. Deno, the witness before mentioned, made some ob-
jection to Irving neer again unless necompanied by the Jury,
lest he should be subjected to illdrentnieut from the soldiery.
Mr. Watihman toolorneed another tromp 'totaling' ofjus-
tire, by the repulsion of a serous] willies., who had been
weer, refused admittance, and his card taker from him.
The Coroner, after some further d•seons de, weut out with
the witnesses, and was absent half an hoer.

Me. Dean returned and reported that he had been again
rudely repulsed, beet that the Coroner was admitted.
Tlw Jury said that they would wait the return of the Coro-
ner before they would hear any further.
The Coroner on his velum said, that hr had seen the Ma.
giatrate, 'bat it was determined that no witinmera should
be admitted to inspect the troops, but such as had been
swore, and examined. Those who should be sworn after that
time (in which he walspeakiu) would be admitted, prowl&
el they arrowed ut good time.
A Juror asked him how it was then that Mr. McDowell
and Mr. Dean, who had been sworn and examined, were
refused admittance. The Guards had their iustructiona
for admitting them yesterday. How canto it that admittanes
w■s refused

The Coroner reminded the Jury that it nes his own iden
that the wituesves who had not brew examined would not be
admitted. He proposed to send over those whose depositions
were taken.

Mr. dVailliman complained that obstroetionsameunting to
a dines viulatii it of justice were thrown in the way of it.
There was a •itilat* nut only of justice, antiof the right.
and respectability of Jurors, hut of the soles& engagement
of the Secretary of Slate, who bad promised that the mei.
ment should be drawn up for the inspection of the witnesses.
It was but mere mailer of risk. that they should be draws
up in the eyes of the world for any persons to come forward
who could connect any of them with the outrages of
Trembly last. He had seen a regiment scar,, out before
now fur a man to identify a soldier aho hail stolen a few
yards of a filthy &minis" from him. And now here were
the Magiatracy and soldiery putting limitations to the
investigation of • July in • case probably of wilful mur-
der ! What ! was there no confidence to be pnt is
the conduct of the Joey ? or if they were to be suspected,
sorely the parties might safely confide to the Coroner. They
(the Jury) ought to insist upon having the detachment on
duty at Cumiierliod-gate, not the whole regiment, instantly
drawn out. They could if they pleased have the muster-
roll produced, sod learn the names of all those engaged on
that particular duty. If these obstructions were nut re-
moved, and the attack on the persons of the Jury resented,
there could he no more liberty in England than in Turkey or
Algiers. In had been asked why the friends of the deceased
had uul employed advocates learned is the laws to assist
them. How were they to du it? 111 y were they to

quiry y to them tammensatiou fur the loss which
they had sustained. The ends of public jolliee were
the only object of the investigation. The Jury ought to
summon the Adjoilant before them, or if they failed
ur feared to do that, let them swear ten or twelve wit-
nesses more, who were prepared to identify the officer to

reasee left at the shop where he died.
The Foreman thought that, under all the circumstanced,
they ought to summon the Adjoin/it before them.
The Coroner proposed to du so to.morrow.
A Juror said, that it would be more convenient sow, as
the regimeat was in attendance.
• The Coroner said, that they nerd not consult the cower.
nienee of the Adjutant.
Another Juror proposed to have the wain/saes all called in
and examined directly to the facts euaneeted with the killing
of the deceased.
The examination of evidence then commenced.
James Dennyer sworn —I saw Honey shot ; I saw the
person fire; I think 1 should know him, but don't feel

should know him; if lie appears in the URIC dress as on that
day, probably I might know
The witness was furnished with a ticket, and went over
to inspect the troops.
Mean time Mr. Dean, the witness already mentioned, re-
turned, and iaformed the Jury that he bad, on presenting
himself again for admittance, agreeably In their direction,
been treated in a rapt insulting way. He had been ahewn
at length down sonic steps in the inner barrack•yard, iii.
wards a room where the other witnesiws were enclosed, mid
hunt which he heard thews loudly requiring to be let out, but
in vain. He said, moreover, that there were no soldiers or
the parade, and the witnesses were sot suffered to return
He had made some pretext, which eatables' him, he said, to
escape hack again.
Mr. Waithmau again appealed to tie Jury, if they wools,
be-content to put up this affront to their witnesses, and this
imperfect mode of obeying the Secretary of State's order.
A Juror said, the fact was, that a line had been laid down
by the troops, which was, not to let any of the witnesees
view the troops mud the Coroner should seed over word that
there were sou snore coming.
'`'The Foreman wanted to know who had anthorised the
troops to lay down any such line. He eertaiuly felt that
they were set at nought, and that obstacles were purposely
heaped in the way to p t them front performing their
duty. lie was fur summoning the Adjutant before them.
Mr. Waiihmari wished to know the name of the Adjutant.
from Mr. Henson ; but the latter Gentleman said that he
did rot knew it, being only retsiaesi for the regiment by
Colonel Caveudish and Captain Noakes.
Mr. Waithman (addressing the Coroner) said, that the
Secretary of State's order fur the witnesses to -iew the troops
one by one was disobeyed—the power of the Jury was set
at defiance—the witnesses were lurked up without money in
their pockets perhaps, or provisions to eat, for several hours
together—and he (the Catmint) appeared wholly unwilling
to do his duty.
The Coroner said that the Sheriff wsa behaving very te.
properly.
Mr. Waithoisisaisediod Nat -be had ow it.

After some dismission, in which there was some beat, an.
other witness, John Young, wits called; hat his evidence was
declined, as having nothing material in it.
Ur. Pinkerton returned, and said that he had been refused
admittance, unless the Coroner accompanied bins.
The Coroner conceived that there must be some mistake.

Mr. Sheriff Waiihenan said that certainly there was much
patience displayed under such cumpliciled sufferings. Ile
never saw a Magistrate discover so much Christian charity
as the Coroner towards those who set at naught his au-
thority.

Th; CAKOllfr thanked the Sheriff for his compliment, and
expressed his regret that be could nut return it.
After some time spent in rather an irregular discussion,
it was determined that the Coroner and Foreman should pro-
ceed together to the b k slid liberate Ilse witnesses,
and these gentlemen weal out accordingly to explain with
the parties who bad given those reputed intirruptiens to
the proceedings of the day.
On their return—

The Coroner said that the reginiesit seas now drawn out,
and the wituesses would he allowed to inspect then., together
with as malty muse as should be SWIMI to the course of au
hour.

The Foreman said, that be lead presented himself foe ad.
mittance with the Coroner, and gained the outer Court, bat
the gentleman in black (Colonel Cavendish, he believed), club
whom the Coroner communicated, declined letting him isto
the room.
The Coroner recommended that the Jury should make
good use of their time in swearing witnesses.
Mr. Waitlsmail raid, that this was all very pretty ; they
had been summoned for two, it was now past Ave o'clock.
The witnesses were to be admitted for this hour after having
lost the day, and it wow appeared that there was a Board of
Officers sitting in• the barrack to examine the witnesses sent
over by the Jury: mean time die gabbers were:nert drawn out
at all. This was a aubversio• of justice to which the Jury
ought not to submit. It appeared that Sir Robert Baker and
• Board of Officers had commenced an examination of
their witnesses, not fur purposes ut" justice but for their own
ends. He hoped that terry one of the witnesses detained
by the soldiery would pursue his action fur false im.
prisonmetit.
The Foreman complained of the witnesses being detained,
and of the Jury being compelled to suffer it wilhont reseal.

not at all agreeable. There was one man who had gone,

that his horse and chaise were ■t the door, but he could not
know that where be woo in confinement. He protested
against this treatment of the witnesses, and be protested
against their exantittatiu• after the Jury bad dos • with them.

John Saunders was called in and sworn --Lives at 235,

The witness theo received his ticket, after subscribing to
his deporition.
The Beadle of St. Msrgaret's attended with • menage

Me. Waithma•, commentimg on the multiplied instances

served, that, in the language of Ilobsdil, "be had never area
a cudgelling more liberally laid ote,or snore patiently borne."
He recommended the J nry to prepare a Protest, recapitulat-
ing all the grievances and uheterethuse sehlcb they had
encountered. There proceedings were of deep importance,
sad would form the subject of use ot the meet ausious Yet-

quest! Some offence had been taken at un allusion to the
U dlssin inquest. Nothing half so disgraceful as the seen/-
imam of this day had transpired at 01,1hams' .He levees'
mended that the Coroner should immediately cross over, and
presenting Mr. Hubhonse's letter, demand obedience to the
direction., contained in it.
The following paper was then put in on behalf of one of
the witnesses, said to be confined at the time in the barrack,
and read by the Foreman:—
" To the Chairman of the Jury.
" SlR—Anxious fur my friend, W. Deloutrme Jones, who
I am sorry is not well, and at present confined within the
baronet/a in one of your witnesses, I make this protest : I
conceive it highly injurioss to his present state of health, by
detaining him under the present circumstances without re-
freshment, &c.; not long some I was under the necessity of
opening his temporal artery.
(Signed) " WM. GEORGE HETENSON,
" Medical sad Chisrureical Slot/lent. No. 4,
Nassau-street, Sulso-sqoare."
A discussion arose upon the contents, so like in eons-
plesion to those already described that it is needless to go
Over it.

Mr. W. D. homes was then introdnemi into the room. and
request's, to he sillowed a few minutes to recover liaised, be-
fore he proceeded to give his evidence.
Mr. John Posh, one Or the witnesses examined on a
Awroer day, was called into the room i and was about to be
examined, when
Mr. Henson mse, and requested that before Mr. Pooh
was examined the othe► witosesses should be ordered to
withdraw.

The Coroner made an order accordingly, which he re.
prated several times, urging on the attention of the I/ir-
oner., the probability of their ireiug examined elsewhere
hereafter.

Owe of the Jury then suggeated that Mr. Jones should be
examined before Mr. Punk.

Mr. W D. hoes being sworn,saill, he had attended in con.
sequence of a summons for the purpose of identifying the
pencils oliom be hatlVetatedie his previous examination to
have tired the pistol by which It 'third Honey was killed.
After his admission into the barracks he reinaised a short
time in one of the cusercyardit; when aic.eAcer came oat

'Mere were several tither pillions there, among them
severel of Ilse hwy. Witness then came out and stood at the
door a few minutes. Sevrcel of the Jury advised bins to
stay, but the officer inbisteil upon his going. out.
After remaining outside of the wall some time, s non com-
missioned officer opened the dour and asked witness fur his
card of adiniarion. Witness gave it, and !Fe desired him to
stay for s short time and he should be admitted. He was
afterwards admitted and skews, iutu the barracks. He was
*hewn into ut's room, out going into which he saw
Mr. Binh- and twonther Magistrate,. Knowing Mr. Burnie,
witness asked him if be was wider his protection there?
• Before Mr. Biroie could answer, au ulfirer oho was present
very politely told witness that no protection was mercenary,
as every one who came there would be treated with civility.
Oue of the Jury snare observed, thus was now six o'clock,
which mss the hour stated, and perhaps if the time wire
passed over, admission would be irfused to any inure wit.

Mr. Jones then resnmed. There were aeveval other wit.
nesse,' in the room, and after wsitiug ahnut three quarters I
of au hour, he wished to speak to Mr. think. A soldier
took a message fur him to Mr. &retie to that effect. At
.imegpast four he saw Mr. Birnie and the Adjutant of the '
sogsment. He asked Mr. [tirade why is anal the oilier •it.
nooses were detained so long. Mr. Barnie said he was savvy
Swag deteation, and ha weekt emleassur to get them an
opportesity of examining the troops as soots as possible.
The room they were in was small and extremely close, and
Am/ were not allowed to go near She dour; the moldier at
the door p liag them, laud always shutting the door
when any officer passed by. They were not prisoners in his
opinion, although there was a sentinel at the door. The
soldiers were very polite to them.
The Coroner said, that was very proper—it was what was
intended. They were not to see the officers until the rrgi-
meat was drawn up; and then one at a time, as had been
staled yesterday.
. . . .

The witness resunsrd—The plate where they were was np.
posite to where the officers wrsa to take refreshment, soda
water, &r.

The Coroner said this line of evidence was rprite immate-
rial ; all that was in it wee, that the wiloesere were prevent.
ed from seeing the (Ayers while they were together, lest they
should compare noies torrether, and Rs upon any one by
agreement. All that had been very writ understood.
. .

The witness having been admonished to speak only to
what he saw, and not to what he thought, proceeded. Mr.
Birnie after consulting with the Adjuiaut, is itonsequence of

The Beadle here esitered the room and said it was pall six
o'clock, and be bad bees utter to the barracks but could pi
sto answer.

The witless proceeded. They were thew shelve into t►e
room aud given to *nitrates.' that they should be called out
one by one. There were two persons presses besides Mr.
Bettie, whom he understood to be Magistrates. At half-
past Ave witness was eoudacted by the Magistrate, the Com-
manding Officer, and some other military gentlesseu, to
where the military were drawn up, and they desired him to
walk along the ranks. Whilet walking op mid &on, he saw

ever, be was desirous of going back to la•k at him again,
and requested the commanding officer to allow him to go i
he refused, saying, his orders were imperative to *dealt of
only one inspection of the troops; the Magistrates protested
azainst this, sod said they must desire be should be •hewn
to that place again. Mr. Birnie he particular urged it, uyiug,
on the part of his Majesty's G 00000 menthe must insist un the

place again, the Commanding Officer then permitting it; be

that be was not the penult he took him to be yesterday when
he gave h r evidence; but his strung resemblance warranted
him in an)p.g to the Commanding Officer, that he bore the
strongest rep lubber.' to bins of any he had seen. Witness
observed to the Magist►ate, that he (void not swear that
was the gentleman; but from t►e strong resemblance be
thought it was. Some gentleman, nut one of the Ma-
gistrates, but a person whom witless supposed to be it
military officer in plain clothes, spoke to Isis* sad said,
be (witless) must of course be some of the great respon-
sibility be was incurring. Mr. Birnie checked ►im, sad
told him that notbiing ought to be said. Witmer asked his
name, but they said he must them ; but that he was
allowed to niake any.observatioa he pleased. The witness
here said he had nothing more to say, but that the Alegi-
unties and officers bowed and wished him a good morniug,
and he was shearsr the way out into the Perk.
When the deposition was read over, wituess observed, that
on his asking fur the same of the person to whom be point-
ed, the officers seemed to wish to give it, but the Magistrate
checked them, saying it was not eecesaary.
Mr. Jobs Pooh was then sworn, and said he had bees to
the barruks, and in going slug the line be say • penes
