ceiVing the summons, Mr. Coroner, what steps must he taken
to enforce their attendance ?

The Coroner-1f they refuse to obey the summons, I shall
then grant a warrant for bringing them up.
Mr. Makie—l wish to ask Mr. Adolphus one question, whe-
ther he would tell the Jury if any or what conversation passed
between them and Mr. Hanson, relative to the appearance of
the Trumpeter ?
Mr. Adolphus—Certainly not. I consider any conversation
which pusses betwixt Mr. Hanson and myself upon such sub-
jects to be a sacred deposit for the benefit of a third party, and
being such; it cannot be divutred. If the Jury were to ask
Min, whether Mr. Hanson asked hini what was o'clOck upon
such an occasion, he would not tell them.
Itwas then agreed that summonses sllonld be issued for the
attendance" of the Captain and the four. Lieutenants, who were
on_dutyupon the 14th.

Mr.'Bla.kie—lf they are summoned, I dar;.s. say they will be
advised not to attend.

Juryman—Then, you know, the warrants follow.
It was proposed that the summonses should be served for
Wednesday, to give time
.to the officers to succeed in finding
the parties.
The Coroner—Then we must adjourn to IVednesday, as it is
of no use to meet to-morrow without witnesses.

Mr. Adolphus said he had no claim to indulgence, but if they
adjourned over a day further it would be a source of much con-
venience to him.

111 r. Blakie—l do not see why we should attend to conveni-
ences.

A Juryman—l cannot attend on Thursday.
The Foreman—l have an engagement in the country on
Thursday, which I must positively attend to.
Mr. AdolphuS—Then the question appears to be whether
you adjourn to Wednesday and then over to Friday, or now to
'Friday at once.

Vie Inquest was fulally adjourned to Wed-
nesday at two o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

RIOTING AT KNIGHTSBRIDGE ON SUNDAY
EVENING.
31Aninonouoti-STnEET.—Four persons were charged
with riot and tumult yesterday, before J. E. CONANT, Esq.
The first, George Thresher, a respectable looking man, shop-
man to a linen-draper, was charged by Plank, the officer, with
being amongst the populace opposite the Barracks at the time
showers of stones wcra. thrown into the Barracks, and refusing
to move on after having been told the Riot Act had been
r_•ad. He placed himself on the steps of a door, and said he
lived there ; on Plank knocking at the door a man looked out
at the window, and said defendant did not live there. After
struggling with the Peace Officers, defendant was lodged in the
Barracks.
The Magistrate informed the defendant that remaining with
a body after the Riot Act was read was a misdetneanour, but if
a person remained an hour after it would constitute a capital
felony, afid he must be aware he was acting wrong by telling a
lie to excuse himself. . .

The defence was, that the defendant could not move away at
the risk of his life as the people were. throwing rtones and mis-
sile weapons into &barracks. He took no part with them, and
he thought the soldiers were used most shamefully.
MAGISTRATE—Yes, so do I, who was in the barracks, and
I never witnessed so much forbearance in the military, when
Colonel Lygon, the Commander, was struck with a pave-stone
upon the head, as was also another officer and several men, who
bled much. Even after the gates were opened, and they had
an opportunity of revenge, their forbearance was a mark of cou-
rage and temperance.
Plank had no wish to persevere, and on the defendant ex-
pressing contrition, and confessing that the officer had behaved,
in the mildest manner, he was discharged.
Figg, a journeyman fsilor, was charged by two con-
stables with exciting the populace to riot by calling out, G 6 Come
out, you blood selling soldiers, and we'll serve you out." This
was echoed by others ; it was about eight o'clock when the
Riot Act had been read.
The defendant said he was on his way from Portsmouth to
London, to seek Work, and he was rather muddely from Chink.
He had no friend in London ; he had worked for Mr. Morris,
in St. Paul's Church-yard.
Magistrate—lf you speak truth, it is something in your fa-
vour, as there was no premeditation in your- being amongst the
rioters, therefore you must remain in custody until some inqui-
ries be made.--The defendant was remanded.

William Griffiths was charged by Plane and another consta-
ble with riotous conduct. After the Riot Act had been read,
the Officers went out to disperse the mob. WitneSs told
the defendant that the Riot Act had been read, and if he and
others did not immediately disperse, the Life GUards would
be out. Witness brandished his staff, and it might have
struck the defendant, who said he would not stir. Defendant
was in front of the populace, and he called out, " Stand, ye
cowards, stand." _ _ _

On a question from the Magislrate, whether these words were
applied to the constables or the populace, it was stated that they
were addressed to the latter, most of whom had moved.
In defence, it was stated that the words were addressed to the
defendants, meaning that tie constables would not hurt them.
Defendant stated himself to be a paper-hanger, and that he
worked for Mr. Shaddock. He was held to bail.

There were nine in all charged, and live discharged from the
barracks on Sunday night.
John Fly was ordered to find bail for assaulting a Life
Guardsman. Ile was taken from amongst the populace by one
of the Dragoons..
A FrnAY iN OxFonn-sTrtr.ET.---It was about seven
o'clock in the evening when symptoms of disturbance were ma-
nifested at Knightsbridge - .the first communication was made'
to G. Tarrant, Esq. a 111agistrate in the vicinity of Golden-
square, who promptly apprized Mr. Conant, of Marlbo-
rough-street Office, and that gentleman was in a quarter of,
an hour at hie post at the barracks, which were then besieged
from without ; the soldiers. were drawn up within, in case .of
the Civil Power not being able to restore quiet. . The officers'
and constables froth Marlborough-street Office followed, ac-
companied by a private of- the Life Guards. In Oxford-street
the populace thinking that the constables were beating the dra-
goons, joined the officers, and began to use much violence,when.
the officers and constables drew their staves of authority, and a.
general fight ensued, to the signal defeat of the mob.
