POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A number of Greeks were
brought before the LORD MAYOR under the following peculiar
circumstances :—A Gentleman stated, that the men whom he
had brought before his Lordship, to obtain his advice or assist-
ance, were Greeks, who had come to this country in a Turkish
frigate (La Bella Dianna) which belonged to the Pacha of
Egypt. It had brought a cargo from Alexandria, and was, at
the time it sailed, manned by fifty Greeks and thirty Turks.
On his arrival in this country, the commander of the frigate
heard of the war which had broken out between the Turks and
the Greeks, and did not chuse to entrust his vessel out to sea
again with such a majority of the latter nation, who might rise
on his Turks, and take possession of the ship. He therefore
paid them the amount of their wages up to the time of their
arrival at London, and discharged them. The Greeks had been
put on shore in the neighbourhood of the Docks, and had been
strolling about without any chance of getting away. There was
no ship in the river which could take them, and their scanty
means were almost entirely expended. Nothing could be more
destitute than the prospect before them, unless they were rescued
from misery by powerful interference in their behalf.
The LORD MAYOR suggested, that the Turkish Ambassador
or Consul was the proper person to apply to on behalf of the
strangers.

The Gentleman replied, that the Turkish Ambassador being
a Greek, his power had been withdrawn by the Turkish Go-
vernment, and there was now no one with credentials from the
Porte in this country to whom they could apply, nor could it be
expected, under existing circumstances, that any thing could be
done for them by any one connected with the Turkish Govern-
ment. The vessel had been consigned by the Pasha to Messrs.
Briggs and Co. but they had declined taking any steps in their
behalf. There was no imputation whatever on the men; but
that the Turk who commanded the frigate did not think himself
safe with so large a majority of them, under the present circum-
stances. The Gentleman added, that having seen the men wan-
dering about, he accidentally became acquainted with their si-
tuation, and having no one to speak for them, he had thought
it his duty to bring their case before his Lordship.
The LORD Mayon regretted extremely that he had himself
no power to assist the applicants, and recommended that appli-
cation should be made to the Secretary of State, who alone could
afford such relief as the peculiar circumstances of the case re-
quired. The men, who were dressed in their national costume,
and whose fine appearance excited much interest, then left the
office.—They arc not natives of the lonian Islands.
Bow-STREET.—Yesterday a young man was brought to
this Office, in custody of Salmon, the principal officer, and
charged before RICHARD BIRNIE, Esq., the Sitting Magis-
trate, with embezzling the sum of £l4 14s. the property of Geo.
F. Urling, (Lace Manufactory, Strand), his master. He was
remanded.

MR. WEBSTEIt WEDDERBUBN.--A letter from
Boulougne-sur-Mer, dated August 29, says,—
" Mr. W EBSTER WEDDERBURN'S proces was tried
here this day, when, after a deliberate examina-
tion of all the witnesses, himself and the servant
(who has been long perfectly well), the Procu-
reur du Roi pronounced Mr. WEDDERBURN'S
conduct perfectly justifiable, and that he had
wounded the servant in his own defence, he hav-
ing, by his own deposition, made the assault upon
his master. The Tribunal adjudged therefore
16 francs amende, and the costs to be paid mu-
tually between the parties. Mr. W. was most
ably defended by Mr. BEDOUIN) advocate at
Boulogne."

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY.
TENTH DAY, SEPT. 3,
The room in which the Inquest has been hi-
therto held, at the New Inn Tavern, in the Edg-
ware-road, being found to be inconvenient, it was
determined to adjourn to the Hop-pole, in the
same street, where the Jury accordingly assem-
bled at two o'clock. At a quarter after two the
Coroner arrived, and the business of the inquiry
was resumed. The names of the Jurors having
been called over,
Mr. GALL rose to call the attention of the
Coro] r to a mis-representation which had ap-
peared in a public print, by which words were
attribu!eLl to him which he never uttered, during
a discussion whichlook place on a former occa-
sion, regarding the right of Mr. Adolphus to sit
at the table. The print to which he alluded was
The Courier, and it made him (Mr. Gall) mike
use of the following expression—" By G—d,
Mr. Coroner, another place must be found for
Mr. Adolphus, for he shall not sit here."—(Here
Mr. Gall produced the paper, and read the pas-
sage.)—He then appealed to Mr. Adolphus and
the Jury, whether any expression of the kind
had ever fallen from him. As to himself, he gave
it his most unqualified denial.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said he was one of the last
persons who would be likely to sanction any
thing like an abuse of the liberty of the press.
As to the right of gentlemen connected with the
public press to be present, they were not there
to determine. That custom had been recognized
by long practice, and was not now called in ques-
tion; but he must be allowed to say, that he
never saw more pains or candour evinced on any
occasion than on the present, by the gentlemen
of the press, whether of the ministerial or anti-
ministerial papers, to give a fair report to both
sides. He was not induced to'say this from any
personal consideration ; he was accustomed to
receive a large share of both compliments and in-
civilities from the press, and he trusted that he
took both with equal good humour. As to
whether Mr. Gall had made use of the words or
not, which the paper attributed to him, he could
not say. From the number of persons who were
present, and the variety of observations made,
it was impossible that he could say what words
exactly had fallen from any body's lips, but cer-
tainly something very like them had been used
by some person. It might be " please God, he
shall not be here," or words to that effeCt. Now
the subject had been started, he also might com-
plain of an act of misrepresentation in one of the
papers if he chose to do so. He had received
a very pressing letter from an Honourable
Gentleman who had been examined before the
Jury, pointing out a mis-statement. The letter
was from Col. Cavendish, and it alluded to
what was said to have occurred when Mr. Blai-
kie complained to Colonel Cavendish after his
examination, of the treatment which the Jury
had received at the barracks ; it was reported
on that occasion that Colonel Cavendish said—
" I am not prepared to answer any questions on
that subject ;" now this was not correct. It was
the opinion of Colonel Cavendish that the intro-
duction of such matter was quite irrelevant to
the purpose for which he was summoned there,
and accordingly, having signed his depositions,
he retired from the room without saying one
word. But, in reference to what Mr. Gall had
complained of, every body knew that in the con-
fusion and hurried manner in which business of
this kind was sometimes carried on, and perhaps
from occasional heat of temper, words might be
stated to have been spoken by a particular per-
son, which he had not used, and yet no blame
attached to the Gentlemen of the Press. The
very mention of the fact would, however, answer
the purpose intended by Mr. Gall, as on the
next day every paper in town would mention
the fact of the disavowal of the words, and thus
the end would be obtained.

Mr. GALL—That is all I want ; I did not
say it was a wilful misrepresentation, and I hope
the Gentlemen of the Press will correct the
statement in the Papers to-morrow.
Mr. BROWNE—I have no doubt that the Gen-
tlemen connected with the Press who come here,
give correct reports of all that passes ; but there
are such persons as Editors of Papers, through
whose hands these reports go, and perhaps make
alterations.

The Gentlemen of the Press unanimously dis-
claimed this; and Mr. BaowNE said he must
have been mistaken, and asked pardon.
The FOREMAN-It has been stated by Mr.
Adolphus that Colonel Cavendish made no an-
swer to the observations of Mr. Blakie, now, I
recollect he did, and his words were these ; he
said (appealing to you, Mr. Coroner), " I
thought I was summoned here to give evidence
on the death of Richard Honey," [yes, yes, from
several] ; and now, Mr. Coroner, I have to re-
quest, that before we proceed to business, you
will allow the Jury a quarter of an hour.

Mr. ADOLPHUS said, he wished to put a ques-
tion first, in hopes that somebody could resolve
it, namely, whether the witnesses Spratt, Green,
and King, who gave evidence o❑ the last day,
were in attendance ?

The FOREMAN observed, that he did not think
they were in attendance, but it would be only
right, before the witnesses were called, for Mr.
Adolphus to state why they were called.
Mr. ADOLPIIUS said he would state his reason.
It was impossible not to see that those witnesses
in their evidence, aimed at somebody, and yet
in fact they had pointed out nobody. One of
them said he had seen a person sittting in that
chair who had shot Honey ; another said he had

Mr. Hanson said, that Lieut. Gore did go
through the back door on that day, with infinite
danger, and that he accompanied him ; that se-
veral persons cried out, " There goes the but-
cher."

After a few words from Mr. Browne, the con-
versation terminated, and the Jury retired for a
quarter of an hour.

- On the return of the Jury,
John Sowerby was sworn.—l am a private in
the Life Guards, in troop C; I know nothing
about the death of It. Honey.
By Mr. Blaikie.—There are eight trumpeters
in our regiment—one trumpeter to each troop ;
we have a band ; I don't know how many it
consists of, whether 30, 40, or 50; not 100; I
think it nearer 30 than 100 ; can't say whether
it is nearer 50 than 30.—[Here Mr. Blaikie ob-
served, it was better to take down all the an-
swers, to shew what sort of witnesses were sent].
—All of them do not occasionally act as trum-
peters ; I believe some of them beside the eight
do. We have no hired men to my knowledge.
I was on duty at Cumberland-gate on the 14th ;
Lieutenant Gore commanded us; there were 12
of us ; not all privates—there were 10 privates
and two corporals; there was one trumpeter ; I
don't know his name; I saw him there; he was
a young man ; I can't say his age; I can't say
whether he was 20; I was wounded on that oc-
casion, it was so on my oath; I had the blade of
my shoulder bone broken with a stone or a brick-
bat, I don't know which ; I am on the Doc-
tor's list now ; I was taken to the Hospital on
the 15th ; I did not see Lieutenant Gore on that
day with pistols ; I did not hear him express his
surprise that he had not got pistols on that day ;
I did not hear him ask any person to lend him
one ; I did not see any body lend him one ; I
should know the trumpeter again if I saw him.
I don't know whether I have seen him since the
14th; I don't know whether he is a tall person;
he was mounted on horseback when I saw him ;
I can't say, whether he is a light or a dark man ;
I should not know his name if I were to hear it;
we have not a trumpeter of the name of Jones in
our regiment ; there is one of the musicians of
the name of Jones.

By Mr. ADOLPHUS-1 was at Cumberland-gate
when I received the wound with which I have
been laid up ever since ; I received my wound
just after the hearse came through ; there was a
volley of stories or brickbats thrown at us all ;
it was in that volley I was hit ; there had been
no firing that I knew at the time when I received
my wound ; I was struck senseless ; before that
there had been no firing; I saw many soldiers
struck beside myself.

By a Juror—l saw none of the people struck with brick bats
or stones.

By Mr. Adolphus—The reason I did not go into the hospital
the first night, was because I did not think the blow so violent
till the next morning, when I could not move my arm. It was
on the 15th I went to the hospital ; I sent for the doctor, wh
ordered me there.

By a Juror—We have no trumpeter of the name of Jone,
but a musician of that name. He occasionally blows the
trumpet ; I don't know whether he ever goes with the detach.

• By a Juror.—We were ordered to keep the streets quiet ; we
did so as well as we could. We ordered the people to get out
of the way and let the procession pass ; they did not get out of
the way ; I and our party forced them by riding up to them
and pushing them out of the way ' • they would not get off by
fair means; the people then called us every thing but gentle-
men ; the confusion was so great that I could not tell what
they called us ; I was stunned and obliged to leave, but I do
not know whether they went away or not; we were obligated
to ride over them and amongst them when they did not go. I
did not, to my knowledge, see any one of the mob knocked
down at the time we rode over them ; we were obliged to use
our swords ; I can't tell exaey how we used our swords ; we
cut about a good deal for the purpose of getting the people to
let the procession pass ; I did not see any person cut on that oc-
casion; I had enough to do to mind my own business; after
we had cut about, ate people got out of the way, or else the
hearse could not have passed ; the hearse did pass, and went
through (the Edgware-road) way.
Mr. Blaikie—You are quite satisfied the people got out of
the way ?—Witness. Why, Sir, I believe those who did not
get out of the way were run over.
Mr. Adolphus—Did you see any one run over ?—Witness.
No, Sir.
The Foreman objected to Mr. Adolphus's mode of exa-
mination.

Coroner—Witness does not know that any one was run over.
(To witness.) Did you see any one run over ?—Witness. I
cannot say that I did, Sir.

By Mr. Blaikie—l saw no firing before the hearse came
through the gate; when we first came from the Barracks we
were formed up in the street, close to the gate; it rained very
much, and we moved about a great deal until the procession
came up ; when the procession approached, a part of our party
went through, to prevent the people from shutting the gates ;
when the procession came near, a few of us (I was one) went
into the Park : I went again on the outside of the gate; I think
we were stationed at Cumberland-gate for about half an hour or
thereabouts, before the hearse came up; I know Lieut. Hall ;
during the half hour I have just mentioned, I cannot say to my
knowledge whether I saw Lieut. Hall or not ; he did not be-
long to our party, and I cannot take upon me to say whether
he was out or not.

Mr. Illaikie—Take time and recollect yourself.—Witness. I
cannot say that I saw him on that occasion.
Mr. Blaikie—llo you know whether he was on duty that
day ?—Witness. I can't tell, Sir ; I have seen him several
times, and should know him if I saw him on parade in regi-
mentals.

Mr. Blaikie—Are you sure you did not see him on the 14th ?
—Witness. I can't say that I saw him on that day.
Mr. Blaikie—Will you swear you did not see him on that
day ?—Witness. I don't wish to say any thing wrong, Sir.
Mr. Blaikie—l am sure you do not.
Coroner—Did you see him to your knowledge ?—Witness.
I did not, Sir.

Coroner—l know you all, Gentlemen, by your faces, but I
should be puzzled if asked if I knew you by your names.
Mr. Adolphus—So should I, lam sure.
A Juror—But you know all the Gentlemen of the Bar, whe.
the: in or out of their robes, Mr. Adolphus ?
Mr. Adolphus—lndeed, I do not ; quite the contrary. I
started very much indeed, quite impertinently, at a Gentleman
in the Inquest-room the other day, imagining him to be a Bar-
'rister, and I afterwards felt it necessary to apologise for it.
After a few observations from the Coroner, the examination
proceeded.
Mr. Blaikie—Did you see any other officer before Lieut.
Gore came up on that day ?—Witness. I saw one, but,l can't
say whether it was before the hearse came up or after.
By a Juror—l did not see a soldier's horse fall at Cumber.
land-gate that morning ; I saw two fall at Tyburn-gate ; I have
been better than four years in the regiment ; I can't say how
long Lieut. Hall has been in the regiment.
By a Juror (Mr. Browne)—l was not one of the party who
prevented the hearse from being turned down Oxford-street.
Here witness's evidence was read over to him. In addition
to which, he stated as follows :—After the of Gay was over, and
the hearse had passed, we went back and formed near Cumber-
land-gates; I do not know what further passed, as I was sent
ofl'by Lieut. Gore for orders.
By Mr. Blaikie—l was present on the 21st when the troops
were drawn up for inspection in the barracks.
Mr. Blaikie—Did you see Lieut. Gore there ?—Witness.
saw him when he came out.

Mr. Blaikie—Did you see him there ?—Witness. He does
not belong to my troop ; I did not see him to my knowledge,
but he might be there without my seeing him.
Coroner—Why it is proved over and over that he was there.
Mr. Blaikie—Did you see Lieutenant Hall there ?—Witness.
I don't know where you mean, Sir.
Mr. Blaikie—ln the barracks ?—Witness. I can't say to my
knowledge that I did, Sir.
Wium s having signed his depositions, withdrew.

Blaikie here addressed the Coroner. He commenced by
ob,erving, that when Mr. Hanson first made his appearance at
the Inquest, he was questioned as to the authority by which he
acted there, and he (Mr. Hanson) immediately informed the
Court that he appeared on behalf of Colonel Cavendish and Vie

other Officer; of the First Life Guards. Mr. Adolphus had
been interrognted in a similar manner, and therefore he (.11r.

Illaikie) should feel that he acted inconsistently; if he did not,
on the part of himself and his brother jurors., proceed in the
some manner towards the Gentleman who had but just before

avowed liimFelf as the professional agent of some persons con-
nected with this Inquest. Mr. Blaikie then turning to the
'Gentleman whom Ave have already- alluded to, said, " May I
ben. Sir, to know your name ?"
The Chr_tirman answered, ",My name is Crowther."
Mr. you have the goodness to inform us who
are vour clients on this occasion?
Mr. Crowther—l should have had no difficulty from the
first in giving yoa this information, were it not that I thought
it involved a matter of delicacy. It. has been said.that there are
two parties in this case ; now I belong to neither party. I cer-
tainly have clients here, but if I state that I attend here as an
Armeus Curies, I presurnz: it will be suffici;nt.
eoroner—We. have too many of that description of person,'

hcre.
Mr. Crtr-ith;!r—As Mr. /-I,l6lphus has thoTzht proper to
keep th,. Jury in. the dark with respect tc his chenti, I suppose
m-iv tin En too.
The Foreman —That is what I ha,.

3 been cemplaining of al.

along. I have said that we are groping in the dark. -
Mr. Biaikie —Then I must appeal to you, Mr. Coroner. I
have put a question, and you sea how 1 am answered; but how-
ever this gentleman may blink the qetesion, I have no hesita-
tion in saying, that their attendance.is contrary to theprinciples
tins Court, which is a Court of Inquiry. -We have already
protested a:;ainst the presence. of Mr. Adolphus as an advocate,
and we now protte,t evainst the interfrence of this new gentle-
man ; I am sorry to th;tain you, Sir, but I now call upon you to
state upon wh It re-ound itis that von allow these gentlemen to
screen the guilty (if thelei he any guilty) from our inquiry ?
Coroner—Mr. Adolphus tines not obstruct the inquiry ; when
he puts a question, it is for the purpose of explanation. It is
for duty here to listen to all parties for the purpose of getting at
''he truth, and Id.° not know how we can 'do better than avail
ourselves of the abilities of a gentleman of Mr. AdolphusS skill
in his profession.
Mr. Browne (a Juror)—This much will I say, that our pro-
ceedings should be impartial and not prejudiced ; but I mean to
;:?_y that Mr. Adolphus cannot be impartial when he has said
that he saw none but the enemies of Lieutenant Gore at the
Jury table. 1 may perhaps excite the risible faculties of some
gentlemen, bUt Lmust state this.
_ • _ . .

CoronerLl heard something of this before, but I thought it
applied to some witnesses.

am sure Mr. Adolphus could not so far for-
get himself as to say this.

Several Jurymen together—l heard Mr. Adolphus say so. -
Mr. Browne-•-I shall stand up for our character as a British
Jury, it matters rot my height, colour, or calling, and I do say,
that I shall not suflbr our rights to be frittered away. [Tins
observation called forth some applause.l
The. Foreman—l have frequently called upon Mr. Adolphus
to sate his authority for being present, but he is content with
stating that the Coroner has ruled it so; I am not satisfied with
this answer, And I now call upon Mr. Adolphus to spew us his
zoithoritv for being present.
Mr. Crowther said, that if Mr. Adolphus would give up his
clients, he (Mr. Crowther) would give up his.
Mr. Adolphus said, that the last-. observation wlijch had been
trade was the consummation of impertinence ; there was a per-
son whom he did not - know stating that he would do some-
thing on his (Mr. A.'s) doing a.certain thing. He (Mr. Adol-
phus) had, from the first, stated, that lie appeared there as
Counsel for Mr. Hanson's clients. The Jury had all along
r.ted and treated with that Gentleman as the Solicitor of Col.
Cavendish and others. He (Mr. A.) -could give the names of
his clients, but he did not feel it necessary to do so in answer to
a person who gave no name, and who skewed nought.. I a wai
sorry that Mr. Blaikie had put his question too soon. -
Mr. Spicer_was about to-address the Court, when

Mr. Adolphus begged it to be understood. that he appeared
there as the Counsel for a party ; but they were mistaken in-
deed—they injured the profession to which-he belonged, if they
supposed that he wished to embarrass their proceedings. As to
any observations which he might have used on a former occa-
sion, he had only to say that he did not hold himself responsible
for any thing which passed before the Court was opened.
Mr. Browne (a Juror)—The observations to which I have
alluded were used in full Court.

Coroner—This inquest is likely to last long en0u.7,11 of itself ;
but if we permit interludes of this kind, we shall never have
done.

Mr. Spicer—Suppose we admit Mr. Adolphus as Counsel
fer— •

A Juror—Whom ?
Mr. Spicer—The party accused.
Mr. Browne—l call upon Mr. Spicer to inform us who is the
party accused ? _ _

Coroner—So me of the Life Guards are certainly accused. -
Mr. Spicer —You have admitted-Mi. Waithman for the pro-

sect] Lion.

I►lr. Browne—There is no prosecution. The King has lost a
subject, and we are bound to inquire, even in justice to the
yourg Noble Men concerned, how that loss took place.
Mr: Spicer—l say the same thing:
Mr. Browne—Then you blow • hot and cold with the same
breath.

FOreinan—We had better appeal to the Coroner.
Coroner—l think this Inquest would have gone better on if
it was left to myself and the Jury—(Clapping of hands)—lt
would be much better if a stop were put to such disgusting
scenes as this.

After a few further observations from Mr. Adolphus and
some of the Jurors, - - - - -

Mr. Blaikie said he had no objection to Mr. Adolphus, or
even to Mr. Crowther's remaining ; but he hoped that some
guarantee would be given against further intrusions. •
Mr. Crowther said, he was not to be put down by Mr. Adol—
phus, or any other man in England.
After a few observations from. Mr. Adolphus, the Coroner,
and some Jurors,
Mr. Crowther said, he appeared there on the part of the re-
lations of the deceased.

Mr. Adolphus—Mr. Waithman appeared for them.
Mr. Crowther—Mr. Waithman is neither Banister nor So-
licitor.

Mr. Adolphus—Do you mean to say that you appear for the
relatives of the deceased ?.

Mr: Crowther—l shall answer no questions put by Mr.
Adolphus.
Mr. Blaikie said that this shelved the absurdity of allowing
persons to interfere. .
Mr. Adolphus—This Gentleman is on the same footing with
Mr. Waithman. _ _

_ ......
Mr. Browne said it was much to Mr. Waithman's honour to
have taken the part he did ; no man deserves to live who could
refuse to advocate the cause of a fellow creature so ci:cum-

Etanced.

A Juror observed, that the Coroner allowed whatever Mr.
Adolphus put, and - suppressed what he opposed.
. Mr. Spicer objected to this as an unjustlfiable attack upon the
Coroner.

The examination then pro:ceded. -
Mellish Hoskins, of 46, Green-street, Grosvenor-square, ex-
amined am a merchant by profession ; 1 know nothing of
the death Of 'Honey.
A Juror (Mr. Browne)—l was not at Cumberland-gate until
half-past one ; I suppose the procession was gone through be-
fore I came, as I saw nothing of it ; I wore no great coat on
that day..

Juror—Then, Sir, I am sorry you had the trouble of coming
here.

Mr. Browne—l understand that the ten men are in attend-
ance ; perhaps it will. save time if we call the trumpeter first.—.
The trumpeter was then ordered to attend.
The trumpeter was then called in and examined ; he is a
smart /odking young man, apparently under 20.
Robert Jones—l am extra musician in the First Life Guards.
I know nothing about the death of Richard Honey.
A nete was here handed to the Coroner on the subject of ano-
ther inquest, a.nd it was understood . that the Jury were to ad-
journ over to-morrow.
Examination resumed—Mr. Blaikic—Have you undergone
any examination previous to your -coming here to-day ? •
Witness—No, Sir, nor on any former day ; I was on duty on
the 14th.; we were ordered to Kensington first.
Mr. Blaikie—Who were ordered there ?
Witness—The party to which I belong; it is commanded by
Capt. Oakes; we went to Kensington ; it was about 11 o'clock
in the forenoon when we got there; we remained there, I sup-
pose, about ten minutes, and we then moved as far as Park-
lane with the procession ; we stood at the corner of Park-lane
about ten minutes; I was on duty at Cumberland-gate on
that day ; I don't belong to Lieutenant Gore'sdetachment ; we
have a Trumpet Major, his name is Walker; I can't say who
was the Trumpeter belonging to Lieutenant Gores detachment ;
I saw Lieut. Gore, but did not see his party; when I arrived
at Cumberland-gate I saw Lieut. Gore ; I had no conversation
with him ; he did not ask me to lend him a pistol ' • nobody else
asked me ; I did not lend any one a pistol without being asked ;
no one took a pistol from my holster without being asked ; I
had one pistol when I started from the barracks. It is not usual
to carry one, but if a soldier has got one which he can depend
upon he may carry it; I am quite sure as I had a pistol which
I could depend upon I carried but one ; I am quite sure when
I returned to the barracks I had that pistol with me.
By Mr. Browne—There was no other trumpeter beside one.
attached to Capt. Oakes's party ; I saw no detachment at Cum-
berland-gate ; there are eight trumpeters to a regiment ; I
know the names ; they are Major Walker, next trumpeter
Freck, Trumpeter Ghrist, Trumpeter Rathborne, Trumpeter
Farman,' Trumpeter Edwards, Trumpeter Wylde, Trumpeter
Solomon. We had ammunition served out before we left the

barracks ; it is not any man's duty in particular to serve out the
ammunition; I always carry pistols on duty of that sort; I shall
have been 11 years in the service next December ; I was. not
born in the-regiment ; my pistol was not fired that day, the 14th
August; I did not Come at the head of the detachment; I tbl-
lowed the corporal and two privates in the advance; Capt.
Oakes followed me ; I did not.see Captain Oakes till we had
formed up against the gates ; I don't know that. he and I
went through the gates the same. time ; Captain Oakes might
be six yards- in my rear ; I did not cast back my eyes on com-
ing to the Edgware-road, to Captain Oakes for orders ; I fol-
lowed the hearse ; I came .through Cumberland-gate with the
horses of the hearse ;' 1 saw a soldier's horse fall at Tyburn-
Turnpike; I did not see one fall at Cumberland-gate; I cannot
say whether I was through before eg firing commenced ;_ I
heard firing; I saw and felt the brick bats thrown before the
firing.
By Mr. Adolphus—The throwing of stones began when • we
got into Kensington, and continued at intervals till we came to
Cumberland-gate, and then grew more stronger; it manifestly
endangered the lives and limbs of the soldiers, and injured a
great many.
By a Juror—When we came up from Knightsbridge the
Hyde Park gates were shut ; I don't know who opened the
Park gates.
The Witness then signed his deposition.
The Jury then obtained leave to retire for a short time ; but
before they left.the room,

Mr. Adolphus stated, that the trumpeter who attended Lieut.
Gore on the 14th, was in attendance.
In about twenty minutes the Jury returned, and
William Bishop was sworn—l am a trumpeter in the first
regiment of Life Guards troop, troop D. ; 1 was out on the
14th ; I know the nature of an oath ; I was stationed at Cum-
berland-gate • I know nothing of the death of Richard Honey;
I can't exactly tell at what time I left the Barracks that day ;
it was in the morning about .11 o'clock ; I came out of the Bar-
racks with the detachment; it was.commanded by Lieut. Gore;
I was stationed; after I left the Barnicks at Cumberland-gate n
I was equipped that day according to field-day orders ; I had
pistols but not ammunition ; I had one pistol ; lam sure I had.
but one when I set out ; I made no use of it; nobody asked me
to lend it him: I did not lend it to any one ; it was never out of
my possession on that day; I was stationed. outside the Park at
Cumberland-gate before the procession cameup ; I had no con-
versation with Lieutenant Gore that morning. It was not my
duty to ride near nil, I rode behind him about three yards; I
did not hear.him say any thing . about his cloak or his pistols;
I did not see Lieutenant Gore with a pistol at all that morning ;
I know Lieutenant Hall; I saw him on the morning of the
14th; I saw him riding through the Park till he came through
Cumberland-gate with the corpse; I did not see him any time
in Oxford-street that morning before the hearse came up e the
first time I saw him was when the hearse came through ;
there was much disturbance then, the 'people were throwing
stones; there was no firing in consequence of the mob throwing;
at Tyburn-ehate towards Edgware-road, I heard reports of
pistols, but there was no firing at Cumberland-gate; I saw
Lieutenant Hall as he came through Cumberland-gate, not dis-
tinctly, but was sure it was he. 'The hearse had been gone
through Cumberland-gate about five or ten minutes before I
heard the firing; the people, besides throwing stones, called out
" Butchers,"-and "Blood-suckers," and other ill names ;I do
not know why they called out in that manner. I saw an affray
between the mob and the soldiers in keeping open the gates; the
soldiers were obliged to use violence to keep them open ; they
forced the gates open ; they were obliged to hit the mob to keep
them back with the flats and backs of their swords; this was
the time when the people called out " Butchers." We cleared
the mob away, not by firing ; we cleared them away by the
flats and backs of the swords ; • I am sure, when I went home, I
had my pistol with me Tam one of the trumpeters belonging
to the Lifh Guards ; there are eight full trumpeters, and six
supernumerary ; I am sure my pistol was not fired off-
in the whole course of the day: I was at Cumberland
Gate before the hearse came, through about a quarter
of an hour ; the reason I came out without ammunition
was, the corporal missed giving it to me ; I was at Cumber-
land Gate about -ten minutes before Lieutenant Gore gave
us the refreshment; the guards cleared the way, about two or
three minutes after the refreshment ; I. saw no persons rode
down ; there were stones flying from towards Tyburn Gate ;
I left the Barrack about eleven o'clock ; all Lieut. Gore's party
came out together ; we did not leave any at the Park Gate as
we came by; we did not halt coming from the Barracks to the
Park Gate ; nor by the trees near the water works ; we came
through the gate without any interruption into Oxford-street ;
we formed to the left of the gate as we came in ; when we were
so formed, things were quiet ; we formed in proper order e
we were not molested at that time; it was then we received
our refreshment ; the mob did not begin to increase then ;
after •we had taken refreshment, our first orders were to
keep the gate clear ; the mob afterwards came up . and
closed the gates; there was a quantity of stones. thrown
from Park-lane when the- gates were shut; we were or-
dered then to clear the way by Lieutenant Gore; then the
hearse came through ; I can't say how far I was then from
Lieut. Gore ; I was on the left side of the gate when the hearse
came through, between Cumberland-gate and Tyburn turnpike.
I can't say where Lieut. Gore was:at that time; some of the
detachment was-in the inside of the Park after the 'hearse passed
through,' to protect the coaches : I went to my Commanding
Officer in the course of business ; .after the procession u-as
through; the soldiers all mixed together; I did not see the fir-
ing commence; I was at Cumberland-gate when the firing
commenced; I don't know how near I was to Lieut. Gore at
that time n I did not sec him ; I , did not see a man shot n I.
don't know which detachment commenced firing ; I have no
knowledge of any of the men who did fire; it was at Tyburn-
date I first heard the report of pistols ; I was then in as much
anger of being shot as any body • when I heard the firing I
moved nearer to Tyburn-gate; did not see any officer at all
fire that day • I did not see any other trumpeter there.
By Mr. Adolphus—The soldiers struck with the flats and
Lacks of their swords; if they had not done so, I don't know
whether there must have been a prodigious slaughter or not,—
( Laughter).
Coroner—The man has made no calculation ; his answer
need not be taken down.

Mr. Blaikie—Mr. Coroner, has Mr. Adolphus put an im-
proper question or not ? If he has not, the answer should not be
expunged.
It was agreed that the answer should remain.
Witness--After the procession had passed, and tranqUillity
was restored, my detachment Was formed at Cumberland-gate ;
at that time I was placed on the left of the detachment, and
Lieutenant Gore was at the right ; the horses heads were at this
time towards Cumberland-street ; I don't recollect that Lieut.
Gore spoke to me at this time, nor do I know that he spoke to
a private or a corporal; I did not see him in conversation with
a Gentleman in private clothes, nor speak to Lieutenant Hall.
By a Juror—l never saw him take his pistol out of the hols-
ter during the whole time; I saw no Other trumpeter there, nor
did I dismount during the whole of the day.
By Mr. Blaikie—l went out with the detachment, and 1
came in with it, and saw no other trumpeter.
By the Coroner—l saw no supernumerary there.
Mr. Hayward then came forward and said, that having un-
derstood that a Gentleman attended there that morning, who
had stated that he attended for the next of kin to the deceased,
he thought it his duty to see the Gentleman who had so de-
scribed himself. He was aware, in the first instance, that the
person could., not have been so employed, as he was himself
about to undertake the task, but had been prevented by thede-
daration of Mr. Waithman, that " it was perhaps as well to
leave it altogether to such a Jury." The Gentleman had then
said,- that he had the authority of Mr: Waithman, but that
could not have been the case, as it was,iu the course of that very
morning, the conversation with Mr. Waithman to which he had
alluded, had taken place.
The Stranger denied that he bad said he appeared for the
family of the deceased ; but he fat that he had a right to come
forward on behalf of any party. - -
Mr. Hayward said he had no other object in attending there
than to disclaim, that the Gentleman Who had just spoken was
authorized to attend with the knowledge of Mr. Waithman, or
on the part of the next of kin.
The next witness was Daniel French, who de posed as fol-
lows :—I was there during the while funeral, but did not see
the man fall ; I saw the officer that fired the pistol, but did not
see him fire the pistol.
Coroner—Then how do you know who fired it ?
Witness—l hear that one of the officers fired a pistol and I
saw them all. Therefore I must have seen the officer who fired
the pistol.
By Mr. Blaikie—lt appeared to me that the officers and sol-
diers came up together.
By the Foreman—l do not know Lieutenant Gore.
Coroner—l am'sorry, Sir, that you were put to the trouble of
attending here.
The witness then retired.

Mr. Blaikie proposed, that, if Mr. Adolphus did not intend
to call any more witnesses, the Jury should adjourn ; as he did
not think th t, by proceeding with the examination of the sol-
diers, they could arrive at any additional information.
Mr..Spicer expreSsed himself most willing that the Jury
should adjourn, as it was not likely that Mr. Adolphus could
finish his evidence in the course of the evening.
Mr. Adolphus said, that he certainly could not. He hat
stated on a former occasion, that if the evidence on the part of
the Crown concluded at en early hour in the course of that day,
he should be able to go through the whole of his witnesses before
the adjournment ; but, as the examination had been so long
protracted, he could not do so. However, if, on 'Wednesday
next, much time was not occupied before he called the very few
witnesses he had to produce, he saw nothing to prevent the clos-
ing of the Inquest on that day.
_ _ _

Mr. BraairE thought it ivould not be right to exclude th,

examination of any witness whose testimony might be-consider-
ed of importance, even after the examination of the witnesses to
be called by Mr:Adolphus. He was the more anxious to press
this opinion, in consequence of a communication which he had
received relative to the testimony of one of the witnesses, who
stated himself to be the trumpeter employed on that occasion.
The Coroner here stated, that he had received a letter, which
attempted to make it appear that the testimony of the but!er
and two ladies' maids in Lord Huntingdon's establishment was
absolutely necessary—(A laugh).—The letter was laid aside as
unworthy of attention.
After some discussion, it was determined, that Mr.AdOlphus
should commence and conclude the examination of his witnesses
on 'Wednesday next, provided the examination of the other wit-
nesses concluded at an early hour on that day.
It was further understood, that if any evidence could be pro-
duced to invalidate the testimony of any previous witness, the
Jury should still have the power of calling such further wit-
nesses as to them seemed necessary.
Adjourned at nine o'clock, to Wednesday, at two o'clock.
