Mr. Adolphus made ,!:" "):bservation upon this,

By Mr. AnoLenut:t,til saw most of the troops
go out on the• 14e,rthey appeared free from
hurt ; they mustered !veil ; they were clean and
1% ell accoutred, ant' their horses were in good
condition ; on their return ;36 of the men were
sent to the Hospital, eight of whom remained ;
their cloathing was covered with mud and dirt ;
_I mean that of the whole of them; I know the
Est of the hurt by the Official Report from the
. Surgeon ; the eight were absent at the next
parade; I saw one of the horses cut under the
throat, apparently with a cutting instrument ;
Lieut. Gore is, in my judgment, perfectly com-
petent for his situation.

A Juryman objected to the putting of any question to obtain
a mere-opinion. Mr. Adolphus contended that he had such a
right, and was proceeding to put another qut.-,ition to the same

effect, when

A Juryman said—Mr. Coroner, it appears to me that you
have given up your right to other people, and especially to this
Gentleman, (Mr. Adolphus.) I object to this, I protest against
it ; I will bow to your authority, but I will not to that of other
pe:sons.

Mr. Adolphus—Then I will submit the question to the Co-
roner.

. Mr. Wait object to the question, because it is put-
tieg Colonel Cavendish in a very invidious situation ; how dis-
agreeable.must it be to the Colonel if his opinion of Lieutenant
Gore ehould be unfavourable.
A Juryman also objected. The question he said for the
Jury to ascertain was, not whether Lieut. Gore was skilful in
his sword and giving, the word of command, but whe-
ther he was a person of age and, discretion sufficient`to be en-
trusted with a command, which necessarily required caution
and an obedience to Magisterial orders.
Mr. Adolphus observed, that as to the objection on the
ground of delicacy to the feelings of Col. Cavendish, he (Mr.
A.) would not press the question, if the Colonel wished it to be
withdrawn. The second objection, lie submitted, 'could not
• prevail, because all persons, of every age, were bound to know
the law. Non-age was no more an excuse for violating a law
than drunkenness was.
After-a few words from Mr. Waitliman,
. Mr. Adolphus said, the question was of such little import-
ance that he would not press it.
A Juryman then asked, whether the cut which had been
given to one of the soldier's horses might not have been given
by the sword of another soldier?
The Coroner thought this question very irrelevant. It might
as well be said, that one of the soldiers might have cut off one
. of the. men's heads.
Here Mr. Weidman and the Juryman spoke together ; the
former supported the question, and the latter persisted in desir-
ing that it might be answered.
Colonel Cavendish—" It is possible, certainly, but very im-
probable."
Juryman to Mr. Adolphus—I see you think it a silly ques-
tion, and you laugh at me for putting it.
Mr. Adolphus—" Not I, indeed, Sir. If you, were a Coun-
sel, I should laugh heartily ; but as you are a Juryman, I hope
I know better."
Examined by another Juror—The Officers were accoutred as
they ought to be on a field-day ;on field-days they sometimes
carry pistols and sometimes not ; the orders were that they
were to go out as in a field day ; they were not particularly
ordered to carry pistols ; they do not always carry ball car-
tridge on field- days ; the orders were what we call field day
orders.
By Mr. Adolphus—Lieutenant Gore was sent to take care
of the Gate, without any allusion to the civil power; I ordered
the soldiers to turn out, as is usual, when we are to assist the
civil power ; I was not present when the ball cartridge was
given out; I do not know whose diity it is to give out the ball
cartridge; I cannot tell the name of the corporal of -Lieutenant
Gore's tneop, or the names of the men ; I ordered so many men
to each troop ; I said particularly that the party under Captain
• Oakes went out to assist the civil power; the others went out
to take charge of the gates.
A. Juryman here observed, that it was scarcely possible but
that the oorse corporal must know the names of the men. The
- deceased had certainly 'lost his life by violence, and it was the
duty of the Jury to ascertain the person who committed the
violence. • He trusted Colonel Cavendish would inform them
the means by which they could get at the names.
Colonel Cavendish_" I might get you a list, but I could not
answer for its accuracy."
A Juryman—" Should you consider a corporal' fit to dis-
dis-
charge his duty who could not give you the names of the men
of his troop on a particular occasion ?"
Mr. Waithmana-". It seems I might have been shot yester-
day, and the soldier could not he identified who had done it."
A Juryman—" Yes, and in the same way we might have
been sabred when we went to inspect the regiment."
Juryman—" lam determined I will not sit down without
an answer to the question, unless the Coroner desires Inc.—
Colonel Cavendish tell' us who is the proper person to give in
the names
Colonel Cavendish-1
you a correct list "
Here an altercation took place, which it was impossible to
report, as several persons spoke at the same time. The dis-
pute was between Mr. Adolphus, on one hand, and Mr. Waith-
man, and some Jurymen, on the other. A. Juryman com-
plained, that every endeavour was used to throw obstacles in
the way.; but he and his brother Jurors were determined to sift
the matter to the bottom, though they should sit a twelvemonth.
Several Jurymen said_" Yes, we will, we will."
Another Juryman observed, that it was of no use for officers
to come there ridiculing the Jury, and throwing difficulties in
their way. • Ile could- forgive it in a private soldier ; but lie
thought it unpardonable in a superior officer.
• Examination resumed by a Juror.—Colonel Cavendish, " I
think the name of the person who rode the wounded horse, is
Ford ; he is a corporal.
The evidence of the gallant Colonel being concluded, a Juror
rose and said, " Colonel Cavendish; I cannot refrain from in-
forming you of the unmanly conduct shewn to us by the of-licers
and men under your' command, on the day of the inspection of
the regiment. We were assailed by the most brutal rudeness,
and you may depend upon it we shall hold that conduct in re-
membrance."
A Juror—Yes, I am glad we have this opportunity_ of in.
forming the Colonel of our opinion of his conduct; he it was,
I believe, who commanded the soldiers on the day the inspec-
tion took place.
Colonel Cavendish—l believe lam summoned here respect-
ing the death of Richard Honey.
Juryman—Yes, Sir, and the occasion I speak of reletes to
the death of Honey. Unless his death had taken place that!bc-
casion would not have been necessary.
Colonel Cavendish said he had to attend to business of the
first importance in Derbyshire. He should be able to return
on Saturday, and he wished to • know whether he should be
wan teed in the interim. •
The Jury said, they had no wish to give Colonel Cavendish
any unnecessary trouble, and that in any event they should not
want him until Saturday.
The gallant Colonel bowed and retired.
The Jury then retired for half an hour; at the expiration of
which they returned, and the proceedings of the Court were
resumed.
The next witness called was, Margaret Full, who deposed as
follows :—I am a servant living with Mrs. —; I saw the
soldiers coming up to the Park-gate. At that time a horse fell.
I saw the hearse come out of the Park-gate, and the people
turned the heads of the horses towards Oxford-street, and the
soldiers turned them back again. I saw the mob throw the
stones at the soldiers, and the soldiers cut at the mob 'with their
swords ; I was not nigh enough to see whether any body was
