HA/MARKET THEATR E.—Last night, Venice Pre-
served was performed for the introduction of a debu-
tante, in Belvidere. The character is a dangerous
trial for unpractised powers. It requires great 1010 W.
ledge of stage effect, great sensibility, and even great
physical force : no character makes severer demands
ou voice and gesture. To adopt Belvidere as a first
effort is a proof of courage, but prudence is, in gene-
ral, the more salutary virtue. The debutante of last
tight would more advantageously consult her powers
by selecting some of the gentler heroines; though,,
her performance of Belvidere, as a whole, was a true
and affecting picture. This Lady, who we under-
stand to be a Mrs. BRUDENELL, is of middle stature,
and possesses an interesting and expressive counte—
maree. Affier and Pierre were well

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON R. HONEY.

ELEVENTH DAY, SEPTEMBER S.

The proceedings were resumed this day at twenty
minutes past two o'clock. The names of the Jury
having been called over,
Mr. A of .LPllus asked whether there were aay other
witnesses to be examined for the Crown ?
CottoNita.-1 do not know. I have received an
anonymous letter just now, in which I am advised
to summon Theophilus Desbrisay, Esq. 21, Adam-
street, West.

A Juror observed, that it was likely the Gentle-
man named knew no more about the matter than
some of the other persons whom they had had before
them lately.
Another Juror (Mr. Brown) said, that if Mr. Adol-
phus's witnesses were not ready, it might be as well
to send for the Gentleman.

Mr. ADOLPIIUS said he could have no objection to
his being sent for. It would of course be for the
Jury to pay what attention they thought proper to
the anonymous information they had received.
The Foreman said that no reliance could be placed
upon such information. He had received several
such letters, and they all ended in nothing.
After a short delay, a witness named John Curtis
was called.—" I live in the Almonry, Westminster.
lamof no profession. lam a Gentleman."
After a few questions and answers, of no import.
ante, this witness was ordered to withdraw, and his
evidence was struck out.
Mr. ADOLPHUS now wished to be informed whe-
ther them was any other witness for the Crown in
attendance?

Mr. Btakie.—ln answer to the question of Mr.
Adolphus, I beg, Mr. Coroner, to say, that I have
received several ler ets. not anonymous, conveying
to me the names of -e•e, 11 oersons who are enabled
to give very imp ,rtaht •'itiirmation on the subject be-
fore us. Of course we .io not know whether this may
or may not be the case ; and I cannot, therefore, now
say whether •,,.e ,hall call any more witnesses.

CORONER--1 think 't better that we should have
the witnesses nos‘, hettire the witnesses on the other
side shonid he ck,unined.

Mr..lnor.ritus.--At least it is better that we should
now have a list of those whom it may be thought
neces.ary to call in afterwards, and not to have, when
• e have done, on out side, some person starting up—
I !flair know who, and from behind I don't know
where—and calling for more witnesses.
Mr. Blakie.—As soon as I could, I placed the
names of ,the pasties to whom I have alluded in the
ha ds of she Constable, and no sufficient time has
Nero voice ifforded lor their attendance.
ContiNeft.—l think we should have the witnesses
now, or we should adjourn until sufficient time is
afforded for their attendance. For my own part, I
do not grudge my time, but I think there should be
a time in which all those who have any evidence to
give should attend and give it, and beyond that
time no attention should be paid to letters, anony-
mous or otherwise.

Mr. Blakie said, he paid no attention to any anony-
mous information, as it came from that despicable
class of people who imagined that witnesses would
have as little regard for their oaths as it seemed they
themselves would have. As to the time, he would
say there was one Gentleman whom he expected to
have had on a former occasion, and whom he still
hoi.ed to be able to examine, who, if he (Mr. Blakie)
understood him rightly, could point out the trum-
peter who was out a ith the detachment at Cumber-
land-gate, and as far as he understood what he could
• prove, it would go to shew that the trumpeter who
I was examined here was not the person who was out
on the 14th.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that if the Jury wished they
could have not only the eight trumpeters of the Regi-
ment, but Cut supernumerary trumpeters, and every
man who ever blew a trumpet in the carps before
them. There was no wish to conceal any information
whatever upol this occasion.
Mr. HaNsov.—lf the Gentlemen of the Jury wish
• the whole of the trumpeters belonging to the Regi-
ment, they can be sent for, and shall be in attendance
in a short time.

A Juror.—Then I think it better they should be
sent for.

Mr. Anot.Puus.—Where is the person who is to
inspect them ?
Mr. Blakie said, that the person to whom he had
alluded would be in attendance at four o'clock.
Mr. ADOLPH us.—What is his name?

Mr. Blakie.—l have got his name in my hand, but
I do not choose to let it be known at present, except
to my brother Jurors.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Let it be remembered that the
Juror refuses to give the name of the witness.
Mr. Blakie.—That is not the fact, Sir ; / have not
refused.

The Foreman.—l am surprised that Mr. Adolphus
can state such untruths.

The CORONER.—IIo, Gentlemen, let us go on with
some witnesses.

Mr. Blakie.—Mr. Adolphus cannot shine but in
the abusive.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—When the time comes for me to
speak on this subject, I shall know how to speak of
those who use such language. At present they are aJury.
The Foreman.—Let us begin with some of Mr.
Adolphus's witnesses.
Mr. ADOLPEIDS.—No, I wish to see some of your's
first. 1 wish to see King, Spratt, and Green.
Mr. HAYWARD (the Solicitor) here stepped forward
and said, that on the part of the near relatives of the
deceased, he should object to the proposed course of
proceeding. Mr. Adolphus, as acting on the behalf
of some parties who conceived themselves interested,
proposed that line which he judged best ; but it was
only the other day that he objected to the mode which ,
he now proposed. He even stated that it would be a
moral assassination to have Lieut. Gore examined by,
those very witnesses whom he now called. Mr. Adol-
phus ought not thus to dictate to the Jury.
Mr. Brown (a Juror) protested against Mr. Adol-
phus's interference.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—That has been decided over and
over again. Mr. Adolphus then wished that William
King (a former witness) should be called.
Mr. HAYWARD again objected. If he (Mr. Adol-
phus) called up any of the former witnesses, who had
sworn that they should know the person of the Officer,
he should call up all the Officers who were out on
the 1-kt:), and Ict tlwrit examine them together.

Mr. ADOLPIIUS said, that as the Gentleman (Mr.
Hayward) had made his objection in a fair manner,
he would answer him ; but he thought that the pro-
per time would be when the witness was called; then
he might object to any question put, if he did not like it.
The CoitoNta thought that no objection ought to
exist to the re-examination of the men called for.—
Their object there was to get all the information
in their power.

William King was then called in.—(We should
here state, that before this witness was called Lieute-
nant Gore came into the room and took his seat at
the Reporters' table, immediately behind the chair
usually occupied by the witnesses).
Mr. ADOLPHUS (to the witness).—You said you
should know the person who shot Honey?—Before
the witness answered this,
A Juror (Mr. Brown) said, that he was not bound
to say anything to criminate himself.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.— How ? Criminate himself ? Why,
how should he criminate himself?

The Foreman suggested, that before the witness
was called upon to point out any individual, the Gen-
tlemen at the table should stop writing. (Lieutenant
Gore was at this time writing at the table.)
Mr. A DOLPHLTS.-Oh, there is no wish for conceal-
ment. Lieut. Gore, have the goodness to stand up.
. Lieutenant Gore stood up immediately, and turned
his face to the witness, who stood within about two
feet of him.

Mr. Blakie.—Before the witness is examined by
Counsel, I wish to ask him a question. Were you (to
the witness) examined by any party touching the
death of Richard Honey, since you were here before?
Witness.—l was not.
In answer to another question.—l was never exa-
mined, nor told what to say on this occasion.
Mr. HAYWARD now objected to this proceeding on
the part of Mr. Adolphus, unless all the Officers of
the corps were present.
The CORONER overruled the objection.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—SureIy nothing can be fairer.
This witness said on a former occasion, that he should
know the Officer who was with the detachment. Here
is that Qfficer ; now let him identify him.
The witness was now confronted with Lieutenant
Gore, and, looking stedfastly at him, he said, in an-
swer to a question from Mr. Adolphus-1 swear that
that (pointing at Lieut. Gore) is the Gentleman who
filed the pistol, the contents of which I did not know
whether they were intended for me or Mr. Honey.
Honey fell at the time of the discharge of that pistol.
I, that the Gentleman whom you saw at the Horse
Guards on Sunday the 19th of August, being the
Sunday after the Queen's funeral ?—Yes, Sir, that is
the Gentleman.

Was this the Gentleman whom you said you saw
the last time you were examined in the parlour of the
New Inn?—Yes, Sir, this was the Gentleman whom
I alluded to in my evidence on that day.
During this identification the witness appeared to
be perfectly collected and positive.
Lieut. Gore also appeared quite collected during
this examination : he was dressed in plain clothes.
William Spratt was called in, and sworn. He was
examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS, and deposed ac follows:
—I was examined before this Inquest on Friday last. I
then gave evidence concerning a person whom I saw
go into the house, and out of the house, and who is
the person that shot Richard Honey.
Lieutenant Gore was here directed to stand up by
Mr. ADOLPHUS.

By Mr. Blakie.—No person has been with me for
the purpose of examining me respecting my deposi-
tion. I met with a Bow-street officer, who attempted
to fish me a little; but I would not let him catch
any. I met him in Oxford-street.
The Foreman.—lf he did, he would only have
caught a sprat !
By Mr. ADOLPHUS.--(Pointing to Lieutenant Gore)
—ls that the Gentleman you alluded to in your for-
mer examination ?—Yes, Sir. And he is one of two
Gentlemen I saw at the inspection, before both of
whom I stopped. It was not this Gentleman, but
the other, who had his cheeks stained. By the in-
spection, I mean the day I went with the Coroner's
ticket to the Barracks, and was kept a prisoner there.
I was starved almost to death.

By a Juror.—Not with cold ?—No, Sir ; I was
without victuals from eight in the morning till ten at
night. It was the day the Jury were shoved out there.
The CORONER.--Aroll have nothing to do with that.
Witness.—No, Sir ; but that was the day.
By Mr. Auounus.—llid you on the last day you
were examined point out that Gentleman, as he was
going into another room ?—I did not point him out
to any one. I merely said, ,g There he goes."—The
witness added, that the Bow-street officer asked him
to go into a house to drink ; but he declined, saying
"he had no money just then." The Bow-street of-
ficer was present at the inspection at Knightsbridge
Barracks.

sama Green being sworn and examined by Mr.
ADOI.PHUS, deposed as follows :—I was examined
last Friday. I alluded to a Gentleman whom I saw
coming in at the door of the New Inn, where the Jury
were on that day ; and who, I said, was the person
that shot Richard Honey. That is the Gentleman
(pointing to Lieutenant Gore) whom I alluded to.
He is the man who shot Richard Honey in my pre-
sence with a pistol.
By Mr. Brown.—Since my examination before,
no person of any description has talked to me on this
subject. All the talking in the world would not put
me out of the truth.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—That is the witness's character of
himself, but you may take it if you please.
The witness, when leaving the room, said—l un-
derstand, Gentlemen, I am to be transported : if so,
I hope it will be to a better place.

Brook Page being sworn, deposed as follows:
By the Foreman.—l was here last Friday, but was
not called for. I was, however, examined before.
I did not attend at the Barracks on the day of the in-
spection. I said, in the course of my examination,
that I could not swear at that time to the Gentleman
who shot Honey. Circumstances have since occurred
which lead me to think within myself, that I could
now recognize him. I cannot say that I should know
him in coloured clothes, but if I saw him in uniform
and on horseback, as I did before, I think I should
know him. I hare had no conversation with any
person since last Friday, touching this Inquest on the
body of Richard Honey.
Be good enough, without hurrying or confusing

yourself, to look round the room, and see if you can
point out the Gentleman to whom you allude.
The witness looked round the room, and pointing
to Lieutenant Gore, said, " That is the Gentleman,
I think. Ido not say I can swear to him in coloured
clothes, but that appears to me to be the man."
By Mr. Blakie.—l saw that Gentleman come into
this house to-day. No person pointed at him, and
said " Thaes the man." I saw him coming into this
house to-day, and I likewise saw him on Friday last.
I saw him last Friday coming down from Cumber-
land-street, and towards the New Inn. I was alone
at the time. I thought at the time that was the Gen-
tleman I saw on horseback. I made no observation
to any person. There was no one with me. I do
not say that was the Gentleman who shot Honey, but
that he was the first person whom I saw fire a pistol.
I did not see Honey fall.
By Mr. Brown.—l did not see any other Officer on
the spot but that Gentleman. There wete, I know,
other Officers on the road.

By Mr. Anocetws.—l am by trade a furniture-
polisher, and a master for myself. I work for any
Gentleman who will employ me.
By Nlr. ADOI.PUUS.—I was just above Sir W. Man-
ner's (Lord Huntingdon's) house when the man was
shot. By above, I mean towards St. Giles's. I did
not at the time know the distance of the place from
that where Honey was shot, but I now know that it
is about sixty yards. I heard many other shots fired
after I saw the Officer discharge his pistol. It was at
the beginning of the firing when I saw the Officer fire.
Mr. AnoLPltus here referred to the notes of Mr.
Gurney, and demanded whether the witness had not
sworn, on his former examination, that, on account
of the wet, and the crowd, and the dirt, and the peo-
ple, he could not swear to the person of the Officer?
The witness was about to answer—when

The Foreman objected to interrogatories founded
on Mr. Gurney's notes. The Coroner's notes alone
ought to be referred to.
Nlr. ADOLPIIUS contended, that he had a right to
put his question from any notes or memorandums
whatsoever. He considered it highly improper that
he should be interrupted in his examination.
The CORONER held, that Mr. Adolphus was per-
fectly correct, if anything contra.lictory appeared in
the nian's evidence, to call on him to explain it.
After some further altercation, the witness ad-
mitted that he had, on his former examination, stated
what had just been read to him by Mr. Adolphus.
Several of the Jurors observed, that the witness
spoke doubtingly on the present, as well as on the
former occasion.

The Foreman still contended that the course taken
by Mr. Adolphus was irregular. The Coroner's notes
alone ought to be referred to.
Mr. Blakie made a similar observation.

The Foreman observed, that attempts were con-
stantly making to deprive the Jury of their rights.
Several Jurors denied that Mr. Adolphus had any
right to examine the witnesses.
Mr. Spicer was of opinion that the conduct of Mr.
Adolphus was perfectly correct. The Coroner had
ruled that he had a right to be present, and he cer-
tainly was justified in putting his questions from any
note, paper, or memorandum he pleased.
r. Brown.—Really, Mr. Spicer, you are not a
Counsel on this occasion. It is true, you keep better
company than we do : you are amongst the Law; but
I hope you will allow us to be guided by the Gospel.
A Juror.—By the rule laid down by Mr. Adol-
phus, any Juror may produce his notes, and ask
questions from them. _

Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Undoubtedly they may.
A Juror.—l do not approve of harsh observations
being made by Mr. Adolphus as to the impropriety
of Jurors, in the discharge of their duty, offering
such observations, and making such interruptions as
appear to them necessary, in furtherance of the ends
of justice.
Mr. Blakie considered that the Coroner was sub-
jecting a Witness to cross-examination, which he must
solemnly protest against.
After a few words from Mr. Brown and another
Juror, the CORONER said, he thought it would be
better to go on.
Mr. Blakie suggested the propriety of adjourning,
while Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Coroner compared notes.
The last question being repeated, witness wished
to address the Jury.—Was he bound to answer this
Gentleman (Mr. Adolphus) if he was no Juryman?
The Foreman thought not. He considered he was
not bound to answer Mr. Adolphus. He saw what
was wanted : they wanted to dismiss this Jury and to
get another—a rib-stocking Jury, that would bend
to anything.
Witness, on being asked by Mr. ADOLPHUS, again
objected to answer him.

The CORONER ruled that the question was proper,
and ought to be answered.
Mr. ADOLPIIus then requested that the former exa-
mination of the witness might he read over to him.
The CORONER then read out a very considerable
portion of witness's first deposition.
Mr. ADOLPIIUS again asked—Did the witness say,
on a former day, that he took what care he could of
himself, and that that was sufficient for one man to
do.—The witness replied, he might have said some-
thing to that effect.
The witness admitted that he did say it was hardly
possible for a person, situated as he was, to distinctly
mask a man.

Mr. Brown declared that he felt for Lieutenant
Gore; and why were his feelings to be harrowed up
in this manner?

Mr. A DOLPH us declared that he was 'nice ready to
answer Lieutenant Gore on that subject vny where.
Mr. Brown said, Mr. Adolphus had &one Lieute-
nant Gore's cause no good on a former day. He had
told untruths of him; and though the Jury might
not be legally a match for Mr. Adolphus, yet a Jury
had as much good sense as Mr. Adolphus had, and
an ounce of good sense was worth a pound of cun-
ning any day.
Mr. ADCL£IIUS.—And an ounce of honesty is
worth both.

The Foreman.—Those words, as coming from Mr.
Adolphus, I with most decidedly to be taken down.
The witness said, I did not go to the inspection of
the barracks on the 21st of Augu3t. I knew it was
to take place, but not being summoned I did not go.
I know not Mr. Baker, the upholsterer.
The Foreman wished to know what this could have
to do with witness's former examination?

Mr. Bruwn.brzeeJ tL.t uitues wk.:llJ not ceani.
