I think my chnractr- i iml,l7eated by the remark of
the Juryman on your right, Mr. Coroner, I would
appeal to the Gentlemen rear me, if they hare seen
anything disrespectful to the Jury in my behaviour.
If tlrs!-e has been I am ready to apologise for it.—
But having condtrcted myself in the manner I thought
respectlOl to a British Jury, it is cruel to make such
a reflection on a young man."
An es )Irtira..:na then took place, which ended to
the sati• faction of the witnes., who then withdrew.
The rest witaess was Thomas Colson, corporal of
the Life Gnarls.
Exa:nineil kg a Jurrpran:—l don't know tl:e name
of the trumpeter who rsa> with the detachment at
Cur/Iberia: Li-gate on the 11. th of An;ust.—l He handed
in a list of the men who were on duty at Cumberland-
Rate :—Corr.rral Haywood, Corporal Forge; Pri•
vates, Sowersby, Linderley, Keys, Richman, Barrett,
Gethone, Lyster, Picker sgill, and Wettenhall.)—They

all belong to the same troop.
Examined Ly Mr. .AnoLPIII'S.---They are hot all
well at this moment. Sowersby is in the Hospital
with shouldn blade broken. lie has been there
since the 11th of August. There is a trumpeter of
the name 6I I.nes in our Regiment. I have not the
name or the trumpeter who was in our party. I did
not see bim. I only know the man that I saw. I
believe Jones is about '2(l years of age.
A Jmymaa.—Will you she:, the Jury how you
use the back of your sword ?
Witness said he was not in the habit of doing duty
which required of him to use the sword in that way.
The next witness was George King, who had been
examined before, sworn.—l tell you what it is, Mr.
Coroner, I feel very much grieved that I was not al-
lowed to come into the room to see the Officer.
Mr. Anhurnes.—Stop, stop! Now, Mr. Coroner,
is this fair or regular?
E. e;r,iaetl by Mr. Plakie.—l have seen a person
to-day, who I can swear to be the person that shot
Honey. I saw him in this room. I was on the wall
onosite the window of thi room when I saw him. I
have rot seen him anywhere else to-day. 1 am quite
positive that he was thexerson that discharged the
pistol, the contents of which I cannot say were meant
for me or for Honey. I saw him near about where I
sit, or where that Gentleman sits (pointing to the Gen-
tleman near him). The witness occupied the chair
where Lieutenant Gore had sat.

Exam fled by ilr. A DOLNIUS.—Did you say any
thing to any person when you saw this Officer ?
Witness, to a Juryman.-1 do not know that lam
bound to answer the question of any person but a
Juror _ _

Mr. ADOLPIIVS repeated his question, and the wit-
ness refused a second rinse to answer.

Mr. A eoeettus.--I now tell you that the Coroner
Las ruled that I have a right to examine.
Witn,:ss.—Then I'll answer you.
Question repeated.— Answer—No, I did not. There
was nobody with me when I saw the Officer. I have
seen the Gentleman, hut I don't know his name. I
have been here since two o'clock to-day. I came here
of my own accord, on finding that the Officers were
to attend to-day.
Why did you use these expressions—" Mr. Coroner,
I tell you what it is; I find myself very much
erieved ?"-1 have been here since two o'clock ; 1
Lave but one arm ; I have very little to support my-
self but my pension and my daily labour. I can get
but very little of that. I can't afford to lose my time,
without some prospect of compensation. I came here
voluntarily, without any person desiring me. I was
not summoned. It might be about halt an hour ago
since I was looking at the Gentleman in this room
from the wall. It might be more. I had not a
watch about me. I now live in Wild-street. I have
lived there about eight months. I was, before that,
down in Hampshire. I lived in Stockbridge, in
Hampshire, before I came to Wild-street. I have
Leen at sea five years.
Question.—With whom did you live there ?
Mr. Blakie.—Are you going to character, Mr.
Adolphus ?
Mr. AD:)LPITUS.—I am not; I am striving to get at
facts. I do not found any examination upon these facts.l
The examination proceeded.
I lived there with Nlr. King, a brandy-merchant ;1
he now keeps an hotel in Stockbridge ; I lived :betel
about five or six months; I came from Whitchurch.
I lived there about six months.
Mr.Blakie.—lleally this is going too far for a Gen-
tleman who does not affect to implicate the character
of a witness. lithe greatest vagabond on earth saw a.
transaction and swore to it, he is a good witness.
Mr. Aucernus.—l say so too ; but if such a cha-
racter swears to that which nobody else sees, I have
a right to make such inquiries as I think may be of
consequence hereafter.
Several of the Jury objected to the examination.
A Juror.—We ought to say boldly that we will not,
permit it—we are men of business, and our time is
not to be trifled with.
A Juror.—lt is better for us at once to go into the
next room and give our verdict.
Mr. ADOLPH us.—Gentlemen, if you have made
up your minds as to the verdict you shall give, I will
not ask a single question more.
The examination proceeded.
With whom did you live at Whitchurch ?—I un-
derstand I need not answer your questions, unless the
Jury think fit.
The CORONER desired him to answer.
Witness.—l lived with my aunt. I was five years
at sea. I lived in London before I came to Wild-
street. I lived at Half-Moon-court, Stanhope-street,
Clare-mat ket.
What number ?
Several Jurors.—Reafly this is too bad—we see
the meaning of it.
A Juror.—l think it is proper we should adjourn.
Anotanius.—l object to your adjourning until
I have done with the witness.
A Jaryman.—l should like to know really what
right Mr. Adolphus has to exemine at all. He talks
of his lights. I wish he would give us chapter and
verse in support of his pretethion.s.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—I certainly will do no such thing.
The Court has ruled that I have a right to examine,
and 1 certainly will not suffer any man to dispute it.
The examination by Mr. ADOLPHUS proceeded.
Witness.—llefore 1 went to Whitchurch, I lived at
Plymouth-dock. Part of the time I was on board a
vescrl, the reit I lived in Queen-street, Plymouth-dock.
Mr. Arementis.—These are the weighty questions
then that have caused this furious heat a interruption.

The witness haniA in tiro certlFcates: ene from
the Commander of the Nantilifs and Rochester—the

other from the Master of the Peacock, on board of
which he lust his arm in action with the Hornet, both

testifying that he behaved himself with great honesty
and propriety.—He was then further examined.
By Mr. A DOLPII US.-I was at the Hone Guards at
eleven o'clock in the forenoon of Sunday week. I fixed
in my own mini on the individual who shot Honey,
but. did not disclose it to anybody. That was the same

person I seen to-night in this room. Last Sun-
day week was the dAy, lam sure. It was the Sun-
.

day after the Queen's funeral. The window was
open when I saw the Gentleman in this chair. lam
po•i;ive that the man whom I saw here is the person
that shot Honey. He is the individual I saw and
pointed out on Sunday week. He was in uniform on
Sunday, and was relieved by the Oxford Blues.
Sanzad Gicca, who had been examined, was the
next witness sworn.

Examined by Mr. Blakie.-.4 saw a person this even-
ing whom I knew was the person who shot Honey.
I saw him this evening between six and seven, when
he first came in. I saw him come in at the door. I

saw him come out again.
Did you see him in this room?—Not to discern
him. lam quite positive that he is the person who
shot Honey. I did not notice any person with him.
One or two were after him, going in and out.
Examined by the CORONER.—This was the individual
I pointed out on the 21st, when I was so ill-disposed
that I could not recognize him sufficiently.—(The
witness •explained that he meant ill, or indisposed.)
' Examined by Mr. AD(iLPIIUS.—I was only looking
at him a second or two on the 21st, at the barracks.
You went there to examine?—Yes, butt was kept
so long in the barracks that I was quite fatigued. I
was not summoned here to-day. I was ordered to
come here. I can't tell by whom. I was ordered to
come. I came here about hall-past one o'clock. I
came in company with two young men.
Examined by Mr. lilakie.—l was kept in confine-
ment in the barracks from about two o'clock till seven
in the evening, and had not any refreshment from
nine o'clock in the morning.
The next witness was William Sprott, who had been
examined already— sworn.
Examined by Mr. Fllakie.—l have seen the person
this night who shot Honey, and I can swear to him.
I saw hint between six and seven. I saw him in this
Iroom. He Has sitting, I think, in the place where I
now sit. I was looking in at that window (pointing
i to the front window). I was not close to the window.
II am sure I was near enough accurately to discern
his person. I was one of the witnesses that went to
inspect the soldiers at the Barracks. I did not select
any person there. I stopped at two. lam positive
that the Officer I saw to-night is one of the two. I
select him out more than the other because I am po-
sitive he is the man. I saw this Officer fire; I saw
the man shot dead by the discharge. I saw two men
at the Barracks, either of whom I thought was the
man, because the other had put some colour on his
face to make him appear like the Officer who shot
Honey. I would nut decide till a future time. I
have decided now.
Examined byaJuror.—Nobody outside said, in con-
versation to me, or in any way, that that is the man.
By another Juror.—The reason why I did not men-
tion about the colour at the.barracks at that time was,
because the Coroner said I would have sworn to the'
man that passed the door, right or wrong, and I de-'
dined saying a word about it.
Examined by Mr. ADQLPHUS.—I was examined
twice before this Jury. I was not examined since
the inspection at the barracks by this Jury. It was
the other Gentleman that had his face coloured, and
not he 1 saw this evening ; I do not know who that
person was. I looked at these two men. I stopped
before the last man twice. I was positive it was he,
though I would not swear to him then. I did not
mention to the Adjutant at the time that the person
had his cheeks painted. I was ordered to come here
to-day by the Gentleman who summoned me on
Wednesday. He told me I was to come here to-day.
Examined by a Juror.-1 was about ten minutes
' making my examinations of the soldiers at the bar-
racks. I was looking at these two Officers about five
minutes, both times. I went round twice.
A Juror.—Mr. Adolphus is repeating to his Soli-
citor that he will transport two of the witnesses. I
think this most improper.
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—No person could hear it except
one who chose to overhear it.
A Juryman.—Witnesses are not to be intimidated
in this way.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that the witnesses could not
hear it ; it was a communication between him and
his Solicitor. " If we proceed in this way," he con-
tinued, ~ I ant sure it will be necessary to have the
Jury empanelled." I 1
Juryman.—We are men that will not submit to be,
brow-beat by Mr. Adolphus, or any other person. We
have a spirit above it.
Another Juryman.—We really must find another
place for Mr. Adolphus besides one amongst the Jurors.
Mr. Blakie intimated, that though he had a list of
thirty persons in his hand, he certainly would not
call them. It was his intention to call the trum-
peter, the two corporals, and the ten men whose
names had been given in.
The CORONER then declared that it was impossible
for him to sit in that place another day.
One of the Jurymen undertook to find out a proper
place before Monday, and communicate it to his
brother Jurors and the witnesses in convenient time.
The Court then adjourned, at eleven o'clock, to
two o'clock on Monday.

the Course. On acing away, however, she forgot
the ceremony wf payii.„— the plaintiff's demand, and
the present actioil was the consequence.—There being
no defence, the plaintiff had a verdict for £4O.

SATURD 11, SEPTEMBER 1, 1821.

INTERMENT OF HER LATE MAJESTY.

The last saJ duties to the remains of her lamented
MAJESTY have been performed, and CAROLINE of
BnuNswicK, "the injured QUEEN of ENGLAND," now
sleeps with her fathers. The particulars of this
mournful solemnity, which we subjoin, will be read
with deep interest. The conduct of the people of
Brunswick, on this occasion, does honour to their
sensibility; and shews that between them and the
British Nation there exists but one opinion as to the
fate and character of the illustrious deceased.
BUXTEHUDE, AUGUST in.

Leaving Stade at an early hour this morning, the
Procession arrived in the course of the afternoon at
Buxtehude. Great part of the main road was in so
bad a condition that the carriages were obliged to
proceed through lot ests and across commons, at the
imminent and constant risk of being overthrown.
The spectacle of an English hearse and mourning-
coaches, in such a situation, might naturally have
been expected to excite the curiosity of persons who
witnessed such objects for the first time; but a deep
sensation was apparent even in the most unlettered
peasants who approached the cavalcade. About a
quarter of a mile without the town, the citizens and
Magistrates met the funeral, and attended it bare-
headed to the church, where it was deposiied for the

night.
