ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE Boar OF
R. HONEY.

EIGHTH DAT.-ACOVRT 29.

.. . __.
The Jury assembled at the usual hoar this day, and,
the Coroner being present, they remained sense time
before the Gentlemen attending from the Daily Press
were admitted.

The Beadle announced that the corporal. and the
trumpeter. who had been summoned. were arrived.—
The former was then called in and examined.

My name is John Haywood. I know nothing of
the death of Richard Honey, farther than that I was
out on a party that day stationed at Cumberland►gate.
There were ten privates, two corporals, one officer,
and a trumpeter. When we came to Cumberland.
gate we were divided into two divisions of six each.—
Otte six station. d on the right hand side of the gate,
the othe► six on the left. The whole were in Oxford-
road at the first coining oat. After we were et/Mooed
and divided into two divisions, ate were ordered to
cloak. The next thing that occurred when two came
to cloak, Lieutenant (lore, who commanded the party,
had no cloak. I rode out of the ranks and asked Lieut.
Bore to accept my cloak. The next thing that w-
owed, when I a,ked Lieut. Clore to accept mine, he
*aid " NO," and then lifted up his shabraq% sari
a ~.t, Aly .ervant has sent me out withont.clirak ae
The west thing, we walked oar horses
slow. backwuda .andi tommards Is. sho. street. .
next thing that occurred to that, a large crowd of
people came forward and stoat the gates. We opened
them again, anti put a sentinel on each side of the
gates, in the inside of the Park. he next thing to that
was a larger crowd still, who shut the gates again,
and forced the two sentries. We opened the gates
again by force and posted two more sentinels. At that
time w•e were saluted by a shower of brickbats and
stones by the crowd. This was about dinner time, be-
tween twelve and two o'clock, before the procession
came up. The next thing, I was hit on the temple
with a brickbat, which made me deaf and blind for
some minutes. When I came to myself again, I saw a
great crowd of people blocking up the Edgware•road.
The next thing u as, by the assistance of lily comrades
and the police, to get away two waggons, posts arid
gratings--that is, iron things to carry away the water,
from the main road. That was all I saw, except be-
ing hammered with brickbats and stones. There sere
no horses in the waggon. Some of my comrades bad
been ordered to clear the people, and I saw them busy
blocking up this road, and came dawn there. I was
hit at the time the order was given to clear the people,
and I was dizzied for about two minutes. We were
obliged to draw our swords, because the people would
not obey the order to disperse, and we were obliged
to use violence with the fiat part of our sword•. When
we drew our swords it was the second attempt to shut
the gates, and there seemed to be a confederacy be•
tween those people and those at the end of the Park
throwing stones. Before we began dispersing the
people the first time, that is, at the first shutting of
the gate, there was • good deal of ill language and a
few stones thrown, but nothing of any consequence to
take notice of.

Mr. Spicer—l beg to remind Corporal Ilaywood
that he is not obliged to say any thing to cowwit him-
self.

Several Jurors thought this caution improper and
unnecessary. One said, it he speaks the truth he
cannot commit himself.

Witness proceeded.—When we were first drawn up in
Oxford-street the people shut the gates. We asked
them if they were the gate-keepers ? They said so; and
called us abusive names, threw some few stones, but Wl-
thing of consequence.--Tire gates were shut again, tied
we were obliged to use violence to open them ; I mean
by violence that we used force. When we attempted to
open the gates a second time, which were shut by the
mob, or the people, if you are pleased to call them so,
stow s came in great currents from the Park, the wall,
and off the Lodge. I used the fiat part of toy sword my-
self, anti many 1 saw use them. I saw nobody use the
edge. The procession bad come up at the gates when
the second shutting of the gates took place, and then
the shower of stones took place. I was then struck
with a stone, and was not able to know what took place
for some minutes. The other Corporal was one of the
sentinels inside the park. Theo I came down with my
comrades and the police, and cleared away the waggons,
sod posts, and grates. I beard firing, but I saw none.
I saw no man fall. I remained on my station until the
detachment marched a to the barrack. We thew formed,
and I was on the left of the detachment. I did nut see
the Officer and the trumpeter in conversation as they
marched along. I heard no cry by the people,
.4 There go the two butchers together." It is tlie
duty of a trumpeter to be io the advance guard upon
all duty. I caused say whether the horse could have
been cut with a sabre or not. It could not have cut hint
ondew the Jan. Tiers were stones thrown front Olt •

Sy Mr. Harcoopc.—We NNW not hays cleared the

lb. people would not obey the voice nor take orders
quietly. To the best of soy recollection, as I was hit on
the head, the firing did not C 0111111,1160 till I got down to
the Edgeware road.

A Jiiner.—Are you quite sure you saw no firing?-1
did not see any firing, neither did 1 hear any report until
1 got down to the Edgeware-road. There was only one
officer, Lieutenant (lore, who commanded at the Cum-
berland-gate ; :Captain Oakes and two other officers
came up at the time.
The evidence of tile witness was then read over to
him previous to his signing it, and the Jury expressed
their satisfaction at the manner in which it had been
given.

The Coroner stated to the Jury, that he had received
a letter signed by Colonel Lygon, acknowledging the
receipt of the summonses in the absence of Colonel Ca-
vendish, and stating that those for Corporal Haywood
and the Trumpeter had been served, and that the other
indivisinals for whom summonses had been sent to the
Barracks were absent from town, but would receive or-
der: to attend as soon as possible.
Mr, Hamm,' sail that the wishes of the Jury had
be" communicated to the parties, and although the dis-
t*, at which they tretirpitfinted their atteisdits4 Bits
day, they would certaiislv be in attendance to appear at
Ohs next atilittir Gnu Atty.
Several of the Jury thought these communicationshad
been waile in a handsome manner.
The Trumpeter being present, was then called in and
examined.

Richer...l Farmer is a Trumpeter in the IL troop of Ist
Life Iluarels; says there is a trumpeter of the name of
iii‘hop, who is learning to blow the trumpet. Ilislsop'i
(edict %vas a Quarter-master in the regiment.

Do you know the name of the ordinary Corporal ?-1
Jo nut know the name of the orderly Corporal who
acted on the 14th.

The snmmoning: officer now stated that a message had
been received from M. Potaad, a witnesg, who stated in
twitter to the summons, that he had nothing material to
communicate.

The next witness was Robert Aldin, who deposed as
follows live at 13, Hart-street, Grosvenor-square; I
am a wood-turner by trade; I was one of the persons
who ossittetl in picking' np Richard Honey, after he
fell ; he was standing in the front of me; I was on the
curb; before the man fell he staggered against the rails ;
I thought Ise was drunk, and did not think he was shot
until I saw the wound ; he was afterwards carried to Mr.
Lightfoot's ; the person who assisted me in lifting him
up received some blood on his shirt collar; I heard shots'
fired at the time, but did not know who shot him ; I was
pulling a person away, and said that they were firing
ball-cartridges. and it would not be safe to stop; I ob-
served an officer riding down Park-lane at the tinier no
holly was troublesome at the time ; every thing was
quiet, and nobody, either by word or action, deserved
death ; I did not observe the man particularly before he
was shot ; he stood io the front of the street, and had
an umbrella in his hand ; I was about to retireat the
time ; at the time the soldiers were firing, the main body
was at the other side of Park gate; there was an officer
who passed me at thr time, but I should not knew him
again ; he rode down Park-lane; there were no stones
thrown from the place where I stood, nor slid I hear a
murmur before the firing took place. There were se-
veral females standing Bear, and one stood against
the railing as I turned round. The man who was shot
did not do any thing to irritate the soldiers; I saw no
sympton of disorder where I stood, bat I heard some
persons among the body of the soldiers cry out. "charge,
charge!" that made me think that they would lire, and I
attempted to get my friend away. I did not seethe
gates put to at all; when I first cause up to Cumberland
Gate, there were a good many persons there ; I saw
bricks and stones thrown while I was in the Park,
and before the man was shot. The soldiers gallopped
on the outside and did not behave so pleasant as
might be expected from soldiers. This caused the
peopk to his•. Some stones were thrown 'at the sol-
diers on the inside of the gate. when the procession
was coming up. The name of my friend was Richey,
a dyer. of Duke-street.
Conorten.—He knows nothing more than you do.
I suppose; you were standing together ?
Jeryman.—Rot one man may see more than an-
other for all that. I think the best way will be to
sonnson

Ho was accordingly ordered tube saransoned.

afterwards understood to be Richard Honey; the people
bad ceased throwing slowest this time; 1 saw a young
gentleman, whom I afterwards understood to be an of-
ficer ; his horse's head was towards enntherland-gate.
and the officer quite wantonly, there being no stones
throwing at the time, turned his face to the people,
presented his pistol over his hridle arm; wises
saw the pistol presented I changed ant position
one pace when the deceased fell ; the °their took as
aim for about a second; I was so close to the man that
l did not know whether the contents of the pistol were
meant for me or the deceased; I saw the Bash and had
every opportunity of recognising the officer's features ;
after he discharged the pistol he rode immediately
amongst the soldiers; he was a very young man, wore
no cloak nor mantle; I retreated down Oxford-street
when Richard Honey fell; oa finding the f ring hat
refixed I came up again. and saw the same officer ar-
ranged in Cumberland street; he was inside the trum-
peter in the rank; I saw him conversing with the
trumpeter and a private of the Life Huard', the next ,0
him on the inside, with great familiarity. and evr.L.
.ionally laughing; I did not hear what they said
have had an opportunity since of seeing the same offi-
cer at the Ilonie Guards; last &today week, I saw
relieved by the Oxford Hines at eleven o'clock; I know
nothing further; I don't know his aunt, bat I knor
his person, and should be able to recognise him any
where; I cannot say whether be was one of the to
ellitellfiß whom the stones were thrown ; I alio:14

not know them again.
• By a Jeryoss—L ban beim is Oho Nov. mid have
lost a limb in the service. I bare a pension of 161. a
year io consequence of that loss i I knew that an in•
quest was sitting on the body of Richard Honey. 1
have not clime here of my own accord, bet have been
seninsoned.

Will you state the reason why you did not come for-
ward voluntarily ?—Wittiess—lbseing the pension of
Ili/. a year I was afraid of losing it. Neither I, nor
Any p. rson near the deceased, were throwing stoups
at the time he fell. On my oath, we were neither boot-
ing nor irritating the soldiers in any way. Ido not
know how many men were with the officer is Cumb-r-
Isnd-street ; I do not know whether the trumpeter was
yoanz or old, but I should know the officer if he is not
disguised. Honey was about 30 yards dis'ant from
the officer when the shut was fired. and I stood near
him. The officer was near Cumberland-gate, and th•
deceased near thc corner of Cumberland-street. I a.. 1
e weinced that th • pistol bred hy that officer killed t',e
deceased. lircause there was no firing before.
fly another Jurvman—The deceased stood with his
face towards the officer when the pistol was fired. 1 he
officer was opposite to us nearly, not directly. Honey's
face was towards the officer, I do not say he nas
abreast of hint.

The plan n•as here shewn to the witness, who point-
ed out the respective positions of the officer and the
deceased.

H otsom—l lost my arm when I was on
board the Peacock sloop, in the engagement with the
Hornet %loop of war. I can produce documents 1.,r
good conduct. I was rated of the maintop.
What rank did you bold on board ?
Some Jurymen objected to this course of menin-
x I

31r. lisssox said be wished to try the credit of the
n fitness.
The Cowmen—lt is a proper question.
Furman—Then you should give us an equal lati-

Cottostut—Mr. Foreman. you are acting very im-
properly ; you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Foreman—lf I ha•l acted so I should be ashamed.
After some f ,rther discussion the question was
given up.

- Witness resumed—At the time that Honey fell there
were about five hundred persons in Cumberland-street.
I did not see the hearse, it had turned down the &hie.
ware-road; they hail ceased to throw stones before the
firing commenced about five minutes; I can't swear
exactly as to the minute, as I had not a watch ala
me; from the place where I stood w►en Honey fell, I
could not see what was passing in the Ildgeware-road.
A Jurur.—Was H.nsey o■ the footway of the pave-
me•nt when be fell ?—fle was os the pavement; be was
opposite a door, het not on the first step; I did not
hear him say any thing; I can't say whether he hal
an umbrella in his band ; I was standing beside hi•n
about two or three minutes; at that time I did nut
hear biniA say a single word; I did not see him clap his
hands an cry out, " The City, the City ;" I don't
know whether he did so before I came there ; I dirt
not see any other officers when I saw the officer wh
fired the pistol, with the party at Cumberland-gate. I
said already I saw two dicers, one went down Park-
lane, and Use ether joined his regiment: that was be-
fore the death of Honey. The dopositioas of the wit-
sess were then read over, and bo added, in the way of
esplination, that he did not mean to swear the offieer
