Invest?
Tie Coorinsult has not uatll hapset), been every
common thing.
A Jaren—After this obeervatloo, I shish Itf. Adol-
phus, if be bas say delicacy, will feel himself called era
to retire.
The Foreron—l wish to bow whisthee he Ms ally
legal tight to be here at all ?
The Denser —Penns have acted here as Cattail
without aay immediate watbority, sod we are bound to
bear on one side as well as the other. We do sot sit
here to find a man guilty, but to inquire into all theidr-
cusistances of the can. Mr. Adolphus uppers to be
here for the purpose of tailing witnesses for our further
satisfaction.
A Juror—The question which be wished to put to
this timid woman, seemed to me to ban as other ob-
ject than that of thwarting the ends a justice. We
should be glad to know for whom Mr. Adolphus at-
tends..
Mr. Molpbus—l attend here for those for whom Mr.
linen has hitherto appeared ; for those to whom ques-
oos have bees put, and requestioss made, and who
ban been supposed to be implicated is this trans.,
action.
The Coroner recommended the Jury to proend is the
Inquiry.
The Foreman—lf be has no legal right .M be hors. we
will sot suffer him to dictate to us.
A Juror—We will not suffer him to dictate to as an-
der any circumstances.
The Coroner said they had already heard Mr. Waith-
man on one part, and they were bound therefore to bear
Mr. Adolphus on the other.
Mr. Waitinan—l must again repeit that I appear
bore for no party ; 1 have never assented the character
of an advocate, and my only object has been to assist is
investigating the truth. If I knew of a murder having
been committed, and met with • man capable of giving
important testimony with respect to that murder, I
should feel it my duty to assist in bringing that testi-
mony forward. I have done this, but I did not do it
without a written request from the relatives of the de-
ceased. With regard to that part of the proceeding
which tends to implicate any individual, I have taken no
part whatever. That is a duty which the Jury is no
&obi bound to perform ; but having laid the facts be-
fore you, I bare discharged my duty, and it is my inten-
thea, unless some particular occasion should arise, not to
ores my month again before this Inquest. If I bad a
client 1 should have no reluctance in asentioniog his
name ; and this is the difference between myself and
Mr. Adolphus, for he seems to sandier all maakind.
The Coroner observed, that some persons had cer-
tainly been pointed at in the course of the inquiry.
Mr. Waithman said, that if he was the person al-
luded to by the Coroner, he repelled the imputation of
his having pointed at any individual. The fact was,
that if he had a suspicion on the subject, he believed
his opinion differed materially from that of the Jury.
He had some strong reasons for his present opinion,
though undoubtedly circumstances might; arise tol
shm it.
The Poresoaa.-4 Atoll se to
adjourn, and ascertain the right of Mr. A phial to
interfere is our proceedings itefore we proceed. We'
are completely taken by surprise.
A Juror--Certainly; rather than proceed in this
way 1 move an adjournment.
'lite Coroner—l think Mr. Adolphus bas authority
to ask any questions for the purpose of elucidating
the truth.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that If he bad an advocate to
contend with he should know how to proceed. In the
present case it was scarcely possible for him to answer
an objection without increasing the ill-feelings of the
persons to whom he addressed himself. file was us-
doubtedly prepared to maintain his right of attending
as Counsel in that place, and with regard es the goes-
tin which had prodused all this distiolin, it was
on of the most ordinary questions pat in a Court of
Justice. Nothing was more common what the wh-
oopee swore to the absence of a fact spell his own
knowledge, than to ask him negatively wbether be
would undertake to swear that the fact had, sot hap-
pened. This was one of the simplest questions that
could be asked ; it was purely elementary ill was.in
fact, the " exclusion of a coaclusion."
A Juror—Your object was evidently to thwart the
ends of justice. We wan, to know for wham you
appear ?
Mr. ADOLPIIIII-:-I tan scarcely imagine that 1 am
sitting among Englishmen, when I hear the tight
of a Counsel questioned to attend on behalf of the
accused.
A Juror.—No person is accused.
Mr. ADoutays—Can any man lay his bud on his
heart, and say that nobody is accused ?
Several Jurors—Nobody.
Coroner--fiestiomen, will you please to proceed ?
A Juror—l fwe are to have such obstacles thrown
in our way, I move an adjournment.
The Foremaa—l think we ought sot to renal
further, until we hare obtained professional advice.
The Coroner--I think Mr. Adolphus is legally en-
titled to be here.
The Foreman—lf you take upon yourself, Mr.
Coroner, so to decide, I have no objection to proceed.
Josiah B.own, No. 2, Brest Cumberland-street, saw
the whole of the Procession. lie saw dragoons sta-
tioned some one side of the gate, some the other. They
sere headed by a thin tall gentleman; be should not
know him again. The people were all very quiet till
within 20 minutes before the corpse came. The rain
came on, and the dragoons were patting on their cloaks.
When the hearse came, a person attired is a cloak came
and said something which I could not hear, and the
soldiers began to ride shoat and cut with their swords.
Sooa after the soldiers began to ride among the per
ple stones *ere thrown;—that did sot last long. T

het land-street, and after staying ten similes rode Off,

and I saw no more of them.
The Gnomon then asked *bat other witness was to
be maimed ?
The Foreman said, the trumpeter and t►e corporal
wits bad been summoned bad net appeeoed.
A Juror observed, that perhaps Mr. Adolphus had
given than orders not to some.
Mr. ADOLPMUIII can give no orders; I can give
advice only.
Mr. Orem—That comes to the same thing.
ADOLPeIIh..I have not said that I have given
any advice on the subject.
Mr. Oren—The thing speaks for itself ; the men
have been summoned and they have not come.
Mr. Arsommus—What advice I have given, I am
answerable to man for.
A Jaror—We have nothing to do with Mr. Adol-
phste's advice; we must endeavour to enfore the at-
teotiance of the witnesses.
Another Juror—Whut is the course to be takes' if
the witnesses summoned do not attend ?
The Comnsan.—When you spew me that the sum-
mons has been served upon an individual, and be 4lois
not attend, 1 will issue a warrant to bring him, but a
reasonable time must be allowed for his attendance.
One of the Jurymen stated, the summoning officer
had been sent to the Barracks, and that one of the
men who was asked, had said he did nut know the
trnmpeter, and that the other who was summoned
(the corporal) who had already been before the In-
quest, was not then in the. barracks. The summoning
officer had now gone again to the Barracks and had
not returned.
Mr. Blakie said he wonld put one question to Mr.
Ado.phus, if he would answer it, viz. :—whether he
had spoken with Mr. Henson respecting the appear-
ance of the trumpeter.
Mr. ADCLPUUS said, he certainly could not answer
such a question, because it was a rule that Counsel not
only might not. but must not disclose what passed at
consultation. Whatever passed between Counsel and
Attorney was sacred, it was intended fur the benefit
of a third party. and the disclosure of it would subject
a Counsel to general balmy or contempt. It was one
of the advantages. however, that the employment of
Counsel gave, that they never communicated with wit-
nesses. All their knowledge of the witnesses was de-
rived through the Attorneys, and thus the administra-
tion of justice was kept pure.
The Coaomaii.—We had better adjourn till the
witness ran be fonnd.
A Juror asked whether the Coroner would grant a
warrant to bring up the witness ?
The Comma* said, reasonable time must be first al-
lowed for him to appear.
After a short pause-
A Juror observed, there mere the four silken, who,
it had been suggested by the Foreman, should have
been summoned. The summons had not yet been is-
sued, as there was a panes the gammons bad better be
directed to them now. There were witnesses who
wonld identify them.
The Coaoxin —What are the names.
Mr. On tars.—The Clerk has them.
A Juryman (we believe) observed, no doubt they
will be advised not to appear.
Mr. preen.—Tben we must have a warrant to bring
them.
Summonses were then made out for Captain Oakes,
Lieutenants Hail, Storey. Clore and Terry.
The CORegill then asked, for what time the Jury
would have the witnesses summoned.
The Jurymen seemed to think that it would be bet-
ter to adjourn till Wednesday.
Mr. Atm:menus said, that though be might he in bed
favour ii make any such request, he should beg, that
if the Jury adjourned over to-morrow, they would ed.
jeers till Thursday.
One of the Jurymen said, Thursday would be Top
ineonvenient to him.
It was them settled that the Inquest should ha 14
learned to Wednesday, and thence to Friday.
A Juryman iskeii whether they could summon the
afters in the regimentals they wore on the 14th ?
Mr. ApoLenus asked. how they could suppose there
weld be sue wer ?
A Juryman he had himself doubted it.
The inquest was then adjourned till Wednesday,
two o'clock.
