ADJOURNED

INQUEST ON THE BUOY
R. RONEY.
TEN 111 DAY.SEPTILMBER 3.
•ib consequence of the smallness and inconvenismce
of the room at the New Ina, the piquet, Ibiwier,
bat at VW-'situate about
two hundred yar s further up the w are- road. Is
point of aim nothing has been gained by the ex-
fltange, for the room is scarcely so large as that
at the New lan, but it is far more airy, and better
lighted.

It was nearly half-past two o'clock before the Jury
had all assembled, and then, their names having bees
called over,

Mr. Gall (one of the Jurors) begged to call the at-
tention of the Coroner and Jury, before the business
of the day commenced, to a gross mis-statement in one
of the Efening Papers (The Courier.) That paper
had accused him (Mr. G.) of having used foal and ma-
lignant language towards Mr. Adolphus, and had put
words into his mouth which he was certain he had
never used. It stated him to have said—" Another
place, or some other place must be found for the
Learned Gentleman, for, by G—D, he shall not sit
here another day." He utterly denied, however, has,
ing ever made use of those words, or any of the like
import, and be would fearlessly appeal to every person
present for the justice of that denial.
Mr. ADOLTMCS said he did not mean to pronounce
any opinion whatever upon the policy of allowing Gen-
tlemen connected with the public press to go into Courts
of Justice, and take notes of what might be there pass-
ing. The practice had been permitted by the highest
authorities, and long eastern had sanctioned it, and
therefore it would not, perhaps, become him to oiler
any opinion. With respect to the present Inquest, he,
certainly thought the procedings bad been given with
great ability and fairness, both by the Ministerial
and the Anti-ministerial papers, especially when it
was considered how many difficulties and inconveni-
ences stood in the way of any thing like a correct
statement being given. As to the words complained
of, he was not sure whether they were or were not
used ; lie rather thought not ; bat there was a goad
deal of heat of temper manifested, perhaps, on both
sides. Thr Learned Gentleman then motioned that

Colonel Cavendish bad made a similar complaint re-
specting a representation of sawn answer said to have
been given by him to one of eh* Jurors.
Mr. Blakie defended the statement made of that an.
swer in the public mese.
Mr. ADOLI6Iu• sanely mentioned the eirCein-
stance incidentally, sad did net mean to dispute it,
either one way or the other. No doubt, what had
now passed would hard the desired effect of giving
coatradiction to the wards of which Mr. /fall had cosi-
plai ned. •
Mr. Gall said that was all he wanted, and so the con-
versation dropped.
The Foreman now informed the Coroner that the
Jary wished to retire for about a quarter of an boor
previous to the examination stoat witness in wen-
_

dance.
Mr. ADOLIPIIVII wished t ask. before Lhey retired,
whether the witnesses examined es Friday night, and
who had spoken to the ideptity of Liest. (lore, were
still i• attendance. His reason for asking this goes-
tion was, dial the evidence they bad given with respect
to that identity was very imperfect; some bad spoken
of him as a man sitting upon a particular chair ; some
had seen thriongli a window, some tbroegli. a key-
hole, and some, for aught he knew, through a hrick
wall. At that time be thought it improper that the
