THE ADJOURNED INQUEST.  The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Thorns's H. Burke was resumed on Monday, at Steven's Hospital, Dublin, before Dr. N. C. Whyte, City coroner. There was • great crowd outside the building and considerable excitement was manifested. The Atterney-venerai, Norio arrived on Dionuay morning, was present with Mr. Nash, Q.C., the law adviser, and Mr. Murphy, Q.C., and Mr. Samuel L. Anderson, Crown solicitor. Superintendent Mallon, Inspeotor Murphy, Superintendent Byrne, and Sub-Inspector McClellan attended on behalf of the police. Dr. Grimshaw, Dr. Carte, Surgeon Porter, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Ormsby, Dr. Tweedy, and Dr. Miles, were also present. The j ury having been sworn, The Attorney-General (who while speaking was visibly affected) said : Mr. Coroner—By the direction of his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, I am Lore on the part of the Crown to offer you any mistance—though I think it is msot probable you stand in need of none—which you may require during this inquest on the bodies of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, both dear friends of mine. His Excellency, sir, has deemed it right that where great officers of the State have been made the victims of foul assassination, the first law officer of the Crown shall attend at the inquest which veu are 4bOlit he. huid  A juror: (Mr. Langan): May I offer a reasonable I excuse for not attending—viz., my health is not good, and I might have to stop during the time the inquiry is proceeding. The Coroner: Well, Mr. Langan, you are already sworn in to do a duty, and I could searcely accept e plea of that kind unless during the course of the inquiry it became impossible for you to attend. I Annot tell whether the inquest may be protracted Dr not, but I think it is better that you should remain on the jury. I have sworn in eighteen jurors in order to meet a case like yours. Of course, we shall detain no man to his detriment or disadvantage, but I think that at present I should not like to excuse you. Gentlemen, since you were here yesterday an examination of the bodies of the deceased has been made. The sight of them in the first instance was sufficiently shocking; but it conveyed no idea of the terrible, the demoniacal savagery with which these poor gentlemen were assailed. Looking at the wounds they received, and the terrible nature of them—attacked simultaneously by adversaries in front and rear, within sight of the peaceful Wilgus of the park, it is not too much to say that the feeling of the entire community has been aroused by this terrible act, and it is right that I should also say now that, in my own opinion; any person who fails to give even the slightest clue that will lead to the bringing to justice three cowardly assassins is as morally guilty as the actual perpetrators. I therefore trust that any person who has any information of any kind to give will not fail to do his duty. I am sure every Christian man here who thinks that in doing his duty he might meet the assassin's bullet, will feel he should not, and will not, shrink from it. I know nothing of the evidence to be put before you, and am only glad to have the assistance afforded me by the Executive. I cannot help saying that I think it is a strong proof of the confidence which the Executive has in the administration of the law by the citizens of Dublin in this particular instance. (To the Attorney. General) : I will ask you to put the evidence forward in such a way as you may think most advisable. _  Evidence was given by the car driver who drove Mr. Burke towards the Viceregal Lodge until he overtook Lord F. Cavendish, when he alighted, witness then observing no car in the vicinity. The tricyclists who discovered the bodies after seeing a scuttle also detailed what they saw; and Lieutenant Greatorex, of the Dragoon Guards, deposed to seeing what he thought was "drunken horse-play," after which four men mounted a car and drove off. Medical witnesses having described the injuries to the deceased, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that they were wilfully murdered by persons unknown. The jury also expressed their abhorrence of the crime wuich had disgraced the country, and their sympathy with the families of the deceased; and approved of the movement to start a public subscription for a reward for the discovery of the guilty parties.
