Mr Sites itf Waitlitima here addressed the Coroner s the subject of having the regiment drawn up, an that witnesses mien ace Ilse ofF.cers and men, to aseerts whether they could identify them or not. Ile thought 11 necessary, but the mode in which it was to be done wow of course rest with the Coroner and Jury.

The Coroner said, he had no authority to enforce attendance of the reeistient ; the only thing be could would be to write to the colonel. A fusilier conversation ensued, in the cilium of wl the Solicitor attending for the regiment said, lie certai sit sold not advise Ilse colonel, under the cireunistar to have his regiment strewn stp. it was egret:4lm the matter should be discussed when the examil the witnesses had concluded.

He was one of the I mittee appointed to strange the proceedings of those wished to pay the last tribute of respect to the memor her Majesty. He was with the procession when it arri at Cumberland-gate. These he saw a number of the Guards within the Park. and they appeared to be r much irritated, and were brandishing their swords as threatening the.people. He saw a young man with l' whom " by the comparative effeminacy of his Repeat and gaudiness of his dress lie took to be an officer." was very slim, and appeased less manly than the real ( A laugh.)

The Coroner objected Ili the question, on the , that the Jury had nothing to do with the Committee, its proceedings. Mr. Waithman (warmly)—" Sir, the Committee, I other persons, I among the rest, have been charges the public papers with a conspiracy to block fill the at: e on that day.

I saw one man jammed against a gate, and a soldier cut him down. A gentleman rode up to the soldier, exclaiming 1" You villain you have shed the blood of a defenceless man— ila if you want more blood here kill me." I saw the deceased fall—a soldier deliberately levelled a pistol in the direction where jhe stood and fired—the deceased fell wounded—the people were 'entirely peaceable in that quarter—there were no stones thrown until after the firing—there was no Riot Act read. At 'o'clock several of the Jurymen intimated to the Coroner that they were exhausted, and wished the inquest shoutd be ad journed until Monday. i After some discussion, the Inquisition was accordingly ad journed until Monday next, at three o'clock.
