Irr" g, RI , L_A beer and money to the came into the Rattak yard, and cried set, " Here is a Radical, turn him out." The centime', with a carbitte in his hand, rudely seised me by the cellar. and violently forced me out of the yard. I said, this is ammo ly treatment towards a person who is on business, and waits an answer; I will, however, wait outside the gate till I can see Ser jeans * B ." Is a few minutes a 'squat, who said his name was ", came up to me, and asked me what I war.ted ? I related the charge of Serjeant ***, at the Pahlic house avainst me, and " told me to wait and he would bring use an answer. Whilst waiting outside the fete. a private soldier came oat of the stable near the gateway, and threw a pail of water over nte, and wet me from the waist to the feet. A goo tleman who ' , Amassed the outrage, came up and gays s his card, and while this gentleman was taking say a -dress, several of the Life (Wirth came np, anti threatened to put me in the ditch if I did not go away I then went to the landlord of the King's Head, who was standing at bi- , door, and asked if I bad at all inie conducted myself in his house? He replied, certainly not. I then went to Bvw-street, and made a complaint before a Magistrate. and there found that I could ob tain no redress for the gross assault committed on my weson. I therefore make oath, and say, that the article in the Cowrie, Newspaper is a thew of lies and auisreprireentation, and the charge " that I made attempts to subvert the soldiers from their duty," is an atrocious falsehood; for all my conversation was of the most conciliatory description. The statement " that I plied the sol diers with liqu Jr, till I considered them its a talkative humour." its equally false, for my reckoaing asnonnted, altogether, to elghtpence halfpecny ! S. much for plytog the soldiers with liquor, and endeavouring to subvert them from their duty. I also swear, to the besi of my belief, it is false, that there was any ambi guous conversation whatever. It is false that I was angered to quit the house ; and it is also false " that it was found necessary to duck tue heartily," or, " that I abused the sentinel." London. Aug. 22, 1821.

Mr. IN xsoe—lt is serely improper to slam that oil your own authority, which we ought to have oe oath. Mr. HARMER.—The fact is immaterial, sod I can produce soother witness to the same effect. The witness was then called. Joseph llawkesworth, by Mr. Hoswas—l was at the harracko of the florae Gaards at ten o'clock yesterday, but was not let in till two.

Ily the CORONER—Hoer =say troops were drawn np 7 —The Colonel told a peace Aker, in my hearing, that the whole regiment wee drawn up. A Juror wished to refer to a letter of Mr. liobhonse, in order to aseertaia whether it was the regiment or the detachment which was on duty that day, that was to be drawn up. Mr. Coroner, referring to the letter, stated that the, words were, " the regiment to which the detachment belonged."

It was near flee before the first was allowed to see them.— One of the witnesses went away he would not stop. By a Juror—Then it was a sort of imprisonment ? —lt was. It was the first time I had a guard of harmer by me. By Mr. Massie—Did you say you thought you knew the officer ?—Yes, I said so, but a gentleman told me to say nothing. But you could not identify the man ?—lit was hard for auk• one to know them, they were drawn up au an fairly.

There were two persons so much alike, that I could not say whisk was which. Mr. Haxsos— , —ll protest against any evidence being admitted here which does not regard the cause of the death of Francis. We are not now trying how the man Hooey came by his death. M. Idantsaa—lt is the sane matter, sad everyone asuaected with it is guilty of all the deaths that hap pened: In Inntlint there are No emesemies, all ale principals. Mr. Hansom.—This might be evidence in a Court tlf Jostler whose jurisdiction is more Olienlllllr. but 1 anhaiiit a Coroner's Jury can take no evidence, that does not relate to the death of the man, whose death they are trying. Mr. HAINIR.—Wbat is admissilole in a Court of Justice is so here. There are not two classes et rules of evideme. All persons eoacetned are guilty of all the deaths that happen. By a Juror.---.

Cononaa—Was there a great contest?--There was. Any violence ?—1 did not see any. but some blood was spilt, which cam*, as I understood, from one of the horses. A man on horseback said he would not stir till he knew where the blood came from, and a Guardsman came up and desired him to go away. He would not, and the soldier then cut at him. It was an officer, not a Ovate who desired him to go away. I was pats near them, standing in the small gate at the left hand side. The blood I thought proceeded from a horse. Mr. Hanson—Did you see the blood ?—1 did. When the man would not go, the officer cushion several times on the head, and he bled a great deal. I sag• the.blood *owing from his bead. Mr. Harmer—Had the man on horseback lifted hi• hand against the soldier i—l saw Nothing of the kind. He gave so other lance sham akin who •pilled the blood.
