Pat= Swum NMI. of Puk.lane, near Hyde -Park Corner: He wished to observe again the Sir Robert Baker bad nothing to do With the arrangements of the procession.— But- in consequence of the applications made to him. he was desirous that it should pass through the city. The °ricer of the Life (hard, bad orders to attend Sir R. •Uaker, but to proceed according to the route prescribed in his instructions. When they got into the Park. the people no doubt must have been much disappointed. The consequence was, that they endeavoured to shut the gates ; the soldiers endeatoured to open them ; and then it was that the isischte commenced. It op peered to him that the persons stationed at the gates had a right to beep these open. The Parks were as mach the property of the King as his own house was kin property. The practice of shutting them up on 'Monday evenings was a freest atettie. When the sa lters attempted to.,,open the gliqg they were pelted with stones and brickbats. Another party came to their assistance, and they were pelted in the same man ner. When the Jury reflected that these soldiers were called out, not knowing where they were going, it-was impossible to suppose that they could have malice aforethought in their hearts. The next point they had to consider was, whether by construction of law they could be charged with implied malice? Hs, would take the liberty to read an extract from a book pub lished on the subject by a gentleman named Umfra •ille, and leave it to them to make the application.— (Here the Coroner read an extract from Mr. Ceara vine's book, the tendency of which was to abets, that the malice required to be proved in such cases was that which implied a settled desire of revenge.)—He next quoted a definition of his own immediate predecessor toThe same effect ;4" but observing, in addition, that in all cases of homicide the law afforded indnlgencies t human frailty, and to that alone. It was impossible to conceive a more irksome duty for soldiers of acfinow ledged bravery to be engaged in (and those troops were acknowledged to be among the bravest in the world) than than that of being called upon to act against their fellow countrymen unarmed. It was impossible to suppose, that under such circumstances, they wall bear that malice which the law required to be proved in cases of murder. The men were there to pre4erve the peace, and for no other purpose. They woul.l find, on the evidence of a Captain in the Navy, Vint the soldiers were pelted in the Park ; that so far front betraying any ill tetuper, or wish to retaliate, they removed from one`side' to the other, in order to get out of the reach of the stones. What could the men do more? An advance was next made by two soldiers. and what injury followed? One person got his coat dirtied—a common accident, upon which every one must calculate who gets into such situations. Then woes were petted. Words break no bones, bet RUMS do." Soldiers are men—they have the feelings of min, and are vulnerable as other men. It was was a proof of the disposition with which' the soldiers acted on that day, that though they had pursued one man into a situation from which he could not escape, they in flicted no injury upon him; and he, instead of retiring, returned, and got under a coach to make his observa tions ; that was the witness Alexander. But after all, it was impossible to imagine that an hundred men willing to do mischief c nid have been fifty minutes among that mob, without inflicting any other injury than that of cutting an umbrella and knocking down a few men. They had it also in evidence that thirty seven soldiers were sent to the hospital, and that eight horses were wounded. It could have been no slight attack which produced such consequences.— Besides, it appeared that their pistols were not loaded on going out, for they bad to load theta on the spot. — A great deal had been said about the Riot Act; that Act was much misunderstood, awl therefore he would read an extract from it, io order to satisfy the minds of the Jury as to its tendency. Here the Coroner read an ex. ract from the Act, which states, " That if any persons, to the number of twelve or more, !sting com manded by one or more Justices, or by the Sheriff of the county, to depart peaceably to their habitations, or to their lawful business, shall remain to the number of twelve or more, they shall be adjudged guilty of felo ny without benefit of clergy; and that it shall be lawful for any person to seize and apprehend them, and bring them before a Justice of the peace, to be committed foe the said offence." This did not give the soldiers any authority to fire upon the people, bat merely to ap prehend them. But in the case under consideration, the soldiers were attacked in a most violent manner ; and were justified in taking measures for their own de fence. They were not to stand to be thrown at like game-cocks at Shrovetide ; and such allowance as they would grant to other men under similar circumstances, they wete bound to grant to soldiers who were com manded on a disagreeable duty against their will.— Even if they had ascertained by evidence, who it was that had fired the shot, they were bound to consider whether it was done with that motive which could jus tify them in bringing in a verdict of murder. 'net poor men had unfortunately lost their lives, but it would be equally hard to expose the lives of others without cause. There had been a good deal of ill blood and ill will in the coarse of those proceedings, but he was persuaded that the Jury would disengage themselves from all irritation on proceeding to consi der their verdict ; be was sure that they would forget what had happened at the Barracks; fortunately, none of the Jury had there received any material injury.— lie called on them, therefore, to lay their bands upon their beaks, and say whether what had been done by the soldiery bad not been done in their own defence. and whether if so, they must not acquit them. It being then ten o'clock at night. several of the Jurymen gave it as their opinion that it was too late to deliberate on their verdict, and that they ought to adjourn till fleet day. . Tba Cottons& said the whole question lay Is *inst• shell, and that it would be better to decide ere& that night. .

Examination of Henry Charles El!mood, continued fross the first Milos of Tus STATAWMAS qf yesterday. 1 do not mean that it entirely ceased, but it was lot equal to what it had been. . In this state of quie tude I beard a firing and saw a flash in the Park, on the other side of Tyburn-gate. Several other reports followed in the seine direction. I particularly noticed three shots down Oxford-street. On seeing these shots I endeavoured to trace them down Oxford-street, to see if any body fell. Seeing no effect produced, I concluded that they were firing blank cartridges. One of the soldiers I particularly noticed fired twice down Oxford-street, and on his re-loading the party imme diately moved on Edgeware-road. In the space of five or ten minutes, the party of soldiers, who had before been stationed at Cumberland-gate, re turned to the same place. lat this time saw a wounded man brought past Lord Bagots. A party of soldiers at the same time returned to Camlserland-street. I have nothing further to say. The street being peaceable I went away. By Mr. Gall—l did not see Honey shot. I did not see an Officer fire. There was a trumpeter. I should not know him again. 1 did not see any conversation between the trumpeter and Officer. The former rode about font or five yards behind the latter. ' Mr. Green—l saw the Officer. _ 1 did not know him. He was a thin young man about 22 years of age. By Mr. Spicer.—l observed no soldiers (when the soldiers retired to Cumberland-gate.) turn round on his horse and fire ; I must have seen it had it taken place. By a Jnror.—l saw a man repeatedly attempt to break the paving-stopie • I do not know whether he succeed. ed ; that was at the right hand corner of Cumberland street, close to Lord Bagot's window; I did not remark any particular person throwing stones. By Mr. Drees.—When the firing commenced, the throwing of stoats had partially ceased. I mean that the proportion of stones then thrown was about tea to five hundred of those thrown before ; I did not con ceive it necessary for the firing to commence at that particular moment. Five minutes before there was every justification, because the lives of the soldiers were in danger, but the hearse having then got through, the same justification did not exist as before. By Mr. Brows.--I did not see any Magistrates there. • 'person near me pointed to Sir Robert Baker, but I did not see him. I saw no person in plain clothes mounted on a Life Guardsman's horse. By Mr. Blakie.—When the soldiers returned to Cumberland-gate, the cocduct .of the people was • friendly • weird, them. I saw the people pat ting the horses of..the soldiers .and adjusting their necks. There might then be two or three hundred people around. The shots did not appearto be particularly aimed at one.

Ido not particularly recol lect the officer, he appeared to be rather young than old. A person whom I took to be a trumpeter was,, next to him. The trumpeter's , countenance particularly struck me, because he ap peared to me to be a remarkably handsome young man. think I should know him again. Witness was kere desired to look round the room and say If he recognised the trumpeter. Mr. Blakie—ls that (pointing to Bishop) the man ? That is not the man. • Coaorsaa.—Are you certain ? I as almost positive. Mr. His SON—Will yoa swear it? Coact:sat—Will you swear it ? How near was you hiw •(5 6 yards.) na ?—Only in ukase= to nothing; mod did not stop .

Mr. Spicer:(to witness.)—llo you not think that the dress might not make an alteration in the man ? I think itmight. Mr. Blakie.—lf you think that you would know the trumpeter again, how do you now refrain from speaking positively ? Mr. Browne.—lf he cannot swear positively, do not press him. The deposition was then read over to witness, and he signed it in the usual manner. After a short pause, the COKONBR inquired for what they were waiting? Mr. Blakie replied, that no more witnesses were in attendance, and flak they must adjourn for a short time. At half•past two the Jury adjourned for an hour. The Jury returned at half-put three. Mr. Green—Mr. -Coroner, I beg leave to inform you that it is not our intention to call any more witnesses. We have snore in attendance but we do not think it necessary to call them. 111 r. Spicer-1 am vety' glad of that. After a short pause, The CORONRILI am now going to read over the evidence, and I request silence. There may appear a difference or contradiction between the evidence of some of the witnesses, but it should be recollected that they came up at different times, and spoke to what they had mos in different places. With this observa tion I shall proceed to read the evidence to you. The Coroner then (st four o'clock), proceeded to read over the whole of the evidence as we have already detailed it. The CORONER having gone through the whole of the depositions, amounting in all to 94, proceeded to comment upon the evidence. He said it was now ne cessary to consider what the course of this transaction would be. He should state it as it struck him, and they, having paid so much attention to the evidence, would be able to correct him should he be mistaken. It appeared, particularly from the evidence of Sir It. Baker, that the procession came as far as Kensington without any interruption, but that arriving at Ken sington an interruption took place; this obstruction was the shutting up of the King's highway, which in itself was an offence of a serious nature. Sir It Baker, who did not form part of the procession, was called upon to join it in consequence of this obstruc tion. The civil power. acting under him, attempted to open the Kensington-gate, bet the people hindered, them ; upon which be was joined by the military power. The people then pelted stones and bricks at the ; B almy, and a considerable riot took place. Sir R. Baker, on consideration, did net think proper to dispute iwii yam. and therefore he called off the soi lless,. They proceeded. on, sod between that and ~gyf i e Park a gentleman addressed him. Sir It. Baker epos knows' to le i man p( very tender feelings; he. 1114 s the father of a fsetilp, and could not be suspect ed of any wish to endanger the Rees of his felliw subjects. They still proceeded off to the bottom ...._. _ eTtheraieiiits747seter kolgliabehlg. dews broken. be pesos. sad spied the lite, of•titis !he. , • slog, In • the %host eciaelliettek aratteer, is By it JciPAT' -atones flying 1 hay ; which witraires, es well , as do at- la! *a ,-..* -, ...
