The resistance on the other aide assemed a more determined appearance, and at length the Life Guards began to fire on the crowd, with their carbines and pistols. Witness stood quite close to the deceased. and he was surprised to see him ell at once drop to the ground, exclaiming "Oh ! oh !" it was not clearly ascertained at the moment, what was the matter with him, but as he appeared in a dying state, he was carried by some persons in the crowd to Mr. Lightfoot's shop, where be expired in the manner already stated. Witness could not say who indicted the wound, but was sore it proceeded from sere of the soldiery. le cross-axe:ninth helmeted exceedingly violent all through, and that wises they were firing, several stood upright in their stirrups, in order to take deliberate aim. John Tnekett, the son of an architect, residing at lb, George street, Grosvenor-square, stated, that he ;Vas with the procession when it got to Hyde-Park earner ; as Park-lane was blocked up, the cartiages were permitted to march on some distance, and then they were billowed, the hearse was turned back, a marched into llyde Park, ah u many of the carriages containing the mourners, were shut oat, and were obliged t► make a passage i■ the best maltase they could theough•different 4 , streets.

The soldiers having drawn up against Tyburn turnpike, witness climbed up to the tcp of Park wall, thinking he should be safe there, and als3 have a full view of the funeral procession. A strong pelting was kept up from the corner of Park-lane, which at length induced the sol diers to fire. and 211 or 30 shots were discharged in discriminately. Deponent observed one of the officers, a young, slight made man, riding backwards and for wards, who suddenly stopped, drew a pistol from his holsters, which he flourished very gracefully,and thee fired behind him ; witness saw the pistol levelled and beheld the flesh, and the neat second he saw the de ceased (whe stood in the direction to which the pistol was levelled) fall to the ground. No other pistol was fired for some moments afterwards, so that lie was firmly of opinion that the deceased had be:•n shot by this officer. He saw the deceased carried off the ground, and he was particularly struck with the appearance of time officer, who bore a strong resemblance to a young gentleman named White, the son of a brewer, at Exe ter, with whom witness was acquainted, and be hid no doubt that he shoald be able to identify him again if be saw him. The officer marched along by the kirb-stone, striking his sword against the iron railings ; but whether be injured any one he could net say.
