FATAL A FFRAYatC UMBERLAND GATE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY. TWELFTH DAY, SEPT. 7. _ The Jury assembled this day at eleven o'clock. It was agreed that an adjournment should take place at two o'clock, for the purpose of taking refreshments. Michael Bowman sworn, and examined by Mr. Ammrnos.-1 am a surgeon, I.live in Harley street; I was in Oxford-road on the 14th of August near Cumberland-gate, about twelve etcock ; I saw a troop of Life Guards drawn up, six on each side the gate, in Oxford-road ; a young man, an Officer, was there without a cloak, attended by a person who I supposed to be a trumpeter ; at that time there was no dis tut bailee whatever, their swords were not drawn; 1 went into the Hyde Park Hotel, and sat there; after sitting there about three or four minutes, my attention was again drawn towards the spot ; I then saw the men in the act of drawing their swords, and then pelted by the mob with mud and other things ; a considerable crowd had at that time collected around them ; I saw no one then on horseback but the Guards ; being thus pelted, and a great crowd coming up Park-lane of horse and foot, those twelve men wheeled right and left and went in at Cumberland-gate, holding their swords over their heads ; there ap peared great confusion about the gate ; the sol diers soon returned through the gate, pelted by the mob ; pelted with bricks and stones ; saw many of the bricks brought from the wall of the Park ; I thought the soldiers in the greatest possible danger of their lives ; the soldiers re peatedly rod down to Quebec-street after the mob, amidst a shower of stones and brickbats ; they were thrown on all sides, particularly from the Park-wall ; when the men who threw the stones were pursued, they dashed into the mob, so that it was impossible for the military to get at them without riding over a number of people ; I saw the Officer frequently hit with stones like the rest ; I saw a man, in particular, who took Off a number of bricks from the wall and threw them ; a trumpeter, with some difficulty, forced his horse upon the foot pavement, and I' saw him strike this man with the flat of his sword ; on the trumpeter turning back his horse, the man threw at him again. A Juror—Did you dislodge the man ?—No. —After that I saw the head of a detachment under the Gateway ; they moved on, the hearse followed, and the throwing of bricks and stones increased ; there appeared great confusion about the hearse at this time; it soon passed on.; about three or four minutes after that I heard the re port of a pistol ; it proceeded from near Cumber land-gate; I do not mean to say it came from Cumberland-gate, but that the sound came from that direction ; I should conceive it was fired nearly opposite the gate ; in a few seconds I heard several ocher reports irregularly ; in a few minutes after this a man was carried by the window on the shoulders of others; I saw blood on his shirt, and I made the observation, " That man is shot through the heart." While I saw the twelve soldiers at the Park-gate pelted, their conduct was marked by no resistance at all at the time they went into the Park ; the soldiers collectively shewed the greatest patience and forbearance. By Mr. BILOWN.—When the soldiers wheeled right and left through Cumberland-gate they were pelted ; I saw no peace officer expostulate - with the mob and tell them to desist; I saw no firing, I only heard the reports ; I cannot say that my attention was attracted to the spot from which the first report came at the moment ; I did not see an officer at the head of the detachment under the gate; my eyes were directed to that spot, anxious for the arrival of a reinforcement ; the detachment did not fire there ; the detach ment which was before riding down to Quebec street, occasionally mixed with the other ; there was no firing until after the hearse had passed out of the gate ; I do not know what detachment commenced firing, I only heard the reports; a very few seconds intervened between the first re port and those which followed ; the firing had ceased when 1 saw the body taken away. By the FOREMAN-1 saw a great many bricks thrown ; if I could have counted them, I should think there were 2O bricks or stones flying round the officer's head at the same time, some of which struck him ; I thought the soldiers in the greatest possible danger of their lives; I. saw none of them cut or wounded, but I saw several struck with stones and bricks ; I saw an officer parti cularly pelted; he commanded the detachment, and 1 have since heard it was Lieut. Gore ; I did not see him wounded, I saw him struck; the _trumpeter struck the man on the wall with the flat of his sword ; I wilt swear it ; if he had struck him with the point he might have killed him ; I should not know the trumpeter again ; I might, but I don't think I could ; I cannot tell his age; I do not know whether he was a man or a boy : he was a young man y certainly not a boy. By Mr. BLAKIE—When the soldiers came out of the Park pelted, as I could not•see what transpired within the Park, I do not know what the soldiers had been doing ; the man on the wall was sitting astride it, and pulling off bricks ; when he was throwing brickbats the soldiers were passing close to him ; they were passing close to the pavement ; I saw no other soldier cut at him; I saw another soldier attempting to make his horse go upon the pavement, but he did not suc ceed, and the stones and brickbats flew about him. I was in the coffee-room of the Hyde Park hotel when I saw this. The windows were shut. I had not a good view of Curaberland-gate, but a side view. There were stones thrown from im mediately under the window where I was stand ing. The soldiers were then riding up and down, I saw some stones thrown two or three seconds be fore the firing. I did not see the firing, I only heard the reports. I cannot say how far the hearse was gone when the firing commenced. It was two or three minutes after the hearse went out of my sight. I cannot tell whether the whole of the procession had passed at that time. I went to the spot from curiosity. I went from a house in the Edgeware-road. I saw the body come past ; and, from the time of the firing, there was cer tainly time for that person to go away before it, after the hearse was out of my view. I have un dergone no examinatlqii.. I sent in a written statement of what I knew to Mr. Henson, and I wrote the morning after to. Mr. Stirling. By Mr. BROVVN—When I went into the coffee room, I read a newspaper two or three minutes, and I then saw the soldiers drawing their swords and attempting to open the gates, being at that time pelted by the mob. Mr. Brown here went into an argument as to the value of the witness's evidence. He contend ed that he had been for some time in the coffee room without seeing what passed. Mr. Adolphus promised to prove that the mob first began; but this witness did not prove it, because there might have been provocations given while he was read ing the newspaper. Mr. ADOLPHUS—I say, Mr. Coroner, that the witness has distinctly ,shewn that the populace threw at the soldiers before they drew their swords, and defended themselves from the at tacks of the mob. This is the witness's evidence. Mr. Brown—l deny it. Mr. Adolphus—Yes, and I dare say you will by your ver dict [Cries of Hear, hear ! by some, and of Shame by &hers.] A Juror—This is most infamous, Mr. Adolphus, your ob servation is Most infamous, I say. Mr. Adolphus—l care not what you say. Mr. Green—Gentlemen, I wonder you notice him, since you know the i nature of the beast. We are not going to be insulted by a brow-beating, bullying, Old Bailey Counsel. Mr. Adolphus—l am ready to hear any language from you. Mr. Green—You are hired to come here, we do our duty as men, our services are unbought. Mr. Adolphus—l shall do my duty, regardless of such ob servations. Juror—You have no right here. You have been sent to Co ventry. Mr. Adolphus retorted—" These are Gentlemen of the Jury but when they have ceased to be a Jury—we all know what they are." M. Green—l have more to say to you, we are of the Jury, but not of the Jewry, Mr. Adolphus. A long and violent harangue continued till the Coroner pro. posed an adjournment till the temper of the Gentlemen speak mg cooled a little. Alr. Spicer observed to Mr. Brown and others, that he was sure they would be sorry for what they were saying in half an hour. Mr. Brown, during the confusion, loudly declared that they had some SparttN blood in them, and they would be starved before they would yield. Order having been restored, the pro ceedings of the Inquest were resumed. Witness examined by the Foreman—l saw a banner, but I did not see the man who carried it ; I did not see the soldiers with their fire-arms out. Mr. Brown repeated his questions relativl., to what might have passed while the witness was in the Coffee-room reading the newspaper. lie answered that he did not know what then passed, and Mr. Browne said that he could not therefore prove who began the disturbance, as many provocations might have been given in that interval. Mr. Adolphus said, that when a Juryman whose duty it was to hear all before he pronounced, chose to make such observa tions upon evidence, he anticipated the verdict which he meant to give. Witness examined.hy Mr.Adolphus—When I began to read the newspaper, the soldiers were sitting quietly on their horses, and when I looked out again they were drawing their swords, being at that time pelted by the mob. By Mr. Gall.—When I came past Edgware-road it was not blocked up. The evidence of the witness being read over, he further stated, that he had since seen the Officer who commanded the detachment at the gates, and he was told that it was Lieutenant Gore. Richard Buckle 'Feast, Esq. sworn and exam ined—l live on my property, and am now resi debt at the Hyde Park Hotel ; on the day of the Queen's funeral I was at the third story window of that house ; I could see the hearse coming through the trees in the Park ; the gates were then closed by the persons round the gates, and the soldiers endeavoured to open them; they partly succeeded in doing so, when they were closed again by the persons surrounding them; the soldiers were pelted at the gates in endea lvouring to open them, and that was the com mencement of the affray ; the gates were then opened after considerable resistance, and another body of the Life Guards came through, some car riages followed, and the hearse came out nearly into the middle of Oxford-street; the horses heads were partially turned by some of the sur rounding persons; the soldiers then drove the people from the horses' heads, and while they were turning the horses the other way, the hearse and soldiers were attacked with stones and bricks ; the soldiers were repeatedly hit by them ; the hearse then moved to beyond 248, on the Park side of the road; the soldiers then formed them selves into a body nearly opposite 247. The firing then commenced, about ten minutes after I first Saw stones thrown; there was a continuation of the stones throwing from the time of the gate being opened to the firing, from different parts; I cannot describe stones throwing, but they continued to be thrown ; the first seven or eight shots appeared to me to be fired in the air ; about half a minute after the commencement of the firing a man was on the ground about three paces from No. 245 ; I mean a private person ; the persons surrounding him cried 44 Murder." After that I retired from the window till the firing. ceased. I saw one soldier very severely struck upon the back by a stone or brick, when the soldiers were trying to open the gates. The soldiers at that time had done nothing that I saw to hurt or provoke the mob, except in endeavouring to force the gates. Just before the firing commenced, part of the railing of the wall had either been pulled down or was fallen down. By Mr. GALL-Have you been in the room during the Inquest ?—I have been in for half a momout, but not with any wish to be so ; I came expecting to be examined. I could not see any Peace Officers at the gates, it was impossible that I could distinguish them. Both times the gates were shut. I have remarked, that if I had been in the situation of the soldiers I should have done more mischief than they did. By Mr. BLAKIE.—I saw the hearse coming through the Park, but I could not remark the pace at which it came ; I do not know whether it was a trot. When the gates were shut, I saw Soldiers endeavouring to open them both times. The hearse was nearly opposite 248, when I saw the first shot fired, rather nearer to Tyburn gate than otherwise. I believe the whole of the procession had not passed the gate at that time. The man was certainly upon the ground before the whole of the procession passed, to the best of my belief. N 0.245 is situated on the side of Cumberland-street, nearest the hotel. After the hearse passed there was certainly time for the man who was shot to have got away before the firing commenced. I did not withdraw myself from the window the moment the hearse went past Cumberland-gate. I did not hear the Riot Act read ; I did not consider that there was suf ficient danger to require that I should withdraw from the window until I saw the man shot. By Mr. BROWN—The firing did not commence until the last detachment came through. I can not say that I noticed any Officer OWN through with it ; I only saw the body at large ;- I don't know whether that detachment NpmencelitficitKi the soldiers were allln a body tkloi. l 2A Aen , they fired ." I did not observe any one particu lar person fire ; I know - Captain Oakes by sight, but not personally ; I did not notice him with that detachment ; had I seen him I should have known hiin ; I do not know Lieutenant Storey ; I do not know Lieutenant Ilall ; I do not know Lieutenant Terry ; I know Lieutenant Gore, but I did not see him fire. By the FOREMAN.—I saw a trumpeter riding about behind Lieut. Gore ; he appeared to be a young man from 18 to 22 ; I should not know him again ; I do not recollect seeing Lieutenant Gore and the trumpeter in conversation on that day; I saw a man on the ground with a banner; I think he got up and ran away with the banner in his hand ; he did this to the best of my re collection, but the crowd was very great at the time. I saw some of the multitude struck with the stones as well as the soldiers, but I saw no one cut. By Mr. SyrcEn.—l saw the soldiers fire in a body, but I did not see a single shot fired - ; think that I should have noticed if one person had fired when the rest ceased. By Mr. ADOLPTIUSr—I saw the man clown with the banner, and it was furled round the staff. By the FOREMAN—I cannot say how the man got away, but the impression on my mind is that he was not carried away. By a Juror—l saw stones thrown from Cum berland-street, but certainly not from the spot where the deceased fell ; I do not know that they were throwing stones at Cumberland-street at the time the firing commenced ; It was more from the Park. By Mr. CAirr.—l have resided at the Hyde Park Hotel for two years. Ido not call it my residence. My property is in the city and county of Bristol; I am well known in Bristol ; the pre sent Mayor of Bristol rents 8001. a year of me— I believe I am wrong, for the Mayoralty expires on the Ist of September—it is the late Mayor, Mr. Hillhouse. Mr. Drown—l am going to put a downright Radical ques tion—" Had not the people a right to shut the gates ?" Mr. Adolphus said, tins was a question to which the witness could not answer, as he did not know what the people's rights were. Mr. Brown—l say the Parks are held for the people, and they have a right to shut the gates. Mr. Adolphus--I say the contrary. Mr. Brown—There must be the greatest oppositions to make a good bowl of punch. 111 r. Adolphus said, that no party of the people had a right to prevent his Majesty's liege subjects from passing through the gates. It was shameful and shocking to hear such princi ples advanced from a Jury. Mr. Brown declared that the Government had no right to shut the gates against the people. Mr. Adolphus—Then lam sure none of the people have a right to do what the Government cannot, and that, too, in de fiance of the military acting under the direction of the civil power. Examination resumed—The beginning of the affray was the struggle of the soldiers to open the gate, when they were pelted by the mob, and other soldiers behind them then rode among the soldiers, still being pelted. By Mr. Hayward—l did not see the man who fell throw' stones, or commit aT. y other improper act : I did not see him„. but I saw several persons standing where he was. The time which elapsed between the period of the soldiers turning the horses' heads towards Tyburn and the commencement of the firing, was about a minute or a minute and a half. By Mr. Gall—From the time that - I first heard firing, until I saw the man upon the ground, was about half a minute. The Court then adjourned for an hour. The Jury returned at four o'clock, and proceedings were then resumed. John Lloyd, of No. 19, Great Cumberland -street, sworn—l am of no profession, but look after the house of Lord Bagot. On the day of the late Queen's funeral I saw what passed at Cumberland-gate. I was at the window of Lord Bagot's house, nearly tieing Cumberland-gate. I saw about twelve Life Guards there nearly an hour before the hearse came up. Dur ing a part of that hour there was a good deal of hissing and groaning at the soldiers. A little before the procession came up, there came along Park-lane, and that way, a great mob of people and closed the gates. The hearse was then approaching the gates. The soldiers then rushed up to the gates to open them, and a most ferocious attack commenced upon the soldiers with stones, and such sort of things, from all directions. After a great struggle the soldiers got the gate open, but they were shut again once or twice. The stones kept flying all the while. During all this time I did not perceive that any of the soldiers used any more strength than was necessary to open the gates. Mr. Blakie observed, that this was matter of opinion, and not evidence. Mr. Adolphus—lt is given as matter of opinion. The Coroner did not think it an unreasonable question, as the witness saw all the force used on one side, and could judge of the quantum used on the other. Witness—l saw some persons with short sticks, whom I took to be Police Officers, assisting the soldiers to open the gates._ Some may have been the undertaker's men. I saw several of the soldiers struck with large stones and bricks and brick-bats ; I saw one or two doubled up on their horses, and one had his cap knocked off The soldiers upon this endeavoured when the mob got near them, to intimidate them, and drove them back by flourishing their swords. When the soldiers rode to wards the mob, they fell back ; and when the soldiers turned their horses to rejoin their party, the mob threw with as much violence as ever. When the hearse came through the Park gate into Oxford-street, the mob got hold of the leaders by the heads, and turned them down Oxford-street towards St. Giles's. The Life Guards when they saw this, turned back and turned the horses' heads back towards Tyburn turnpike. The stones and brick-bats were not thrown so much after the hearse got through as before, but there was still some. The principal part of the soldiers were gone on before the hearse. I-really consi dered the lives of the military in great danger from what I saw. Up to this period I had not heard any report of fire-arms ; but some time after, it might be five, six, or seven minutes, I heard the report of fire-arms. I did not see .who discharged them, I only heard them ; I cannot say how many pieces I heard dis charged, there might be fifteen or twenty ; the discharge was nearer to Tyburn turnpike than Lord Bagot's. 1 saw a man carried under Lord Bagot's window from towards Tyburn turn pike ; I saw the soldiers, when they ,were going away from Cumberland-gate, two or three with their faces running down with blood, and their clothes covered with mud and dirt. By Jurors—l.was at the window till the hearse passed Lord Bagot's house, but was not there when the firing began : I went at that time to open the door to a ring ; I have been exa mined before on this subject by Mr. Henson ; the nature of my deposition was if not the words to the same purport as here ; I hold a place under Government—one of the Household trumpeters. . - M. Gall—The witness said he was notbinc , at first. Mr. Adolphus —lle said he was of no trade or profession. A Juror—lt's only a blast of air. Witness—l am also a door-keeper at the Coburg Theatre : I am quite sure the soldiers were assisting in opening the gates; whether the Police men or the Undertaker's men did it I know not, but the soldiers assisted ; I did not see the hearse till it got within 30 or 40 yards of the gate; it came very slow when it came up to the gate. Mr. Blakie—Can you give any reason why the firing should begin, the throwing being less violent than before ? Witness—l can give no reason ; I heard no person read the Riot Act ; I neither saw nor heard any shot fired before the hearse went through the gate; I was in the middle of the win dow of Lord Bagot's dining-room, and if there had been any firing I think I must have heard it. The Foreman—Do you happen to know how many whole bricks were thrown at the soldiers NiTitness—l saw two or three whole bricks thrown, one of which hit a soldier. I did not see who threw them, but they came from the Park wall. I saw him tumbling from his horse. I observed an officer at the gate, whom 1 do not know. lie was a young man. I did not remark more than one officer. I saw no pistols nor carbines with any of the soldiers ; I saw nothing but their swords. Saw a-trumpeter that day, but do not know him, nor do I think I should know him again. He appeared to be about 20 or 30, but I took no particular notice. I did not think the soldiers flourished their swords in an improper man ner. I saw a soldier and his horse down, but how he came so 1 don't know. I did.not see him till after he was down. Mr. Gall to the Witness—There is a technical way of speak ing among musicians, such as do you " know" the violin, the flute,ony other instrument. Witn ti A - --Well, Sir. Ake: Gall—Welk then, allow mifito askyou,,,dojou knoll/Nit trumpet ? Witness—No, Sir. Mr. Gall—The King's trumpeter, and not know the trum pet.—(A laugh.) Some Jiirors—That's a good one, however. Mr. Gall—Pray put it down—rt is the cream of the whole day's work. The Coroner, after being pressed to put this down, which led to some discussion, decided in the negative, seeing no relation that it could have to the object of the inquiry. Witness—l saw the people take up some paving stones which had been laid down, but not fastened, at the corner of Cumber land-street, and strike them one on the other to break them ; this was the corner nearest Tyburn-turnpike ; 1 cannot say that I saw stones thrown from the opposite corner of the street, but 1 saw them from the middle of the street, and from all di rections ; I did not take notice of any of the horses Wounded— I saw several struck, but I did not see one with his throat cut ; the young Officer I observed went off the grodnd at about one o'clock ; I did not see the trumpeter go, nor did I see that trumpeter in conversation with the young officer I have men. tioned. When they were carrying the man through Cumber land-gate I heard the cry of " Murder." I have had no letter nor communication with Lord Bagot nor his domestics; I have seen no one but Mralenson and his clerk on the subject since the 14th of August. Mr. Ni'aithman came to the parlour win dows, and asked one of the maids whether she could give any evidance, and she answered no, as she was too much frightened. Had he come to me I should have given him exactly the same information I gave to Mr. Henson. Michael Lambton Este, examined by Mr. Adolphus.—Was Surgeon of the First Regiment of Life Guards. Was waiting at the barracks all day on the 14th, and saw the Soldiers as they came in.- Thirty-seven came under his care through hurts and bruises received on that day. The greater number of hurts they had received were contusions on the head, neck, body, and limbs, such as would have been inflicted by stones and brick-bats. There were five fractures. All these were so struck and bruised that they certainly required care at his hands—all of them. He did not see any more than 37 ; he heard of more. Five had fractured bones; one had a broken cheek bone; one his shoulder-blade broken, ('iis name was Sowerby) ; one his collar-bone broken ; one an ancle-bone broken ; one a shin bone injured : the skin broken, and the bone injured, and an arm . injured. The wounds were recently inflicted. There were 36 brought in from the riot at Cumberland-gate ; one man was brought in, having been assailed in the evening in West minster. There were thirty-six injured in the riot. They were doing their duty, perfectly well. He ordered them into the hospital ; he placed them on the sick list. By the Foreman—None of the men with fractures went' out the next day. Those who were bruised, as there was a great deal of duty to do, went out sooner than he could have wished. They went out by the fifth or sixth day afterwards ; they (lid not go out before; those whO had received fractures were still in the hospital. By Jurors.—lt certainly was not customary for men on the sick list to attend the parade. Sowerby was received the next day ; he did not know that his bone was broken, till he (wit ness) had particularly examined him. The thirty-six men were brought in as having been wounded at Cumberland-gate. He had it from the soldiers that they were hurt there ; he knew that they were out on service at Cumberland-gate. There were two lists kept ; one witness had, the other was in the pos session of the Adjutant. Those who were on witness's list, did not go on duty. Those with trivial bruises went on duty to a man sooner than he could have wished ; those who had received fractures were still in the hospital, and had not been on horse duty since ; the others, a s there were extra guards, went on ' duty in five or six days. Those who had received fractures were certainly not on duty on the day of the inspection. The Foreman inquired if one of the men had been injured by falling from his horse ? Mr. Adolphus asked how this witness could speak to that ? The Foreman thought it might as well be asked how he could speak to the other men who were brought in wounded ? The Coroner remarked, he had seen them when they came in. Mr. Adolphus said, they had refused to take hearsay evi dence, and were now asking for that which witness could only know from hearsay. He had no objection to this, provided he (Mr. Adolphus) was allowed to ask similar questions with re spect to the manner in which the other men came by their wounds. All that he desired was, that they might be enabled to play an equal game. The Foreman did not conceive the question which he had put to be improper, and had no objection to similar questions being put respecting the other persons being wounded. Mr. Adolphus had no objection, on that agreement, to the question being answered, he was not at all afraiciof the answer. It was then agreed that such questions might be put on both sides, and the examination was resumed. By Jurors—Witness understood that one of the men was in jured by his horse falling under him. Could not say whether he was one of the five that received fractures ; he was one of the 36 that were hurt. The four men with fractures were not pre sent at the inspection on the 21st ; as a medical man he did not think they could have been there with safety, and certainly could not have advised that they should attend. Here a stranger complained that he had not been admitted into the room, and had been denied that accommodation to which he conceived he was entitled. The Coroner and Jury inquired what he had to do in the room, and as it appeared that he had no business there, the officer was commended for having dune his duty, and the com plainant, who had been observed standing in the way by some of the Jury, was told he must expect no redress, and ought to be laughed at for the appeal which he thought it necessary to make. Samuel Bloxam, Veterinary Surgeon of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, examined by Mr. Adolphus —On the evening of the 14th he inspected the horses that returned from duty ; a great many were hurt, but not disabled from duty, and of. those he did not take cognizance. Two privates' horses and one officer's horse were still disabled from duty ; many were hurt—were cut with flints, but not disabled from duty ; they were merely dressed once, and then returned to duty one horse had the artery under the jaw divided ; that horse is now • fit for duty. By the Jurors—Made a memorandum to which he had re •ferred with the troop and the number but five minutes before he came. He would swear to the truth of it. One of the horses that had been hurt was injured by a fall. Ile had now two • troopers' horses and one officer's horse unfit for duty. One horse, professionally speaking, had received such an injury as he would sustain from a fall. Lieut. Hall's horse was now unfit for duty. He had been struck from behind; the other horse had been.in jured by some cutting instrument. The wound had divided the artery under the jaw ; it could not be deep because the jaw , bone interposed. It was three-quarters of an inch in length. The horse had lost a good deal of blood, he had no doubt, but it would not have bled to death, as after a certain time the arteries close. Did not know that a trumpeter's horse was brought to him ; no grey horse came under his inspection. Did not know the trumpeter that went out that day. rapt. Edward Pelham Brenthn examined by Mr. Adolphus. Lived at No. 4, Park-lane, Oxford-street. On the day of the funeral, he saw the procession at Cumberland-gate from the upper window of his own house. At about half-past eleven, it might be a little earlier, a Corporal's guard of Life Guards came into the Park, and stood opposite to Grosvenor-gate, with the horses' heads towards Kensington. They continued quietly in that situation until about a quarter past twelve, when he first perceived the Queen's funeral coming up the Park. It was opposite Lord Breadalbane's house when he first saw it. A great crowd followed up Park-lane ; about fifteen or twenty of them setting up a horrid yell; he particularly wished to ob serve it was not universal among them by any means ; crying, " You have murdered our Queen, you bloody Piccadilly but , chers." At the seine time a volley of stones was thrown by the same - persons, not by the crowd generally, at the Life Guards, woo rode by the side of the funeral, as well as at the corporal's guard opposite the gate, which fairly drove them from their position. They quietly marched over to the oppo site side of the road, then faced about, fronting Lord Dudley's house, and remained in that position, notwithstanding the vol lies of stones which continued to be thrown at them until the hearse passed between them and the mob, when they joined the procession, and went on towards Cumberland-gate, the mob still following them and pelting them with stones until he lost sight of the procession. At half -past twelve he heard firing, which continued, he thought, a minute and a half, perhaps two minutes ; and, he observed, " the Life Guards can stand it no longer." During the time he observed the conduct of the sol diers, he never saw men behave so coolly, so orderly, or so hu manely. _ _ By :Jurors—Was in the house all the time ; the corporal's guard kept its station, till dislodged in the manner he had de scribed by the furious attack of the mob. Mr. Blakie said he thought this gentleman might have been spared a great deal of trouble. Mr. Adolphus was quite of a contrary opinion. When he saw the same mob begin an attack on the military near Gros venor-gate, and follow it up, to Cumberland-gate, he considered his evidence of great importance, and thought the remark which had been made on it a very improper one. Could positively swear that' the Corporal's guard never changed their position from their coming before his house till they were dislodged in the manner he had stated, and he would give a reason for it. The attack on the corporal's guard only commenced with the mob that accompanied the funeral up the lane, consequently it did not last more than a minute or so. The hearse was travelling when it passed his house at a quick walk, occasionally standing still. Could not sweakthat he never saw it trot. The hors& heads about a quartel, of an hour before the Procession came up might:have _toe& Anged near the rails in "the P e rk, vLith theiheads tbwardALlkd itud ley's.hOnse. Witnesss.lioute was tv7ly opposite GroSvenbr .gate, nearly thevaidille okhe.liike* w'kn Piccadillhud Curti berland-gate. Be did not take upon himself to say what pass ed at Cumberland-gate. By Mr. Adolphus—The Riding-house was nearer Piccadilly than his house. Thought he first saw the Procession when it was between the Riding-house and Lord Breadalbane's. Did not know at what place the Procession came from Piccadilly to the Riding-house. By Jurors—Saw how it went toward Cumberland-gate ; could not undertake to swear that it galloped no part of that way, though this would have appeared very unusual ; he could only say that it was a quarter of an hour from his seeing the procession before the firing began; he could speak to. this, as he had his watch in his hand the greater part of the time. Colonel Cavendish examined by Mr. Adolphus—Attended the inspection of the Life Guards 'on the 21st of August, by some of the witnesses ; saw a person who gave his name to Mr. Birnie, or one of the Magistrates, as Spratt; he went down in front of the lines once, and on coming to the end of them, he .desired to go back again to look at sin - officer , whom he believed to be the man who shot Honey ; as ober witnesses had been allowed to do the same, he was also al: lowed to go down the first line again ; he stopped a t the second officer on the left hand, whose name was Walroud,' Sub-Lieutenant; after looking at him for a moment, 115 passed on to another ; he rather believed the next officer ; and stopped and looked at - him, walked past him, looked at him, and returned again; the name of that person was . Mr. Lock ; he thought he was the next -officer. to Lieute nant Walroud; lie passed by him again, with his eyes fixed on him, and then made a sort of motion with his hi- 1 which appeared to witness to indicate that lie could not quite make up his mind to swear to him, and stood at his right hand; Lieut. Gore was in the same line much lower down. Spratt did not stop at him to witness's recollection, he should rather say, certainly not. To the best of his recollection Spratt whom he (Colonel CavendiSh), accompanied the whole way, never took the slightest notice of Lieut. Gore; was well acquainted 'Nita the persons of Lieutenant Walroud and Core. Now Col.CaVendish you will not be offended at the qUestion I am about to ask—you are aware that I have a public duty te:. perform ; did you see paint or col ou r o n th e f aces e i t her o ', Lieut. Walroud or Lieutenant Gores.—Had I seen an y thing °' the kind' I should have thought it a shame to the R.egimeni he saw nothing like paint or colour laid on the face of either of them. On the Sunday after the Queen's funeral (the Iffth) , Lieutenant Gore was on the Parade. Witness marched ld' u with the rest to the Riding-House, where the church service i! performed. It was a few minutes after eleven o'clock that marched him off. Divine service would be over in about ha!' an hour. I did not see.hini any more that day. The King' 9 Guard was that day relieved by the Blues. That 17:',3 'serf soon after diVine service. Immediately after divine service rode towards the Horse Guards, and met those who had bee ° relieved. I met them at Carlton House Gardens. The Offic er ? of that Guard were Capt. Macneil, Lieut. Cox, and Sub-Lie , "' Hall. A Captain and two Subalterns form the usual nuinb cr of Officers for the King's Guard. By a Juror—Neither of the Officers I have mentioned, re" sembles Lieut. Gore. They are fresh coloured men. You 11° all seen Lieut. Gore, and can say whether lie is fresh coloured; The Witness Spratt is, 1 think, a little man, remarkable sallo w complexioned, and with dark hair and eyes. H e l oo ks as if '' e . had had the yellow jaundice. There was no change of office r ' on the day in question, when I met th e guar d s who had bee n relieved; I mean to say that Lieut. Gore was at Church °": the Sunday I have mentioned, sit the time the guard was re lieved lieved ; Lieutenant Hall is not at all lik e Lieutenant Gore ;; i is shorter. id e ate- Mr. Adolphus to the Jury—lf you like you may see nant Hall - Examination resumed by Jurors—Spratt did not say a"1,„ thing on the day of the inspection ; Lieut.

I said, you kn vi l l i Sir, I have a public duty to perform, and you, therefore, recce not be offended at-what 1 am going to ask. - I thought it rie... sary to preface an offensive question to an Officer by stcC thing in the shape of an apology, to shew the necessity o. question. I don't say that this apology is rendered sary by the Jury. It has become so in consequence evidence. • with A Juror—Certainly the question ought to have been pu some qualification.
