Hy Mr. Hiameaou—Witucts could ant tell whether Sir R.

Morse and foot guards told ',Soria, when be inquired by
whose aulberßy they acted, that they acted uuder the orders
of Sir R. Baker.

Curarriri-diSis they did ; they acted under his orders as a
Magistrate, "rhea • Magistrate was necessary. But I

"the usual way," adds d the words, " through St. James's-
street and Pall-mall," or 'theater he asked, " which is the
best ?" sod wituess aoswervd " through Si. James's-street

By Mr. Hineson—That con . firsts took place between

any roomer orders were received by Sir K. Baker to emote
him to thauge the route.
By Mr. Sheriff Waithmau—Did the people skew any irri-

Mr. Sheriff Wuithinau reverting to the subject of the
admission of the witnesses to see the Life Guards paraded,
fur the purpose of emibling them to identify the individual
who fired .he pistol, some conversation ensued on the sub-
jict between the Sheriff, Mr. Hinestm, the Coroner, cad
some of the Jury, the result of which was, an arrangement
that tickets should be given by the Coroner to such wit.

publie-
house, near the Foot Guards barracks, at Knightsbridge,
to-morrow (this day), at one o'clock.
The Feat witness called and sworn was Mr. Josiah Deane,
of No. 2, Bin place, Tottenhant.court-road, Saco-draper,
who was proceeding to relate with much mammies, some
irrelevant eircumstasces of the early part of the proeress of
the procession, when the Coroner said he hail better begin
ilk the arrival in Piccadilly; to which Mr. Sheriff Moth-
man sod the Jury expressed their assent.
The witures then rammed :—The procession proceeded

hearse was gone through the inik, lie turned back and
found it to be the case, and went into the Park himself, and
passed by the side of the funeral procession. When be Lad

bad knocked down an elderly man with his horse; two others
followed and knocked down two more persons in the same
manlier; one of those persons seemed to be much butt
about the knee. Witness gallupped forward and overtook the
aohliers at the gate,when they turned round and endeavoured
to prevent him frogs passing ; be got through the gate into Ox-
ford.street, and was surprised to ere a young officer riding on
the causeway, sad cutting at the people with his sword. The

to Min, There was no occasion for all that violence; it was
Sin thrlitering people uselessly." The officer replied, • D—n

this," lifting his sword, sod Shea gallopped towards Cumber-
land-gale. IVitness thought the people were attempting to

The Grower sow read a letter whieh be had receiver.
from Mr. Hohhoose, he sewer to use which Whorl written
to that Grath oast. 1t stated, that I. answer Se his letter,
stating that the Jury had resolved to alter.' the parading of
the brat regiment of Life Guards, at ekven o'clock to mor-
row, as • matter of right, tad not of favour, he was desired
by Lord Bathurst to inform him, that as it was claimed as
a matter of right, sad as the Jury had no melt richt, no di-
rectious would he given that they should be adniitsed. It
also Mated that it would be inemoresieol for the regiment to
be paraded at the hour which wait aseutiourd in his former
letter, lead that orders had therefore hee• given that it
should be paraded et two o'clock, for the purpose of being
sees by the witnesses.
The reading of this letter elicited a strong serration among
the levy:
The Penman said, it appeared to him that the Jury certainly
had a right to his present. The purpose fur which the regi-
meat waste be paraded before the witaenies, was to identify
the individual who fired the pistol, and the Jury ought to
be prevent when that weediest. Betides., if the witnesses were
tube admitted alone, or singly, as had been proposed,
what wearily was there against iatimidaiirm or other
seethed@ to prevent their pointing out the prom.
One of the Jury said, it was evident that every possible
kaperliment was, sad would be 'throws is She way of this
• Inquest, as had been the case at Maschester.
Another Juryman, aid, some warmth, exclaimed, that it
was disgraceful to any man to make each an allusiou. The
fact was, that they hail claimed as a right what was purely
a matter of favour, and what would have trees' readily grant-
ed Ovens as such; sail had he bees so applied to, he would
have returned the same sumer.
Another herniate said hut thought it disgraceful to' the
last speaker to say what be bed; and hr did not believe that
he would we have replied to such an application.
A fourth Juryman, with some emphasis, expressed his in-
dignation at the underhand osaanes in which the opplientioo
iu the same of the Jury hail been made without their appro-
bellow, and, indeed, without their keowledge.
The Cormier said, he had wrilteadiee letter in consequence

said, they bad sot said they would sot receive it

-e we to know who is the party idesitilied, or olie-

Mr. Sheriff Waithinate WA, AO his part Is liweglit the
Jury hnd 4. clear right to bie preistst. Bet gam was a civil
and au uncivil way (detaining a right : sod so pat forward
in ass uncivil way a claim where a right had sat bees pee-
vicinity dimmed, was to invite a coolest.
Our of the Jury said he had before stated it as his opi-
-1 Picot that having received a courtesy from Governtoest is
the grunting of their request, that the regiment should be
draws sop fur the purpose of befog sees by the witnesses,
it was also a matter of courtesy that the Jury should be
allowed to be present. Some persons floated otherwise,
and it bed been resolved by right voles against levees that
it was a wiener of right. The Coroner therefore wrote
accordingly, nut/ he was right in so doing.—(S. vend voice%
" Aye! do get him out of it If you can.")—He spoke his
niihisssed opinion. He laid aside opera this occasion slt
piny feeling. He coneirlered the Coroner as an et dal
• tnesseuger between the king and the man who was dead..—
Laughlev)—astil he thought he was quite rigLt to inform
the Government of all that passed.
The Coroner said, when he had read she letter informing
them that the regiment would be paraded for the mowse of
nilmitting the with to ideality the party, it was pro-
posed that the Jury should also attend. Upon that a dis-
cussion had arisen as to the right, upon which the question
had been put, and he had written a letter agreeably to what
he iiiideistouil to hive been their derision. althutigh he cer-
tainly hail omitted to submit his letter to them fur their
approval.
Mr. Sheriff Waitlinuto said it was always his wish to
walk upright, if he could avoid crawling eta all fours. He
thin fore suggested that a letter should now be written on
She part of it.e Jury to state that they -had no intention to
give soy offence by the use of the exprtseion of their right.
A Juror said he had understood the Learned Gentleman
opposite to say that no objection would be mad* to the Jury
being admitted ; and he had supposed it to be already ender-
Mood that they had nothiug more to du than* to walk ores to
the barracks, and that nu difficulty would be met with
Mr. Hineson said he had only stated that hie clients
would have no objection; hut they could nut commatol au
entrance for the Jury.
Several of the Jury then said that they would not allow
the ends of justice to he detested by the obstacles which
were thus thrown in the way. They would have Use Colonel,
and adjutant; and all the officers of Ike regiment summoned
to attend. If they preferred being brought to that room,
rather than admit the Jury to the parade of the regiment in
barracks, it would be to their owe inconveuietare. If the
Jury were not admitted, It would be to nu purpose fur the
witnesses to go.
The Foreman then said, himself and another of the Jury
would retire and draw up a letter on the subject for tbs con-
sideration of the Jury.
A Juryman —" I hope you do not mean to say that the
Jury are sorry fur what they have said concerning the right
voices " No, no.")
Another Juryman.—" I am sorry the Coroner has (toile
what tie hash but I told him Ilse other day Ise would sot lee
able to please alt."
Another Juryman.—" Fry lathing about that ; don't blow
hot and cold with the sane breath!

Aunther Jurymsu to She FOM11311." Write what you
please, it is sure to be right."
After a pause of some minutes the Foreman returned with
a paper, which be gave to the Comfier, who read nearly as
follows
