ADJOURNEb INQUEST

• THIRD DAY.

r‘
"1"s "14" WIDNISIDAY, AUGUST 22.
I'%. Coroarl'a Inquest reassembled this day at three
o'clock.
Mr. Little, one of Ike Jurors, was encased from attending
on account of indisposition.
Mr. Higgs then read to the Jury a letter be had received
from Mr. Hohhouse yesterday morning at ten o'clock (which
has been already published), the purport of which was to in-
form the Coroner that the regiment of life guards could mut
be drawn ono till two o'clock, instead of half-past eleven
o'clock, as IN fare stated.

Joseph Hawkesworth, who was examined on Monday last,
was then examined. He said, I weeded yesterday at the
bat racks at ten o'clock, with a ticket of admission, but did
nut get in till past two o'clock. I examined the regiment
very particularly, but I could not di.tinctly point any one
out. There were a great number drawn out; they were tour
deep. The peace officer asked in my pieseuce if the whole
regiment was drawu up, and the officer answered yes.
Mr. Harmer desired Mr. Joseph Young might be called,
which was accordingly done, but lie did out answer. Mr.
Harmer then applied to the Coroner for a warrant to sppre-
bend him. which was prepared accordingly.
William Spratt was then called and examined—l gave my
testintutty on Monday last. I attended yesterday at the liar-
tacks. I wrut into the barracks in the forenoon, and it
was nearly flask when I came out. They kept a sentry over
us; we staid in a kin:l of kitchen. I saw the officer who
shut Honey, he passed the window three times; but they
shut the door. One of the witnesses went away, he could
sot stay any longer. I saw the officer who shut Honey, and
said so to several persoiis near me. I could nut identify
him though I saw him, but there was another an very like
that I could nut swear to him. I accused the officer with
being the mau, but he went into the stable and 11411 nothing.
I did out are Ulf soldiers till nearly 'clock. Every itme
the officer went by he went quickly ; he must have hewed me
accuse him with it. This was before they were drawn out.
By the Coroner—How could yon know that the man you
ran pass the stable was oot the other man whom you after-
wards saw that was so like him ?
Witness-1 could swear positively to hint. Melt I saw
the first in the ranks 1 thought it was the male, but I had •
little doubt, sod she• I went down to the other, about ten
men off, I thought it wan the same. 1 looked and saw the
other in his place. Both bail a little mustachios, perhaps
about • night's growth, and one was painted, I could swear.
_ The last Mill I went up to I stood five minutes, sad I told
Sir Rubes t Baker that I was in doubt, and could nut swear
to the man.

Examined by Mr. Harmer—! noticed the Life Guards
tits the 14th, they had out mustachio.* ; they were
some of them monied in their cloaks, said their bat ties or
Ws* clasps left only their eyes and tome ; they had
we, cloaks on the 141 h; it was impossible fur any oue to
identify diem; it was all a &bulling business •Itogetber.
Eicansiin 61 by Mr. Henaou—Moue of the Life Guards whom
I saw on the 14th had their eloaki on.
Von can't say which of the two officers who were so much
alike it was who passed the room ?-1 am certain he war the
man who shut Hooey. About every seventh or eighth men
had cloaks on, anti I thought they had theta ow for the par-
pose of disguise; 1 don't know the name of either of the

A Juryman suggested the necessity of examining some of
tie officers. •

Mr. Harmer adopting the integration, required for the
porpoise of justice the Adjutant to untied with the muster-
roll of the detachment on duty on that day, and the orderly
book of the same day.
The Coroner made. out the summons accordingly, re-
quiring the attendance of Adjutant Banana, at five o'clock
this day, which was dispatched immediately by the beadle.
Timothy Norris examined.-1 have tent been eusmined
before. I live at No. 14, Holles.street, Chtre-maiket, and
am a carpenter ; I was near Cumberland gate on the morn-
ing of the 14th; 1 wort before the prorestries, and was
abreast of the first mourning couch. There was a stoppage
and • contest between the people mid the military opening
and shutting the gates. There was • strong contest. A
man rude up on horseback and demanded to know who had
beets drawing blood. I saw blood on the pavement. An
officer of the life guards desired him to go away, but he re-
fused. I was within two or three yards of the spot. A
soldier then chopped at him seems, times, and the man was
wounded ; I saw the blood (lowing from his hand. I did sot
see the man lift his hand nimblet the soldiers, all that be
did was to require who shed the Wool I can't say I s►ould
know that officer. 1 saw no pesre officer near. The man
was dragged away to the sight by the people, he was as the
horse •ppareusly insensible. The procession then passed
through the gate, and the soldiers drew • line across the
street to prevent the funeral going down Osford.strert.
They were then pelted with mud, stones, or any thing they
could get. This was before there was say bring. I was on
the left hand side of the gateway. I saw some brick-
bats ur large stones thrown from the Park. I did
nut see any stones strike the soldiers ; they were as
likely to strike the people as the soldiers. As soon
ea the soldiers found this they turned sharp round
iu d.iferent directions, and began to cut away at the
people with their swords, and is about half • minute
aftetwards a pistol was fired, sod firing continued some
time afterwaids. One of the soldiers knocked my hat off
with the fist part of his sword. After seven ur eight shots
Honey was shot. The soldiers rink on the find paths, and
drove the people from thence and from the wails. 1 did not
see George Francis fall. The people were endeavouring to
get away is all directions at the tine the firing began. I
I heard nu command riven by the military officers—
] beard um peace officer admonish the people to retire. I re-
mained after I was struck till the procession moved on again.
After the protessiuo muted sun. the tiring ceased, mid all was
quiet. Nut • word was spoken, hut the people cheerio; the
Blues. The man on horseback was tut before any stones
were thrown. It was that exasperated the people, and they
then threw stoma. Nothing had beau dune but shistlitig
the gate.

Examined by Mr. Henson.—The struggle at the gale was
merely a snuggle with the hands. The borne which the
Man rude was nut a grey, it was a light brown.
By a Juryman —I heals! no Rout Act reed, and no ex-
hortation In the people to disperse till th. y gut to ;be lop of
Toltenham coui•road, about au hour and a half or more
after the firing.
Mr. Harmer said, lie bad as more wiiiirmes at fitments
but he earned tie more to anise, and the Cuioner might,
if he pleased, gia no with any witnesses on the other mile.
Mr. Hessen sail, be should rather object to heeaking in
upon the evidence, and wished all Mr. Harmer's wartime.
to be examined tiro.

Mr. Harmer audit wax for the Jury to decide whether
they would hear the ',ldeate which he rhould have to lay
Inture thew. It was mut too Lae for than to inquire at
any period Arline giving their verdict.
The Jury Sleets adjourned fur a quarter of an hour. On

Juhu Field, baker, living at No. 28, New-road, Sloane-
street, Chelsea, was satins.
The Braille who had beim dispatched to aammon the Ad-
jotatit mow relented, sod reported that he had serval it ou
biro personally to t►e Park.
John Field examined.-1 was near Cumberland-gate on the
miming of the 14th when the pr./maws. arrived at the gala.
I was tie the Park almost 100 yards tiff. The proceisiiins stops
at Cumberlaud.gate; the people were pulling the railing
down. I did dot get out of the Park till the procession had
gist up Bilgware• road. I lward firiog, but could tout see
from ululate it proceeded. There vim continued firiag. I
saw nit stops s throw. till the firiug coniateumil, when I
saw the people go behind the brick-wall of the Park and
throw stones; I dial know u here they got them from, they
rtoopid to the ground to park item up. At this time part
of she Peak wall had beets pulled down by the people, but
nu atoms could be got from there us account of dm foot sol-
diers, who were there. I got tutu due Park, but bear-
hog a mats was ►hut, I went back. 1 went up and saw the

Examined by Mr. freasolt.-1 did not assist in pulling
the railings doe,.. 'Had stones been thrown at the soldiers
from Cumberland-gate I could not have seen them.
By Mr. Harmer.--.-Tbe deceased turned about and groaned
very much, but said nothing.
Richard Buckle Toast sworn and examined-1 am staying
at the Hyde Park Hotel; I have no resiolence, no settled
home at all ; my property is at Bristol, and a direction would
find me there; my last settled residence was at Westbury, in
Gloucestershire, that was five years ego; I hate an office,
to receive my rents in Cannons Marsh, in the parish of St.
Angustioe, Bristol; Richard Hathaway is my clerk's name.
I was on the 14th at the Hyde Park Hotel, which is nearly
opposite Cumberland-gate; I was at a whitlow in the third
floor, in • direct line, I should think that it was 80 yards
(runs Cumberland-gate; it comm.iods • good view; 1 was
there before the procession arrived; I übserred the gates
closed; at that time the hearse was beltway between Gros-
venor-gate sad Cumberland-gale; the people bad closed the
gates; there were about thirteen soldiers stationed near the
gate • they were nut soldiers of the procession, they had
passed through h. fore the gate* bad cloned. The soldiers in
Oxford-street attempted to epee the gate, but the people re-
sisted, and pelted them with atones; that was before-the
hearse came up. The troops got the gate partly open, sud
it was clewed again by the people; they succeeded in getting
the gate open, but were then pelted by the people from
Oxford-street, and from the wall adjuiniug the gate; there
was throwing from • parcel of small humors or Wee. near
the gate, on which marry people stood, and from which they
Bung bricks, hieing broke up wart of the wall. The Itemise
came up on the green of the Park, at 100111 C distance from
the raillng. After the gates were opened, a burly of life
guards passed through; they were mbead of the procession,
but can't say of they belonged to it. It was this body of
guards that advanced to clear Oxford-street, by riding back-
wards and forwards. the people in sloe street and on the
wall kept thruwimg .loom.. the whole of the time. The
soldier, did nothing at all that I saw, except ride ansoog
the people. A body of the Blues then came rip herons
the hearse, and went through the gate towards Edgware.
rued • the hearse followed end came up into the middle of
Oxford-street; the people laid hold of the horses' heads and
turned the leaders up Oxford-street; the life guards theu
came and drove the people from the horses; while doing so
tire hearse mid the guards were 'hider • complete shower of
brickbats and stones. The soldiers had previously struck
the people with their swords ; they flouriodwd their swords
about ; it is difficult to say how they struck. The hearse
was then moved to Edgware-road, and stood nearly opposite
to No. 247. Before the guards flourished their swords I
saw several soldiers shuck; that war at the first pelting
while the gates were being opened. The firing commenced
while the hearse stood opposite No. 247 (the Ditchers of
Alsrlborungh's); I think it was ten minutes between the
first stone and the firing, but heforie the soldiers fired the
people also pelted from the inside uf the Park as well as from
the outside. There was some twenty-five or thirty yards of
the iron prolirog broken down, part of the fence of the Park;
it was broken down by the people ; I mold not ay whether
it was dorm by accident or nut ; the people from there still
continued the pelting; the soldiers commenced firing and
tired in the air; I saw the dash go np perperolicalarly, as
many as seven or eight fires; I saw • man full ; the nearest
soldier was then opposite the Dudes, of Martboruugh's;
The troops appeared to me suit to wish to interfere with the
people at the first till the pelting of the stones As the
'whinged' the stones mahout d the pace of the troops also
increased. I saw Dote soldier struck ty with a brick-
bat. From what I caw I moreidered those troops in immi-
nent danger. I saw the soldiers drop their heads to avoid
the stones.

Examieed by Mr. Harmer.—Mr. Francis Humbert and •
wailer were in my room at the lime; the waiter was there
the whole of the time. The first shots were fired perpen-
dicularly, and others were fired hoeizuntally ; there was a
great crowd of people, mad wog that were loot acting hos-
tilely; dotlafgen•rda wide. Imo the creed i• • trot ; they rods
Inwards the place where the stones were thrown ; if they bad
walked they would bees had their brats knocked out ; t►e
people on the pavement threw storms; they might be tha
nine stones that were throw• from the Park wall; I t►irk
I have seen soldiers before ride amongst a crosd sod not
back their horses; before the hearse got out of the Park
stones were thrown; I saw so person that had been struck
by the soldiers before stones were thrown; I will not swear
that nobody was struck; I think belfries 40 and 60 shots
were fired, judging from hearing; I think between sin aid
tight shots were Led perpendicularly. After Hooey (di I
withdrew from the window, fur I was restful of being shot ;
abort • quarter of a minute after the perpendicular shots it
wasiltat Honey fell; I saw no peace officers employed nor
say Rint Art read; I don'i know Sir Robert Baker.
By Mr. Hensoo—lf the whole of the shuts fired had been
directed horizontally, must nut more persons bevebeen hurt
Mr. Harmer objected that the witness could sot answer
the question, unless be knew all that were hurt.
In answer to a Jurymart—Tbe first stools which were
thrown were thrown by ;brawls unary opposite my window.
In answer to Mr. Harmer—The people were Armin as low
as my house and beyond it, by lbe soldiers. I did not see or
hear any windows broken. The stones from the Park went
towards the Duchess of Marlborough's.

By Mr. Harmer—l ituu't recollect seeing any Gentleman
across the gate before the procession passed through.
hi milieu to a question by the Jury—l cutout say bow
many stones were thrown from the hips of the small houses in
the Park. The wittier who was struck with a brick was
to the eastward of Etiniberlasolgiste. As soon u the wit-
mess had signed his deposition be *Wolter.
Thomas Emans, Lieutenant end Adjutant of the Ist regi-
ment of life guards was then sworn and unantineil.—He
staled, t►at on the summing of the 14th instant, about
half-pad ten o'clock, the Commandiog °Meet received a kil-

honourable and liplike a ituWier.
Sy Mr. Henson—le there any utiseerpartienlarly like any

"Owen—The slimmers were chew, the mew, aad if they
pointed out any body, my orders were to put dom the acme.

. . .
•
The young man would not let Mr. Biraie puldutra hi. name;
why, therefore, should I give his name here ?
Mr. Hamner—Wan it one of the three officers who were
out with the detachment un duty on she 14th ? —I east answer
that at owe. It was Nat owe of those three officer's • I don't
recollect any other of the officers very like that ocer ; the
person be stopt at is an officer, but be was sot out with
the detschmeet ; I canaot charge my memory with any
others that the witness looked at.

The witness Sprott was permitted by the Coroner to put
any questitie to Adjutant Ermine, which was likely to brinit
to his recollection who the other officers were that be (W.
Sprott) had looked at.
Mr. Sprott then asked him if he did nut recollect be
(Sprat') having looked very aiteistivrly at an officer who was
eight or tea torn from the fiat be had stopped at'--The wit-
ness dud out recollect ikat.

Mr. Harmer—You recollected the offieer who the witness

Melt or ten men?—Thor depruda on the strength of the
spiadrun.
_ .

The witness (Hr. Sprat!) was about to put anollirr
question—

Mr. Henson objected that the quest Ma ought to be put
by the Coroner.
The Coroner put the question, why peel of the men wore
cloaks when the witness'', saw them at the barracks?—That
was fully explained ; part of them were cloaked un that day.
By a J uryntse.—Were they cloaked when they went from
the barracks? Their orders were to cloak when they gut to
their posts. I understood some did out cloak, but of
course I can't say how many.
Coroner fauggestrd by Mr. Sprott)-14 as officer allowed
Iwo horses?—The Commanding Officer gave orders that
every man and officer should turn out on the same horse as on
that day ; but it is impossible fur me' to say, going round 270
mew, that they were all mounted as on that day. A Captain
is allowed Iwo horses, and • Field Officer three.
The witness then signed his deposition, and withdrew.
David Beaman, of No. 9, Harley-street, Cavendish.
square, medical student of Al. George's Hospital, deposed,
that on Tuesday the 14th inst, he was near Cumberland.
Rate at the time the Queen's Nomad was passing through the
Park ;he passed through thegase before the pruces ; one
side of the gale was closed, he ►tood near it, and save the
Life Guards endeavoirring to open it; • man stood against
the gate and prevented the soldiers from °peeing it; there
were several men about the gate, bet bepereeived the one
he before mentioned in particular ; an offiemof the Life Gaterds
came up and spoke to she man, on which be looked in his fate,
and the officer struck at him several times with his sword.
The arms of the man were folded, stud he was Inning against
the gate. He, the witness, was not near enough to them to
say whether the office► struck the man with the flat part of
his sword rir nut ; he saw no blood. He passed on and did
nut know what became of the man ; he, the witness, crossed
over to the curlier of Gr. sit Cumberland strict, and there
saw a man with a paving-stone in his hand going to throw
at the military; he riquested that he would nut, and the
man went to an iron puss, broke the stone, and th ew a
piece of it. abort the mar of the witneas's bard, as the officer
who had shriek the man at the gate; it went in the direc-
tion of the officer, passed very near him, and might have bit
his boot fur what be knew. There were other stones flying
as the time towards the soldiers; they came Grim the side
of she position he Wee standing in: He did not think the
hearse was then through she gale ; he did not see which way
the heads of the horses drawing the hearse were turned
when they came through the gate. He saw no reason fur
the man with the paving atone throwing at the soldiers.
le sinister lissome wormier* put by a Juryman be said, if
hie head bad been cut by es* of the soldiers ►e would not
Moe throws a stone at ban, or if ►e saw • friend of his cut
by them he would not.

The Juryman She. said, be was willing to admit that ►e
shield if he ►rerirrd the provocation.
This examination of the wieners is chief then eustissed.
He heard a person on horseback rail oat, "close the gate.,"
before the beanie came through ; lie did not know who that
person wan ; be (ebe witness) ran up Caunireetsuil•street,em
account of seeisig persons its red who preceded the hearse
turn up towards Edgware rued, and he had' susse Airsick is
a house in Edgware-road whom he wished to join.
Os his eions-esansinatios by Mr. Harmer—He said the

lest time he saw the prom...origa was from St. George's
Hoop Hal, sad be afterwards saw part of it pass through
Grommet-gate. The first disturbance which excited his
attention was the dispute about closing Camberland-gate;
She mom at the gate had his fume folded, and looked np
rather impudently at the cater of the life guards after be
bad spokes to him; the witness was so way alarmed at the
blows the officer gave the man with his cutlass, as he
thought be was only duiug his duty by compelling the
gates to br opened. He would not swear that the blows
given by the officer to the luau were mere slaps of the
bread aide of his sword, or that they were nut hard
blowy or that they did out produce blood. He did not
hear as exclamation of " Shame!" from the people when the
officer was striking the man, but he heard such an excision.
ties immediately after as he was crussisog the road ; he colold
nut say that It came from many ewers; ibe ►lone be list saw
thrown at the military was part of that which the man broke
on the Mon past, and that was aft. r he heard the cry of
"Shame!" He did nut hear the cry of "bleeder!" lie
sue uotbiag to induce a emu to throw a stogie, as he thought
the officer was only doing what be ought to have done. lie
did Nut ace any civil officer or a constable with a staff, speak
to the maw with his back to the gate before be was struck
by the officer 4f the life guards.
Mr. Heedless, oe t►is witness withdrawing. observed, that
his other witnesses were attetdittg the ether lemma, and it
mwild be impoisible that he could produce them to be ex-
amined that mailing.
The Coroner observed, he nos most anxious to get through
the inquiry, as soon as the jostle* of the cam would permit ;
but if the Leareed Gentleman could not produce the wit-
nesses, fur the remise he had stated, be supposed the Joey
mould have so olsjrctiota to adjourn till to-marrow.
Mr. Harmer said, if his (.earned Fiieud had many wit-
messes whose evidence would be similar to the last he bed
examined, ►e (Mr. Harmer) would like to call them us be-
half of the relatives of the deceased.

The Ingots( was them adjourned at ■ quarter before
eight o'clock, to ire o'clock so.usorruer (this day).

31r. Wailliman ►aid, that the proposed practice Iwo ir-v.e

A Juryman observed, that Mr. Pooh?, 14 P4CNCI. could sot
influence the proceedings, as they were all made kuuoa

The Coroner said, that he was very sorry that Ibey we:e

Mr. Henson thought lint out of delicacy the witness

A Juryman said that there were different senses of delicacy,
mid that of the witness might ...duce him to stay.
Mr. Pooh expressed a desire t.. he present while Mr. B:..

The Coroner recommeniled the witaies to withdraw, both
to regaid to delicacy and the propriety of the proceeding;,
as he might have to appear in souther place.
Mr. Wailima.' thought that 'hese was every reason foe the

not like a Court of criminal accusation. He was althorn, d
of offering to curvet:llhr of a professional men ;
