Georg! Gordon Goon, sworn—l live in Charlton-street,
Fitzroy-square; lam a tlue. I kuow something relative to
the death of Honey ; I was there preseut, the day of the proper
shwa of the Queer's (enrol. I was not five minutes ablest from
her Majority% slate carriage the whole of the day. 1 was silting
ins the front spring when the carriage pawed the gate; 1 was
with it from half-past eight is the morning till five in the
evening. As we came from Hyde Park-coiner towards Cum-
berlaadqrate, the first thing I saw was two of the life guards-
men ordered by • serjeaut to clear the gate • according to
orders they went to the gate, and when they rode up to the
gate they knocked down several people ar they approached
the gate; then the cries of " Sliarnr," and " Murderers r
were shouted out directly. When the pruceosian come to.
wards the gate they stopped about tour minutes, and then the
fray began short spelling the gates, said I saw two peace
officers standing with Osseo batons, endeavouring to out o ru
the gates, and they opened the gates. A burly of the life
guardsmen came maniac up Park.lane. Titer the life
guardsmen were riding abort keeping the crowd Corn the
gate. The gate was thoroeghly opened, and the pra:emion
came through, and was hatted about sixteen yards aftrr
through the gale. When thex were halted there was a
shower of stones and brickbats came towards the proces.ion
from the top of Oxford.strret. Then I saw WI officer be-
' longing to the life guards ride up as hard no hr could dote
and fire. I saw a person fall when he fired. Brfare he rode

was halted there. At the time of see tog Ike deer-used fall
another shower of stones came film near to Tyburn tonsi-

impossible to tell from whence they came. Timis 1 law the
life guardsmen form a sort of a .isle iu the street; after
forming a circle there was an officer cam• and cave them

men that were bellied, and the Oxford sllea, came up; they
all rode away together as fast as they could ride down

hearse after they got through Consberlaud-gate. mod serid
down Edgware-road. I dual knew that the Wilmer 1 saw
fire came through the Park with the detachment. That was
the first pistol 1 saw-fired. 1 saw a mats fall shoot very sigh
the top of Edgware...road, towards the Lull gate; it was on
the aide towards the Park.

(It was now perceived that this evidence referred to the
death of Francis, and was not relesant to the subject of this
Inquest.] Al the lime the pistol was fired Ike mob woe out
immediately in the act of throwing stones, but they had
bees. They had ceased about a minute before the proces-
lion came through. About two Ministry elapsed between the
procession coming through and the filing. I saw no Magis-
trate or peace officer warning the people to disperse. I saw
a trumpeter there that day—l don't know his name; he ap-
peared to be a youngish sort of • man ; I did nut observe
him at any time in coo lion with the officer ; I saw a
good many *tunes thrown; I don't know it there i■ much

multitude cut or injured by the stones; I came all II Kb

By Mr. Adolphus-1 did not at any time see any persons
pulling down part of the Palk-wall; I did not see asy per-
sons eadeavouriwg to pull down the railings; I did mut
any persons breaking paving.mossea, fur the purpose of
throwing them; I heard no exelamatimi of " Pirruddly
bialchers!” I did hear crier of a :Bordering the Qseeii!" at
Cumberland-gat., all the way along through Knightsbridge,
•nd the Park. When I was at Grosvenor-gate I bad nu op-
portunity of seeing what was dune in Park-lane ; when the
soldiers went forward the state carnage was alesut half way
between Grosvenor and Cumberland-gates. I could not are
what was dune with the party of soldiers to Palk-lane; I ant
