I saw the first shot fired, rather nearer to Tyburn-gate Shoots

to Cumberland-gate. There was sufficient lime after the

Mr. Btaki►, who was 'examining the witness, milted the
witness if he had beets an6utnssue to be shot at the time,
would be have considered that Ire had a right to be these ?
Mr. Adolphus ohjeeted to the question.
Mr Blakie asked, had the witue.o been in the situation of
She man who fell, would be have considered that be bad a
right to be there'

Mr. A.Volphria still objected.
Examination eoutineed.—l did not hear the Riot Ad ra.d.
I slid nut withdraw until the first pistol was tired. 1 did
not conthler snyrelf any longue safe in reinsuring there.
The firing did not commence till the last detachment was
coming thriugh. I did riot particularly observe au officer
with that detachment. I only saw the body at large. I
don't ktiow which of the soldors find; they were all in •
budy when they fired, beluw I did Hut observe any one
to particular fire. I dan't know Capt. Oakes personally,
only by sight. I did tint observe him with that detachment. If
I had seen him I should have known him. I tiou't know Lieu-
trnants Storey, Hall, and Terry; I know Lieut. Gore, but
did not lie hum fire on that .13y I don't ray that lie did not
fire. I saw • trumpeter riding alreut behind Lirut.Gore;
1 don't know his name.; I should riot know him if I were to
see him ; he appeared to be a young man, from 18 to 22.
I don't recollect seeing Lieut. Gore in conversation with the
trumpeter on that day. I was in the upper story; there
was a man with a haulier, whom I saw on the ground; 1 did
not see him struck; I think he got up and ran away, with
the harmer in his hand; I can't say with certainty; the
crowd was very great at the time; there we.e several people
struck with the atones as well as the soldiers, but 1 did out
sic any one cut.
By Mr. Spieer —lf all the others had ceased firing I must
bare uhrei vrd oue man firing.
By the Foreman-1 ears', say how the man wills the banner
got away. Tlw linpress. WI my mind is, that he was not
carried away. There wire atones thrown from the corner of
Cutubei lend street, but none frum the spot where the deceased
f, 11. I don't know that they were throwing stunts from the
corner of Cumberland-street when the tiring tommeered
they were throwing mere from the Park. I have resided off
and on at the Hyde Park Hotel these two years. I have nu
regular residence in the country. I have property in (lie
city and county of Bristol. I sin well known in Bristol.
'I he present Mayor of Bristol rents NM. • year of Inc. I
mrau the late Mayor, Hilhouac. If the people choose to shut
the gates, I don't know that they bad not • right to du it.
Mr. Adolphus objected to flee wieseoo.
Mr. Brown said that be knew that Hyde Park was held
for the benefit of the people.
Mr. Adolphus said, he knew she (velem. He ob d
moreover that oo part of the people bad a right In shut the
gates against the liege subjects of his Majesty, having to
pass through, and he mast say it was quite shocking to best
such language and principles propagmed by a Jary.
The Foreman said, that they bad been soured to sheckiag
language and principles.
Mr. Brown maintained that the Goverment bad no right
to shut up Hjele Part.

Mr. Adolphus said, that no part or the people could have
a right to do that which the Government bad no ►ight to do.
Examination resumed.—The beginning of She fray Wei on
the first attempt to shut the gales; the soldiers, who were
struggling with the people in open the gates, were pelted by
the snub; then oilier soldiers who were behind rode among
the people: wheu the solders lamed their backs sputa the
people they were pelted.

- By Mr. Hayward, attorney for the relations of the de-
ceased.—Certainly the man who fell win not throwing stouts
nor committing any improper act. From the lime the
horses' beads were turned by the soldiers till the time that
the man fell, was, I believe, about a minute or a minute and
a half.
By a Juror.—The hearse was opposite 248 when I saw the
first shots fired; between that time and when I saw the man
on the ground, there was about half a minute.
The witness signed his deposition.
The Jury then retired fur an hour.
Ors the return of the Jury, a few minutes after four
o'clock—

John Lloyd, of No. 19, Great Cumberland street, was
called in and sworn. Being examined by Mr. Adolphus, he
deposed at follows:-1 am not of any profession, but look
titer a house belonging to Lord Begot. On the day of the
Queen's funeral 1 was at a window of Lord Bagot's house,
nearly feciug Cumberland-gate. 1 saw about twelve of the
life guards there fur nearly All hour before the hearse came
up. During a part of that time, before the procession came
up, there was a good deal of growing and" pawing" amour
the people at the. withers. A little before the plot-mien
came up, there CAWe round by Park-lane a great mob of peo-
ple, who closed the gates. The hearse was then approaching
the gates. The soldiers then rushed up to the gates to open
them, and u most furious attack commenced upon the aol-
'hers with stones and such sot t of things hum all directions.
After a great !woggle the soldiers gut the gates open, but
they *ere shut again cootie or twice, and time were stoma
flying in all directions. I did nut perceive that in all this
time the soldiers ust J any inure strength thaw was necessary
to open the gates.
Mr. Blakie submitted t►at the last answer was mere mat-
ter of opinion, acd ►och evidence 13 it had already been
decided should out be received, he thertfixe thought it ought
not to be scceort d.

Me. Adolphus conteuded that the question he had put use
• very proper one.
The Curuuer thought it was Dot an uurcasunable question,
and it was therefore allured to stand.
The examination was then pursued by Mr. Adolphus.—
saw the soldiers trying to upeu the gates; acid I also saw
some persons assisting the soldiers, with short slit ks iu ales,.
whom l conceived to be police officers; some of
lions noglit have been undertakes's men. 1 saw several of
the soldiers struck with large stones, and pricks, mid brick-
bat.. 1 .aw erne or two of the soldier., lhu appeared, +Leis
struck, to be quite doubted *puu iii. it Moses, and one a lib his
cap (helmet) I. meked off The (soldiers endeavoured, a ben any
of the mob got near them, to intimidate them and drive
them bark by flourishing their swords. When the ...Adieu'
rode towards theta the mob would fall back, acid when
they were resuruisig towards their party, they would again
advance nod pelt theist ith stows, ge. er 04 as much violence

to say, the leader' heads were turned towards ht. Giles'a by
the 'nob. The Life Guard*, when they saw that, turned

Aster the hearse fame through the gate, there was nut ro
much throaing of stoner anti brick-bats as before, bat
still there was 110011. The principal part of the ►oldiers
were guar on before the hearse. From *bat 1 saw I really
considered the lives of the mister) to be quite ru consider-
able siAosivr. Up to that period I had nut heard any report
of fire-aims; 1 beard reports of fire-arum about five ur six,
or it might be *even miaow* afterward. i 1 did out see who

pieces 1 heard discharged, there might be 15 or 20.
