witaess retired, telling the magistrate be supposed there
was no further occasion for him.
Coroner.— Were any of the men that had been on duty
absent from the muster that was made for the inspectiee of
the a itnesses ?
Witness.—None, to toy knowledge, except those who were
wounded.
The wetness said, he did not see the men or horses who
were wounded; the number was reported by the proper
officers. lie did not 'bee any of the snub cut. The first
tiring proceeded from the head of his ono detachment, close
to hint. He never told Sir It. Baker he. was a illiog to go
with the procession the way he should choose.
When Captain Oakes's evidence 'sod been read ov. r,
Juror wished to know what became of Lieut. S.urcy, from
the time that he went to the I iorse Guards?

Capt. Oakes said, he did not relit, n until after the prores.
siou had entered into the Park.

A Juror.—llid you consider Lieutenant Gore under your
command.

Capt. Oakes.—l had not the particular command of that
detachment, but when I came to ehere the &Mel 'llt
was, if I had given any word of col 1111 l and, of course Lieut.
Gore and his taco would hare obeyed it.
A Juror.—Did the firing commence with Mr. Gore's de-
tachment

Captain Oakes.—Certninly not.
A Juror.—Did you give ortlert to fire ?
Captain Oakes.—l hare ahead), declined to answer that
question.

The Coroner.—!Te cannot hr obliged In answer loch
question, mid wiling should he inferred from it one way or
the other.

Mr. Adulphur.—lf he is the person who gave the order he
would, by answering, implicate himself; and if he told that
any other peison gave the older, ha would equAlly subject
himself ton criniinul prosecution. No man beMrea Spanish
Inquisition would answer cur h a que.tion.
The Coroner.—Certuinly not. He cannot be bound to
Sumer such a question.
A Juror.— Were you mounded on this occasion ?
Witness.—l was not wounded, but I was severely struck
several times. I received a blow from one brick-bat which
must have broken my head if I had not a helmet on.
A Juror —You have sold, Captain Oakes, that you Ind
other orders besides those which you received from Sir R.
Baker ?

Capt. Oakes.—l had other orders.
Juror.-- Were those orders to set in opposition to the civil
power J..

Mr. Adolphus.—lt is impossible that any such orders could
be given or acted upon. If the military had acted in oppo•
Sidon to the civil power, they would have been guilty of ac.
lull rebellion.

The Coroner.—l suppose Capt. Oakes had orders from
g• v.:rumen' as to the route of course; but he did not con-
duct the procession That was the province of the herald
and not of the inditary. Captain Oakes then signed his
deposition.
Lieut. Gore was the next sworn. The Coroner mild, Mr.
Gore, you are not by law bound to answer any question that
nay Criminate yourself.
Mr. Gore then said, 1 do not know any thing touching
and concerning the death of Richard Hooey. I was in
duty on the 1 nth of Anent. I took a station at Cumber-
land Gate. I had thirteen men under my command.
There were twelve privates and a trumpeter ; I mean to
include two corporals in that imether. I did tint wear a
cloak; I was accontred in field-day order; it is quite op-
tional on such occasions fur the officers whether they will
take pistols or not. 1 was not provided with pistols on the
lath of August. It was a short time after I came to Cum-
berland Gate that I discovered I had no pistols. I their
discovered also that I had no cloak. I discovered that I
had neither cloak nor pistols at the same time. The ghee-
rag is so large that it is necessary to lift it lip before I can
discover whether my cloak is there or not, if it is rolled
np properly. I did remark, when I discovered it, that
my servant had sent me out without cloak or pistols. I
never had carried pistols before that day. I might hive
had them in the riding school. I have been discharged
from the riding school about fifteen months. I certainly
consider myself entitled to carry pistols. I do not consider
my servant was censurable for not furnishing me wills
pistols. I felt no disappointment; I merely stated the
fact. I did nut borrow a pistol on that day. I do not
know the uamrs of the corporals with me on that day,
neither do 1 know the names oldie men. I beg to observe
in explanation, that the detachment was ordered out in a
very hurried manner from the barracks, and therefore I
had no opportunity of observing them. I cannot tell what
the age ot the trumpeter was I cannot tell whether his
age was 20 or I forget whether I had any conversa-
tion with the tinmpeter on that day. I might have hail
two cr three words with hint, but no particular conversa-
tion. He rode after ille—not along side. I did not borrow
a cloak on that day. I did nut see any Mali in my detach-
ment offer toe the loan of a pistol on that day. I believe
one did offer me the loan of* cloak. I can't say whether
I was at the head of the detachment when we left the
barrack§ or not. I wile sometimes before and sometimes
behind it. Ido not think the trnmpeter rode along side
()flue then. I believe lie did on our return. I do lint
recollect hearing a cry (tom the people of " there go the
two butchers together." I was present when the regiment
was inspected. I was then mounted on the same horse as
on the 14th. I was iu Unnilierland-sweet after the pro-
cession had passed into the Edgware-road, at the latter
part of the dey. Do not know at what time. I have no re-
collection how long it was after the procession passed. I
was dismissed show two holes and a half atter the proces-
sion passed—atter it was all over. I was not actually iu
Cimiberlaild-street myself, except to speak to Captain
o.ikes. 1 will swear that I Was nut there with my party
and the trumpeter by me side. To the best of my ecal-
leetion I hail no couvervatiou with any of Captain (lake's
party in C bet land street. Several of his men returned
%vomited in the surgrun's relnt. I saw the helmet sof
nue of diem Lenten in; I nican I saw it after it was beaten
in. I was inlornied that one of• the horses had ifs throat
cut. I was pen hips go or 2 11111' utei at Comber' old gate
