sent. The ollicer, Lient. Gore—he was in fact sub-
lieutenant—gave the orders for the clearing away of the
people. They were not ordered to use violence; he had
said they were obliged to use violence in their endea-
vours to clear away the people. He did not see any
magistrate; he did not know the magistrates.
The Coroner's clerk then read his minutes over to the
witness.
'f he Coroner next said, that he had received a letter
front Col. Lygon, dated Kitialusbride-barracks„ stating
that Corporal Haywood and Trumpeter Farmer had been
served with summonses, and would attend ; but that
the officers were absent. They would be served, and he
doubted not that they would be in attendance when the
jitrynext assembled.
Mr. Heraion said, he could undertake positively to
promise that these would be in attendance when the
jury next assembled.
John Farm :r, trumpeter, was then sworn and exa-
mined. He did not know what trumpeter was on duty
at Cumberland-gate. He did not see the party go out,
our come in. He was not there; he did not see who
was there. The youngest trumpeter in the troop was
aged at • he was named Frederick Salamon ; that was,
he was thel youngest appointment. There was no trum-
peter named Bishop. There was a learner of that name,
but he had never known that person to go out with the
troop. Bishop was not at the battle of Waterloo. He
was about 18 years of age. The lad Bishop was not
employed to do duty at the barracks—but he was not
siositively acquainted with this fact. He did not know
who was Inc orderly corporal on the 14th inst.
The minutes having been read offer to the witness, he
signed the document and withdrew.
William King, No. 18, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's
Inn Fields, sworn —He saw a young gentleman, whom
he afterwards understood to be an officer, and his horse's
head was towards Cumberland-gate. This officer quite
wantonly, as witness conceived, for every thing was per-
fectly quiet, and i.o stones were throwing at the time, he
presented his pistol over his bridle arm towards the peos
hle. When witness saw the pistol presented he changed
is position one pace, when at the same instant the de-
ceased fell. Ile stood so close to Honey that he did not
know whether the contents of the pistol were intended
for himself or the deceased. He saw the Bash, and he
was so close to the persou who fired that he had every
()poor:unity of reccanizing his features as well as the pis-
tol with which he had fired. When he had discharged
the pistol he rode immediately amongst the soldiers. He
was a very young man, and wore no cloak aim mantle.
Witness retreated and went down Oxford-street. When
the firing had ceased he came up again and saw the sante
officer arranged in Cumberland-street, inside the trum-
peter, in the rank. He saw him conversing with the
trumpeter and a private of the corps in the rank on the
near side, whom he addressed with great familiarity, and
occasionally laughing. He had since had an oppOrtunity
of seeing the same officer at the Horse Guards. Last
Sur.day week he law him there, when the Life Guards
were relieved by the Blues. He does not know his name,
but unless he was disguised he should be able to recog-
nise his person any where. It was between eleven and
twelve o'clock on Sunday week when he saw him.
Corporal Thomas Coulson, of theist regiment of Life
Guards, was next called in and sworn. He belonged to
Captain M'Neale's troop. He knows nothing touching
and concerning 'the death of Richard Honey. He was
orderly corporal on the 14th August. Capt. M•Neale's
troop is Troop C. He does not know the names of the
men who were commanded by Lieut. Gore on that day.
lie does not know the men. He does not know all the
men of his troop personally. Ile received orders to send
a certain number of men out on that day, and he sent
the first he saw ; in the hurry he could not tell who they
were exactly. It was his duty to see whether the men
were present on the parade every evening. He believes
some of the melt were wounded on the 14th; but he
believes they were all present on the next eveuing pa-
rade. He is not sure upon that point. He could give
the names if be was at home.
In answer to some further questions, he expressed
himself willing to give every assistance he could to the
Jury, and was directed to attend on Friday.
'I he Coroner said, he understood Mr. Ex-Sheriff Par-
kins and his servant were waiting to be examined.—
The Ex-Sheriff was then called.
Joseph Wilfred Parkins, of in, Bridge-street, Black-
friars, sworn. The procession went mitt with great so-
lemony and order until it arrived at Kensington turn-
pike-gate, near the church. When I arrived at Church-
lane, I tound the place blocked nip with dung-carts and
waggons, and a great concourse of people standing round
and upon them, who cheered me, and exclainied—"We
will go to the Coy." Lord Hood, who was very near,
spoke to me on the impediment and obstruction of the
funeral, and suggested the propriety of sending a mes-
sage to Lord Liverpool, to communicate to him the
awkward state of die affair, and the utter impossibility
of getting up Church-lane. I was requested to bear that
information to Lord Liverpool, o hers refusing so to do,
A gentleman offering to accompanying me, I proceeded
to Lord Liverpool's, where I met Mr. Wilmot, who, I
think, said. " Lord Liverpool is not witliiii." 1 them
informed hint (lie knew who I was well) I had come
from Keir-iiigton Church, where the funeral processions
was totally stopped, and that it was hardly impossible
to proceed through Church-lace; if they did iwrsist
in going that way many lives would inevitably be lost ;
and that those who persisted in it would have to answer
for the same. Mr. Wilmot said lie would communicate
that information to lend Liverpool. The reniatniog
part of Mr. Parkiiis's evidence, was wholly without in-
terest or novelty.
Joseph Thous servant to Mr. Parkins, was next called,
and corroborated his master's testimony in its leading
particulars,
Thomas NVilson was sworn.—His evidence in sub-
stance was the same as has already been before our
readers from,other witnesses.
The Court then adjourned till two o'clock on Friday.
