ceived the Life Guards had got over the obstruction in Edge.
a are-road ; they wete on the other side and forming in
Imes on the left by the toll-house. They were firing up in
the air as they fell in, in the direction of Bayswater.
By Jurors —I might have been five Of MI minntes at
Cumberland-gate before the hearse came up. I saw an
officer there aids the detachment of solders. After the
hearse had been turned, and stones had been thrown at the
soldiers, they begat' to use their so ords. I did nut bear Mr.
White tell the soldiers to desist. I did not hear him tell the
people to desist. I did not hear him ri ad the riot act. The
stones I saw thrown were prin.-ipally frum to cards Park-
lane, and the end of lumina land•street. I saw u genteel
person throw a stone, and knock a Life-guardsman oft* his
horse. I certainly consider it was my duty to have taken
that man into custody. But I must have lost my I.le if I
had attempted it. 1 saw a horse bleeding at Cumberland-
gate, but did nut see his throat cut. Ile was bleeding at the
throat. I saw nu oilier persons aith u knife, or other sharp
instruments, besides the soldiers. The hearse had not passed
alien the soldiers fi. ad iu the air. I have not been examined,
but I certainly told \I r. lk hi— what I knots of the matter.
1 did nut go volunt icily ; I wits s.ent to him. I was the only
man whu opeucd the gide, when they acre put to by the
people the first time, mid I leeike my WU' in wrenching
back. I did see it man shot. I did not see any ()dicer lire.
When I asked the soldiers to assi.t tar in opening the gate I
did not see any stones thrown. One soldier only assisted me;
he put his hand upon the gate while be was tin his horse. I
did not see any stnoes thruwu when the tiring coumtenced.—
I say aliether they had ceased to throw ; I bad
ceased to see theta. I cannot say whether the lives of the
soldiers were in danger when the firing coin clued. It had
begun before I came up, and continued afterwards. There
were four or live officers a ith me ut Cumberland-gate. I
was st nt to Mr. llenson by Mr. Eitnie. I was not examined
by Mr. !brine before I a ent to.'.lr. Ilenstm. lie tamely
directed me to go and tell a hat I knew. I was not selected
by Mr. BO nie ; I a eat to him voluntarily to tell him a hitt
I knew, because dime was a matt as hum I mat kid and
wanted to apprehend, and he told me to apprehend him
wherever I met him. I have nut beim e %WU ined at the bar-
racks ; I have not been inside the barracks this tit elvemouth.
I was out ex: nined at St. Ceurge's hospitals
In the course of the examination by the Jurors, Mr. Brown
observed, that the melt had as much right to shut the gates as
the peace ()deers hod to open teem.
Mr. Adolphus said, he lid no eight to let such an obsei-
vat ion drop. He (\lr. A.) should be ashamed of it.
Mr. lima lillll.i mind a little dirt front the learned
person. I rim used to the scurrilous gentleman.
Some cons e!sati iii took place as to the propriety of ad-
jouietug, it hcing nearly half past nine o'clock.
Mr. Adolphus said lie would be guided entirely by the
:kit, in that matter. lie hail live more witnesses to this past
or the case, whom he had selected hum about sixty, and
he was ready to go on or stop, as the gentlemen pleased.
It was finally agreed to adjourn till Friday, and eleven
o'clock on that day wits the hour fixed upon the Jury to
meet.
