away the ground to turn the hearse into the Edgeware
Rued. The crowd was great, and the Guards cleared
the street by chopping, ridding, and coiling. The pen.
pie then began to throw at the soldiers from bolts
sides of the way. I cannot say where they gut the
stones from. There had been no firing at that tinse.—

the Life Canards. He levelled his pistol down the street
towards St. Giles's. There were many people in the street
who could nut get out of Bits way. There might have been

shots through my hat, and one through my coat,—(This

through Cumberland Gate, the soldiers cleared the people
by cutting and chopping away wills their swords.
At this putt of the examination, Mr. Harmer stated that
he had many witnesses to exumiar, and suggested that it
might be as well for the Jury to adjourn. After the wit.
atesses had an opportunity of seeing the soldiers drawn
out, the Jury might resume their investigetiou witli inure
regularity and advantage.
The Jiffy approved of Mr. Harmer's suggestion, and
the Coroner adjourned the Myles' till Weduesday, at

dour-keeper at the Co'llitgli Theatre. Just before the
loitered came up from tile Park, the people closed the
gales. The hearse was in the Park, and ins soldiers
eiluleat mired to open the gate. l'ite lute ittards wished
to open them, the people to keep Oven' shut. I observed
the people lay head of the honer•' heads and tont them
towards Si. Giles's. The soldiers and undertaker's men
utrurd the horses again by orce towards Tyburn gate.
The soldiers beleat eel wi;11 the greatest forbearance. I
never saw them atteinin to cut any man. They drone
them back, awl thoiristied then swords to intimidate the
people.

fore the pnwessiim arrive,i.—Prior to the arrival of the
fitaeral„ a party I/I Gobbets, stationed outside Cumber•
land Gate, went within the gate. There were twelle
lite guards, and au officer. On the procession coming
no to the state the first object which struck any attention
was a mall ill black oit horseback at the gate. They
were dragging hint away from it, and the bridle of his
horse broken. lie was a slim young matt, and he rode
a Arey horse. I observed a soldier behind bins strike the
snail with the flat part of his sword. The conduct of
the people at that time was contitied to hissing and. how-
Mg. The gates were shut 3i.tanl immediately after the
man oil horseback got through. In the midst of this
the IV soldiers within the gate came out and began In
clear away the mob. I observed the.officer of the party
MIS the particular object of the popular fury. Ile re-
sented their et iduct more than the rest: several stones
struck him. Oil the street being somewhat cleared, the
first carriage passed throu2.ll, and Melt the hearse fol-
lowed. There was an elfin to turn the horses down
O‘tord-street, but the Life Guards turned them towards
Tyburn-gate. The first shot was through the iron rail-
ing, near Cunilierland-gate. The people were running
into the Park. I saw two or three other shots in the
direction of Oxford.street. The hearse proceeded up
h:dgware road. 1 saw a cessation of violence by the
snob, during lour minutes. The soldiers had gained
their polio, and 1 saw nothing to justify the firing. at
that moinclit. I think it to gin have been spared. The
soldiers fired promiscuously. They loaded mid fired
sviiliout taking aim. I saw no slims perpend'cular.
I ere Mr. Jackson, one of the Jury, begged to retire.
He accordingly w ithdrewood slier a lapse of ten minutes,
tile Cormier was nicotined that Mr. Jackson was so 1111.
well, that he could not attend any more that evening.
Mr. Ilariner then proposed, as they could not finish

where they might have the benefit of Mr. Jacksoit's

thee could have no verdict.

One n toe Jury stated that Mr Jack•on, who applied
to be excused on the first ,day Of the inquest, had nut

Mr. Harmer said, the Coroner would not take a ver-

William King sworn.—l re.ide at No. 45, Great Port.
land-street. I am ■ medical stollen,. I passed through
Cumber land gate title, the hearse. The Life Guards rode
tip, and wined the horses' heads towards Tyburn gate.—
A great number of Stoups were thrown at the time, and
likewise before the hearse came to the gate. the stones
were thrown at the soldiers, but they hit every body; one
strnek my hat, and two hit my arm. The rails on the
PAlk coping we►e pulled down by the people swinging on
them backwards and forwards. Several of the people
asked one and the other to get the iron rails out of the
coping and attack the Life Guards. They answered it
would not do. They could not get them from the coping.
They endeavoured to get out the iron rails, but did not
succeed. I saw a man throwing stones, and took hold of
his arm. I was struck by and two others. They said
I was a King's man. I saw two or three Police officers
with staffs, but they did not Intel fere. Tlie moues flew
in showers. Immediately before the firing and after the
firing stones were throws,.
The witness, on living cross-examined by Mr. Harmer,
said lie knew Mr. Bowman, a unethical student, owl should
give credit to any thing that gentleman said. 'lite man
whose arm lie seized had a stick in one hand, and a stone
in the other. .

.......
Here some person among the spectators exclaimed—
" Slia,nie ! Shame! "
Mr. Henson complained of this as indecent condnrt.
The ,ss could not WI whether any cause of irrita-
tion had been given the people previous to throwing or
stones. _ _

Mr. Jackson, one of the Jory.—l snppose you had a
great contest with the the., e prisons who heat sou fur
preVrllling the throwing of stones?
A. I had not. _ _ _

The witness admitted that the persona in Lord Itagot's
balcony could see what was passing better than himself.
Here the Jut y retired for a sli.ort time, and when they
mint-lied one of them complained of indecent ()Wert/Sl-
tious made by a person (not a Juror) near him. The per-
son was charged with saying the Jury had made tip their
minds, and of speaking disrespectfully of them.—He de-
Merl the imputation.
Lieutenant Edmund Parke, of the Royal !Tome Guards
Blue, deposed, that be received orders loom his command-
ing officer on the 14th inst. to see the piucessloa of the
Queen's funeral, and report the plogress. He met it
advancing at 150 yards distance from Cnmberland Gate.
lle did not go lip to it, but halted. Finding the mob press
tir him, and that lie had not a convenient situation to
observe what was going on, end report to the commanding
officer, lie rode up to Cumberland Gate. The people had
endeavoured to close the gates. He found the Life Guards
at the gate—they were doing their duty. He did not
know what their orders were. When the gates were
opened, he went through and halted in Cumberland-street.
Stones were then flying in all directions at the Life Guards.
The luirses in the hearse were turned to the east of Coin-
berbind Gate. The Life Guards went forward and extri-
cated them—great confusion ensued. The witness was in
regimentals. The people hooted him, but he did not mind
it. After the hearse got through the gate, lie rode down
Cumberland street, and through Bryetistone•street to get
round to the Edgware-road. That was the readiest way
to get there. He found impediments ensile by the people
iu Edgwoi e-roarl. A sink had been taken top. Stones
were thrown at that time. 'flue soldiers eft tick at the
people with the flat of the sword. The firing that he saw
was perpendicular. it was nut the practice in the Blues,
to which lie brlottged, to carry Ere-arms on such occasions.
He never was in any regiment but the Blues, and could
not say what was the practice of other regiments. The
period of time which elapsed between the throwing of
stones and ifiring, was from five to tett minutes.
Here the Coroner stated, that he had just received a
letter from a person requesting to be examined as a wit-
ness. He then read the following note
:
.t August 24, 1821.
" Sir,—Having been witness to the violence at Cumber-
land Gate on the day of the funeral oilier late Majesty, I
wait here for the purpose of stating to the Jury what I
know of that catastrophe, provided the Gentlemen of the
Jury should consider what I know worthy et their notice.
"THOMAS SCOW."

The Foreman of the Jnry, by consent of the Jurors, then
sent a message to the writer of the letter, stating, if hr
WOOlll wait, the Jury would hear him.
Thomas William Gordon, Coronet of the Illnes, swam.
—Deposed that he was out ditty with a detachment of hi.
regiment, on the 14th, attending her late Majesty's lone
rel. He saw the contention bet %ern the Lite Guards and
the people, and the various attempts to keep the gates
closed. The populace pelted the Soldier. with stones.—
The procession was delayed some time, bat afterwards
proceeded on its route. There NOS an interval of eight
or ten minutes between the first attack of the people on
the soldiers and the firing. Several of thr Lite Guard.
et e snuck by the stones. Witness conceived they be-
haved with great forbearance.
Croi,s examined by Mr. Harmer.—There were 48 men
in his detachment. Capt. Bouverie eii 11111 l landed it, and
two Lieutenants. Witness was junior officer. Ile AL.
nut aware that Sir Robert Baler directed the procession
to go through the city. Dues not know Sir It. Baker.—
Was not aware the procession was conducted by two ma.
gisitates. The contention at the gate was between the
people and the Life Guards. Did nut see the origin ut
the Coutes,. _

Mr. Henson then addressed the Jury, and maid that this
was the last Witness lie intended to call. He had a list in
hit hand of 64 witnesses, but he would not call
lhrm—
bnt if the Jury thought it necessary they might examine
them.

to continent on the evidence, when Mr. Hellion interrupted
him, and said lie could not permit ham to imminent oti the

MON DAY. ♦UGUST 27.

The delicacy observed by the liberal part of tl.e
Press, has been abused by the Ministerial Journals,
and the silence which they had imposed upon them-
selves, lest any thing they said, might influence the
minds of the Jurors upon the Inquests now being
held, on the bodies of the two men who were so
wantonly shot by the soldiers, during the proces, ion
of her Majesty's funeral, has been interpreted as a
tacit approval of such barbarity. It becomes, there-
fore, an imperative duty to speak out on an occa-
sion, that has only been surpassed by the ever-me-
morable butcheries of the 16th of August. The
question appears to be, whether or not, the soldiery
were justified in their violence, and on this point
we may confidently refer to the evidence given
before the two Juries, which goes to the establish-
ment of the fact, that not a stone was thrown 'till
after the commencement of violence by Cie soldiers,
by cutting away with their broad-swords, and even
then, that it was not of an important nature, till
their fair-faced Commander began to level his wan-
ton balls at those it was his duty to protect—but
we have higher authority for our opinion than
appearances—we have the evidence of " Thomas
Emans, Lieutenant and Adjutant of the guilty
regiment" a man whom all our readers will believe
