at him, not known tg it would be right to speak. A sol-
dier asked hint whin he meant by it, and he replied,
" That is the man who aimed and fired at the man at
Cumberland G rte" A gentleman in white trowsers (lie
believed Mr. Birtaie) came up, and asked him what he
had to say abou,. it? Wituess answered he had said all
he had to say, won which Mr. Birnie said be wished
hint to repeat i't, as he was a Magistrate, and he did so.
Mr. Birme thin desired him to go and put his hand on
the horses hcad, and he did so. lie was positively sure
that officer w.ts the same he saw fire near Cumberlaud
Gate. He was dressed the same, but he knew hint also
by his face. When witness pointed at him he t tut
white, and vrhen he touched the horse's head he turned
red and lambed out. 'rite soldiers asked him if he would
go round again, an I he declined, saying he was quite
satisfied, Arad 40 not wish to go round any snore. I
soldiers c,anetdarly wished him to go round a second
tune. They went very fast, so that he could not keep
up with them.
Mr. Dean was recalled.—He had inspected the regi-
ment. He saw the officers ansl soldiers, but they were
wrapped up its their cloaks, and their caps drawn over
their eyes in such a manner that he found it impossible
to identify any one Man.
C. Sprint recalled.—He inspected the regiment, and
on the left hand side its the centre lie saw two officers,
within ten or twelve 11101 of each other. Ile could not
tell which of these two was the man who tired at (iin-
berland Gate, but he was sure one of them was. They
were uncommonly alike. \t'hen he arrived at Me second
officer he thought it must be the first one, who had re-
moved himself from his place before him again. lle was
about to say the second one was the man, and he saw
hint turn pale, and his lips quivered. When he was
about to say, " you are the Mall," he saw the officers,
and he then felt a doubt whether he was right or not,
and would not speak.
By Mr. Waitinnan.—He saw a gentleman get out of
a gig this. morning, and go into the barracks in plain
clothes.—The moment he saw him, he exclaimed " that
is the man who shot Oney," and the gentleman turned
round and looked at him, but said siothiug. Witness
believes lie most have heard him.
A warns discussion here arose upon the obstructions
which, it was said,liad been offered to the course of
justice, and Mr. Waithinan suggestod that the Adjutant
should be summoned to produce the MOM'
The Foreman spoke in strong tennis of the obstructions
which they had met with, and expressed an Opinion that
the whole of the proceedings at the barracks were a farce.
a mere trick, to thwart them in their endeavours to arrive
at the truth. He theiefore would move " that the Ad.
jutanu be summoned to produce the roastar orderly book,
with the names of officers and men employed on the 14th
of August, and their difli.oent stations on that day."—
This motion was carried, and a summons was issued.
A discussion tuuk place as to whether Mr. Birnie and
Mr. S‘afford should be summoned or not. It was finally
decided that those gentlemen should be summoned this

day.
'The Court then adjourned until two o'clock the fol-
lowing day, at the New Inn, in, the Edgware-road.
FIFTH DAY.)
On IVccluesday at two o'clock the Coroner's Jury met
pursuant to adjournment at the New Inn, in the Edg-
ware-road.

Thomas Emans, Lieutenant and Adjutant of the Ist
regiment of life-guards, was then called. Witness knows
nothing witching or concerning the death of the deceased.
He had brought the roaster and orderly books of the
regiment, of the 14th and 2lst of the present month.—
He had no objection to produce these books. They did
not contain the different stations of the different detach-
ments out on the I4th of August.
A Juryman.—Have you any docutnent with the names
of the officers and men on duty with the Queen funeral
on that day ?
Witness—l have they are in the roaster. It also
coutains lthe order Irons Sir Robert Baker, for the at-
tendance of troops to assist hitu at Kensington on that
day?
A Juryman.---Are the names there ?—Yes.
How many officers and men were there 3—Fifty-six
men, a Captain, and two subalterns. Witness turned
out that number from the barracks, and they went to
join Sir Robert Baker. The officers of this detachment
were Captain Oakes, Lieutenants George Storey, and
Hall.
A Juryman asked if he was present at the inspection
of the regiment yesterday ? Ile said lie was, and that
he went round with the witnesses. There were many
more officers then present than were oil duty on the 14th
of August. Some 01 the witnesses pointed out some
officers, and their names were taken down by the
magistrates, and handed over to the commanding officer.
A Juryman asked the witness whether any of the offi-
cers who woe pointed out were on duty at the funeral
on the 14th. The witness objected to answer the question
with the impression, as he stated, that he would be
obliged to mention the names of the officers publicly,
amid he did not feel authorized to do so without the leave
of the commanding officer. Ile finally, however,
answered in the affirmative. He went un to state, that
the officers all kept their stations, and never removed
their stations for a moment.
Mr. Waithman.4 sin going to ask you a question
upon a subject which perhaps you are not actin tinted
with, hut it is very necessary you should be. Do you
know that several of the Jury were insulted by the sol-
diers, and that one wa, even struck in the mont:i by one
of I hem ?
Winn ss.-1 Ltiow nothing of it, and I hope no such
think took p;..e.e.
Mr.lyaitionati requested that the gentleman who
was a, tilted would state the circumstances of the
assault.
Mr. Blakey (a Julynian; stated, that he was the person
assaulted. He went, lii pursuance of what he conceived
to be his duty, with his btother jurors, to reqw,:,t ad-
mission, and while at the door Mt officer in plain clothes
