THE TIIEA TR E.-The new Comedy of Rise
and Fall was repeated last night at the Hay-
market Theatre, and may now be ranked among
the stock pieces of the Summer Season. The
admirable farce of The Mogul Tale, written by
the late Mrs. Triclinium, followed, and it is but
fair to say is nearly as well represented as when
it originally appeared. It is, however, under-
stood, that in honour to the memory of the la-
mented Author, her first dramatic work, I'll
Tell You What," and which was first represent-
ed on the Haymarket Stage, is also soon to be
brought forward. This is a clue tribute to de-
parted genius and worth. In justice to this
Theatre, it ought to be mentioned, that a very
great improvement in ventilation has taken place.
There is now a free atmosphere, so well regu-
lated that the opening of the box doors does not
occasion any unpleasant draught of air, as a mo-
derate and comfortable warmth is diffused
throughout the house. Dr. MEYLER, whose new
system of ventilation has been very popular in Ire-
land, and who introduced it with great success
last season at Covent-Garden Theatre, is said to
tee the Gentleman who has been equally success-
ful in its application to that of the Haymarket.

shire.

HER MAJESTY'S COFFIN.—ft is a singular
circumstance that the plate prepared, and en-
graved with a Latin inscription, according to the
order of the Home Department, has not been
put on her MAJESTY'S coffin. On Mr. HiEno-
Nymous getting out of the carriage in which he
rode, at Chelmsford, it was observed that he
carried the plate of the coffin in his hands. By

inquiry we learn that the plate and inscription
so prepared do not accord with the wishes of her
MAJESTY'S Executors and friends, and that it is
intended to place on the coffin another plate dif-
ferently inscribed, on the arrival of the body at
Brunswick.

The Ball-room at Marlborough was decorated
with singular elegance, by the ladies of that
town, for the ball given in honour of the Corona-
tion. Al! the distinguished families of the vici-
nity, the Marquis of AILESEvr.r, and the Officers
of the Wiltshire Militia, were present.
The new beautiful eight-oared boat, built by
the Officers of the Duke of York's Regiment, is
the most dashing thing of the kind now on the
river. The most expert rowers at present are said
to be Lord SALTOUN, Colonel BROOK, COL BAR-
CLAY, - Colonel IllooiNsoN, Colonel GRANT,
Captain DOUGLAS, Captain SIMPSON, and Captain
LONG.

Lord STAmronn has entered his bay colt by
Rubens, Lord DERBY his chesnut filly by Milo,
and Lord GROSVENOR his Thunderbolt out of La-
dora, to start for the Guy Stakes at Warwick,
to which there are nine subscribers of 50 guineas
each.

There has within these last few days been an
increase of mould in the Kentish hop plantations ;
.but the plants are coming fast into beer, and with
very few exceptions look favourably.
EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE 0 GRATITUDE
AND FIDELITY.—A private soldier of the 91st re-
giment, about fifteen y ears ago, finding himself mor-
tally wounded in an engagement with the enemy,
requested his comrade, who was standing near him,
to convey his all, which consisted of a few pounds
sterling, and some other articles in clothing, to a
person who had formerly been his comrade in the
Argyleshire militia, and to whom he considered
himself under strong obligations of gratitude. This
disinterested soldier, faithful to the instructions of
his dying friend, only a few weeks ago, while his
regiment was passing through Kilmarnock, had
the good fortune to fall in with the object of
his search, to whom he generously conveyed over
every fraction of the bequest, and which his
most urgent necessities had never once suffered

him to encroach upon during the long period of
fifteen years.

INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY,

WHO WAS SHOT NEAR CUMBERLAND GATE ON

71;EiiDAY:

The above Inquest was held yesterday, at
three o'clock, at No. 4, Edgware-read, wliere a
large room was provided, there being no room
sufficiently large at the General,
.ToWnshend
public-house, Oxford-street, where the body now
lies. Previous to the Coroner .(TirokAs
Srirt-
LING, Esq.) taking his seat, Mr. Alderman Waith-
man requested that some Gentleman among the
Reporters would take the proceedings, not with
a mere view to newspaper publication, but with
such accuracy as might enable the friends of the
deceased to avail themselves of it, should it ap-
pear advisable to have recourse to a Court of
Justice, in the event of a verdict of Wilful Mur-
der.--;Troclamation being made in the usual form,
Mr. Green was appointed foreman, when the Jury
withdrew to view the body. 'The following- is a
list of the Jury :
ThomassCafe James Soper James Blakie
Joseph Spicer John Cumming Charles Brown
green_, Foreman William Mower Win. Swan
Thomas Walker Lork George Kidd
David Harris 'rhos, Silverwood Thomas Gall.
The Jury having- been sworn, proceeded to
the General Town-sliend,- where the body lay,
and having viewed it, 4 h s placed- on the table,
the body was.opened fircrfessional gentle-
man in attendance, wino discovered that the ball
had entered his left breast through the heart, and
the right lobe of the lungs between the third
and fourth ribs on the right side, under the, corn.
mon integuments behind the _ bone of, the rigid
arm, just below the shotilder, where the ball was
extracted. The Jury. then.Jetired, and the-in-
vestigation was proceeded in.
The firfit witness examined was Thomas Gould-.
Lives at Lambeth ; no business ; is on half pay
in the Ordnance department as a conductor of
stores ; was standing about a yard from the
deceased at the moment he Was shot, between
Cumberland-street and Old Quebec-street, about
half-past twelve o'clock yesterday. At that
time there was continual firing ,below the gate ;
there were a great-number of persons assembled
to view the procession ,11 her Majesty's funeral ;
had seen nothing of the procession previous to its
passing the gate ; heard :a firing in the direction
of the gate ; it commenced immediately after the
hearse passed through it; previous to that there
was a:party of Life Guards stationed at the gate.
There seemed to be a disposition to riot on the
part of the people, who. flung bricks which
irritated the soldiery. This took place at the
same moment that the soldiers were firing ; could
not swear which first commenced, or what caused
the fray. The soldiers preceded the hearse .;
was in Oxford-street at the time when the sol-
dier's came up ; they were firing ; there were 20
or 30 shots fired ; did not reckon them ; was
employed carrying away the body of the deceased:
the people continued throwing all the time ;
thinks there was half a troop of horse ; could
form no judgment of the numbers of people
present, they covered a rastspaoe of groupd :
sow the deceased the nion-w4ft attic firing ;he
was lying on his back; this was the first time he
saw him; don't know by whom he was shot ; he
and three or four persons took him up and carried
him to Mr. Lightfoot's, the surgeon ; his coat
was buttoned, and they thought he was in a fit ;
on opening his coat perceived that he. was
wounded in the breast ; he was not quite dead
at that time, but he never spoke afterwards.
In reply to questions put by Alderman Wraith-
main ;—observed no order given to the people to
disperse ; heard no Riot Act read ; was not sure
that a Magistrate was present ; there was no
throwing from the quarter 'in which the deceased
stood ; thinks it was a promiscuous shot;
.the
soldiers were eighty yards off; there was no aim.
taken ; the soldiers were .parading up and down
before the. firing ; they were using their swords
in the usual way, flourishing them, to frighten the
people; the firing commenced one moment after
the hearse passed; the stones were thrown from
the opposite side, none were thrown from where
he stood ; the people about him were peaceable ;
he stood a little behind the deceased, who was
standing in the road. Witness was standing on
the foot-path. There was no -nore than half a
dozen men riding up and down before the arriva

of the hearse ;cannot say whether it was the
men stationed at Cumberland-gate, or the sol-
diers who accompanied the hearse, that fired ;
their uniform was red. The brick-bats were
thrown before the firing commenced. There
might have been soldiers nearer to him than 60
or SO yards, without his perceiving them.
Mr. W. Titterton, surgeon, of Wilmington-
square, Spafields, was passing at the time when
the deceased was being conveyed to Mr. Light-
foot's, and examined him. kit srgi totally insen-
sible, and after three or four heavy groans, ex-
pired. It was a gun-shot wound under the left
breast that occasioned his death. The ball had
passed through the heart to the right side behind
the shoulder. The witness then described, in
nearly the same terms as the fiirmer, the situa-
tion and firing of the soldiers upon the crowd.
Question by Mr. Sheriff Waithman.—Could
a ball, fired a distance of 100 yards, have passed-
through the body in the way you describe ?—Yes.
Mr. J. 11. Pope, a surgeon, residing in Somer-
set-street, Portman-square, deposed, he assisted
Ito open the body of the deceased. The ball had
passed as described by the last witness ; but it
had in his opinion never been fired from a dis-
tance of 100 yards, or if it had, the charge of
powder I.great.
Mr. mustSheriffhadY- taken some
c epart in the conversation, addressed the Coroner,
hlaVv_e kt iT)ex:'srilA eNx, lsysbi vc,, e
and said, that it might seem pertinacious in him
by taking any part in the proceedings, but as lie
had a public duty to perform, he attended in his.
official capacity to assist in the investigation of
the death of the unfortunate man ; he was
strengthened in this by a notification which he
had received that the brother of the deceased was
here, and he requested him (Alderman Waith-
man) to be his advocate.
Edward Bailey deposed, that he lived at 272,
Holborn ; he was in the Park on Tuesday at the
time the Queen's funeral was passing; he was near
Cumberland-gate ; observed some stones thrown _

at the soldiers in the Park, though he did not see
who threw them ; witness was then riding in the
Park, but not in the procession ; rode abreast
with a serjeant in the Guards-, when the latter
desired two privates who were with him to walk
quietly forward ; instead of doing that the privates
rode on violently, and pressed down two of the
people ;. a cry of shame was then raised, and wit-
ness saw some stones thrown; could not recollect
whether the Guards were dressed in red or blue,
but the impression upon his mind was, that they
were red ; the men. in the- crowd were knocked
down by the horses ; the serjeaut-had his sword
drawn, and brandished it over his head, pointing
to the rest of the troop to follow ; witness then
saw the Guards gallopping in all directions to-
wards Oxford-street ; witness then endeavoured
to get away,- and rode out by the first foot turn-
ing ,
into Park-lane ; he saw no one wounded ; at
the time tile Inen were• knocked. down the
troops did not surround, the. hearse: ; the Park
railing was not pulled down until afterwards ; at
thattime witness. did not observe much crowd
he heard some firing but did not see•it ; • this
was after .the soldiers had left the Park ; could
not say whether all the soldiers 'were out of the
Park '.when the. firing commenced; - certainly
they must have-be.en.-Out almostsimthediately:af-
terwards•- witness did not see tray disnositton,sto
riot on the.part of the people s- every one seemed
to feel' that it Was a funeral, and not a political
procession ; the Officer who desired the soldiers
to advance, gave no order: to them to trample
upon the people; the men 'fell immediately, upon
the first bound of the horses; could not tell
whether they were-much injured.; he saw stones
flying in the air as soon as the men were knocked
down, and he supposed that they were thrown in
consequence ; witness saw no Officer,.except the
petty officer already mentioned.
A third. Medical Gentleman, who was in wait-
ing, was here discharged froth further attendance,
the- Coroner observing, that no doubt could exist
as to the cause of the deceased's:death.
John Hathorne deposed, that he resides at No. 11, Crown-
street, Soho, and is by trade a basket-maker e he was present
yesterday, during the procession ; he joined it at Kensington,
and accompanied it throiigh the Park ; before the hearse had
passed through Cumberland-;ate,_ nothing occurred to attract
witness's attention ; witness was before the procession during its
progress through th Park, and went trough the gate at the same
time as the hearse e after the hearse had gone through the gate,
he saw sonic stones thrown in Oxford-street, and he observed'one
of the Oxford Blues to fall'; the bricks were thrown into - the
middle of the road in the direction leading to the soldiers ;
nesa. then got across the road, and in a few minutes the firieg
commenced ; the firing was in the direction of Tyburn-gate ;
when witness saw the hearse pass through the gate, it went along
the Edgeware-road, and he observed no attempt to -turn it
another way ; before the firing commenced he sail, the soldiers
brandish their swords ; that was after the stones had been
thrown : witness saw the deceased lying on the ;round, about
three or four yards distant from'himself. He did not see him
fall, nor did he see any soldier near.—The deceased appeared
as if he was in a fit. Witness felt no apprehension for his safety,
as he imagined that the soldiers only fired blank cartridges. .Ire
assisted to remove the deceased to an apothecary's shop. The
deceased never spoke afterwards. Witness did not hear the
Riot Act read ; he did not see the deceased throw any thing
before he was shot ; the soldiers were about one hundred yards
from witness ; witness thoughtlhat the dragoon whom he had
mentioned as having seen fall, fat from accident ; he could not
say whether he was much hurt ; witness saw that there-was a
stoppage of the hearse, but could not tell how it:was occasioned.
Simon Berkely resides at 183 nigh and is by
trade-a shoe-meeker
; he left Ilolborn a quarter past 'Leese! and
joined tbs: precession tit flammistamith ; itt Kensingten sonic
interruption took place from the road having been blocked up
with carts and waggons: The procession halted- there about an
hour and a half, and then proceeded without interruption to
Kensington-gates ; witness heard nothing of the Riot Act being
read afliensington ; he knew what the Riot Act was ; saw no
disposition to riot on the part of the people, when they were
allowed. to proceed. At Kensington-gates there was another
stoppage; when the procession had reached Hyde Park corner
it halted for, about a quarter of an hour; it was again blocked
up, and the procession was obliged to go througli the Park.
Witness accompanied it ; it went at a trot a part of the way ;
witness got into Park-lane as soon as he could, and reached
Oxford-street by that route; he reached Cumberland-gate be-
fore the procession ; when there, he saw a gentleman who had
got amongst the soldiers, and the soldiers seized his Male and
broke it ; the next thing which he saw was the people opening
the gate, and the soldiers brandishing their swords ; he could
not say whether they cut any body; the soldiers turned their
horses' heads in the direction of Bayswater; witness - then saw
brickbats thrown, and immediately afterwardS a firing took
place ; witness stood within half a yard of the deceased when he
fell ; lie was standing a yard or two off the pavement, when a
shot hit him and he instantly fell ; he never spoke after ; at that
part the crowd was not thick ; there was no riot, or any dispo-
sition to commit violence ; he thought that the distance be-
tween 'himself and the soldiers was above 100 yards • he was
sure that at the time when the deceased fell brickbats were
thrown at the soldiers : witness saw no soldiers near the de-
ceased at the time he fell: the soldiers were 'standing still at
the time, it was a party of the Life Guards; he did not hear
the Riot Act read, nor did he see any Magistrate; he had no
-conversation with the deceased previous to the fatal accident;
nor did he see any one struck by the brickbats. He supposed
that the reason why the brickbats were thrown was, the behavi-
our of the soldiers in cutting the reins of a Gentleman's horse
who rode in amongst them. Did not know who the Gent:email
was; he had followed the procession from Brandenburghallousca
'When the procession had passed Hyde Park in the direction of
the city, the hearse was turned into the Park. The Gentleman'
who had rode amongst the soldiers,
from
done. so with an inten
'don of preventing the hearse from passing through the gate.
The, people cried out " Shame," when the Soldiers broke the
reins of the gentleman's horse. The people were exasperated;
the soldiers tearned the hearse back ; and after that brandished
their swords and fired upon the people.
John .packet deposed, that he resides in Charles-street,
Bloomsbury. He joined the funeral. procesaion at Knights-
bridge, and accOnmanied it to Piccadilly. Witness (lid not;
observe any person stop the procession, but he saw the hearse
turn through die Par's, and by that means a great part of the
procession in ativarxe was shut out ; the procession then, passed
through the Park at a quick pace • he saw the soldiers' in the
park; saw brickbats-thrown at - the soldiers, which apparently
exasperated the soldiers ; shortly after he hears a firing, but
imagined it. Was only blank cartridges ; witness received a cut
on the hat from the sword of an officer, and afterwards was cut
on the coat by a private ; witness was not far distant from the
deceased when he fell ; the officer whom witness observed was a
young man, slight in appearance, apparently of the age of 28
year:;, anti he thought that he should know him again ; he save
that officer present a pistol in the direction of the deceased ; a
flash followed, and the man dropped • witness did not hear any
other pistol report until a minute afterwards; witness thought
at the moment that he knew the Officer, and believed him to
be a Mr. White, the son of a brewer of Exeter; that Gentle-
man, however, is since dead -; the resemblance, however, made
witness take more notice of the Officer ; he had a perfect
recollection of his features, and if he saw him again in
uniform he believed that he should know him ; witness did
not consider that there', was any. danger until he saw
the young Officer with the pistol in his hand • the deceas-
ed was caught as he fell, before he reached the ground ;
witness was certain that he saw the Officer point his pistol
in the direction where the deceased fell, and that he heard
no pistol report follow until a minute Ifterwards t the Offi-
cer then rode round into the Park, and 'struck his sword
several times against the iro palliseades ; witness., from the
place where he stood, did not hear the Riot Act read.—[Wit-
nese here produced his hat, and pointed to the place where- it
had been cut, as he alleged, by the sword of the officer.}—Saw
brickbats flying in different directions, but none from the place
where the deceased stood ; he saw no Civil Magistrate 'warning
the people of their danger ; no one cautioning die soldiers and
endeavouring to restrain them ; before the brickbats were
thrown the soldiers had their swords drawn, and might be said
to be brandishing them ; he saw some stones thrown out of
Park-lane into the Park 'before the swords were brandished.

A.Juryman here asked—in plain tereas,.did the affray com-
mence on the pArt 9f the military or the populace ?
- Mr. Waithman objected to the question, as irregular, and it
was not pressed:
Witness resumes--The distance from Park-lane, where the
stones were thrown, to the part where the procession passed,
was great; too great, in his opmion, for a stone to read►.
Waithman sold, that it had happened curiously enough

that he had been in his carriage the Whole of the time at the
place of which the witness teas now speaking, and certainly the
distance was too great for stones to reach.
Witness—Some of the stones passed over the soldiers.
Coroner—Then certainly the distance was not too great for
a stone to reach.
lire Wsithman etplained, that in consequence of the Me-
quality of Park-lame, the stones might pass over the soldiers at
one end of the Park and not reach them in another.
Witness—The soldiers wore red costa. The (Aker whom he
saw tire the pistol stood at the dead well intervening between
the iron pallisades, with his face in the direction of Tyburn gate.
;is the evidence was reading over to the witness, • Alr. Sheriff
Waithman observed, that it was not precisely what had- been
given. The witness then repeated that he saw the young officer
turn round and point his pistol towards the place where the
deceased stood. He saw the pistol flash,, and the man fall im-
mediately after, but he did not hear the report for some seconds.
When his hat was cut he gave no provocation, nor did any one
near him ; he stood on the railings near the dead wall, by Ty-
btim gate.
The Cortmern said, in alltzeion to the errors in the deposi.
tion, that while gentlemen continued to put many questions, it
wouldp be impossible for the clerk to take them down.
' Mr. Sheriff Waithman said he'd be shot through the beett
as the poor deceased was, even sitting at 'a distant table, if he
could nut write it down more correctly. With regard to recog-
nisingthe officer, the whole: regiment should be drawn out, and
then it would be for the man to say whetheh he eeuld• swear to
hint-, or not.
A Juryman—lt is quite essential that we should know who
chinmitted the act, as it appears to have been done without any
Orders.'
... The witness then took his hat, and proterised to mark the
place out where he stood on the fatal occasion.
Francis 31•Gewrane—I live in Great Russel-street, Covent.
garden,.and am a citeesemongeh; I Met the procession. in Piece,
dilly, near the II yde Pak-gate ; then it proceeded through
Hyde Park ; I aeeenupanied it Along the Park until it came out
at Cumberland-gate; the soldiers then formed a line from the•
geteacrose tO,Ctunherland-etreet, then the hearse came through
the gate e. before the hearse was out the soldiers joined their
eehreenioes, who were near Tyburn-gate; then the populace
cattecht hold of the-front horses of the hearse, and were draw-
ing them . towards- Holborn leaf. The soldiers then rushed
hack again- end were cutting at the . people. . I :QM no man
wounded ; I Sew one knocked dtkh, 1 believe, by one of the .
soldier's horses. During all that time the populace were quiet.
I understood the gates were shut. end the soldiers were cutting
theM ; they were nether cutting at those who shut theme they
were shut by the populace. • After the heerse went, the soldiers
were. hooted very considerably ; about that time also some
stones were thrown by the people• at the soldiers; The soldiers
then-formed iii a body hear Tyburn Turnpike, and fired. In
fireaningtes after I -saw - a person :mounded; but many shots .
were fired before I saw' the person, during that period, and
stones were thrown. The person whom I saw wounded was
near the end of Culaberland-street, in Oxford-street There
was a soldier firing and I was getting out of his way. Tile sol-
dier was going to join the rest, but he turned hishead back-
wards and fired. The person who fired I believe to be an offi-
cer: I went up to the man who had fallen, and assisted in
carrying him. We.took him to the Doctor's shop, where he.
breathed four times and not again. I then left the Doctor's
shdp and went home.
By Mr: Sheriff Waithman —I did not hear the Riot Act read
I nor any.admonition from the Magistrates; I saw nothing thrown
from the side where that man wase—all was quiet there; saw the
swords brandished before the stones were thrown; 1 anequhe.
sure of it; the Officer appeared to be a young man, about the
years of age ; I think I should know hint again if he was the
same dress ; when he-fired he had his head one way and his
hard the other ; saw the man fall, and, hearing no other shot,
believed the one fired by the Officer to have killed him ; there
was no other pistol fired at that time as far as I heard.
By i Juryman—There might be about 200 Life Guards there;
the people were cheering the Blues.
by Sheriff Waithman—l saw the soldiers drive their horses
against the people, who were much irritated, -and cried shame,
and yelled at them. I saw no other person Wounded ; the man
who was knocked dowh*was so treated offensively. There was
a contention about the hearse going down Oxford-atree4 and.
then it was the man
.was knocked, down. The swords hwehe
brandished before any stones were thrown. The soldiers kept
cutting at the people. •
.By the Coroner-4 don't know that any one was cut.
By a Juryman—l don't know the stones hurt the soldiers any
more than do whether men might not have been cut by the
soldiers.
When the Clerk finished the reading over this witness-'s
evidence, Mr. Sheriff Waitliman expressed his approbation of
the general correctness with which it had heel taken.
Bartholomew Looney--I live at No. 30, Bainbridge-street,
St. Giles's ; I,am a taylor by trade a I em at work on double
wages, and have been brought up here losing my time, and' I
don't :now by .whom.- I was -at the procession yesterday ; I
joined it up at Kensington, where the 'blockading was, near
the Church ; some people would have the corpse go into. the --
city, and the others would not; then I parted them there aid
came to Mr. Mexall's to Knightsbridge, where I had a pint of
beer, end met the corpse again • I accompanied the hearse to
Ilyde Park Corner ; Sir liobt. was going along the road,
as I would call it, Piccadilly, andanofficer came galloping very
fast after him; this officer said he'd take it on himself ; it was a
good way down Piccadilly. The hearse before this was turned
into the Park ; Sir Robert Baker, or rather, the mob, wanted the
hearse to go straight a-head down Piccadilly; the officer then
Stopped them, and called an orderly man, to whom he whir. -
pared something, and then he saw the hearse turn into the
Park ; I went myself into the Park, and on coming to the
gateway near Oxford-street, these here Piccadilly Butchers
were across the road;- I call them nothing else, or if you wish
—the Horse Guards; the mob hissed at them twice, on which
an officer was the
enough to 'take the pistol out and let fly ;
this was after -the hissing; and-a -man wearing a blue coat and
corduroy breeches was the man who was shot ; truly then,
when the mob found the pistol fired, they launched the stance.
I have trot seen the man since;` the officer was a thin man with -
a Waterloo medal—the shot he fired killed the man, I'll swear
to it; I cannot tell the name of the officer. I cannot tell even
my own age ; I believe I would know the Gentleman ; and if
the whole troop were called up, I think l'd know him ; I could
put my hand upon him though he wore a Waterloo medal • I
could do the same as to the man who spoke to Sir Robert'
Baker ; I glory in that woman who is gone, God be good to
her ; 1 saw no stones thrown until the shot was fired, and then
people_ cried, out shame.
By a Juryman—The shot was fired at the corner of Park..
lane; the officer was towards Tyburn-gate, and let fly the pis-
tol straight before him ; the people were allhissingebut nothing
more ; at the moment the :het was fired the man fell ; he heard
the Riot Act read at Kensington, but does not know who read -
it ; he saw Sir R. Baker in Piccadilly and Tottenham-mut-
road, or if not-in Oxford-street; the man who reach, merely read •
to" Keep the peace ;" that is all -he heard, and he never heard
the Riot Act read before; that's all he knew about it; it might
have occupied five minutes in the reading. . .
• William Thompson,. 11, James-street, Kensington, followed -
oc the pression from Hammersmith. On their arrival at Cum-
berland-gate he saw the officer alluded to riding amongst the
horse soldiers, and speaking to them. He afterwards saw the
same officer fire the pistol ; 'before the report was heard the
deceased fell, and the officer immediately rode back to the
soldiers. ,His face was towards the deceased when he fired, and
he seemed to take his aim at him. He heard a person complain
of being. very much hurt -across the back from the violence-of
the soldiers, and he could not walk.-
Here 11. Sheriff' Waithman suggested the propriety of enter.
ing into the examination of two more witnesses.
The Jury being satisfied, from the number of witnesses that
remained to be examined, that they could not conclude last
night, thought it better to adjourn the Inquest.
Mr. Waithman consented to this proposal, and suggested to
the Coroner and Jury, that the regiment, with the whole of
their Officers, should be brought forward at their next meeting,
in order that the witnesses who had that day given evidence
Might recognise the persona who caused the deceased's death.
The Inquest was. then adjourned till Friday (to-morrow), at
two o'clock. ,

The Jury, on quitting the Inquest-room., were followed by
crowds of persons to the spot where the affray took place, and
measured the distance at which the Officer stood from the de-
ceased when he fired the shot.

The ConoNER afterwards stated, that as the Jury had view-
ed the body, there could now be no objection to its being
terred.
