a few minutes saw the gates thrown open,
and the procession came through : saw the hearse
heading toward Oxford-road ; then sa* the
soldiers retreat and return to Edgeware-road, at
which there was a great piece of work in a
minute; saw the soldiers cutting and dashing,
which caused many stones to fly ; as near as
can say, was then opposite Sir William Manners',
opposite Tyburn-gate, where they began to fire;
saw an officer shoot first, to his recollection ; was
pushed away by the crowd sometimes in the rear,
and sometimes upon the pavement, from the peo-
ple pushing ; there remained with the crowd
until they ceased firing', and the soldiers moved
on, and he moved on by this house, until he re-
covered himself; then found out that he was
shot twice through the hat; he was also shot
through the coat.—[lfere-the witness said that
he had been on board a 1-nial.:,-nf-war and in the
army, but was never in such a. fillalloo before in
his life. He never before saw soldiers fire upon
unarmed men.]—Saw stones, but not until after
the soldiers used their swprds, and the firing be-
gan one, two, three, or four minutes after ; saw
no Magistrate
etrying to prevent them ; has been
a soldier, but the soldiers did not behave as sol-
diers; saw the officer fire, but hardly thinks he
should know him ; he might, if he saw him in re-
gimentals ; saw no stones thrown in the Park ;
saw no man shot ; saw the officer fire ; he was
standing between Cumberland-gate and Tyburn
Turnpike, and fired towards St. Giles's ; the man
that the soldier cut at at Kensington, was run-
ning away ; cannot say what time elapsed be-
tween the throwing of the stones and the firing,
but supposes about two or three minutes ; was in
the Ist regiment of Bucks Militia twenty years
ago, and went from thence a volunteer into the
16th ; was afterwards in a man-of-war.
After some conversation as to the propriety of
admitting this last witness to the Barrack-yard,
ii was agreed that he should receive a ticket of
admission.

William Deloraine Jones, residing at No. 9,
Richmond-buildings, Soho-square, Gentleman, on
a visit to London from Oxford.—Joined the pro-
cession at Kensington, near the Church. Had
been about 10 minutes there when he learnt that
the people wanted it to go by a different route.—
At this time the people were making much
noise, hallooing, hissing, and crying " Through
the city ! through the city !"—Sir Robert Baker
joined the procession, taking his station at the
head of it, with one soldier by his side. The
procession went on to Kensington-gate, where it
halted, and a party of soldiers joined it, who
were rather violent, and drove the people on to
the fopt-path.• .The people called out, " What
do the soldiers do here ?" He rti"n through the
Park to Hyde Park-corner, and. arrived there a
short time before the procession. Saw the Com-
mittee on horseback, and presently after Sir
Robert Baker, who rode past the gate a little
distance beyond Apsley House, and two or three
of the mourning coaches went also beyond the
Park-gates. An officer came up to Sir Robert
Baker, and, having spoken to him for a few
minutes, the procession stopped. The people
cried out that they wanted to go up Park-lane,
but there was an obstruction there of carts and
waggons. Heard that they were to go through
the Park. Heard a great hallooing and noise,
and saw the soldiers riding about, but saw no
stones thrown till they came up to the gates,
which were closed by the people. The soldiers
having struck the. people with the flat of the
swords the gates were forced open, the people
calling out 64 Piccadilly butchers." A party of
soldiers then passed into Oxford-street, and the
witness heard a firing, which, from the sound, he
concludes to have been in the Park. After this
he saw a quantity of mud and dirt thrown. Wit-
ness came into Oxford-street, and placed him-
self near the rails. The brickbats and stones
flew about in all directions, but more especially
from the quarter in which he stood. lie begged
of those near him to desist. A soldier said to
him—" You had better move off or you will get
a brickbat at your head." lle then crossed the
road. There were many people present. Saw
some of the soldiers firing ; after which there
were more shots fired. lle then moved towards
Cumberland-street, where there were not so
many people ; after this, he saw an Officer in the
road, who fired at a distance of 14 or 15 yards
or more from where the witness stood, in Cum-
berland-street, nearer Tyburn-gate ; heard a cry
of murder ; no particular aim seemed to be taken ;
saw the flash and believes he should know the
officer ; there is an impression on his mind that
the Officer who fired is one whom he has seen
frequently before in plain clothes ; saw Sir
Robert Baker both in Oxford-street and on the
'road ; heard him say, especially in the Park and
in Piccadilly, to- the gentlentien who rode up to
him, 46 for God's sake, Gentlemen, if you have
any influence, use it, to keep quiet ;" he saw a
Gentleman ride up to the Officer in Oxford-street,
who remained ivith him a •few minutes, after
which the Guards rode off ; the Officer was a
young man about 22 or 23; did not hear the
Riot Act read.

In answer to a question by Mr. llANsox—Bcfore the Officer
fired; stones had beeen thrown.
114. WAI TIT MAN submitted, that as there were a great
many witnesses, they might be called in, and examined as to
the simple fact, whether they could identify any person who
fired pistols. . .
The CoßowEit—Do you allude to the pistols fired generally,
or to the particular shot which killed the deceased, tie cause of
-whose death they Were inquiring ir.to ?
Mr. WAIT MAN said, that he considered evesy person- who
fired a shot as implicated in the inquiry then going on.
In answer to a question 'put• by Mr. ll,vssoy as to the direc-
tion of the Officer's horse, titer witaiss said that the tail of the
horse was obliquely towaTdsCumberland-street.
