-The Jury summoned. to. inquire into the circum-
stances 4Sf the death of Edward Vyse, met on Satur-
day morning in pursuance of adjournment.
Edward flome, a messenger of the Board of Trade,
vent to Mr. Robinson's house on Tuesday evening ;
*topped there till nine o'clock ; heard the mob get
very riotous; heard tt,e stones thrown ; went out th 4
back way, and tame to the front of the house, where
he saw about sixty persons, some throwing at the
house; spoke to a young man, and asked him if he
was not afraid of their firing ? He said. " No; they
dare not fire ball." This person said we will have at
them again, and tried to persuade the mob to follow
him. Witness went hack to the house ; upon going
into the parlour, some brick bats entered ; saw a sol-
dier ask a footman for sonic shot, with which he
loaded his piece ; could not recollect the soldier who
got the shot ; heard some stones fall on the floor, and
immediately three shots were fired ; heard somebody
say, some person is wounded.
George Ulph, private in the 3d regiment of Guards,
was called out of the kitchen by the corporal, to assist
shove stars ; he went into the parlour accordingly.
The Horse Guards afterwards came up, and witness
and his party were ordered to fall into rank in the
street ; in half an hour they returned to the house for
the night; witness was provided with twenty-one
rounds of ball cartridges, but did not load his musket
during the evening ; returned his ammunition to the
armoury the next morning. Witness thought his life
in danger in the course of the evening.
George Graves, Joseph Pawley, and William Cle-
ments, also privates in the Sel regiment, deposed that
they conceived their lives to have been in danger from
tie menaces and outrageous conduct at the rioters.—
Out of the '2l rounds of ball cartridges served to
them, Graves and Pawley returned to the armoury
20 full rounds, and a ball each, and Clements 19
rounds and two balls. Neither themselves; nor any
of their party wore foraging caps.
Daniel Harris, an officer of Union-hall ; from what
he saw, had he had authority, as a civil officer, he
should have ordered the soldiers to fire with ball ; did
not think that seven foot soldiers without side the
house could have dispersed the mob when he was
there, which was about a quarter past nine.
Daniel Heron, an assitant officer of Union-hall,
fully corroborated the testimony of the last witness,
and agreed with him as to the necessity of firing on
the people with ball.
John Cripps was in Burlington-street on the night
in qi.e,tion ; went there from curiosity. There were
about forty persons in front of Mr. Robinson's house;
stood in the street about ten minutes, doting that
time saw no stone thrown, tire people seemed per-
fectly quiet; on a sudden'heard a gun fired from the
windows of the house ; witness was struck by a shot
and ran away.
Lieutenant Edward Trant Bontien, of the Life
Cuards, deposed, that on the night in question lie
arrived in Burlington-street, at ten o'clock ; saw a
Wllll4ll lying wounded, questioned the corporal as to
the cause, who told him that the firing had taken
place in consequence of the house being violently at-
tacked by the mob, and considering his life in danger:
Witness gave evidence by desire of Lord Sidmoutb.
Ambtose Colley, groom to Mr. Robinson, was at
home at eight o'clock; he spoke
.generally of the
violence of the mob, and the danger in which he was;
he thought his lile in danger. Abundance of stunts
were thrown i:ito the house but he did not see any
one hit ; the soldiers fired without directions.
Elizabeth Cotton proved that Miss Hood had said!
she had heard the footman say, be was sorry but for
one Offing, and that was, that he had killed only two,
be wished he had killed six.
William Smith, coachman to Mr. Robinson, was
at home about eight o'clock on Tuesday evening.—
There was a violent knocking at the door, and stones
were continued to be thrown at the windows. The
shutters were forced open in the parlour, and the sole
diers then bred. Heard them say it was with blank
cartridge. The people continued to throw, and. the
soldiers again fired. SAW one of the soldiers in the
parlour take a pistol from the butler, who received it
from the footman at his own request.
The Jury now adjourned, to afford time to get the
evidence of Miss Hood and her servant, who both
denied the fact stated by Elizabeth Cotton, that they
had heard the footman say that he was sorry he bad
killed only two ; he wished he had killed six.
At half past six the Jury again met, when Marga-
ret Hood, Mary Trail, and James Anderson, were
examined, but their evidence went to throw no new
light on the subject.
The Jury, after a deliberation of two hours and a
half, tound a verdict of—" Wilful Murder against
semi- person or persons, firing shot from and out of
fire arms, from Mr. Robinson's front parlour win-
dows."—This verdict was accompanied by the fol-
lowing observations :
Ist. It is the opinion of the Jury, that the Military
acted improperly, on entering the house of Mr. Ro-
binson, nithout proper authority so to do. •
'24ly. It is the opinion oldie Jury, that, from the
evidence adduced, there was no necessity for firing
w;th shot at the time Edward Vyse met his death.
Jelly. It is their opinion also, that the' firing was
unconstitutional, in not being ordered by the Civil
Authorities.
A Circular has been transmitted from Lord Sld
mourn to the Vestry Clerks of the Metropolitan Pa.
ish,s, without the limits of the City, recommending
Meetings for the purpose of electing special constables,
and adopting other methods for preventing riots and
disturbances.,

spoons, were capitally convicted, and received sen-
tence of death.
