$7. JAMES'S PARK CMOS?:

On Sunday, at one o'clock, the Adjutant of the
Coldilream Regiment, went to the orderly room, at
the Horfe Guards, and fent for George Jones, of the
16th Company, for the purpofe of interrogating him
refpeetang the ghoft, as it was laid that he was one of
the men who had Teen it, and had been confiderably
affaled by the fight. The man accordingly attended,
and declared his readinefs to make oath of the truth
of what he had already Rated.
I'hr following is a Copy of a declaration which he
afterwards made and figned before an Officer :
Ido fulenmly declare.tbat whilft on guard at the Recruit-boo fe,
I on or about the 3d !ottani, about half gait one o'clock in the mor -
tang, I perceived the figure of a woman, without a bead, rife from
the tank, at the diftance of about three feet before me. I was fo
alarmed at the eircuratance, that I had not power to fpeak to it,
which was my with to have done; but I ditliffetly °Nerved that
the figure was drilled in a red Itriped gown, with red fres be-
tween each ftrtpe, and that part of the deft and figure appeared
to me enveloped in a cloud.
• In about the (pace of two feconds, whilft my eyes were fixed
on the objed,it milked fmm my fight. I WAS perfedly fober and
eftlefted at the time, and being in great trepidation, celled to the
nest remind, who met me about half way, and to wham I com-
municated the 'triage fight I had ken. Grottos ones,J

In addition to the declaration of Jones, there is an-
other as follows :
• I do hereby dedate,that whilft on guard behind the Armoury-
book, (to the belt of my receledion about three works ago) I
heard. at twelve o'clock at night, a tremendous wife, width pro-
ceeded from the window of an uninhabfted hook, rear to the fps
where I was upon duty. At the fame dote, I heard a voice cry
ent—w' Bring me a tight ! bring me a light I' The left kotenee was
uttered io fo feeble and fo changeable a tone of yoke, that I con-
cluded from percale Was 111, and confequently offered them my af-
011iece toll's:mire a light. I could, however' obtain no anfwer to
my prepaid. although I repeated it leveed times, and as cites
beard the voice ufe the fame terms. I endeavoured to fee the per-
fon who called ant, but in vain. On a redden the violent vole
was renewed, which appeared to me to rifembk fakes of windows
lifted hattity try and down, but then they were moved In loch quick
focedlon, and at different parts of the houk neatly at the fame
time, that it kernel impoffible to me that one perfon could aecom-
plilh the whole hufioefs. I heard kraal of the regiment fay they
have heard dinner Doan and proceedings, but I have never heard
the caste accounted for. (Signed) ° RICH ARD DONICIN'

On Monday the above George goner was brought
before Sir RICNAKD Folio, to be interrogated re.
fpeaing the fight he was fuppofed to have fern. Pre.
vious to his examination, Mr. STATFORD, the Chief
Clerk. endeavoured to find out whether his imagina-
tion had received any impreffions from reading any
difmal Rory, or if he had, at the time the phantom
appeared to him, Coffered the Rory of the Hammer-
fmith Ghoft to dwell on his mind, in order, if pot
fible, to afcertain if he had been milled by his fancies.
To thefe quellions he anfwered in the negative. On
being anted refpating the grange objeethe had teen,
he folemnly declared, that he was ready at any time
to make oath to what he had Rated, and that he
I firmly believed he had fern a ghoß. He detailed
every thing in Court as near as poflible to what is
inferted under his own fignature.

every perfon an opportunity of exchanging his Tic.
