Mr. Anot.Puys here observed, that as Capt.Oakes •
could speak to only one fact of his own knowledge
—namely, his having sent two wounded men off the
ground, it was better to strike out all that he had
heard on the reports of others. This was done.
Examined by Mr. Blakie.—The firing proceeded
from the bead of my detachment. I did not tell Sir
R. Baker that I was willing to go the way that he
should like. (It was Captain Bouvetie, of the Blues,
who said so, as appeared in the evidence of Sir

Robert Baker).
The deposition baying been read over to the wit-
ness, he said that if the Jury were anxious to know
what became of Lieutenaia hunk, he would sal• that
he did not return till the time the Procession left the

Park.
Mr. Blakie.—Was Lieutenant (nrc under your
command?—lle %%as, but I g:tve him no orders. I

can venture to say that the firing did not commence
with Lieutenant Gore's detachment. I said before it
began from the head of my detachment.
Juror.—Will yon new, Sir, say whalicr you gave
any orders to fire ?-1 decline answering that ques-
tion. Lieutenant Gore was certainly under my or-
ders, for the inferior Of always gives ‘vay to the

superior.
Juror.—Then we may presume the mrn had no
orders to fire ?—I decline answering that question.
Mr. Blakie.—Will you say that the record orders
you received were to act a,r,‘ aiust the civil power?
Mr. ADOLPILVS.—If he answers in the affirmative,
it would make him guilty of treason in acting against

the civil Magistrate.
Examined by a Juror.—When I passed through
Cumberland-gate Lieutenant Gore was not there, and
I therefore infer that he was in my rear. When I
rode on to Tyburn-gate, Lieutenant Gore remained

at Cumberland-gate:
Were you wounded ?-1. was not wounded, but -I
was struck by a brickbat, which would have broke
my head but for my helmet.
The evidence of Captain Oakes here closed.
Mr. Blakic here took an opportunity of thanking
Captain Oakes for the very handsome manner iu
which he had given his testimony.
Captain Oakes regretted that it had been so tedious.
As Captain Oakes withdrew from the room, the
Foreman and Jury stood up, in testimony of their
respect.
The Jury then withdrew for a short time.
The Jury returned at twenty minutes past six
o'clock, when
Mr. Brown expressed his wish that Corporal Col-
son should be called in and re-examined.
The CORONER said, he understood that Lieutenant
Gore was in attendance to give his evidence, and he
wished him to have the precedence.
Mr. Brown acquiesced, and
Lieutenant Gore was then called in and examined.
—I know nothing touching or relating to the death
of Richard Honey. I was on duty on the 14th ;my
station was at Cumberland-gate. I had thirteen men
under my command, twelve privates and a trumpeter.
I don't include corporals with the privates. There
were two corporals present. I wore no cloak on that
day. 1 was accoutred according to the field-day or-
ders. It is quite optional whether, on such occasions,
an Officer takes pistols or not. I was not provided
with pistols on that occasion. A very short time
after I had been at Cumberland-gate, I discovered
I had not brought my pistols. I then discovered
also that I had no cloak. I looked and found I had
neither cloak nor pistols. I was not looking for them,
but I lifted up my shavraque, and saw I had neither.
On lifting up my shavraque, I said, " My servant
has sent me out without either cloak or pistols." I
never carried pistols previous to that day. I might
have had them in the Riding School during my tui-
tion. I suppose it is fifteen months since 1 dismissed,
my Riding-master. I am not quite positive as to the
time. I consider myself perfectly entitled to carry
pistols now.
Examined by a Juror.—lt was of no great conse-
quence whether I had pistols or not. lam perfectly
sure I had no pistols on the 14th, the day of the
Queen's funeral. I don't know the names of the two
corporals who were under my command on that day.
If I saw them now in the barrack-yard I should not
know them. I have some idea of the name of one of
them. I don't know the name of the trumpeter. The
detachment was turned out in a hurry. I-can't tell
the age of the corporals or of the trumpeter. I don't
know whether the trumpeter's age was twenty or
sixty. I forget if I had any conversation with him
on that day. I might have said two or three words
to him ; it is quite out of my recollection. He rode
after me at a considerable distance. I borrowed no
cloak on that day. I saw no man in my detachment
offer me the loan of a pistol on that day.
Examined by another Juror.—l believe there was
one of the detachment who offered me the loan of a
cloak on that day.
A short conversation here took place between some
of the Jury and the Coroner, who complained that
the questions were not fairly put to the witness.
Examination continued.-1 can't say whether I was
at the head of my detachment when it left Cumber-
land-gate. The party went off irregularly. I was
sometimes at the head, and sometimes at the side of
the detachment. Having remained so long, I took
little notice whether the trumpeter was near me or
not. I did not hear a cry from the mob, 44 There
go the two butchers together!" I was not with my
troop at the inspection on the 21st. I was present
when the witnesses went to inspect the regiment. 1
was in the same uniform, and on the same horse, as
on the 14th. I wore no cloak on the day of inspec-
tion. I was opposite Cumberland-street after the
Procession had gone up the Edgeware-road. I was
in Cumberland-street after the l'rocession bad passed
round the corner of the Edgewarc-road. I have no
recollection of the particular time when I was there
and dismissed from duty. About two hours and a'
half after the Procession had pa,;sed, I went into Cum.
berland-street to speak to Captain Oakes ; my party
was not with me. swear I was not in Cumber-
land-street with my party, and the trumpeter beside
me. I had no conversation with the trumpeter either
of Captain Oakes's party or my own, in Cumberland-
street. Some of my men were returned as wounded.
One man complained of being hurt. I saw the
helmet of another beaten in ; I mean I saw it after it
was beaten in. I was informed a horse belonging to
, my party had his throat cut ; by this I mean that the
horse was cut in the throat. I learned that the sol.
Bier was obliged to leave his duty. I was about 220
