By a Juror.--I cannot say whether any stones were
thrown from the end of Cumberland-street: there
were some from both sides, but there were more
thrown from the end of Park-lane and the lodge than
from the opposite side. The name of the trumpeter
'who was with the troop on the 14th was Bishop, ac-
cording to the best of my belief. The trumpeter
who came here with me is not the man ; the trum-
peter who was there is about 16, or from that to 20
yeati of age, but I can't exactly say. I was so much
confused after I got the hit, that I did not know well
what passed. I was not confused or in a fright be-
fore I was struck ; but I can't say positively who was
the trumpeter to the best of my belief it was Bishop.
I can't tell when the detachment left the barracks,
and when they were joined by others, at a later period.
By Mr. Caife.—The name of the trumpeter on
duty at Cumberland-gate is, I believe, Bishop. There
were ten men and two corporals on duty there, but
I cannot state their names. I am in Captain MiNeill's
company. I cannot tell the names of the men whci
were on duty. The orderly corporal is acquainted
with them. There are eight corporals to a troop,
and the orderly corporal holds his situation for a
week. Corporal Colson was the orderly corporal
on the 14th of August. Corporal Forge went to the
barra‘ks before me, his horse being wounded.
By the Foreman.—Lieutenant Gore ordered us to
clear the people from the gate when it was shut the
first time. We call them Lieutenants, but the pro-
per title is Sub-Lieutenant.
By the CORONZR.—We were not ordered to use
violence, but we were obligated to resort to it, be-
cause the people would not go away when we spoke
to them. They abused us, and set us at defiance.
By Mr. Blakie.—lt. was impossible that Lieute-
nant Gore could have seen his cloak without lifting
up his shavraque, which covers the end of the saddle.
By the Foreman.—There was no Magistrate, that
I know of, present, when Lieutenant Gore ordered us,
to clear the people away. I cannot say whether there
was or not, for I do not know the persons of any of
the Magistrates.
By Mr. HANSON. —lt was impossible to clear the
gates without using our swords as I 'have described,•
for the people would not take advice, or proceed
quietly. The people would not obey us, and take
the orders we gave them to leave the gates. I was
two or three minutes stunned by the blow of the
stone. When I recovered, I saw the people blocking
up the Edgeware-road, and it was not until I got to
the Edgeware-road that I heard the report of firing.
I am positive of that.
By Mr. Gale.—l did not, to the best of my know-
ledge and belief, see any Gentleman in plain clothes
speak to Lieutenant Gore.
By Mr. Blakie.—Except the Captain who came
up with the Procession, and two Officers who accom-
panied him, I saw no Officer at Cumberland-gate,
except Lieutenant Gore. Captain Oakes and two
other Officers were elsewhere.
In answer to the Coaosten.—There is a trumpeter
in waiting from the Regiment. He attends in conse-
quence of a summons.
The Coaosren.—l have asked the question, be-
cause I have just received a letter from Captain
Lygon, who states that he has directed corporal Hay-1
wood, and trumpeter Farman to attend, in conse-
quence of the summonses issued yesterday. He fur-
ther observes, that the Officer; who were summoned
are not at present in town, but that the summonses
would be forwarded to them, and they would attend
as speedily as possible.
Mr. Haszeotc.—Those Gentlemen are out of town
at present. The summonses are forwarded to them,
and they will attend at the next adjournment.
The Foreman.— That is very handsome ; but the
witnesses in attendance are pressing to be dismissed.
Mr. HANSON.--I will undertake to say that all the
Gentlemen will be here, if you adjourn to Friday.
The Foreman.—There are several persons now in
waiting who ought to be attended to.
The CORONER.—WeII, they can be accommodated
by calling them in now. I have just received a let-
ter from a witness who says—" I am sorry to have
caused you so much trouble respecting the death of
Honey. I was not at home at the time, or I should
have answered your summons before. I know nothing
of the death of Honey. If I did, I would have been
one of the first to come forward.—J. Stanley, St.
John-street."
The Foreman.On such a principle as that, every
body may make a statement of the same kind.
The Foreman.—l understand that person is in
waiting. As he knows nothing of the business. you
can very soon dispatch him.
Richard Fannon was then called in.
Mr. Brown suggested that there was no necessity
to swear this individual, as it was in evidence that he
was not the trumpeter who was, on the 14th, at Cum-
berland-gate.
It was however, after some conversation, deemed
proper to administer the usual oath to him.
By Mr. Gale.—Do you know the name of the
trumpeter who was at Cumberland-gate on the 14th?
Ido not. I have been summoned herein mistake.
Do you not know the name of the trumpeter?—l,,
do not. r did not see the party leave the Barracks.
Did you see them return ?—No, I did not.
The CORONER.—He knows nothing about it.
Mr. Caife.—He does not wish to know anything
about it.
The CORONER.—We have no right to say that.
Mr. Gale.—Do you know the nature of an oath?
—1 do.
On your oath, then, do you know the trumpeter
who was on duty on the 14th at Cumberland-gate?
I did not see him go out.
What is the name of the youngest trumpeter in
the regiment ?—Frederick Saloman is the name of
the youngest trumpeter.
By the Foreman.—What is his age ?—I think he
is about my own age.
What is that ?—Four and thirty.
Mr. Brown.—The witness may imagine that the
question refers to the trumpeter who has most re•
cently been attached to the regiment; we want to
know the name of the youngest man employed as
trumpeter.
Witness.—l believe John Edwards is the youngest
man employed as trumpeter. I understood the for-
mer question to refer to the time the individual was
in the regiment in the capacity of trumpeter.
Is there a trumpeter of the name of Bishop in the
regiment ?—No.
'What is the age of Edwards ?—Twenty or 22.
