Could you tell us the readiest way of getting the'
names ?—I cannot assist you.
, You will not ?—You may put whatever construc-
tion you please upon it.
Will Captain Oakes say who is the fittest person
to apply to for this purpose?—The orderly corporal,
I should think. •
Does he keep a roll ?--He does.
Is it filed or signed ?--I think not.
How can you get at these names ?—I do not think
it is possible. There is no roster kept of the men ;
there is one of the Officers.
Were you limited as to time P—No ; I would have
staid as long as Sir It. Baker thought proper. Sir It.
Baker told me of his intention of going into the City.
If Sir R. Baker told me he did not want me, I should
return, or should have staid for any length of time

that he did want me.
Examined by Mr. Blakie.—Sir R. Baker told me of
his intention that the Procession should pass through
the City ; but as that intention did not accord with
the orders which I then received, I requested he
would suspend the execution of that design until I
should communicate with higher authority, and he
consented so to do. I beg leave to add, that I made
this request because my orders were to carry the Pro-
cession by the New-road.
Did you see any one rode over in the Park ?—I
saw a man knocked over ; but he was not one of mine.
how were the Officers placed who were under your
command?—One I dispatched with a message for
further orders ; the other was at the head of the squa-
dron. It was Lieut. Story-I sent with the message.
Where, in Oxford-street, were you when you heard
the first fire?—l was at Tyburn-gate.
Did Lieut. Story return to you before the Proces-
sion entered the Park ?—He did not, the second time.
Examined by Mr. ADoLritus.—The orders were'
given by Government, and I had my orders as a mi-
litary man, with Sir Robert Baker, to carry the Pro-
cession by the New•road, which was the precise line
it was to go. I sent Lieut. Story twice; the first
time he had returned before the Procession entered
the Park, but not the second.
Mr. HANSO&, jun. now said, that he had received
a communication, stating that Lieutenant Gore was

in attendance.
Witness resumed.—Neither I nor Sir R. Baker had
any authority to turn the Procession from the pre-
scribed route. Sir R. Baker did not tell me it was
his voluntary intention to carry it through the City.
I understood it was the act of Sir R. Baker himself
against the orders of Government. I thought he
was compelled to do so, and I understood he would
be responsible for it. Being sworn to tell the truth,
and the whole truth, I must say that you, Gentlemen,
can have but a very vague idea of the attack that
was made upon us.
• Examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—HOW nurrly we e
wounded that day ?—There were thirty-seven in the
surgeon's list; two I sent off the ground, who were
utterly unable to keep their horses ; and next day it
appeared that forty-one men and eight horses were
wounded. This occurred before any firing took place;
there was not much mischief afterwards, for after we
had repelled the first attack there was but a slight
attack upon us. Indeed, knowing that the lives of
the men were entrusted to me, I blame myself for
the forbearance which I spewed. The two men who
were sent off the ground were wounded before the
firing. There are two men still in the hospital.
Examined by Jurors.—l saw some soldiers use their
swords at the gates. We were compelled to make
use of greater exertion. I did not see soldiers scour-
ing the streets sword in hand. Their steadiness and
regularity were far greater than I could have ex•
pected. The brickbats were first thrown at me at
Kensington, in great showers; so much so that a man
told me it was determined to have me off the horse.
There were then shouts of Victory ! victory ! Thank
GOD, we have beaten them for once !" And this con-
tinued till we reached Knightsbridge.
Was that after Sir Robert Baker had promised
they should go through the City ?—I know not what
Sir Robert Baker promised.
Mr. Spicer.—l wish you would give a detail of
what happened to yourself that day ?—I will endea-
vour to do so. I have told you all, as far as Hyde
Park Corner. There were very few stones thrown in
Piccadilly. I advanced to Grosvenor-gate. At Gros-
venor-gate I was violently assailed with stones and
brickbats, which continued till we came to Cumber-
land-gate. At that moment it was so violent that I
apprehended the worst consequences. I entered
Oxford-street under a shower of brickbats from every
direction. On arriving at Tyburn-gate I found a
mob on both flanks, one behind the iron-rails, and the
other behind a waggon drawn up across the Edge-
ware-road, sustained by a tree or piece of timber.—
The third mob was behind Tyburn-gate. A simul-
taneous attack commenced from these three positions
upon us; entire submiision would be to sacrifice every
man I had. I was therefore induced to ride at the
gate, which was closed, to seize the foremost of the
rabble who were drawn up against me. We soon
arrested the progress of the stones and brickbats.—
We passed behind the iron railing of the Park. The
men having no means of defending themselves, a
pistol became the only alternative for self-preser-
vation. As far as fell under my observation, the
pistols were directed to the air, with a view rather
to intimidate than to retaliate upon them. When
we removed the waggon from the Edgeware-road,
the Procession then proceeded. I then retired, being
informed by the Magistrate there was no further• oc-
casion for the military.
Mr. Spicer.—l feel much obliged to you for your
condescension.
Examined by a Juror.—Were all the corporals and
privates on duty on the 14th mustered on the 21st?
—I have reason to believe they were.
Examined by Me CORONER.—None were absent, to
my knowledge.
Mr. Spicer.—Those in the hospital were very soon
recovered?
Mr. ADOLPHUS.—We presume those in the hospi-
tal were not mustered ?—They were not.
• Mr. Blakie.—How do you know that the eight
horses were wounded ?—They were reported to me.
Mr. that evidence ?—lt was not my
business to inspect either men or horses. I received
the report of one from the veterinary surgeon, and
the other from the Adjutant. I transmitted them to
the Commanding Officer.
Were the horses cut or bruised ?—I did not exa-
mine them.
