yard, and cried set, " Here is a Radical, turn him
out." The centime', with a carbitte in his hand,
rudely seised me by the cellar. and violently forced me
out of the yard. I said, this is ammo ly treatment towards
a person who is on business, and waits an answer; I
will, however, wait outside the gate till I can see Ser-
jeans *B." Is a few minutes a 'squat, who said
his name was ", came up to me, and asked me what
I war.ted ? I related the charge of Serjeant ***,
at the Pahlic house avainst me, and " told me to
wait and he would bring use an answer. Whilst waiting
outside the fete. a private soldier came oat of the
stable near the gateway, and threw a pail of water over
nte, and wet me from the waist to the feet. A goo-
tleman who ',Amassed the outrage, came up and gays
s his card, and while this gentleman was taking say
a -dress, several of the Life (Wirth came np, anti
threatened to put me in the ditch if I did not go away
I then went to the landlord of the King's Head, who
was standing at bi-, door, and asked if I bad at all inie-
conducted myself in his house? He replied, certainly
not. I then went to Bvw-street, and made a complaint
before a Magistrate. and there found that I could ob-
tain no redress for the gross assault committed on my
weson. I therefore make oath, and say, that
the article in the Cowrie, Newspaper is a thew
of lies and auisreprireentation, and the charge
" that I made attempts to subvert the soldiers from
their duty," is an atrocious falsehood; for all
my conversation was of the most conciliatory
description. The statement " that I plied the sol-
diers with liqu Jr, till I considered them its a talkative
humour." its equally false, for my reckoaing asnonnted,
altogether, to elghtpence halfpecny ! S. much for
plytog the soldiers with liquor, and endeavouring to
subvert them from their duty. I also swear, to the
besi of my belief, it is false, that there was any ambi-
guous conversation whatever. It is false that I was
angered to quit the house ; and it is also false " that
it was found necessary to duck tue heartily," or, " that
I abused the sentinel."

tkv l►ave little room for comment. Little occasion,
indeed, do we find f•r remark on the evidence before
the Coroners' Inquests, and less itteliostaies for ex-
tending the feeling which the evidence tends to
excite. Possessing, as we do, the fine conviction',
that the cases new are in such a train that the ends of '
justice will, in spite of all impediments, be answered,
Mee wish the public mind to repose with confidence on
the decision of the Juries, and so be satisfied with the
proceedings of floe ordinary coarse of law. Lonsenta-
ble as are the deaths of those who fell by the Ire of
the soldiery. we shall much regret that any measares be
taken respecting their funerals to afford the enemies of
the people occasion for reproach, or furnish a pretext
tor the repetition of violence. litre and peaceable as
mar be the minds of those who may wish to testify
their concern for the deceased by attending them
to their grave us popular procession, opportunity may
easily be found in a large promiscuous soltithile, in
which these enemies inay unsuspectally mitt, to create
disturbance and riot ; and if owe a inaisk he excised,
whatever be its cause, fresh assaisioss may be given for

A Juror, named Little, .was encased Oa $ICIPillt .f
indisposition.

The rearainine 14 Jurors having answered to their
names, the Court proceeded with the examination of
the witnesses.
The Coroner. them read a eownwenicatioa which he
had received Nen Mr. Hohbouse the Upper Secretary
of State. It stated merely that the hour of eleven be-
ing iscuoveniest fur the inspection of the Chards, the
hear had been changed to two o'clock.
Mr. Mutates here observed that the witnesses had
been in attendance as well at eleven as at two o'clock,
bat had been refilled adenittaace.

Mr. Musson— We have no evidence of that.
Mr. HAIN sa-1 prove that a witness, named Young,
was refused admittance.

Mr. HANSON—Is Young here?
Mr. Ilanarsa—lle is not.

Mr. HANSOM—Them, Sir. I must say any oloserve-
Hoe drawn from *visional mut beton us is most impro-
per._
__

_
Mr. HAIIINZR-Mir, Ton cannot be igeorant that I
am at liberty to state whatever I know to the Jury.
Mr. IN xsoe—lt is serely improper to slam that oil
your own authority, which we ought to have oe
oath.

Mr. HARMER.—The fact is immaterial, sod I can
produce soother witness to the same effect.

The witness was then called.

Joseph llawkesworth, by Mr. Hoswas—l was at the
harracko of the florae Gaards at ten o'clock yesterday,
but was not let in till two. I said in my examination
here, that I was in dunk as to the man on account of
a mole o■ his cheek. When at the barracks I saw
the Life Unards, but I could not recognise any one of
them.

Ily the CORONER—Hoer =say troops were drawn np 7
—The Colonel told a peace Aker, in my hearing, that
the whole regiment wee drawn up.
A Juror wished to refer to a letter of Mr. liobhonse,
in order to aseertaia whether it was the regiment or
the detachment which was on duty that day, that was
to be drawn up.
Mr. Coroner, referring to the letter, stated that the,
words were, " the regiment to which the detachment
belonged."

Mr: HARliilt then called for a witness named
Young.
_ _

This witness wag not in attendance.
Mr. HARI/RN—Then. Sir, l world have called upon
him for his summons.

CORONER—Is he reluctant.
kaman—lfe is unwilling to come forward.
though be stated that be could positively identify the
soldier who shot George Francis. 1 want a war-
rant to compel his attendance.
...The Coroner then made out his warrant, and a per-
tbn was sent to execute it.

Spratt, exasisuel by Mr. Hanatau.—Stated
that he Weeded at ski bagraelskat
abont eleven o'click yesterday, and was not permitted
to see them until it was near dark. I waited in a
roofs all lb* time with a sentinel over as. We were
kept is a sort of ketches plate. While l was there I
saw the of who shot Honey, he passed by two or
three times, bet the doer was shut as they passed. We
were not allowed to go out without a soldier. It was
near flee before the first was allowed to see them.—
One of the witnesses went away he would not stop.
By a Juror—Then it was a sort of imprisonment ?
—lt was. It was the first time I had a guard of harmer
by me.
By Mr. Massie—Did you say you thought you
knew the officer ?—Yes, I said so, but a gentleman
told me to say nothing.

But you could not identify the man ?—lit was hard
for auk• one to know them, they were drawn up au an
fairly.

By a Juror—Did you mean to say it was so dark
you could not sot them ?—Not that exactly , I charged
the officer who I thought shot the ma• as he was
going into the stable ; he said nothing, but rushed
into the stable.

Had you time to see him properly?-1 was not at
liberty; there NAP the Adjutant, Magistrates, and Offi-
cers, and they asked me " Do you know him ?" and
quite confounded me.
ConoNcea—Did you tee that office. shoot lioniy
—I saw him point his pistol, and SAW the man fall.
fly a Juror—Then we understand that they did
not afford you facilities for this inspection ?—Certain-
ly not. There were two persons so much alike, that
I could not say whisk was which.
Mr. Haxsos—,—ll protest against any evidence being
admitted here which does not regard the cause of the
death of Francis. We are not now trying how the
man Hooey came by his death.
M. Idantsaa—lt is the sane matter, sad everyone
asuaected with it is guilty of all the deaths that hap-
pened: In Inntlint there are No emesemies, all ale
principals.
Mr. Hansom.—This might be evidence in a Court
tlf Jostler whose jurisdiction is more Olienlllllr. but 1
anhaiiit a Coroner's Jury can take no evidence, that
does not relate to the death of the man, whose death
they are trying.
Mr. HAINIR.—Wbat is admissilole in a Court of
Justice is so here. There are not two classes et rules
of evideme. All persons eoacetned are guilty of all
the deaths that happen.
By a Juror.---. You say there were two Officers, but
they were so much a Ilk. you could not knew them
from each other ? Yes, I as are it was all deception.
The two shape wore small mastachios. and I'll swear
ems of them was painted. They were not fairly laid
out for any witness to see them.
What colour was his face before that you saw it was
painted? lie m a milk white before, hat then ►e had

Mr. Hansox.—l rather think be is mtesding the

Timothy Norris was then sworn and examined by
Mr. liarnwr—l am a carpenter, living at No. 14. Hel-
les-street, Clare-market. I was at Catalterisod-pte
the morning of the 14th. first in the Park and then in
the street. I ?needed the procession, and was abreast
the first mourning souls. lief... it came to Cumber-
land-gate there was a contest for opening and shutting
the gate between the people and the soldiers.
Cononaa—Was there a great contest?--There
was.

Any violence ?—1 did not see any. but some blood
was spilt, which cam*, as I understood, from one of
the horses. A man on horseback said he would not
stir till he knew where the blood came from, and a
Guardsman came up and desired him to go away. He
would not, and the soldier then cut at him. It was an
officer, not a Ovate who desired him to go away. I
was pats near them, standing in the small gate at the
left hand side. The blood I thought proceeded from
a horse.

Mr. Hanson—Did you see the blood ?—1 did. When
the man would not go, the officer cushion several times
on the head, and he bled a great deal. I sag• the.blood
*owing from his bead.
Mr. Harmer—Had the man on horseback lifted hi•
hand against the soldier i—l saw Nothing of the kind.
He gave so other lance sham akin who •pilled the
blood.

Should you hoow that officer ?—I do not think I
should.

Diti-yose ere say poice-olleers raeatl—l saw alibis(

then at the left band side of the penny. I had ping-

CoaoNse--Did you see any brickbats or large
stones ?-4 saw sense which seemed to be throws by
people inside the Park. I did not remain in the gate-
way whilst the procession was passing through ; when
the man was takes away I west outside.
Comosan—Did you see any of the stones strike the
soldiers ?—I did not. They might as well strike the
people. The soldiers then took different directions. and
began to cat away amongst the people. and in half a
minute after a pistol was fired. They still cat away
with t►eir swords.

Cosionna--Did say of thine aim at yon ?—Yee, oae
