can give no reason; I beard no person read the Riot
Act, nor any person tell the soldiers to desist from
riding among the people.
By the Foreman—l neither saw nor heard any firing
.bef.qe hearie...paued throup. the gate ;.-11-there
had been any, I was in Lord Bagot's drawing room,
and I think I 'elitist have seen or beard it; I saw two
-t.ir three whole bricks thrown, one of whieli'l saw-
.Ntrike one of the soldiers; the brick came from the
Park wall; the soldier that was struck, might be about
four yards from the will at the time. He appeared to
me to be very much hurt ; lie was near tumbling from
his horse; I observed an officer at the gate that day;
don't know his name; he was a young man ; I did
not take notice of any other officer than the officer who
was with that detachment; I saw no pistol in his
hands, nor carbine ; I saw a trumpeter that day, but I
do not know him; I don't think 'I should know him
again, I took so little notice of him; he was not a
black man; he appeared to me about 20 or 30 ; I ob-
served the soldiers attempt to drive back the people,
and flourish their swords ; I do not think they flourish-
ell their swords in an import- manner ; I saw a sol-
(tier and his horse down it that time, how he came so,
('don't knew; I did not see him till after he was down.
By Mr. Gall—l do not now play the trumpet ; I
pay another person to do it ; I never beard whether it

By another Juryman—l saiv some paving stones,
which had been left loose at the corner of Camber-
land-street, not being rammed down ; the mob had
get them up, and were endeavouring to break them,
anocking one against the other, bat whether they suc-
ceeded in breaking them Ido not know. This was at
the corner of Cumberland-street, nearest to Tyburn-
ate; I do not know whether these stones were after-
ivards thrown ; I cannot say that I saw any stones
thrown from the opposite corner, but they were thrown
from the middle of the street ; I did not see any horses
wounded that day ; I saw several struck ; I did see
one with his throat cut; the detachment commanded
tai the young officer went away shortly after the heaise
lilt the gate ; I did not see the trumpeter in conversa-
tion with the officer ; when the people were carrying
by a man through Cumberland-street, there was a cry'
or murder.

By another Juryman—l had no conversation with
Lord Shaftesbury on the subject, nor with any one but
Mr. Henson. Mr. Waith tuan called while I was at the
inflow, and if he had questioned me I should have
given him the same account which I gave to Mr. Hen-
son. Mr. Waitbman asked of the person who opened
the door, as I understood, " Mistress, can you give us
any information upon this matter ?" and the person
answered " No." Lord Shaftesbury did not call upon

That part of the evidence which related to Mr.
• Waitbump's conversation being hearsay, *as not ill-
-serted in the minutes.

Care for hurts and bruises received that day. The
;;►cater number of hurts were contusions on the bead,
►.eek, body, and limbs; they were such as would have
been inflicted by stones and brickbats. All the men so
struck and bruised, as I have described, required care
u..der my hands. I only saw 37. There were five of
them who had broken bones;—one a broken cheek-
bone; one a shoulder-blade broken, that was Sowerby;
one a collar-bone broken ; one an ancle-bone broken ;
and oae a shin-bone and arm-bone injured. These were
healthy ►►►en before they went out. 1 did not examine
them before, my business being only to inspect those
who are ill. I wish to mention that there were 36 men
brought in from Cumberland-gate, but one man was
brought afterwards from Westminster. Sowerby, the
man who had the collar-bone broken, was brought from
Westminster. I order►d them all into the hospital.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—We have only to do with the 36
persons.
By the Foreman—The whole of the 36 persons were
in the hospital for five or six days; those who received
fractures are still there, and the whole are on the sick list.

By another Juryman—lt is not customary for men to
appear on the parade who are on the sick list ?—Witness.
Certainly aot.
By another Juryman—Sowerby did not go into the
hospital until the day after the riot. He did not think
that his aria was broken, but when I examined it I
found he bad received a fracture. I was in the barracks
to receive the men, and I knew that they were out upon
the service at Cumberland-gate.

By the Foreman—The 36 persons were all on the sick
list, and they positively did not go out under six days;
all of those who did go on duty went before I thought
that they ought to have gone, but the duty pressed hea-
vily ; Sowerby, and the men who received fractures, are
all on the sick list ; those who had fractures were cer-
tainly not at the inspection ; I don't know

The next witness was Samuel Bloxam—l am veteri-
nary surgeon to the First Regiment of Life Guards; I
inspected the horses who returned from duty on the 14th
in the course of the same evening; there were a
many hurt, but not disabled from duty, and those MI

cut with flints, but after rest were capable of returning
to duty ; one horse had the artery ander the jaw divides j

By the FOILIMAN—I made a memorandum about five
minutes before I came here; I did sot know until then

statement; the name of the officer whom horse is still
unfit for duty is Lieutenant Hall; his bone was wood-
ed by a blow of a stone; the ether was a eat wound,
not a torn wound; it divided the artery; it was about
three parts of as Inch deep ; I don't know the teintrotse

what took place at Grosvenor-gate • I was in my own
tamest the-upper lied-room window,-.1 Think it was
about hallppst eleven, it might have beets a little ear-
lier; a corporal's guard of the Life Guards came into
the Park, and stood opposite to Grosvenor-gate *lth the
horses' heads towards Kensington. They coatinued.
quietly in that situation until about a quarter past 12,
when 1 first perceived the Queen's funeral coming up the
Park; it was opposite to Lord Breadalbane'shouse when
I first saw it; a great crowd followed up Park-lane;
think about fifteen or twenty. of them setting up a hor-
rid yell; it was not universal among the crowd by any
means, calling out, " you have murdered our Queen,
you bloody Piccadilly butchers," at the same time a vol-
ley of stones was thrown at the Life Guards, who rode
past at the side of the funeral, as well as at the corpo-
ral's guard opposite the gate, and fairly drove them
from that position ; they quietly marched over to the
opposite side of the road, then faced about, fronting
Lord Dudley's house, and remained in that position,
notwithstanding the vollies of stones which continued
to be thrown at them until the hearse passed between
them and the mob, when they joined the procession and
went on towards Cumberland-gate, the mob still follow-
ed, pelting them with stones until 1 lost sight of the
procession; at half past twelve I heard a firing which
continued I think a minute and a half, perhaps two mi-
nutes, and 1 observed " the Life Guards oan stand it no
longer."—(Objected to.) tS

Witness—l only wished to state it as I set it out in
any depositions.

By Mr. A ooLenus—Wbat waa- the conduct of the
soh iery never saw men behave so -coolly, so or-
derly„ or so humanely.
By a Jarqe=4 said the corporal's guard remained
from eleven ,olclock opposite my house, until they were
dislodged by the voilies of stones when the hearse
came up; I can positively state they never changed
their position until the hearse came ap, and I will give
the reason—the attack *pon the corporal's guard was
made by the mob that accompanied the fullers' up the
lane, consequently it did not last more than a minute
or so ; the hearse was travelling, when going past my
'house, occasionally at a quick walk, and occasionally
standing still ; I can't swear that I did not see it in a
trot ; it might have been that about a quarter of an
hour before the procession came up; the soldier's
,horses were ranged ill order near the railing of the
Park wall, with their heads towards Lord Dudley's
louse ; it is probable they were, but they afterwards
changed their position, when they took the position I
first described ; my house is nearly opposite Grosvenor-
gate ; it is nearer Oxford-street them Piccadilly ; I
could not from that see what passed in Piccadilly ; the
Riding-house is nearer to Piccadilly than my house;
I first saw, I think, the procession when between the
Riding-house and Lord Breadalbane's; I don't know
at what pace the procession came from Piccadilly to
the Riding-house ; I could net swear I saw it gallop
from my house to Cumberland-gate ; I did not see it
all the way ; it was a quarter of an hour from the time
I saw it until the firing began, I can't swear it did
not gallop any part of the way.
The depositions were then read over to the witness,
and he added in explanation, that the volley of stones
which he saw thrown by the mob who accompanied the
hearse, was not thrown by the whole mob, but by about
13 or 20 persons.

The nett witness was Colonel Cavendish—l was
present at the inspection of the Life Guards on the
21st, by some of the witnesses ; I saw a person there
who gave his name to Mr. Birnie, or one of the Ma-
gistrates, as Spratt, a witness ; he went down all the
lines, in front of the lines once, and upon coming to
the end of them, requested to be allowed to go back
again in order to see an officer whom he believed to be
the man who shot Honey; as other witnesses bad been
aUowed to do the same, he was allowed to go back to
the first line again; he stopt at the second officer on
his left hand, whose name is Walrond, he is a Sub-
Lieutenant; after looking at him a moment, he passed
on to another, I rather believe the next, be slept,
walked past him, looked at bim, and returned again,
his name is Locke; he passed by him again, with his
eyes fixed upon him, then made some sort of motion
with his head and arm, which appeared to me to sig-
nify th he could not make up his mind whether that
was tl an. Lieutenant Gore was in the same line
.mice r down; I cannot say according to my re-
that Spratt stopt or made any particular
respecting Lieutenant Gore ; I am per-
II acquainted with the persons of Lieute-
na alrond and Locke. Neither they nor Lieu-
ten re, to my knowledge, painted their cheeks on
that . The two former have fresh complexions; but
but as tipaint, I should be ashamed of the regiment if
any °Slifer could condescend to use it. On the morning
after the Queen's funeral, Lieut. Gore was on the Church
parade at Hyde-park barracks; I marched him off, with
the remainder of the regiment, to the riding-school,
where the Church service is performed ; that was a few
minutes after eleven. Divine service would be over in
about.Vf an hour; I did not see Lieut. Gore any more
that dry, to my recollection. The King's guards were
relieved that morning from the Horse guards by the

By Mr. Blakie .I have no knowledge •of- Lieut.

mounts guard cannot exchange duty or go off the
guard, without permission of the Silver Stick, who
is the General Field Officer of the King's Guards. I
have never been examined before by Mr. Adolphus,
except at a Court Martial. He never examined me be-
fore on the subject of this Inquest.
Witness's evidence was read over, and signed by him.
Mr. ADOLPHU6 said that he should call two more
witnesses, Lieut. Lock and Lieut. Walrond, and he
should then close his cue.

William Lock examined—l am Sub-Lieutenant in the
Ist Regiment of Guards ; I was drawn out for inspection
on the 21st of August; 1 used no contrivance or ar-
rangement to cause people to mistake my person for
that of lietit. Gore, or Lieut. Gore's for mine; I used
no art or contrivance whatever to change my counts-
nancn; upon my oath I used no paint on that occasion;
I had more colour then than I have now, for I have
been on my couch since last Sunday week, in conse-
quence of a blow which I received from a brickbat.
By Mr. Blakie—l have no knowledge of Lieut. (lore

Witness signed his deposition ; and

. •

Lieut. Bettell Walrond was next called and exemined
—I am a Sub-Limitimant in the Ist Regiment of Guards;
1 was drawn out for inspection on the 41st of August;
I certainly did not, by painting or any other contriv-
ance, endeavour to alter my appearance on that day.
By Mr. Blakie—l have no knowlede of Lieut. Gore
going on duty by mistake since the 14th.
Mr. AnoLruus announced to the Coroner that he now
closed his case.
Lieut. Hall was called bat not sworn, as Mr. Adolphus
said it was not his intention to ask him any questions.
Mr. Blakie wished to know, whether, as Lieut. Hall
was in attendance, it would net be adriseable to put a
few questions to him ?
Mr. ADOLPHUS 'said they might certainly make him a
witness if they. thought proper ; -for his own part, it was
not his intention to examine bins. The Jury might now
see whether there was any resemblance between Lieut.
Hall and Lieut. Gore.
Coroner said, that question must be set at rest;
for sufficiently clear that there was not the slight-
estss
Mania. (Lieut. Hall is a young man of dimi-
nutive stature; Limit. Gore is tall.
Lieut. Hall withdrew; and a Juror observed, that as
the examinations were now cloyed. it only remained to
determine to what day they would adjourn.
A long and general conversation then ensued 'on
the subject of adjournment, and the necessity or non-
necessity of having the whole of the evidence read
over. At length it was determined that the Inquest
should re-assemble on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock
in the morning, and that the evidence should be read
over. .

appears to be almost as desperate as among the Sambas

Crux, was hastily dispatched the middle of May on
some important mission ; and several vessels had heft
sent to 'Vera Cruz, to bring off all British property,

passage of the Enter°, which bad been obstructed by
the enemy, and that in cobsequente of 1403 event they

FRANCISCO DE RESIIA.

The Coroner's Inquest on RICHARD Howay, of tit
proceedings of which we yesterday, exclusively, red
a detailed report in oar first and second editions, bas
now reached that important point on which the attee
Lion of the public is concentrated. The examination
of witnesess now appears to be terminated, and the
evidence is about to be read over, at the next meeting,
on Tuesday, previous to the Coroner making his charge
to the Jury, and the Jury proceeding to consider their
verdict. Respecting what that verdict may be, se we
have, during the whole progress of the investigation
deemed it unbecoming to offer comment, so at this ,

alai% more especially, we think it our duty to forbear
to speculate. The points involved in this enquiry are
not merely the finding in what manner the unfortu-
nate deceased came to his death, and finding oat
the person by whom his death was occassioned, bat
ascertaining whether his death was justifiable on the
part of him by whom he was shot, and whether the horri-
ble extremity, to which, in that case, the military re-
sorted, was in all respects sanctioned by the law of
the land, and to be vindicated on the principle of ab-
solute necessity. On these important points, what-
ever the verdict of the Inquest may be, we shall take
occasion to express our sentiments when the ex-
pression may be made without suspicion of isle-
ming the judgment of those who are required to
decide upon the case. In the meantime, on the prim-
Gayle on which we act, of leaving the minds of Jury-
men unbiassed, which is so manifestly just and mend
as to be incapable of dispute, on this very principle.
,we are urged the more to reprobate and expose the
loulacity of those, who in the attempt to collect subeeriP-
dons to reward the soldiery, by whom the deed in ques-
ties wasdone, have most grossly violated this as well as
every principle of the constitution. The efforts of these
men, iendeing coetributions for this purpose, appear
Ito be not confined to London ; and in the Norris

Ate:Tarry we find a correspondent very properly ssi-
madverting in the same spirit with ourselves on a stair-
