Bid yen wee any soldier struck ?—I saw one stick
on the shoulder severely.
Juror.—That is odd, when the stow! were lying
is showers, as you say.
Mr. HANSON.—Do you think the troops fired is
their own defence ?

Mr. (Meet to that.
By Mr. Hasson. -1 thought the soldiers were in
linger. They used to bow down their beads as the
stones Sew.
By a Juror—You could see into the Park, and sot
see what happened ender your own window ?
By Mr. Harmer.—Mr. Francis Humbert and the
waiter were with me at the time in the window. They
were the only persons, and the waiter saw all I
There were several other houses nearer the Geese of
antiou than mine. The first shots were fired in the
and the others horisontallly. There was an ins-
menu crowd, and several were not acting hostilely.
'lle soldiers drove at • trot among the people. I
Omagh* the soldiers acted with forbearance, but if
they went in a walk they would have their brains
knocked out. The soldiers were pelted from behind
by the people on the pavement. I have seen the Del-
dries employed to keep back the people do it by back-
ing their horses.. I have seen soldiers ride into the
people with their horses' beads, at a review at Houns-
low. I swear solemnly that while the hearse was be-
tween Cumberland-gate and Grosvenor-gate, limestones
Were thrown. I saw no one struck by the soldiery
before the stones were thrown.
Between 40 and 50 shots were fired. About a quar-
ter of a minute after the firms; began, saw Hooey
fail As soon as I saw Honey fall I left the window.
I was afraid that I should be shots utile soldiers-Wort
kilns I did sot liar the Riot Act veal.
I•sare no peace-officers there. Ido not know Sir R.
Baker.
Re-examined--If all the shots you saw fired were
fiMd at the people, do you not think but that nose
resold have been killed ?
Mr. Harmer objected to this question, because the
witness did not know how many were shot.
Ihr a Juror—The stones were first thrown nearly
opposite my window. No windows were broken that
I kpew or beard of. The Duchess of Marlborough's
house is 75 yards from where the people threw the
storm. 1 heard no orders given by the officers to fire.
I did not see a gentleman on horseback beside the
gate:" I saw several soldiers struck, but only one
wunnded severely. I saw the stones thrown distinctly.
I could see them thrown from where I was standing
at the time.
The witness having signed his evidence, asked if he
might make his escape—CA laugh)—Mr. Harmer told
1u he might.
Thomas Emans—Lientenant aid Adjutant of the
First Life Guards, sworn.

:rfr. Harmer—The Jury wish to see the Roll of the
men-of the 14th inst. who were on duty at Comberland-
gate-on that day.
Witness—We have so such Roll; we merely order
til•Hmen out on such occasions, and take only the names
of; tire officers.
