the man was on lortebock ; and his bridle broke in the
contest ; mother soldier struck the mum on the bark;
I believe with the let of his sword: I should think
the soldier bad no right to cut the man with the edge
of the sword ; I did Not see the officer strike • man ; I
saw no blood except. upon the faces, breeches, and
gloves of the soldiers ; Is must have dropped from the
sadists ; 1 saw ono soldier struck on the side of the

were Ire or At persons ready to engage with him and
oppose him; I saw a man crossing the read, he struck
at the officer with his umbrella, the officer warded off
the blow, and thiman time struck again, tad hit the
horse behind : the officer turned to see if his horse Rii
wounded. The man danced ales( towards the foot-
way, as if rejoiced at his escape.

nese. Oh ! no. .
Witness resumed—l sow a wounded man, from
whom blood issued ; as be was brought along the pee-
pie cried " shame" and " murder !" The blood was
issuing from the third rib on the right side ; I consi-
dered that he had received a sabre wound, as I was not
aware that balls had been fired. I can't say whether
the person brought throngh the gate by the soldier
was wounded or not. From the action of the swords
persons might have been wounded without my having
seen it. No doubt some of the people Inuit have been
wounded, from the wsy in which the swords were
used, though I should hope not intentionally ; the
men were so surrounded that the engagement was
general.

They were certainly guarisbed in that direction, bill

they had passed Lord Bagot's boos..

Henry Charles Elsgood was next called mid ex•
amined by Mr. Hansom, Jun —1 am a surgeon living
in Park-street,Orestrenor-square ; 1 was in the balcony
at Lord Ilagoes on Tuesday, the 14th ; 1 was there be-
fore the procession came up. &fuze it arrived, the
soldiers on the outside of the gate went within. They
were the Life °nerds, 12 privates, a trumpeter, and an
officer. Immediately on the first part of he procession
coming up to the gate, the first object which struck
me o as a soldier leading a hotee by the reins. There
was a man in black us the horse. 1 observed a soldier
behind the man strike him on the back with the flat
part of his sword ; at that time the people were doing
nothing but hissing sod hooting; the gates were shut
immeiliattgly after the man was got through ; there
was a considerable contention in opening and shutting
the gates, one party endeavonring to open and the
other to shut them; the struggle appeared to he be-
tween the crowilland the soldiers and constables: during
this contention the stones began t.. fly from the people
in Oxford-street and Cumberland-street, at the soldiers
at the gate; in the midst of this, the ten s 'ldlers with
the officer nail trumpeter passed through the gate, and
began to clear the crowd ; I observed the officer io par-
ticular very much stoned; be seer,nl t 3 resent it more
then the relit, and coeseque!stly got more of it by fol.
faiwi‘g the peiriple.egteAsior seseeel stones strike hiral
and his horse ; the whole company was engaged more
or less in dispersing the people... On the street being
somewhat cleared, the first carriage passed through,
and then the hearse, the right band leading horse be-
ing taken hold of by a stranger et the gate. When
the 4 or 6 horses out of the eight were out of the gate,
they were turned down towards St. Giles': by the man
who lie thought belonged to them ; he appeared to go
up ins friendly way, to prevent the horses from danc-
ing about; the street was then very clear ; on the
hearse being termed in a right position, the stones
were thrown with increased violence ; one thing I par-1
ticularly obset.sd was, that a man who appeared to
be guarding the hearse d .or was struck in the stomach
by a stone : he appeared so snitch injured that he could
not get on for souse time ; I saw the soldiers rep atedly
struck at the time the hearse was going through the
gate. At this time about eight or ten of the Lit,.
Gua.tls drew up under Lord [fagot's windoe , and
stood there for two or three minutes, while the hearse
passed towards Elgware-roail ; during the time of
their remaining there, the stones were flying more
than they were before ; even one of the Blues,
in passing. through the gate, was knock. 91 down ; I
saw several of the crowd at this time struck by the
soldiers, I thought with the flat part of the sword. The
hearse remaining at Tyburn-gate, the soldiers I have
mentioned went that way ; the snob seemed very quiet
for 2 or 3 minutes, which led inn to observe to a person
near roe, that they were reading the Riot Act, but in a
minute or two I heard firing ; the first shot I heard was
below the Tyburn•gate, and appeared to be directed to-
wards the Park, as the people there were running away;
there were many persons in the Park then ; I saw two
or three others hots in the same dire:tion, and 1 remem-
ber three shots in Oxford-street; but I did not see all
the shots. After the 6ring the hearse proceeded up the
Edgware-road ; I can't say I saw any cause for the firing ;
think it might have been done without ; there was a
cessation before the firing for two or three minutes: the
soldiers bad grained their point, and I saw nothing to
justify the firing; there were two or MI persons in the
street then, but it had been cleared of thousands. I do
not know what obstruction might have occurred in the
Edgware-road; I could see the Turnpike-gate but not
the Toll-house; 1 could not see the Edgware-road, and
therefore will nut take upon me to state what passe I
there; 'if roues had been flying from the Edgware-road
I must have seen thetn.as the soldiers were in my sight,
but I saw nese. The Blues followed the hearse; I think
there mot have been soldiers in the Eilgware-road ;
after the precession a few of the soldiers returned un-
molested to their station under the house where 1 was,
which led me to observe, " who could think that those
persons who were so lately opposed to each other, could
now be so friendly ?" The people were then patting the
horses of the soldiers. I afterwards saw several horses
in Cumberland-street; the shots 1 saw fired could not
be directed against any persons who offered uhstruct on
in the Edgware-roatl ; 1 saw some shots fired towards
the Park ; the people hail thrown stones before the
soldiers fired, lint there was a ipt-penvion of throwing
before the firing began; when The stones were thrown,
in the previous part, the soldiers were riding about
in all direction'; then eight or ten drew up under
the house of Lord Begot, and remained quiet, but
daring that time they were repeatedly struck with
stews; indeed, I thunglit the forbearance of the sol-
diers retry great at that time; I don't know that any
of the windows of Lord Bagot's lioase were brek.n ; 1
know Sir R. Baker, but did out see hiss thee; 1 saw
so eenstahles bet those who wets near the gate: those
constables had the staves painteil in.** easel on.usner;
a soldier brought a man in black through the gate ;

Here witness's evidence was read over to him. •
A Juror—The shots I saw tired were not fired is the
air ; 1 did not see all the shots fired ! they appealed
to fire promiscuously ; 1 saw no shots levelled, nor did
1 see any fire in the air; 1 saw eight or ten shots fired,.
and I heard several others; 1 noticed that they busd;•l.
fired without taking aim, hut as if to intimidote, and
then they loaded again and fired promiscuously.
Wittiest here signed his evidence, after which the
Jury withdrew for a few minutes.

It sr, then announced to the Coroner that a M•.
Jackson, a Jur}•man, was so ill as to be ttn.tigle I, re-

Mr. Murray, after entering into the customary exami-

which he might probably have to make, be should 'T-

quiretl on the present occasion—(two in 40/. each, anti

charges would come before the competent tribunal, that
he thought until the prosecutions already entered into

The defendant entered into recognisance. to answer
the charge.

MELtsCnntS SrlClDß.—Yesterday morning a most
distressing occurrence took place at the house of Mr.
Mills, grocer, 4,4 Crawford-street, filontagne-mitiare.—
mcs. Jane Wigfold, who occupied an apartment in the
above house, went to three different chemist* in the
neighbourhood, and purchased at each shop half an
ounce of oxalic acid, for the purpose, as she said, of
cleaning boot tops. The persons who served her wrote
on the packets the wore, " poison," upon which Mrs.
W. exclaitnetl, " Von need not take that tronble," anti
then left the shops.—About half an hour afterwards, a
woman, who had been previously engaged, came to
clean the apartment, :And fount' Mrs. W. sitting in a
emir ; her fratares appeared distorted; she complained
of bring very ill, and confess 11 -an had taken the poi-
sonous ilrne, st the same time pointing to the table. on
which lay dime empty envelopes, which had containel
the oxalic asid,also a glass with a sediment at the button.
Time woman called Mr. Mills to her assistance, who
instantly ran for medical aid ; but on his return with
Dr. Barnwell, the unfortunate woman had breathed her
:att. Una of the ;ap rs on the table was identified by
lir. B. as comin;; frosts his shop: another was also
identified to have been bad 'from Mr. Rtsaw almost op-
posite. A note written in pencil was found lying near
the deceased, addressed to Mr. Mills. the landlord, to
the following effect—o My dew Mr. Mills. for tind'o
sake, don't let my property and papers be ransarkei
after I am dead; bait write to ally dear hasbaad, who
will male No London immediately. Direct to W. Wig-
folil, of Sir Roger Belsky, Lawloy Ball, sear Bono,-
apun-Trtult, Dorhysliire."—No cause as opoketared
for her committing the rash act. W sheet 331

pest was to be held on the body this day.
