knowledge; it was my duty to report the absent ; I
have no documents to refer to, none at all; I can't
say whether any were absent at the next inurniog's
parade.

Barrack-Card ; I can't say whether there was a
trumpeter with them ; I did not see them return ; I
was on duty ; I saw them only when they were dis-
mounted.
Here a Juror observed that the prevarication of this
witness was such that the truth was not to be elicited
from him in this way, and it only remained for the
Coroner to do hid duty.
The Coroner said, the witness did not in his opi-
nion prevaricate. lie could not state what he did not
know, and it appeared that the questions which lie
.va' asked were relative to matters with which he did
tea happen to be acquainted.

Parkins and his servant were in attendance, in order
to lie examined.
A Juror asked Mr. Henson whether he had sum-
mored the Gentleman ?
Mr. Henson said, certainly not.
Mr. Parkins' servant was then called in and sworn.
he Coroner observed, that there was a decorum In
sociel which onght to be observed, and which was
violated by calling the servant first, unless it was the
master's desire.
