Gordon Gunn, sworn.-1 live at No.. It Charltonstreet, Fitsroy-square. I am a tailor by trade. I was present at the procession at the Queen's funeral. I was not absent from the state carriages five minutes during the whole of the day. I was sitting on the front spring of the carriage. As we came from Hyde-park-corner to Cumberland-gate, the first thing that I saw was two Life-gtiardsmen, ordered by a sergeant, to clear Cumberland-gate. According to his orders they went to the Fate, and as they rode up knocked over several people. lien cries of and " murderers" were..abouted out directly. When the procession came up to the gate; it was stopped about four minutes. There the affray began about opening the gate, and 1 saw two Police officers with their batons endeavouring to open the gate. They did open it. A party oil Life Guardsmen came riding up Park-lane.—Then the Life Guardsmen were riding about keeping the' crowd from the gate: The gate was thoroughly opened and the procession came through. The procession halted about sixteen yards through the gate. When halted, a shower of stones and brickbats came from the top of Oxford-street towards the proceision. Then I saw an (Sfficer of the Life Guards ride up as fast as he could and fire.' I saw the deceased fall when he fired: Before he rode past I got off the state carriage, and seeing the deceased fall another shower of stones came from Tyburn turnpike ; they came in such quantities that it was impossible to tell exactly from what quarter they came.; Then the Life Guardsmen formed a sort of circle in the street. After forming a circle, there was an officer came, and gai-e them the word of command, when they all sheathed their swords, and every man as far I saw, took his pistols and loaded them. They all rode off! towards Edge Ware-road, except two men and a sergeant ; he had stripes on his arm, but I do not know whether he was a sergeant or There were some stones eying, and the three soldiers left there loaded their pistols and rode towards Ox-' ford-street, and one of them fired. Then the cries were to go on with the procession. Accordingly they did. Then a party of the Life Giardsoein that was behind, and the Oxford Bluei came up. s When the Blues came up they all rode away together as fast as they could down. Edgeware-road. The procession came on down Edgeware4oad, and at the first or desecond turning to the tight the Guards were all down that street. I saw no more Life Guardsmen afterwards on that day. . . The CORONER obseitedi that there seemed to be little in the evidence Of this witness, which could throw any fresh light on the subject. Examined by Mr. Brown.—The State coachwas in front of the hearse after it had got through the gate., I do not know whether the officer whom saw fire came through the Park with the detachment: That was the first firing that I heard. I saw the decal-tied fall. He was very near the Edgwate-road towards the toll-gate, on the left hand side towards the Park.
