Did you remain in the room or did you go elsewhere?—I did not remain there; I went into the room above it.
Were there any other persons in the room besides you?—Several.
Did you see the Manchester Yeomanry come on to the ground?—I did.
And form in front of Mr. Buxton’s house?—They formed with their left flank a little to the right of the special constables, and a few yards to the right of Mr. Buxton’s house.
You say to the left of the line of special constables?—Their left flank was on the right of Mr. Buxton’s house.
You saw the line of constables; where did it extend to?—It extended from the door of Mr. Buxton’s house, apparently up to the hustings.
Was there more than one line of constables?—There were two lines of constables.
What was the interval between them?—Near Mr. Buxton’s house and the mob, three or four feet.
Afterwards, the line was closed by the pressure of the mob, expanding again when they came near the hustings?—According to my observation; to the best of my judgment; such is the impression on my mind.
