Was there any other besides those that you saw take up any position on the ground?—None, on the ground.
At this time, was the whole of the multitude dispersed?—It was dispersing most rapidly; I may say dispersed, except in partial spots.
After leaving the hustings, to which part of the field did the Manchester Yeomanry go?—To all parts. I think more behind the hustings, and on the right; they did not come back to me so much.
Do you know the Quakers’ meeting-house?—I have heard where it is since; then I did not know.
Was it that way that they went?—If you could point out, in a plan, the Quakers’ meeting-house, I could tell you if they went that road.
There is the Quakers’ meeting-house, you will see written on the plan?—Some went that way.
Some of the people, too, dispersed in that direction, did they?—The people dispersed in every direction.
I am not sure whether I asked you before, whether from your situation in this window, if any stones, or brickbats, or sticks, had been raised against the cavalry, on their way to the hustings, you must have seen it?—I think I must have seen it.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Hullock:
Will you venture to swear, Mr. Stanley, that no stones nor brickbats would be thrown during the advance of the cavalry towards the hustings, without your perceiving it?—I can only venture to say that I saw none.
