Baker - I was sworn in Special
Constable previously

Mr Latch and Moses Scard
were with me - About 1/2 past
8 o'Clock I saw Benjamin Gould the
painter in the passage - He was not at
the door - I only saw him there a few

hand side of the door leaning against
door post when the mob came down -

on the part of the Special Constables or

the mob was at the Door - nor any
attempt made to irritate the mob -
I was at the door at the commencement of the firing -
and when it ceased, as I thought
for the purpose of ] reloading, I made my

into the back yard and
