Witness accounts of Cumberland gate and Hyde Park incident
Testimony describes a crowded Hyde Park procession, brickbats and pistol firing near Cumberland gate, patrols under Captain Oakes and Lieut.

Coroner and jurors debate orders, discipline, and who fired first, while witnesses identify a suspected shooter and recount injuries and movements along the route.
