SUSPECTED MURDER. AND EXHUMATION
OF THE BODY.

Oimeiderable excitement has been created in East-
ern the vieinity by the circulation of reports that an
mOnWiElem Ellis Head, who died suddenly on the ,
1862, aged 88, bad been deprived of her
life by eafskosans. Mrs. Head was a widow, and carried
on her husband** business. One of her granddaughten, I
named Harriet Dewed, about 22 years of age, lived with
bar as list &linoleum's, and the only other pavan who
slept In the beam was a young man about 24 years of age,
named Stephen Peters, who was employed as a baker; and
these two moot people appear to have exhibited smolders-
hie atteetiment for each other. Os the evening of the 27,b
December, 18 4. the old lady west to bed is her usual good
health, bawds,/ supped off neefsteake and porter. Stamen

Sendemt, st.ted et the fir.t inquest his °psalm was that the

east wee r. 'tonal. After her death Harriet Dowel be-
mime very melancholy, and quits different to her former
disposition At the end of about sin months, and up to the
present isle, she male assertions to the effect that her
grandmother bad been poisoned with arsenic, put I'M
Mr supper porter by Peters, who afterwards took her
keys from bar pock.t, and extracted her mosey box
Mom a drawer, which is supposed to have matained from'
Il to 20s. WMa the girl made this stemma% her rela

ration, and took no notioe of her statements, but placed her
under the are of Dr. Willimns. Oa am occasion she
said Peters bad taken the money out of the hoz sad thrown
the boa into • soil hole, which was filled up soon after Mrs.
Head's death. This was about a fortnight ago, and infor-
mation having been given to the police, the soil-hole was
emptied, god some broken fragments of a bee, of a similar
description t. the money hoz, were found therein. This
tended to confirm her statement. At another time, when
lying down oa her bed, she said to an sack who was with
her, " Oh, uncle, there is • secret ; Hod in heaven will re-
veal it." He sat, "Whet is It, Harriet 1" Sbe replied,

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'ctocx..
The English stock market continues quiet, with
little variation. After improving I per cent., prices
have fallen back to the closing range of
yesterday. Consols mark 901 to 91, and are now
quoted 901 to for money and the Bth of August.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at

at 100; to 101; Exchequer Bills, March, at 21s. to
245. prem.; ditto June, at 19d. to 20e. prem.; and
India Bonds at 31s. prem.
Turkish stock was first marked 891 to 90, and has
since fallen to 891 to 1, being 1 per cent. lower than
the closing quotation of yesterday. Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. are good, at 801 to 811.
Mexican is quoted 211 to 221; Spanish Deferred
Three per Cents., 181 to 191; and Russian Five

The bar silver brought in by her Majesty's ship
Virago and the Tay has been sold at sa. 1:d. per oz.
standard, and the dollars at ss. 0:d. per oz., chiefly
for the Indian and Chinese market. The first-named

We hear If transactions in the Five per Cent. Cm-
vertible 401. Bonds of the Antwerp and Rotterdam
Railway Company at 2 prem.
The half-yearly dividend on Canada debentures is
advertised by Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co.

WIDNIIIDAT EVINIMIL
The English funds showed steadioebs during the
morning, but subsequently became flatter, and closed
per cent, lower than yesterday. Business continues
dull.

Money was to-day in more demand, owing perhaps
in part to the necessity of making the 10 per cent.
deposit on applications for the French loan.
In the foreign stock market the chief feature was
an additional rise of 2 to 3 per cent. in Peruvian, in
consequence of the notification (given in this day's
Express) that the Peruvian government has in-
creased the sinking fund on the Four-and•a-Half per
Centr.to 5 per cent.per annum; end that on the Three
per Cents. to 3 per cent. Considerable business has
also been done in Turkish bonus; but, notwithstand-
lag a large purchase, which caused a temporary rally
to 901, the general tendency of this stock was downj
wards, and the 4 o'clock quotation was 891 to 90.
Buenos Ayres bonds were quoted rather lower,
at 66 to 68. Other descriptions were quiet.

INVALID OFTICERS-COMMISSIONS.

Captain J. PERCY begged to a,k the Seeretary for Wm
whether an °Ear in bad health ins required, before he
got leave to sell his commission. to go before a Medical
Board, which Board must certify, before he is allowed to
•ell, t. the following effect:—" That be dot. not labour
under an impaired constitution, threatening earlier disease
than a person of his age might expect in the ordinary course
of nature." _ _ _

Mr. F. PEEL said the mode in which application was
made by an officer fur leave to sell his commission greatly
depended on the particular eircumstlinces of each case, and
it was therefore impassible to answer &genera: question like
the one jest put to him. He was not, however, aware 'Ca:
• formula of this kind was riquired. Oenerally apoakino,
en officer was cot allowed to dispose of his conimiiiian
when his health was not such as to give rim to • fear that
hir life eou'al not be prolonged.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE PUBLIC PARKS.
. .

Mr. EWAHT wished to inquire of the Chief Commis-
sioner of roblie Works whether it would nut be possible
(if not now, at some fature time), to throw open to the
public, as a portion of the park, tho ground now inclosed
fur private see, and inelcodog a cloosideraVe space of ground
in the *at* of Hyde-park, between the Guard-house and
the Humane Society's receiving house near the Serpentine ;
also, whether the government were willing to submit to
the gracious consideration of her Majesty tt e /sped*/ ncy of
opening bathe publiethe large park behind Hampten-coart
Palace, known as the Home-park, and now devoted each
sleety to the use of the residents in the palace ;
whether the Fountain of Diana in Bushy-park, founded by':
William the Third, wee in process of restoration, as pro-
mised by the government; and whether, as agreed last
year, a large additional number of seats were to be olseel
round all the larger tiees in Kensington-gardens and Hyde,
park for the convenience of the public.
Sir W. MOLES W ORTH, in reply to the first qwstion,
said that a portion of the park now enclosed was used as a
wood garden, and could not be dispensed with, the re-
mainder being in the occupation of the deputy-ranger. This
could Oct be taken from that functionary at present; but
when be ceased to hold slice be (Sir W. Moleeworth) ap-
prehended there would be no difficulty in transferring that
question to,the public use. (Hear, hear.) As to the second
portion, it was not correct that the Home-park was exclu-
sively used by the residents in Hampton-court Palace; the
hot bring that the respectable residents in the neighbour-
hood were permitted to use it. Flute was, however, no
intention on the part of the government to recommend its
being further thrown open. With respect to the Diana
fountain, it was in process of ri,storation, and he was in-
formed would soon be completed. Lastly, a 000siderable
sum of money had been emended in the purchase of seats
for Kensington-gardens, and a number of seats, capable of
aceemmodating 400 persons, had lately been erected.

a small contribution to the energetic prosecution of the war;
but I shall leave it to the country—(sheen)—l shall leave

we engaged in this war, the small assistance which, not the
money, but the credits of England and France would afford
to that ally by enabling him to delend his territory--that
territory the defence of which is the object for which we
have incurred such lug. expenditure, and have made such
immense exertions. (Cheers.)
The committee then mei Med to divide. When the

:acts to the jay, which were as follow :—The deceased was
I in the service of Mr. Rent, the landlord of the Sailor'.
Return, at Kate's-hill, near Dudley. The prisoner, who
paired himself off as her brother, frequently called to see
her, but latterly she appeared to manifest come 512 Willing•

herself from his view; and when reel, cited by her mistress,
to go into the kitchen to him, she said to Mrs. Hut, " I '
don't want to sea him ; he has caused my father and me.
ther many hours of uneasiness." She did not say anything
about prisoner's undue, aor, except in so tar as might be
gathered from the prisoner's statements after the murder,
did the evidence throw any ligt.t upon the motives which
prompted him to take away her life. Early in the morning
of Saturday, the 14th of May, the prisoner went to the
Sailor's Return, and, sitting down in the kitchen, called for
somethieg to drink. Deceased was then cleaning the
room, and two men were also present. The pri
suer had concealed a carbine upon his person,
sod, watching his opportunity, he cEscharged it at t'e
deceased, who only lived a few minutes afterwards. The
prisoner Asada no attempt to escape. When seized by one
of the men present, be exe:aitned, She should have given
me en answer." To others he observed, "I have done
what I came here for. I have had my ge, for gel

superintendent of police that deceased was nut his sister, I
but a young WOOS= whoa he had followed for tea months,
adding, Why 1 did it I will tell no one, but if lam not to
hum her ao see also shall."

The above facts having been deposed to by various wit-
nesses, Mr. Kettle, for the defence, in a long and very aMe
address, urged that the prisoner was in a state of idiotic
inebriety the night previous to the death of the deceased,
sod had drank early on the morn'ag of the 12th, and his life
ought not to depend upon his drunken utterances. Toe
prisoner took the carbine with him for the purptse of load-

self, and it bad gone cif by accident.

ming my husband went out toe ref., leaving me at home
with en!, a penny to provide for mys•lt and three children.
I sat up for him until three o'clock in the niorairg, and
when I opened the dour, I said, " Tom, I knew it was you
by your step." He replied. "Y,P, and when I getup stein, I
will let you know it is." When we got up twits he then
seized me by the throat, and said he would strangle ins
unles• I gave him money. He nearly strangled me. (The
Poor women here exhibited her throat, and the marks of the
harft.l grasp were quite visible.) I escaped into a Leigh
hour's room. la the morning I made some toff e and
bread and butter, and sent it up stairs to him. I
thought by that time be had recovered himself. About
ten o'clock be went out, but returned in a short
time, and at once struck me on the ingot eye (which was
Meet), and under the right ear, and on my left jaw, loosen-
ing my teeth. He also struck me roost violently all over
my body, which is black and blue. He bee always said I
support my father and mother with his wages. Ido not do
so, for it takes all he earns (16.. a week) to support himself
and his children. In the conetable'r presence he said,
" When I'm sober I'll give it her until I cripple her."
Defendant—What she says is true; but I had a right to
chastise her, because she is always telling me tlist my
brother was transported. I wee drunk at the time.

on the way to the station•house, said, " I hope I will have
the full penalty, for that is at present the only way I can
punish her."
Mr. Norton (to prisoner)—Your appearance in that dirty
and ragged state dointes that you have become a monster,
and even worse, for, from your sober language, you bare
turned demon. I have not often inflicted the full penalty,
but you must go for six months to hard labour.

laden authorising the bead direction to sell the shares on
which the calls bad not been paid. It appeared that, ac-
cording to the roles of the company, the defaultinis share.
ho:ders would be liable to make good say toes to the
company incurred by such sale ; that, on the other head,
the shareholder was entitled to any surplus there might be.
rho head direction, however, Witted an advertisement,
stating that unless the calls were paid by the specified time
the shares would be forfeited. Tint time passed without
at villa being paid, but it did not sienna', that the share.
had been declared forfeited, and Mr. Ludlow's c IN still '

shares are now a good property, and the plaintiffs would
realise •considerable sum by their being sold in accordance
with the resolution of the genteel din etion, and they
therefore now sought to obtain a declaration that they are
entitled to have such eel., and also to obtain an injunction ,
apiast the name of Mr. Ludlow being erased from the
register of shareholders kept in London.
Mr. Cairn' having been heard for the plaintiff,
Mr. Foilett submitted that inasmuch as this enntpany
