COMMITTAL OP DE. M'DOUALL, TILE CHARTIST.—
The apprehension and examination of MeDouall before the
Ashton magistrates was mentioned in the Express yes-
terday. The witnesses for the defence, which it was stated
had been commenced when our report left, contradicted
only in ec,eral terms the evidence for the pros cuifin, so
far as the lan‘rueste of the prisoner was said to be violent
and seditious. The witne,us were poor uneducated work-
ing men, and they admitted that many of the sentences taken
down by the police were like, or something like, whet was
said. He had told them to organise in classes, like the me-
' the:elide, but they denied that he said anything about
drilling, or practisieg the same drill as the enemy.
The magistrates, after a short consultation, decided to com-
mit M'Douall for trial, at the LVerpool assizes, for sedition,
unlawful assemblage, and rioting.—M'Douall asked if hail
would be accepted, and the mayor said two sureties of 1501.
each, and his own bond in 3001., would be taken.—Four
bondraen for 751. each were afterwards tendered, and their
bail accepted. The prisoner, however was cautioned that if '
he addressed the out-door meeting which it was reported he
had promised to attend that evening in the event of being set
at liberty, he would forfeit his bail in case of a breach of the
peace resulting.—M•Douall asked if he might address the
people outside, and request them to go quietly home. The
magistrates declined to take the responsibility of advisMe
him in any way.—On appearing outside the hall,
on the steps, Le was recognised, and loudly cheered
Ile advised the people, for their own safety and that of
parties who were bound for his appearance at the 'seizes, to
disperse quietly and at once, advice which they almost ins-
mediately acted upon, and all was peaceable ip to yesterday
evening. —Dr. M'Douall, it will be recollected, was tried at
Caester for asi•i ar 11-r-ce 11139, when Barn Gurney
sentenced him to two years' imprisonment. In 1842, at the
riots which resulted from the attempts to bring about a
"national holiday" se a panacea for popular grievances, by
showing the rich how touch they. depended on the labour of
the masses, he was accused of writing a histhly seditious pla-
card, and a warrant was issued. He kept out of the way.
however, and the prosecution at Lancaster againstthroeot
his associates who were not so fortunate as to escape appre-
hension being unsuccessful the warrant was not executed
when he again made his appearance.
THE LEIGH PEERAGE CASE.—An inquest was held
on Monday on Richard Barnett, tie stone mason, who gave
the extraordinary evidence atWarwick inacliarge of murder
implicitirg several members of the Leigh family. It appears
that deceased had been working .at Manchester, but his en.

weeks since in search of new employment, and from the cc to

he took lode inga with a person with whom he was acqu inited.
On the Monday before his death he went to Chowbent, and
returned on Wednesday night. The cause of his visit to
Chowbent is not explained. Ile appeared to have had
drink, and afterwards said he had taken rum, gin,
brandy, ale, and le roT there, bu

ache, and said he should die, but on Friday was ame-
n hat better, and more cheerful. He talked of a farther in-
vestigation into the Stmeleigh case, which was soon to take
lace in London, and said ho s!ould foe the parties " Ike a
lion." On Saturday moreing ti.e laedlord was induced to
go into his bedroom in consequence of hearing a gurgling i
Barnett's throat, and thinking from his appemance that he
was inn fit sprinkled cold water on his lace, but in a few
minutes Barnett heaved a sigh and never moved afterwards.
The country people had heard his extraordinary history, and
jumping to the conclusion that foul play had been resorted
to to get him out of the way, a report of his death was car-
ried to Mr. Rutter, county coroner, at Manchester, who
gave orders for a pool motion examination of the body, and
on Monday the inquest was held. The examining surgeon sent
the contents of the stomach to a chemist for analysis, who
returned them, saying he could find no trace of poison. The
examining surgeon, Mr. 0. Waletenholme, of Bolton, at the
inquest, said he found the whole internal casting of the
stomach much inflamed, but he found nothing to satisfy him
that poison had been used. There was no smell of Any.
Either mercury or antimony would have produced the in-
flammation, but they would have caused vomiting. Any of
the strong acids would have produced inflammation. without
vomiting ; but it they had been taken undiluted they would
have burnt a hole in the stomach. He had formed the opi-
nion that the effects were attributable to drink, and, judging
from appearances, he was of opinion that the deceased had
been an habitual drinker. The verdict of the jury was that
death had resulted from inflammation, produced by intoxi-

eating liquors.
