William Frederick Howe wee then called, aid examined
by Mr. preadergast, and no little interest was =sulfated to
see the individual who had been so vehemently denounced
by Rush in the early part of the inquiry. Mr. Howe inune-
dkosely entered the witness-box, presenting a very =spot
able outward appearesteet little indicatory of the character
awarded him by the prisoner. He said : I live in Marl-
borough-street, Greenwich, and I wee clerk to Mr. Waugh,
of Theobald'e-road, London. In December, 1847, I was in
Mr. Rush's company, at the saloon kept by Mr. Jump, in
Catherine-street, ihrend. There was a conversation 'dal
on about boxing, when a fighting man came in. R
salted who be was, when I told him his name was Bam Efinr-

laddressing the fighting man, " If I could strike like you, I
would knock Jersey down like a bullock." (Searation.),_'-

Prisoner said he did sot think it fair to examine this wit-
ness until be had made some inquiry concerning him. It
was only within the last few days that he had heard of him ;
he could not, therefore, croseexamine him until he knew
something about him.
Judge—Do you wish to postpone the acm-examination ?
If so, you can till Monday.
Prisoner—Certainly I do.
Judge—Very well, I should have thought he did not re-
quire acer-examining.
Alfred Atkinson, a newsboy at the Wymondham station,
proved the sale of Rush's pamphlet at the Wanondham sta-
tion.

Robert Smith, a boy about 13 years of age, examined—
I recollect the period of Mr. Jenny's murder. I know the
way to p from Potash farm to Stanfield-hall. I should go
by the footpath, and thence across the turnip-field. I nat-
tered straw aloug the paths by Mr. Rush's direction. It
was along the fifteen acne, about half way along it, and also
in the wont of theiplacce where it was done. I laid the
straw down on the Tuesday, when Mr. Jeremy was lulled.
It was about noontime. ILA some straw down on the Fri-
day began I saw Mae one else laying straw down oa the
frrilFriday. There was some lying down there when
i

Crom-eundad by the 'prisoner—l reediest workmen
being espied in the turnip-field on that day. You told me
to put down some straw upon the worst places. I was
ing the crows off at the time. I put down about 13 or 14
" forks roll." It was very bad walker at the time. Some
parts of the fifteen acres were quite' . When I
had put dews those 13 or 14 " forks fall I went back into
the next field to keep the crows off. TINTO has boss straw
laid on this pent after harvest, when the pigs came ben

Re.examised Mr. Prendergast—The Mesa acres was

was laid In up to Stanfield Hall. It was a path for these
who lived in Potash to go to fkanibild Hall, bat not for any
one else.
Wm. Butler, a policeman, examined by Mr. Evans—l
went on to Potash farm on the Friday morning after the
murders. I went to Stanfield-hall from Potash, farm across
the fields. I went down "the lotus." When I went across
the:ploughei fields I saw some straw. It was scattered along
the banks of the water.
The witness was re-a:ambled by Mr. Evans, but no point
of the slightest wasequesse was elicited. He made sun
very ludicrous mistakes with regard to the discrepanein in
time between the clocks at Stanfield hall and Potash farm,
that the prisoner joined in a downright hearty laugh, which
rang throughout the court, and which he appeared'headily
to enjoy.
Com-examined by the prisour—l have not been that
way since. I do not know that I saw anything different from
what I saw heron. Ido not know from sty own knowledge
that the straw might not have been there a fortnight. I saw
that there was straw slag the path, but how it aims there I
have no means of ascertaining.

built over the river Avon on his property, which
was still standing, and that the Honourable Julia Judith
Leigh, mother of the present lord, war deceased. That on
the 6th of May lut, a charge was preferred ag .inst the 'pro-
secutor before the county magistrates, that he had been
guilty Of murder, and that an application for a search to be
made in the abutments of the said bridles for the bodies of
Thames Proud, Joseph Smith, George Matthew Billings,
and William Forbes, said to have bees murdered and then
deposited, was grounded on the deposition of Richard Ber-
me, a stonemason, wto was examined before the said
magistrates, and who swore to the 002211litii011 of cer-
tain mardire at the bridge, in the presence of Lord
Leigh, his mother, the late Mr. Jones, and others.
Tne indictment farther set forth that the application was
reused by the magistrates; and ado that Charles Griffin, of
Leamington, attorney, the defendant, knowing the
premises, bat unlawfully and maliciously intending to

the 16th day of July,lB4B, publish a defamatory libel, galled

that suck charges were founded en the suspicions generally
prevalent, and that their publication was for the public good
and for the pennotioa of the ends of justice.
Mr. Whitehurst, stated the cam.
A mama of letters and other documents was road, all
of which bad been exposed at the door of Griffin, calling
Stoneleigh Abbey a ,mhotme. The documents teemed
with 'barges of a most grave, serious, and repugnant nature.
The defesidaat had sot up a press and types himself, being
unable to obtain any printer that dare pried such 'bombe-
hie charges.
Mr. H. D. Cooper, short-band writer, was then called,
and proved the publication of the book by the defendant,
who had sold him a copy on the morning ft was first imbed
tram the prem. He alas produced several placards which
had been exhibited by Mr. Griffin at Leamington at his

ner of kb lentekip. Lady Julia Leigh, and Mr. Jones.
He bed spokes of a man having been hanged fa aa apple-
tree, oat when the body was being taken down by Lady
Leigh and her servant, Sarah Silk (afterwards Mrs. Small-
bones), the rope by which it was suspended suddenly
gave way, and, the body tallies, knocked one of
them down. This was at midnight, and they then
dug a hole, threw hie cap in after the corpse, and covered
him over with the soil. He had gives it out during his
lectures that he, as well as the public generally, entertained
strong inspieioss that the man Barnett, who died soon after
he had made hie extracediaery statement in May last, bad
not met with his death hirly—that Lord Leigh, by hie
wealth, possessed sufficient means of stopping the mouth of
any one who was likely to be a dangerous wit-
ness against him. Barrett's stomach was forwarded
to an eminent chemist for the purpose of being analysed,
but the person who had analyse.' the contents had not
been WWI to speak of the essence or presence of any poison.
The witness also added that the defendant had stated many
times in the course of his lectures that he had no malice to-
wards Lord Leigh—that he " did not wish to hurt a hair of
hie lordship's head." All he wanted wee justice, but Lord
Leigh stood in his path.

Mr. B. Tibbils, Clerk to the magistrates in petty session
for the county, stated that an application in May last
against Lord Leigh and another for murder, was made by
one James Leigh, for warrantsthat search might be made in
eke abutments of the bridge crossing the river Avon, in
Stoseleigh Ahbey Park, in the said county, for the bodies of
Thomas Proud, Joseph Smith, Geo. Matthew Billings, and
Wm. Forbes, stated to have been murdered and there de-
posited. Mr. Tibbita then read the depositions made on that
occasion by Barnett. The substance of this document ap-
peared in the Express at the time, and need not be repeated.
The Right Hon. Lord Leigh was a:mined by Mr. Whit.-
burst, Q.C. He possessed estates at Stoneleigh ; the abbey
he had occupied some years. His mother, the Hon. Julia
Judith Leigh, was deed. His lordship's father's name was
John henry Leigh, who was also dead. There was a
bridge in his park over the river Aro'.

Cries-examined by the defendant. —The Rev. Thomas
Leigh was nachos my father. Thomas bore the surname of
Leigh befonlBoB. I saw lady Mary Leigh when I was quite a
child. I was about 18 when she died. I was born in 1791.
and she died In 1808. I did not wry frequently go to Stone.
leigh Abbey before Lady Mary Leigh died. I went five
or six times. I was not there when the bridge
was commenced. To the best of my recollection I
never noticed the bridge until near its completion.
I was at Stenadgh In 1812, and saw it. I never went to
inspect the bridge in tap rogram I took very little interest
is the bridge. I cannot tell how soon after the death of Thos.
Leigh I went to Sioneleigh. I cannot exactly tel you how
often I was there. I might have been there more than once
in the year alter the Rev. Thomas Leigh's death. I have no
recollection of George Shaw, or Matthew Billinge, orJosept

when the monument was mentioned in the placard. At the
time of Lad Mary's death I resided chiefly at Harrow ; I
was a eehoolbey. I might be sometimes in London. I was
in Wigan to visit Sir R. O. Leigh. I never was there en a
Sunday; and so did not go to church. I did not me any
registers there. I was never in the old vault at Stoneleigh.
I believe the old vault was opened at the time of Lady Mary
Leigh's death. lam not aware it was opened since. I be-
lieve I w.ui at the bridge (the only time I recollect) in 1813,
when the keystone of the arch was put in. Q.—Then ur
lordship never saw any blood there ? (Loud laughter.) Lord
Lehh—Bless you, no.
This, with the reading of the placards, &c., was the case
for the crown.

Air. Griffin then entered upon bit defenee. He said,
among other things, that he bad received evidence of blood
oozing up at the bridge from the expansion of gases. He
should be enabled to show that men had lost their lives at',
that bridge, and when he bad done se, he thought the jury
would not find him guilty. If all the evidence were to tome
out it would be shown pretty dearly that Lord Leigh was
not entitled to the Stoneleigh estates. Register after register
bad been destroyed, and the possession of that estate had
been bolstered up by the money of Lord Leigh. The name
of Lord Leigh had lately become much lauded; be had be-
come the patron of all the public institutsons in the
vicinity. Here the defendant launched into a coarse attack
against the local peens, which wu put a 'top to by the
interference of the learned judge. Barret had not, it was
generally believed, come to his death fairly ; and he asked
Lord Leigh to open that vault, he asked him to open the
bride, and he asked him to bring the troth to light. His
publication showed that he never could have staked 61. on
the lane of the &labs those estates ; nor, in fact, was he at
all interested in the matter. It had been asked
why the monument had not been entirely destroyed. It
was well known that parties never committed wrung
There was always something left to lead to detec-
tion, and if he had the means he could produce 60 witnesses
who had seen that monument, and he even thought he
should be enabled to produce a copy of it. As to Mrs.-Small-
bones being mad, it was very extraordinary she should make
the same statement without deviating scarcely a ward. As
to the bridge costing 10,000 i. to remodel, he could assure
them that he could gad persons in the town of Leamington
who would pull it down and pot it up again, and charge no-
thing fur their trouble. (Laughter.) There was no 'acer-
bity in the placards and other publications which could
amount to malice. He bad taken up the evidence which he
was about to produce before them, purely and honestly. He
had not pandered with his witnesses and the jury would, be
felt sainted, acquit him of the charge.
_ .

Robert Eden was then called foe the defence. He said—
I am a plasterer at Leamington. and worked at Stoneleigh
Churat in 1811. Widow Him cleaned the church at that
time. I believe she is living at Kenilworth. I think in
1823 I worked for Mr. Redfern, of Warwick. I was at work
on the abbey estates at the time it was reported James
Henry Leigh died. I was occupied at the new vault the
same year, before the death of Jame Leigh. He was taken
to Addieetrop, as I learnt from the men who went along
with the funeral. I was at work when he d ed, at Mr.
Hues's, of Cnbbington Heath, and it was then reported that
he had died suddenly.
Defendant—Did you hear any reports about the sluvuds ?
C. J. Wilde—l can't take that.
Mr. Whitelturst—Oh no, my lord, of course we object to

(Laughter.)
C. J. Wilde—l can't take that.
By his Lordship yea know if there has been any
tradition in the neighbourhood as to James Leigh's death ?
I have heard that had made away with himself.
By Mr. Griffin—Have you heard anything more ? I have
heard he never was buried. Did the tradition say what bad
beams of him ? He had gone oat of the country. The r.:-
pert among the kbosrhood was that they had buried
something but not Lord Leigh ; but that they had put

churchyard gate. I saw two men brhiging one of the
monuments oat of the church door. There was only one
of them moved at that time. I heard say the monument
was taken to the abbey, and built into the wall of the wine
vault. I recollect the death of Mr. J. H. Leith, but I never
saw him after he was dead, although I heard he bad been
seen in the Isle of Wight
At the end of this witness's evidence, the case was 'd-
owned till Monday (this) morning.
