.Stli INQUZIT.
. -

Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, Mr. K Press, one of the coroners
for the county, opened an inquiry before a jury on view of
the bodies of the murdered gentlemen, Isaac Jenny, Esq.,
and his son, Isaac Jenny, jun. In the early part of the day
the coroner forwarded to the accused, Rush, a list of the
jury summoned, with a view of arcertaining if h. objected
to any of them. It was returned with four names erased.
Mr. Isaac Jenny was described as 69 years of age, hiss= 30.
The juryq being sworn, proceeded to view the remains of the
deceased, which lay in the drawing room of Stanfield-hall.
Both bodies were stretched on the carpet in the apartment.
Mr. Jersey, the elder, had been shot on the left side, the ball
pulsing through the heart; his eon bad been *hot on the
right aide, the boll passing through the body. The
coroner and jury were then shown by the domestics
the place where the murders had been enacted.
It appears that when the murderer left the hall he threw
down a paper, on which was written, " There are seven of
us all armed, two inside and live out. You servants, keep
in the servants' hall ; if any of you attempt to follow, you
will be shot dead. We are come to take posseesion of the
estate. (Signed) I/lOWAN PRESTON, the rightful owner."
At this stage of the proceedings our report was despatched
to catch the last train, but by electric telegraph we hear that
evidence only relating to the identity of the deceased was
taken, and that the investigation was adjourned till this day

(Ftidiy).

that it was agreed that whichever candidate had the largest
number of votes, that the minority should give way to the
majority, which was maraud, with the except** of one dole-
gat., that being Mr. Richardson, of Leeds. Mr. Cubutt

vour of Mr. Roebuck was carried by an overwhelming ma-
jority, there not being more than fifty hands held up in
