lowering the top price was mooted, and may eventually
take place. Country flour was unchanged. Barley was
saleable, at fully at much money as before. Choice feed
oats supported former prices, but secondary sorts were 6d to
is cheaper. Beans and peas underwent no material change.

THE ALLEGED POISONING NEAR
LICHFIELD.

Yesterday, the inquest on the body of Mrs. Catherine
Ashmall, the wife of Mr. Joseph Ashmall, of Edrall,
Burntwood, near Lichfield, was resumed before Mr. W.
W. Ward, coroner for Staffordshire. It will be recollected
that the enquiry had been directed by the Home Secretary,
Sir George Grey, and had been adj )urned for the purpose
of a post-mortem examination of the body being made by
Dr. Monckton, of Rugeley, and for an analysis of the
stomach and intestines by Professor Taylor. We have
received from our own reporter a long account of the
proceedings of yesterday, but it will be enough to men-
tion that the evidence of Dr. Monckton went to

show that the appearances indicated biious diarrhma
which might have arisen either from natural
from the administration of medicinal or
poisonous drugs. Dr. Monckton added that the diffi-
culty in the case was that the:death had taken place more
than twelve months ago, but poisoning was quite consis-
tent with the evidence he found. The deceased might
have died from the effects of a narcotic poison. The
coroner submitted to th) jury the report made by Profes-
sor Taylor of the analysis he had made of the stomach

causes

and intestines. The report of Professor Taylor was
