FATAL WAGGON ACCIDENT.—Last evening an in-
quest was held before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on
the body of Mary Welch, aged 79 years. On Tuesday, the
2d inst., the deceased was crossing High-street, Stratford,
and, being very infirm, she did not perceive a waggon, be-
longing to Messrs. Ruffold and Co., carriers, proceeding to-
wards Essex. She was knocked down by the front horse,
and both the off wheels of the waggon passed over her legs.
Her screams alarmed the driver, who was walking on the
near side of the horses, and the waggon was immediately
stopped. The poor old woman was found lying under the
wheel, and when removed both her legs were discovered to
be broken. She was conveyed to the hospital, where she
expired on Wednesday last. Verdict, "Accidental death."
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The ar-
rivals this week are very limited. An advance of Is. to 28.
per quarter is demanded on wheat, but buyers are cautious,
and only a small extent of business is cone. Oats and shell-
ing in fair request at rather more money. Barley is more
readily sold than of late, and makes full prices. In beans no
alteration.
TILE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES AT LEEDS.--
A reward of boo/. is offered for the apprehension and convic-
tion of Frederick, Robert, and William Glover, late of Leeds,
woollen manufacturers and merchants, who stand charged
with the perpetration of divers extensive forgeries, and with
having absconded with the property of their creditors; and
in case of the apprehension and conviction of any one of
them one-third of the amount will be paid. The amount of the
forgeries is variously stated, as exceeding 30,0001., and even
&0,0001.
