WAREHOUSE.

FINDING OF TU BODY OP LEACEY.—Last week we
furnished full particulars of the fall of the bonded ware-
house in Moor-street. There existed at that time some
doubt as to whether Peter Leacey, and not, as erro-
neously printed, Tracey, had actually perished in the ruins.
That doubt, however, has now been entirely dispelled, fur
on Saturday morning last, about eight o'clock, his body was
discovered in No. 1 room of the warehouse in the Old
Ropery. It was then, for the first time since the accident,
that this room bad been opened. The workmen, on forcing
their way inside, made a general search amongst the wheat,
flour, and rubbish for the body, and, in a very short time,
found it ata distance of about fifteen feet from the entrance
doorway. The deceased might be said to be in a standing
posture, with his head and breast reclining backwards. His
left arm was extended, and his right, which was broken,
rested on his heart. One of the large beams of timber which
supported the floorings lay immediately behind him, and, in
front of him, and pressed up against him, were a large
number of barrels of flour. He was evidently crushed
to death between the barrels and the beam, and, doubt-
less, his sufferings were only of momentary duration.
He was without hat or coat, and was dressed in his working
garments, namely, his shirt, trousers, and vest. On extri-
cating him from the position into which he had been driven,
and wiping away the flour with which he was covered, it was
