MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.)

C ORN-EXC HAN GE—WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrival of English Wheat having
been again small, the show of samples to-day was
trifling; nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions
was in a sluggish state, barely, but at nothing quotable
beneath, Monday's prices. The imports of Foreign
Wheat have amounted to 5,300 quarters. Selected
parcels mostly sold at full rates of currency, but all
other kinds were neglected. Barley, the supply of
which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at late
rates. In Malt so little was doing that the currencies
were almost nominal. The quantity of Oats on offer
was small, yet sales progressed slowly, at barely late
rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn commanded very
little attention. In Flour we have no change to report;
the nominal top figure of Town made was 46s per 280 lbs.

ALLEGED MURDERS AT STON,E-

LEIGH ABBEY.

On Saturday last Mr. Jones, solicitor to Lord Leigh,
attended before the magistrates at the County Court,
Warwick, for the purpose of making an application with
reference to the late investigation at Warwick. It would
be in the recollection of the magistrates that, by order of
the justices, copies of the depositions taken in the charge
against Lord Leigh were to be furnished to the parties
on both sides. He had been supplied by their clerk with
copies, and he found that the caption did not correspond
exactly with the charge as set forth against Lord Leigh
in the magistrates' book. His application was, there-
fore, that the magistrates would order an exact copy of
the charge in, the book to be appended to the depositions.
The caption did not set forth the terms of the charge of
murder.
Mr. Tibbits, the magistrates' clerk, said the caption
ran thus :—" The examination of Richard Barnett,
John Wilcox, William P. Roberts, Charles Griffin,
Elizabeth James, Mary Draper, William Jeffs, and
James Leigh, when upon oath before us, James Rattray,
H. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M. W. Heath, Esqs., four
of her Majesty's justices of the peace in and for the
county of Warwick, at Warwick, in the said county, this
6th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1848, in the
matter of an application made by one James Leigh for
warrants that search may be made in the abutment of
the bridge crossing the river Avon, i❑ Stoneleigh Abbey
Park, in the said county, for the bodies of Thomas
Proud, Joseph Smith, George Matthew Billinge, and
William Forbes, stated to have been murdered and de-
posited there."
Mr. Jones said the charge in the book was entered as
follows:—"County Petty Sessions, 6th of May, 1848;
present, J. Rattray, H. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M.
W. Heath, Esqs. Regina, on the prosecution of James
Leigh v. Chandos Lord Leigh and others.—Charge of
Murder.—Application for warrant that search may be
made in the abutment of the bridge crossing the river
Avon, in Stoneleigh Abbey Park, for the bodies of Proud,
Smith, Billinge, and Forbes, said to have been murdered
and there deposited. The application is made on the
joint opinions of three counsel, namely, C. W. White-
hurst, W. Clarkson, and W. H. Bodkin." Mr. Jones
then said it was not the same as the caption, and his
application was that the charge set forth in the book
from which he had just read should be transferred to the
depositions. The caption was not a copy, inasmuch as
an important line was omitted, namely, "Charge of
Murder."
The magistrates granted the application, and the clerk
drew out an exact copy of the charge from the book, and
appended it to the depositions. Aris's Birmingham
