THE LEDBURY MURDER. The Worcester
Zerald bas been informed that at the recent trial of Jones
at Hereford, ten of the jury were originally for finding him
and only two in his favour. The same paper says
that Jones's prostration was feigned to some considerable
extent. He has left Hereford for Bristol. _

Advice' from Odessa state that the grain market
has become very active, and that about 91,000 quarters of
wheat, rye, Indian corn, and barley had just been taken for
exportation at improved prices. The wheat will be directed
chiefly to the Mediterranean, the Indian corn to this coun-
try and the corn to the Continent.
THE TRIAL OF DR. SMETHIIRST.—It has been
4.,.rraliged that the trial of Dr. Smethurst for the murder of
Isabella Bankes, at Richmond, shall be resumed at the
Central Criminal Court on Monday next. It will be re-
membered that the proceedings on the former occasion came
.r a premature close in consequence of the illness of a juror.
11. t h 3 not certain that the Lord Chief Baron will again pre-
'Que on the contrary, it is thought that the trial will be
Presided over by the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
Queen's Bench (Sir Alexander Cockburn). During the
interval which has elapsed since the last trial the solicitors
for the prisoner have been untiring in their exertions to get
41) Medical, evidence in opposition to that of Dr. Taylor,
Bad
toethymop exress themselves confident that they shall be
able denstrate the fallacy of Dr. Tayyir's tkeory, on
which Smethurst was committed. The prisoner is not by
"37 means communicative to the 'prison authorities, and
never alludes to the awful charge on which he is detained.
REPRESENTATION OF BODMIN.—Mr. J. H. . Mur-
chieson, of London, has started on Liberal prin.ciples as a
candidate for the vacant representation of Bodmm.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT. TUESDAY.—
A telegram received here yesterday reports the market at
Calcutta as being rather lower in price for cloth and yarns,
in consequence of the heavy arrivals. This news has some-
what affected our market to-day for India goods, to the
...extent only of keeping quotatio a
ns t their previous
Yarns for China and Germany, say in 20's awl 30's, ar.e is
good request, at a slight advance on last Friday's prices,
but the business is checked to some extent by the required
advance. The market generally is very firm, with an up-
ward tendency in yarns and most sorts of cloth.
Liberal party of Norwich have proceeded to the Treasury
for the purpose of procuring a commission to inquire into
the electoral corruption prevalent in the city, of which a
kaleidoscopic glimpse was revealed before a select committee
of the House of Commons a few days since. The depute •
tion did not see a higher functionary than Mr. Brand, who
pointed out that some difficulty existed in regard to the
issue of a commission, as the late election committee did not
• report a prevalence of extensive corruption in the consti-
tuency; so that a commission could not be granted without
a special Act of Parliament. The hon. gentleman also
directed attention to the possible consequences of such an
inquiry. The deputation, in reply, stated that nothing
could be worse than the present state of things. The result
of the interview was that Mr. Brand promised to communi-
cate to Lord Palmerston and the Government the views of
the deputation, who afterwards saw Mr. Bright on the same
subject. The latter hon. gentleman expressed his determi-
nation to insist on a full inquiry, and eventually it was de-
termined that no attempt should be made to obtain new
writs till the evidence taken before the select committee
had been printed for the consideration of the house. It is
not very likely that a special Act of Parliament can be
obtained during the brief fag end of the present session,
especially as the Government evidently oare little or no-
thing about the matter. Next year the interest of the sub-
ject will have evaporated, and probably it would not then be
revived. The Government, no doubt, feel that a commission
wouldinvolve an outlay, of some £5,000, and secure no
particular benefit, as the existence of corruption of Norwich

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1859.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
HOPEWOOD AND ANOTHER V. HOPEWOOD ET AL.

This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the
Rolls, affirmed by the Lords Justices, allowing the respon-
dent a double legacy of £5,000 each under his father's will
and codicils.
Their lordships were unanimously of opinion that the
respondent was not entitled to a double legacy of £5,000,
but a single legacy of £5,000 only under his father's will.
Their lordships altered the decision of the Court below to
this extent, and remitted the case to the Court below to
declare accordingly.

SIR WILLIAM A. CLAVERIN&, BART., 1. ELLISON AND

OTHERS.
This is an appeal from a decree of the Lords' Justices
affirming an order made in the administration suit insti-
tuted by the appellant against the respondent under the
will of the late George Clavering, Esq., of Green Croft, in
the county of Durham, dated Jan. 9, 793. The testator,
after giving certain legacies, bequeathed the whole of his
property to trustees to execute the purposes of his will ; and
he declared that if his son, or his wife, or any of their
children became Catholics, or resided or were educated
abroad, they would forfeit all bequests under his will. The
appellant is the youngest son of his son's marriage, born in
1800, and he alleges that his brothers and sisters have for-
feited all right under the will by education and residence
abroad.

Vice-Chancellor Kindersley decreed that the appellant, as
the representative of his two sisters, was entitled to one-
third only of the estate as tenant in common, and that the
appellant was entitled to one-fourth part of the testator's
personal estate.
Their lordships were unanimonsly of opinion that there
was no forfeiture of the bequests in favour of the appellants,
brothers and sisters, on the ground of residence abroad or
becoming Roman Catholics. It appeared they were edu-
cated according to the rites of the Church of England and
received an English education. Their lordships affirmed
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor and Lords Justices, and
dismissed the appeal with costs.

reading, might not be further proceeded with this session.
SECOND READINGS.
The following bills were read a second time :—Consoli-
dated Fund (Appropriation), Stamp Duties, Customs (No.

On the motion that this bill be read a second time,
Viscount DUNGANNON trusted that the further pro-
gress of the bill would be postponed.
Earl GRANVILLE said he had received a notice from
Lord Cranworth, stating that he had some objection to the
bill, and there appeared to be some weight in those objec-
tions. He would take the second reading of the bill pro
for ma this evening and state to-morrow what course
would be adopted with respect to it.
The bill was then read a second time.
MILITIA LAWS AMENDMENT BILL.

tion of church-rates without an equivalent, from Marl.
borough, Shaftesbury, Warwickshire, Worcestershire,
Kidderminster, and a number of other places
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S
SISTER.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had also received
a number of petitions against any alteration in the law of
marriage, and he felt his duty to say that his opinion upon
that subject remained unaltered and unchanged, and in the
event of any such measure being introduced next session
with such an object, it would meet with his most determined
opposition.
The Bishop of OXFORD said he had heard with great
pleasure the announcement just made by the noble and
learned lord on the woolsack.
Some bills having been brought up from the Commons
and read a first time,
Their lordships adjourned.
