I.e Vita. ,

nimous feeling prevailed among that class in favour
of a total repeal of the tax; and at a sTecial meeting
of the Warwickshire Association for the Protection
of Agriculture held at Warwick, on Saturday, the
following resolutions, amidst considerable opposition,
were ultimately adopted:—

_ .
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the malt-
tax is detrimental to the moral and physical comfort and
happiness of the industrious classes, and oppressive to
the agricultural interest generally. That the total re-
peal of the malt-tax would enable farmers to use the in-
ferior barley for feeding purposes in lieu of foreigii oil-
cake and linseed, and thereby facilitating the means of
feeding cattle for the consumption of the increasing popu-
lation of this country.
" That, in order to carry out the foregoing resolutions,
this meeting firmly, but respectfully, calls upon the
county Members generally to support and advocate the
total repeal of the malt.tax, as being beneficial to nil
classes of society."

It is probable that other agricultural associations
will follow the example, and Sir ROBERT PEEL and
Lord STANLEY will be compelled to throw these
gentlemen overboard, or yield to their wishes—that is,
curtail the revenue of about one-tenth of its amount,
repeal the Canada Corn Bill, and make the landed
interest, as in the days of Pirr, the supreme arbiter
of national policy. Thanks, however, to the Reform
Bill, and the progress of free trade principles, these
days are gone by. A new race and a new sra have
arisen. The aristocracy can no longer boast of their
pocket boroughs, and Birmingham, and Manchester,
and Leeds, and fifty other influential towns, have
now something to say in the great council of the
nation.

We have laboured very earnestly to produce a
conviction on the minds of others which has long
possessed our own—namely, that the most alarming
symptom in our social condition is the absence of an
efficient principle of distribution in relation to our
unrivalled and perpetually augmenting power of
production. By means of the enormous masses of
capital accumulated in a few hands, we can set on
foot the most gigantic: enterprises, in which, the
money basis being provided, the utmost ascertained
capacities of machinery and industrialLlabour can he
developed to their full extent, and worked to the
utmost realisable profit. Thus it is we see in
England the most delicate and costly articles of
luxury, and fabrics of the cheapest and most inferior
kinds, produced with equal facility. The cotton
printing works, the silk factories, the power-looms,
the mills, continue almost uninterruptedly the process
of incalculably multiplying their various products,
and especially those commodities in the class of
cheap clothing and raiment which are most univer-
sally in demand. A comparatively small per centage
on the enormous capital sunk and weekly wages dis-
bursed by the millowner or the manufacturer, is found
a sufficient ratio of profit to maintain all these great
works and extensive machineries in motion. But the
result is not to " distribute" them among the great
bulk of the population. Least of all do those classes
which compose the industrial community benefit by
the low prices of the articles, of which their own
labour or supervision has keen the main element in
the production. Their wages are so deplorably re-
duced that low prices do not extend to them that
power of purchase or consumption which high prices,
with whatever evils they may be in the opinion of
many authorities clogged, would certainly give to
them. The condition, then, of the industrial corn
munity is an anomaly no less positive than this

extreme destitution, with low prices of all com-
modities and necessaries of life, in place of compara-
tive competency and comfort, under high prices, of
these articles. The explanation of the anomaly
consists in this fact—that the wages of their labour
are reduced in a far greater ratio than the prices of
such commodities. The numbers of hats, caps, coats,
gown stuffs, shirts, blankets, stockings, cotton goods,
may be all infinitely increased, and vastly reduced in
price, but the reduction of price only carries them
readily to the foreign consumer. Our own industrial

classes acquire but a very minute proportion of the
increase. A longer daily term of work, and di-

minished pay for the product, have paralysed their
powers of home consumption among the moat meri-
torious, the most overtaxed, and the most underpaid
body of our native population.

An individual, who signs himself "Mines EMERITUS,"
has addressed a letter to the Morning Post on the
subject of " Currency and Labour," which is a
sensible and well-reasoned paper, so far as it goes,
but which its able writer will pardon us for saying
does not go far enough. It enunciates several pro-
positions as to the baneful effects of Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S legislation on the market of labour, in almost
all of which we fully concur; but, strange to say,
except that it contains one or two incidental
allusions to our " monetary system," it is utterly
silent as to the " currency." This is the more to
be lamented (in our judgment, at least), because
we hold the scheme of currency, established
through the immediate instrumentality of Sir
ROBERT PEEL, to be primarily responsible for
that depression of labour or prices of which
"MILES" complains. His premises are that the
nation is composed of two classes—those whose pro-
perty lies in their labour, and those whose property
consists in money or land ; i.e., the producing and
the unproducing classes. That to the welfare of the
former, as the more important, but the least at
leisure to watch their own interests, an enlightened
statesman will undoubtedly look, in the first place, as
a duty towards those who are themselves the founda-
tion and origin of all wealth and prosperity in the
State. That the latter class, in respect of their
more fortunate condition and superior education, he
may properly leave to take care of their own inte-
rests. But, contrary to the exigencies of these pre-
mises, the legislative consideration and attention of
the Premier, are, according to "MILES," exclusively
devoted to the interests of a section of the latter
class ; namely, the moneyed capitalists —only.
" MILES" next assumes that the fixed, certain
liabilities of the State, amounting, annually, to about
50,000,000/., their pressure on the producing classes
must be inversely as the value of labour compared
to money—that is, that with wages of 2s. a day a
man can with more facility pay a fixed or given
amount of taxation than if he has only ls. a day for
wages. This, too, is very certain; and " limas"
justly infers, that to increase the value of money is
to increase the difficulty of meeting the additional
engagements. No doubt of it. But he might have
as well added that herein, also, is to be noted an
ingredient of enormous iniquity in Sir R. PEEI:B
monetary legislation. With this fired taxation all
other commodities but gold have a fluctuating value,
whether as to the relations between Government and
the people, or the people and the market of the
world ; and consequently they are all directly or in-
directly affected by taxation. Gold alone is, as be-
tween Government and people, estimated at a fixed
value, and the standard of prices as to all other
articles is thus regulated by the fixed Government
value of gold. Now, if instead of this fixed Mint or
Government value of gold, which makes all other
prices cheap because itself is low, gold (already a
free commodity in the open market) were left to
fluctuate in price according to the laws of demand
and supply, like all other commodities, in trans-
actions of all kinds, it would be, like them, affected,
mediately or immediately, by taxation; and the
wages of labour would not be arbitrarily reduced to
the minimum scale, at which the Mint price of gold
has been so unwarrantably as well as absurdly fixed
by Sir H. PEEL. But what would in that case be
the result ? That capital would be taxed. The
capitalist would complain that the nominal amount of
his securities in the hands of the Government or the
Bank of England could not be realised in gold except
at a certain per tentage of depreciation. This is, in
fact, what ought to have been the case, and just
what Sir R. PEEL meant to avoid. The industrial
community, as we have often shown, pay at least
30,000,000/, of taxes out of their diminished wages
—diminished by the natural or gold prices established
by the standard Mint price of gold. The capitalist
gets for his gold, or paper convertible on demand, by
law, into gold,
so much a greater proportion of com-
modities as is represented by the two elements—
first, of the proportion of the taxes, the bulk of
which, instead of the minimum, has fallen on the
producing classes, whereas it should have fallen on
himself and his own class ; and, secondly, of their
cheaper cost to him, the consumer, by reason of the
reduced wages of production which the master or
manufacturer can afford to pay to the producing
operative, from the depreciation of prices caused by
the institution of a gold currency. The Act of 1819, I
and its complement of 1844, are at the:root of the

whole evil. Repeal these; you will have high prices,
high wages, equalised, or rather adjusted taxation ;
and capital will be made to bear its fair share—and
no more—of the public burdens. It is a mere ques-
tion of a tax or no tax, indirectly, upon money ;
when it is no question about taxing all other property
whatsoever. Why should gold money escape from
that slight contribution which the fluctuations of its
market price would occasionally levy upon it, as we
see in the case of all other commodities ? 'Why should
not paper money, the convenience and facilities of
which, on a well-matured and responsible system of
operation, no man disputes, be left to adjust its own
value, according to the de2ree in which it may secure
the confidence of the public ? A system, the expan-
sibility of which must provide the most certain
guarantees against those sudden and convulsive con-
tractions of the general circulation of the country,
which, since Sir ROBERT PEEL'S first experiment,
have been of such frequent and such fatal recurrence;
has, in that single quality, an irresistible claim on
our respect and consideration. But it has the evi-
dence of hundreds of years in its favour. It appeals
especially, for its testimonials of usefulness, and its
powers of multiplying wealth and expanding com-
merce—of consolidating the public strength, and se-
curing the power and permanency of political insti-
tutions, to the stormy trials and brilliant termination
of our last war with the combined Powers of Europe;
to the unprecedented attitude which, in virtue of its
inexhaustible energies, we were enabled to assume
and to maintain, at home and abroad, a rallying point
and beacon for the encouragement of all who came
forward to participate in our victorious struggle
against the colossal force of NAPOLEON. On what
recollections does Sir ROBERT PEEL'S monetary legis-
lation repose for its proud history ? On the neglected
warnings of his father, the founder of his fortune ?
On the bankruptcy catastrophe of 1825 ? On the
desolating ruin which fell upon our mercantile interest
in 1838 ? On the past crises (as the disorganising
shocks produced by his charlatanism are gently
termed); or on those which are yet to come, like
the intermittent fits of a fever, as inevitable as they
are consuming ? Or does he rely on the praises
which posterity will accord to the generous Legislator
who propitiated all the possessors of ready capital to
the support, in 1819, of his own party—in 1844, of
his own Government—by the monstrous injus-
tice of mulcting the whole debtor and industrial
interest of the empire, for the benefit of those who
were mortgage and bond creditors, or interested in
shifting from themselves to others that burden of
taxes which the Legislature imposed, in contemplation
of its being borne by them ?

Accounts from Madrid of the Ist instant announce
that the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies had
been again postponed from the 2d to the 6th, at the
instance of the Finance Minister. This is not at la'
surprising. To make a budget with empty coffers is
no trifling task, and may well require time. The
news in the Spanish papers, both of the capital and
the provinces, is generally without interest, but all
accounts agree in stating that perfect tranquillity
prevails. Despotism, therefore, it appears, suits the
taste of the Spaniards. They are quiet as lambs
under an absolute monarchy; and commit every extra-
vagance, issue pronunciamentos, form conspiracies,
and set law and constituted authority at defiance,
when they enjoy the rights and privileges of freeman.
New Year's-day was observed as a holiday, and
the Bourse was closed.

We find nothing new in the Paris journals, and
most of them are chiefly occupied with disquisitions
on the prospects of the Session. On :Monday, the
Committee on the Address met, when. M. GuezoT,
Marshal Soma', and, indeed, all the other Ministers
fit for duty attended and gave the necessary explana-
tions on questions of policy to which the KING'S
Speech refers. It was reported that M.. GUIZOT had
announced to the Committee that Englama had agreed
to modify the treaties respecting the rig h.t of search.
The debate on the Address is looked forty and to with
much interest, as explanations are expectesd both from
Count AloLs and M. THIERS, which . will show
whether the GUIZOT Ministry is end tngered by
a coalition with men professing differe n t political
opinions, or is threatened from a higher
quarter. A very general belief certainity prevails
that the " Chateau" is not by any means an indif-
ferent or idle spectator in the combinations against
the " Man of Ghent." The Opposition journals,
however, seem to take little interest in the affair,
justly foreseeing that if the KING wishes a change of
Ministry it is for some personal object, am i that the
present policy at home and abroad will be as effec-
tually maintained by MOLE and TILIER.S as by
GUIZOT and SOULT. The National, far instance,
says there is not a whit of difference h etween the
parties. Adverting to an article in the , Tournal des
Debals on the subject, it thus takes a •view of the
policy professed by the coalition, and put s some per-
tinent questions, which it expects to be :answered in
the course of the debate :—" But has not the Journal
des Debuts justice on its side when it demands that
the pretenders should explain what j27stern they
themselves intend to pursue ? This, in fact, is
the only matter in which the oountry is
interested. Will Count MOLE, fOlt example,
engage to take advantage of the text of the
treaties of 1831 and 1833, to denounce t.ihem at the
moment when it will become necessary to renew the
licenses furnished to the cruisers ? We can under-
stand that he should refuse to explain h.;imself with
respect to facts ill-understood, and up: n points of
policy not clearly explained ; but this sub. ject is sur-
rounded with light. Every one knows Iv hat France
wishes. Public opinion, in common with •the Cham-
bers, has declared that the police to be ea trried into
effect with regard to French ships should be placed
under the French flag. This must be d tone. Will
the pretenders to office undertake to do sot ? And if
they do not explicitly undertake to do so, but confine
themselves to declare their intention to negotiate,
vvhat do they promise more than M. GUIZOT ?
And where is the guarantee that they will suc-
ceed better than the present Ministers? Upon
this point, if the journal of Coui it MOLE
does not explain itself, it will be necessary -that Count
MOLE or his friends should explain it -before the
Chambers. As to the affair of Otaheite, nt,t ► doubt we
cannot go back to the question of taking possession
of the island; but if they blame the indv aunity pro-
mised to Mr. PRITCHARD, they may undertake not to
pay it. It would be necessary to state thi explicitly.
.['here is more. They are of opinion th s t the disa-
vowal of Admiral DUPETIT Tumults -is u njust, and
they find the blame inflicted on Lieuten. Int D'AU-
BIGNY unworthy ; the consequence ought to be that
those officers should receive compensation i For the in-
jury they have sustained. This requires to be clearly
explained. These are not, however, the orily matters
to be considered. We should know wheth is.r the suc-
cessors of M. GUIZOT would proclaim pu b licly their
sympathy for that infamous reaction in S pain which
is proceeding to establish a pure counter -revolution.
Will they consent that the French nation shall pass in
the eyes of the Spaniards and of Europe as the
accomplice of MARIA CHRISTINA and of It TARVAEZ ?
The presumptive heirs of M. GUIZOT has 'e already
had the direction of public affairs. They • have per-
mitted the British Consul at Algiers to els ercise his
funtions, by virtue of an exeguatur derived from the
dethroned Bey. Will they longer suffer th i. s insolent
infraction of the rights of nations ? Engle nd protests
publicly, in the face of Europe, against our• le,-;itimate
possession. That she should do so in he r own Par-
liament is something; but that she should maintain in
Algeria a functionary, whose existence then is a per-
manent protest (against our sovereignty), is intole-
rable. We do not wish to speak of the nut, or of
Greece, or of the attempts made by G reat Bri-
tain to confiscate for her own advantage the high
road through Egypt. Upon all these points
the policy of M. GUIZOT has been feeble, inju-
rious, and timid. Having alluded to foreign affairs,
we must refer to certain legislative reforms for a
lung time demanded and discussed in the Chamber,
and which have been the subject of several note's.
Are those to be neglected ? Are the laves of Sep-
tember to remain immutable ? Shall the electoral
laws remain as they are ? Shall the composition of
the Chamber of Deputies not be modified ? Shall the
reduction of the interest on the Five per Cents. be
accomplished ? It should be remarked that we do
not refer to the condition of the operative classes,
which at present occupies the attention: of every
person possessed of a spark of justice, for esight, or
humanity. We do not proclaim our cyst em. We
merely take that of the Parliamentary okposition.

But the aspirants to office should explain themselves;
and if they shrink from doing so, we shall be forced
to confess that they in fact merit the severe epithet
of intriguers, applied to them by the Ministerial
journal."
It was understood that Count MOLE was greatly
annoyed by the imputation entertained in nearly all
quarters that he was at the head of the coalition—in
other words, that he had formed an intrigue to turn
out the Ministry, and would repel the attack on the
very first opportunity. Probably, therefore, he will
be one of the first speakers on the Address.
M. VILLEMAIN'S health has rather improved, but
from the following remarks in the Journal des Debats
there is little hope that he will ever be again fit for
public business :

" It is with the liveliest sentiment of interest that the
public inquires after the health of M. Villemain, and in-
dulges in the hope of soon seeing this eminent man, as
elevated by the qualities of his heart as by the faculties
of his restored to health, to the blessings of re-
pose, to the consolations which he found in his children,
and to the literary works which have rendered him
illustrious. The misfortune which strikes a great
citizen is a public grief, and on this ground no person
could meet with more sympathy in all ranks of society
than the eloquent professor whose language and knowledge
have so long charmed and instructed youth, whose
writings have so much contributed to disseminate and
maintain a noble style of writing, and who, after having
served with glory the cause of education and literature,
devoted himself with so much sincerity to the defence of
oar institutions and our liberties. We are convinced that
so fine an organisation, fatigued for a moment by so
many struggles and so much occupation, will eventually
triumph over the accidents which we all lament so
deeply; and we learn with the greatest satisfaction that
already the calm and intelligent cares with which ho is
surrounded have notably ameliorated the state of the
illustrious patient."

The Augsburgh Gazette quotes a letter from
Athens, of the 21st ult., stating that a bad feeling
exists in the mind of the English Ambassador, not
only towards the Greek Ministers but also the Royal
Family, and mentions, as a proof of it, his refusal to
be present at a grand entertainment which had been
given in honour of the QUEEN'S birth-day, under
pretext that the recent death of her Royal Highness
the Duchess of GLOUCESTER would not permit him to
appear in public.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

A Cabinet Council is appointed to be held at three
o'clock this afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-
street, at which all the Ministers are expected to
attend. Sir James Graham arrived in town this
morning to attend the Council, from his seat,
Netherby. Lord Wharncliffe arrived from Witley
Court. Mr. Gladstone arrived from Wales. Others
of the Ministers also came to town on purpose to at-
tend the meeting. Lords Aberdeen, Stanley, and
Granville Somerset, and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, had previously arrived in town.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice PATTEsorr and Mr. Justice ERLE.)
FORGERY.—WiIIiam Wicks pleaded guilty to an in-
dictment charging him with forging an order for 101.,
with intent to defraud the Union Bank, and was sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment.
SINGULAR CHARGE UNDER THE NEW BANKRUPTCY
ACT.—Thomas Kenrick, who was described in the calen-
dar as a horse-dealer, and who is a most respectable
man in appearance, was indicted under the 32d section of
the sth and 6th Victoria, chap. 142, with wilfully, know-
ingly, and unlawfully neglecting and refusing to attend
the Court of Bankruptcy on the last day specified in the
fiat.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner.
Mr. BODKIN in opening the case for the prosecution
said, that this was the first one that had come before the
Criminal Court since the passing of the Act; that by
that Act the offence committed by the prisoner was a
most grave one, and subjected him to severe penalties;
the Act declaring that if a bankrupt did not appear
on the last day appointed for his examination he
committed a felony. The principal point for the consi-
deration of the Court would be, whether the prisoner had
such notice of the different adjournments that had taken
place as was required by the Act. The Learned Coun-
sel, after going shortly through the facts of the
case, which have already been published at some
length, proceeded to contend that the prisoner
had had proper notices of the different ad-
journments, and that therefore he must be considered
as guilty of the offence contemplated by the Act. He
should be able to show clearly that the prisoner knew of
all the adjournments, and that he went to the Continent
to endeavour to evade them, and that under the new
treaties he had been brought to this country.
Mr. BALLANTIN'E, on behalf of the prisoner, contended
that his case did not come within the operation of the
Act, inasmuch as the non-surrendering to an adjourned
meeting was not contemplated by the statute, added to
which, the indictment was bad, because, although it
stated that the prisoner had had personal, it did not
assert that he had had a written notice of the
adjournment, which the Act required. He (Mr. Ballan-
tine) considered the New Bankrupt Act to be one of the
mcst penal and severe on the statute book.
After some further conversation between the bar and
the bench, both Mr. Justice Patteson and Mr. Justice
Erle stated it to be the impression on their minds that
the indictment was defective, inasmuch as it did not state
that the notices were in writing.
Mr. BonK/N, fter such an intimation from the
Learned Judges, felt bound, on the part of the creditors,
not to proceed with the case further against the priso-
ner ; and
The jury, pander Mr. Justice Patteson's directions,
gave a verdict of Acquittal.
The prisoner, who wept repeatedly during the pro.
ceedings, bowed respectfully to the Court, and withdrew
from the dock. .He has been in prison since the last
session, when his trial was postponed by Mr. Justice
Maule.

The Court then proceeded to hear the Mint case. I
is expected the sessions will terminate this evening.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Hardinge Ackland,
.a well-known sporting character,
was brought up on EC judge's warrant, issued on the
finding of an indictment against him and ten other per-
sons, for keeFiGg gambling-booths at Gorhambury
Races in May last.
Having been indllcted he was, as a matter of course,
sent before a Judge at Chambers.

EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF SHIPPING AT
LIVERPOOL.--Froan Friday morning last up to last night
upwards of 200 vessels have reached this port, the majo-
rity of which have been detained outside by the late
easterly winds. TI ie departures have also been rather
more numerous th an usual, considering the westerly
winds, 31 vessels h 1 tying sailed on Friday, and 23 on
Saturday. The dot ks and dock quays have assumed a
very different appeal ance to that which they exhibited at
the middle of last we ek, and for some time:previously.—
Liverpool Paper of Tuesday.
GREAT INFLUX: O F SHIPPING IN THE RIVER.—
During the last two or three days, between 200 and 300
sail have arrived in the river, which had been kept back
in the channel by th e late strong easterly winds. There
has also been a la.r ge increase of colliers in the Pool.
The arrival of fore igners in the West India, London,
and St. Katharine J Oocks have been considerable, and
the greatest activity is manifested in the several dock de-
partments of the Cm ,tom-house.
DEATH FROM JE tUßNlNG.—Yesterday, Mr. Wak-
ley, M.P., coroner, held an inquest at the Plough public-
house, at a place caller I Ellend, between Cribb's Farm and
the river Colne, on the borders of Hertfordshire, on the
body of Joseph Tucker, a child, four years of age, who
was burned to death at a fire of twigs, which his brother
had lighted in the fields to warm themselves. The
elder brother left the child at the fire whilst he went to
the canal to look at swine boats, and in the mean time
the deceased was b urnt to death. Verdict, "Acci-
dentally burned."
_DISTRESSING ACCI tDENT AT WOOLWlCH.—Yester-
day .'afternoon, while a bricklayer's labourer, of the name
of Mai:'oney, was en/ :ag(.d in carrying slates on his head
to the toil of the Marin el3arracks, now building at Wool-
wich, the riidder on v,i dem the poor man was ascending
broke, precipitating him from a height of about forty
feet, with fricbtful vel ,ocity, to the earth. H. e was imme-
diately reniovecl to th( Royal Marine Hospital, where he
is receiving ever Y attention that the skill and humanity
of the medical ificei .3 can suggest. His back is sup-
posed to be broken
.p Us mother and sister were by his
bed-side, and a Ca lholit
priest administered to him the
last offices of his C hnrch.
The Marquis of Ch olmondeley last week gave
his annual munifi cent don, ation to the indigent on the

ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN THE LAW COURTS.—
Hilary Term begins on Saturday, and by the lists of the
Court of Queen's Bench and the Exchequer, it appears
that the rules for new trials which remained undeter-
mined at the end of the sittings after Michaelmas term
' last number in the first-mentioned Court 120. The first
rule was moved so long ago as Michaelmas, 1842. In
Michaelmas term following there were three which still
remain undecided. In Hilary term last four ; in Easter
term last forty, and four which were tried during the
same term ; in Trinity term last three, and a similar
number tried in that term ; in Michaelmas term fifty
one, and two others tried in the term. There are nine
rules standing for the judgment of the Court, the first of
which, as stated, was moved in Michaelmas term, 1842,
and the last in Hilary term, 1844. In the Court of Ex-
chequer there are two rules for judgment, one moved in
Easter term, and the other in Trinity term last, and in
addition one rule for argument, moved in Hilary term
last. There are sixty rules moved in the last term, and
two granted after the fourth day of the same term. The
special paper exhibits one for judgment and eleven for
argument. The demurrer for judgment was heard in
November last in the case of " Buron v. Denman,
Esq.," in which an important question was raised re-
' specting the capture of a slave vessel by Capt. Denman,
and on which two other rules are pending. In the
peremptory paper there are twelve rules ; the earliest
day of the first rule nisi was in June, and the latest in
November last. The peremptory paper is to be called
en the first day of the term atter the motions, and to be'
proceeded with the next day if necessary, before the
motions.

THE YARMOUTH MURDER.—A rumour was very
prevalent in this town on Saturday evening, that the
hammer with which the fatal blows had been inflicted
was discovered behind a stone in Mr. Catchpole's house,
where Yarham lived when the murder was eornmitted ;
another rumour was that a coat with blood upon it had
been found. These accounts, on inquiry, we found to
originate in the following very extraordinary circum.
stance, which must tend to criminate Yarham to no
inconsiderable extent. On searching Mr. Catchpole's
house more closely since the late examination, and in
consequence of something which transpired there, the
police found behind a door a wainscot panel, with a
number of pegs on it, used for the purpose of hanging
clothes upon. Here it was that Yarham invariably hung
his coat, and at the bottom of the panel was a quantity
of blood, with just the appearance of having been wiped
off the flaps of a coat, when suspended against it, This
panel was taken down and properly examined ; awl the
result leaves no doubt but that the colouring matter is
blood. On the kitchen•door, leading towards the yard,
were also marks of blood similar to what would have
been made by a man with a bloody coat on coaxing past
it. There was also a spot evidently made by the knee of
a pair of trousers ha✓ing, at the time of raaking it,
blood upon them.—Suffolk Herald.
