GEORGE. SIBLEY." Charles Lamb, who treated the matter with stoical indifference, on the deposition being completed, said, " All the statement made by George Sibley is untrue." On the Monday after taking the above deposition, a , meeting of the trusters was hold in petty sessions at the  King's Arias Inn, Uxbridge, to consider how the prisoner could be bru.ght to Uxbridge for examination, and it was determined to address the following letter to the Secretary of State for the Home Department : " Uxbridge, Dec. 30, 1844. " Sir,—We are instructed by her Majesty's justices of the peace acting for the Uxbridge division, and who sat in petty sessions here to-d.ty, to enclose fur your perusal a copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correction at Coldbath-fields, to Sir W. S. Wiseman, Bart, one of the justices, and to acquaint you that, in consequence of that letter, Sir W. S. Wiseman, Bart., and Thomas Dagnall, Esq., Uxbridge magistrates, attended at the House of Correction on Saturday last, to make inquiry into the circumstances, when George Sibley, one of the prisoners, in the presence of Charles Lamb, the other prisoner, deposed to on oath, and signed the staterMnt, of which a copy is also enclosed. "John Brill, a lad of about 15 years of' age, was murdered in Ruislip Woods in February, 1837. The coroner's jury, at the inqueSt, returned a verdict of `Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown.' Several circumstances attending the murder stated by George Sibley in his deposition are corroborated by other testimony. Charles Lamb was always suspected of being the murderer, and was apprehended and taken before the magistrates at the time, but the circumstantial evidence against him not being deemed quite sufficient to authorise his committal for trial, he was discharged. " Charles Lamb has since the murder been tried for sheepstealing and acquitted. He was shortly afterwards tried at the Old Bailey, and convicted of felony, and sentenced to seven years' trdnsportation. After having been imprisoned on board the hulks at Portsmouth about four years, he received her Majesty's pardon, and returned to the neighbourhood of Ruislip. He was lately summarily convicted of poaching, and committed in October last to the House of Correction for six months. 'George Sibley was convicted for a like offence, and was committed to the same for a like term.  " The Magistrates consider, that in consequence of George Sibley's statement, the matter of the murder requires further investigation, but submit the whole for your consideration. If you should concur with them, they beg to know whether Nou will issue an order for Charles Lamb beieg brought down here, that the evidence of the witnesses be taken before them, and that George Sibley may also be brought down to give his evidence. The term of Lamb's and Sibley's imprisonment will not expire until about three months hence. " If you should approve of the course submitted for your consideration, will you instruct the magistrates what line of conduct they ought to pursue on the occasion ?—We have the honour to be your most obedient servants,  "
