The trial of Mr. Leathern, under the Corrupt Practices Prevention

Act,- took place at York Assizes, on Thursday. The circumstances of the case are too well known to require recapitulation, as they arose out of the last election for Wakefield, when Mr. Leathern was elected, but subsequently unseated by a Committee. The Jury, a special one, returned a verdict of Guilty. Seven other cases-three against Mr. Leatham's political friends and four against his late antagonist, Mr. Charlesworth, and other friends- are yet to come on.
