This was an action for personal injuries. The company did not deny the negligence, and the case resolved itself into one for the assessment of damages. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Garth, q.c., and Mr. Cromp ton, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Mellish, 4.1. C., Mr. Kemplay, and Mr. Macrae Moir represented the de fendants. The plaintiff is en eminent medical man, practising at Sunderland, and he is also eargeon to the ophthalmic and other hospitals in that town. On the sib August, 1866, he and his wife were passengers by the defend ants' railway from Sunderland by the express train, and on entering the central station at Newcastle the train came into collision. They were riding in the coupe, and the shock was so violent that he was pitched forward, his bead going through the thick plate glass, then on his knees, and backward against the back of the carriage. His head end face were cut in several places, and bled profusely; his eyes flashed fire, be was out under the chin, was very much shaken, and was unconscious for a short time. He was much injured and bruised. He was removed from the station, and was seen by Sir John Fife and Mr. Rain, two medical men ; he had been seen since by several medical men ; the sight of his left eye had been seriously impaired, and it was getting worse. His opinion was that the optic nerve in its track from the retina to the brain had been injured. He had suffered a severe shook to the system, and from its being known, his practice had already sufferedto the extent of between 300 f. and 4001. per annum. He was unable now to perform delicate operations. He was fifty-eight years of age, and he had no hopes of his eye getting better. His wife, after the accident, was prematurely confined. Plain tiff had at the time of the acoideut one of the best prac tices in the town, and he was a moat efficient and able operator. Before the plaintiff's case was finished, the case had to be adjourned, because it was found impossible to finish it to-day (the last day of the sittings), and it was arranged that it should be resumed on the 13th Feb ruary next, if not settled in the meantime. Mr. Justice Blackburn sat in the Second Court, and dis posed of several cases, but they were devoid of general public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-DEC. 23. Sittings at Niai Prins in London.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a Special Jury.) SWANSON V. THE LONDON AND ST. KATHERINE DOCK COMPANY. • This was an action to recover damages for personal injuries. Mr. Serjeant T. Atkinson and Mr. Neemyth appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Field, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy, for the defendants. The plaintiff was a gauger in the customs, and on the morning of the 22nd of February last be was on duty in the London Docks, and was engaged on some casks which were beside a gangway. At this time two labourers were em ployed pushing along the gangway a four-wheeled truck, which had on it a hogshead of sugar, weighing 12 cwt. One of the wheels of the truck passed over the plaintiff's right foot and crushed his great toe. Of *aurae he suffered very great pain, and he was for three months unable to perform his ordinary work. The plaintiff's cue was that he had his back to the truck and did not see it, and that he had no warning of its approach. On the other side it was stated that the men who were pushing the truck saw that the plaintiff was in the gang way, and one of them called out to him when 15 feet away, and again when Bor 10 feet distant. On the second occasion the plaintiff turned round, but unfortunately moved further into the gangway. The men tried to stop the truck, and also to divert its course, but were unable to prevent the accident, which occurred in spite of all their endeavours to avoid it. The jury found for the pleintiff—Dsmageo, 75/. BUSINESS OF FEZ COURT. This was the last day of the sittings in London, and the Lord Chief Justice in adverting to the fact said that it was very satisfactory to know that with the assistance of counsel a very great deal of business had been disposed of during the fortnight that the court, had eat in London. It may be mentioned that the list at the commencement of the sittings contained 138 special and 108 common jury causes, and it appears from an analysis prepared by Mr. Erie, the associate, that of special jm' causes there have been tried 31 ; withdrawn, 37 ; m ad e remanets by the parties, 27 ; stayed, 5 ; commissions , 7 ; no record, 1 ; abated, 1 ; left untried 29.

TUESDAY EVENING, pECEMBER_ 24, 1867. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Charles Leach, watchmaker and jeweller, No. 6, Hart-stre Mark-lane, appeared to answer summonses him with unlawfully detaining two silver tt ai ct g e ' the property of Mrs. last, No. 16, Mark-lane, and her brother, William Bowater. Mr. Beard defended. The watches were taken to Mr. Leach's to be repaired on the 26th and 27th November, but on the morning of the 30th his premises were enter ed, and a large quantity of jewellery abstracted, including the property of com plainants. On the previous evening the shop had been locked up as usual, and the gas left burning, but on the following morning at nine o 'clock it was discovered that • safe had been rifled of its contents, and a skeleton key was found in the lock. Among the missing articles were 36 gold watches, 45 silver watches, 25 gold guard chains, and a quantity of gold rings, sleeve links, &c., amounting in value to between 400/. and 5001. After the burglary Mr. Leach issued bills offering a reward of 100/. for in formation which would lead to the conviction of the offenders. Mrs. Last said she asked the defendant several times to deliver up the watches, but he gave her no satisfactory answer. lie said be would make them good if she would wait, and he also stated that they had been stolen. She was not aware there had been a robbery at Mr. Leach's. She lived opposite to his shop, and on the morning of the 30th November saw no appearance of the premises having been entered. In reply to Mr. Beard, she said she did not know that the police were called. She had semi the bills offering • reward. Defendant was sworn, and gave formal proof of the robbery and as to his having communicated with the police and offered a reward. Wben the complainant called he said he was not disposed to settle her claim then, as he had been advised not to do so until the police saw whether the property could be recovered, but that he would make the watches good. Mr. Alderman Finnis said this was a case with which he could not deal. The property having been stolen, the matter was placed out of Isis jurisdiction, but the com plainants might go to the Sheriffs' Court and suo for the damages they had sustained. GUILDHALL Philip Homy, who gave the false name of Michael Donovan, a soap maker, of 6, Roll's-buildings, Fetter-lane, and Elirkk Brown, living at Lffi, Field-lane, watchman, in the employ of Messrs. Mowlent, Burt, and Freeman, the contractors, were placed at the bar before Alderman Causton charged with loitering about Fetter-lane for an unlawful purpose. Thos. Eveuden, 449, said that morning, about 20 minutes to 1 o'clock, be saw the two prisoners in Fetter-lane, loitering about the corner of Rolls-buildings. He watched them, and heard Benny say to Brown " You are no man not to stick up for your country. You will deny your country for • few pounds." Henny was sober, but Brown had been drinking. Witness said that Brown replied that he had just come from tea. In answer to a question by wit ness, Brown said he knew Henny by sight. Henny said he woe of no business ; he did not know where be lived, and he did not know where he worked. He got the assistance of another constable, and took them to the station-house. Henny resisted, and tried to get away, but some person employed in the Times office assisted in taking him ' and after that he endeavoured to ma. At the station - house he searched them, and foun d on Brown a penny, but nothing on Henny. The latter prisoner accounted for being out so late by saying he went to see a friend, but said he could not tell who it was, nor where he lived. He asked Homy whether he was an Irishman, and he replied, " Yee, and be was proud of his country." Witness was ordered to search him, and he made the remark "You are too late." Witness went to Cleavers's, in lied Lion-street, Holborn, and they did not know him by that name. He watched them for about ten minutes before he went up to them. He found on each of them a stout stick, whtch he pro duced. Aldermen Causton asked the prisoners what they had to say in defeece. It was in these troubled times that he, se a magistrate.. sho watch over the safety of the public, and unless they could give a proper and satis factory account of themselves, be must remand them until he could find out who and what they were. If they could show that they were decent respectablelyoung men, he would not detain them in custody. Henny admitted that he had given a false name, but a correct address, and with regard to the observation be had made, " You are too late," that was addressed to Brown and not to the officer. Brown said that he ought to go to work, and be (Henny) remarked, " You are too late now." Brown said he was a watchman at Means. Mowlem, Burt, and Freeman's, and his tea not having been sent to him he went home to get it, and meeting with Henny on the way he stopped to talk to him. Acting Inspector Chambers said he had reason to believe that Henny was a Fenian, and that if time was afforded he would be able to find out who and what the prisoners were. Alderman Causton remanded the prisoners until to-day. After the case was disposed of Mr. Cleaver informed the worthy Alderman that Benny had been in his service for some time, and that his arm was marked with "F. B." To ascertain the identity of the prisoner hie arm was examined, and on it was found an anchor and " F. B." The prisoner, in explanation of the marks, said that Clay were the initials of Frederick Benson, a former shop. mate of his, and had no other meaning in them. SOUTHWARK; Yesterday Mr. Partridge attended at the India store department, Belvidere-road, Lambeth, and enrolled 200 °Akers and men of that establishment, who were sworn in as special constables. In the course of the afternoon he also attended at the board-room of Bermondsey work house, and upwards of 100 men, chie fl y employed at the neighbouring tanners' and leather-dressers',were sworn in. During the afternoon Mr. Blake, the vestry clerk of Christ Church, attended with a number cf tradesmen, who were likewise sworn in before Mr. Bureham. All the medical officers, students, and employes of Guy's Hos pital also attended, and were sworn In and provided with fruncheons. Thomas Clarke, aged 27 yea ; , deseribed se labrarer, at No. 55 , ler-street, Irmixhall.walk, who stands r e l Sl upon his own confession with having wilfully m red a little girl named Annie Smith, the illegitimate daughter of a woman with whom he cohabited, wee brought up for final examination before Mr. Elliott. Medina evidence having been given that death was the n oak of sintardatices, The emolesedisa wee given, and The prisoner remarked—l have nothing to say, sir, only that I should be very much obliged if I could have an interview with the mother of the child and my sister- I[r. Elliott allowed the interview to take place in the presence of the officers. The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the Old Bailey, and in the coarse of the afternoon was removed to Horeemonger-lane Gaol. OKEBNWICB.. On the opening of the court, cad also at frequent inter vals throughout the sitting, large numbers of persons at tended and were sworn in to act as special constables, in cluding not only those of the well-to-do classes, but trades men and mechanics. Among the first-named class it may be mentioned that three sons of Mr. Tr sill, thepreaidingmagis trate, and the son of tliatev. Dr. Miller, vicar of Greenwich, were duly sworn in, and were supplied with copies of in structions bow to act if culled upon in case of emergency. During the morning the supply of truncheons for the use of those sworn to act became exhausted, but as these are being manufactured at the various government dock yards, more were speedily obtained from the Deptford establishment, and were given to those who had received their appointment. SUSPECTED MURDER IN SEIADWELL. At the Thames police-court, yesterday, Jeremiah Duggan, aged 29 years, and Timothy Donovan, 25, Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Benson charged with the wilful murder of Francis Brown, a glass cutter, aged 21 years, by throwing him into the London Dock and drowning him. The prisoners ars very rough fellows, who have been in custody before for violent & m u lt i . They are charged with drowning a man. It is • singular fact, that while searching for the body of the deceased Brown, the body of a young woman, named Elizabeth Moore, bite of 44, Devonshire-street, was taken out of the water. She wee the wife of • sailor. She had been missing since Thursday night last, and it is supposed, from some expres. 'ions she was heard to utter, that she has committed suicide, Mr. Robert Wagstaff, • aidesman, of Noe. 10 and 11, Spitalfields-market, stated that at • quarter past 1 o'clock on Sunday morning he was coming up New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, and just before he reached the swivel brid ge o f the London Dock which passes over the lock, and isle, continuation of the main thoroughfare, he heard a cry of ''Help, help" proceeding from • man about the centre of the bridge. He looked for ward in that direction, and saw two or three m en standing on the bridge about 10 or 12 yards in advance of him. It was very dark, and be had some difficulty in making out how many persons were on the bridge. He rushed towards the men and saw the prisoners leaning over the railings, and a man in the water just under them, and drowning. He said to Donovan, " Who put that man in the water ?" to which be replied, " How do we know who put him over ?" He asked Donovan to whom the man belonged. Donovan said, " How do we know to whom he belongs?" and asked Duggan, jeeringly, " Who is he ? Duggan said, " I don't know who the —he is." Witness said, " Why did you not try to save the man ? Have you called for any assistance?" Dug gan ma d e answer, "Go to —,"an d treated the affair in • coarse and brutal manner. Duggan also said, "Try and save him yourself." He called out murder and police as loudly as possible, and a poliee-oonstable inside the dock answered him. Mr. Beason—What is the name of that constable! Freestoo, a police sergeant, No. M K. answered this question by stating that the constables inside the dock were not known to those outside. Mr.lVagstaif—The men inside the dock called oat" Who is it, whatis the nutter?" Isaid "Thereiaamanoverboard." I understood the constable inside the dock to say " I am coming." He had to come 40 yards. A polio, constable, 96 /I, on duty outaide the dock came np, and at th a t moment the man in the water mink tor the last time, sad Thomas Gicks, a police constable, No. 396 X, said that on Sunday morning, at a quarter past one o'clock, he was on duty in a place called the Milk-yard, the entrance to which is close to the foot of the bridge in question, and beard a cry of murder and police. He quickened his pace, and when he got upon the steps leading on to the road way, which is on a level with the bridge, he heard the cry of a man overboard, " Murder, police." He ran on to the bridge and saw the last whines and the two prisoners there. Mr. Wagstaff said there was a man overboard and struggling in the water. The man went down before assistance could reach him, and was drowned. He said to Mr. Wagstaff and the prisoners, " Do you know how he came into the water ? " and told them he should require their attendance at the polies-station, and their names and addresses. Duggan said, " I tell you what its, master ;" on which Donovan interrupted him and said, . Don't criminate yourself." Both prisoners said they knew nothing about it. Donovan, on being asked if be had any questions to put to the witness, said, "All he has stated is true enough except one thing. I did not use the word criminate,' I don't know what it means, I told him to bold his tongue." Duggan—Criminate--I don't understand the word Francis Brown, of No. 5, Sun-court, Lower Cornwall street, St. Cleorge-in-the-Eut, said—l am a sail-maker by trade. I have lean the body of my son this morning in the dead-house in Sandwell Churchyard. I last saw him alive at half-peat 12 o'clock on Saturday night. He was then half drunk--eertainly the worse for liquor—but he knew well what he was saying and where be was going. He wanted to come and live with me, and I refused to allow him to do so. He struck me on the face. It was the first time he had ever done so. I went for a police con stable, and on my return he wea l gone . I never saw the prisoners before. My son was a cutter, and in the last year of his apprenticeship. e was in very low spirits on Saturday night, and knew he bad acted wrong. He lodged with a man named Wilcox, He was weeping on Saturday night when I raw him. Robert Stroud, police constable No. 270 K, said the body of the deceased was taken out of the water at ball. past 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. Inspector White said he had no more evidence to offer at present ; and Mr. Benson remanded the prisoners until Tuesday next. was drowned. Duggan went to the end of the bridge, held on by a rail, and put his feet into the water as if he was endeavouring to save the man in the water. I said "That is nut much use now." Dugganabusedmeand said, " Whothe are you, how do we know that you did not put him over ?" Duggan then climbed up to the bridge again and came to us. The police constable said " I must take you all to the station-house." I was asked my name, and gave it directly. I wanted to go to the house I had just left to fetch up a friend who could vouch for my respectability I and the prisoners said " No, don't let him go." I said wanted the police constable to #o to the house 20 yards off where I had been. Duggan said, " No, don't let him go; how do we know it was not him who put the man in?" and pushed against him, and also pushed him towards the police-constable. Another constable then came up, and we all went to the station-house. In answer to questions by Mr. Benson, The witness said—The obscurity on the bridge was very great. I could see • lot of men on the bridge when I heard the cry of help. I caul say for cer tain whether the cry of a man for help came from the man on the bridge or in the water. As the cry of help came I heard the splash in the water. I ran immediately. I never lost eight of the men whose forms I saw on the bridge. I saw no one go away. When I got on the bridge the man in the water had been down once, and he rose to the surface, and with • half-stifled gasp called out " Help" again, and he then sunk and was drowned. It was impossible to reach him without a boat hook or grapnels. Directly I saw the men on the bridge I heard cries of " Help, mercy, save me, oh." They were cries of • man in dietreas. No one could walk into the water from the bridge. Those words first arrested my attention, and they were instantly followed by • splash in the water. ___ _ THE ROYAL LIVER FRIENDLY SOCIETY. About a fortnight ago Mr. Downes, Burgeon, of White-street, Borough, appeared at the Southwark Polies oourt to complain of the conduct of the managers of the Royal Liver Friendly Society for allowing a female to insure the life of a child in their office in London without the consent or knowledge of the parents, and it was ulti mately arranged that the parties concerned should attend at this court, so that all the facts should be gone into. _ _ Yesterday afternoon the parties were present, when Mr. Hicklin, of the firm of Bias and Hicklin, appeared on behalf of the father of the deceased child whose life was insured ; and Mr. Julian, the London manager of the society, attended with their assistant solicitor. Mr. Tidd Pratt was also present. Mr. Hicklin said that he was instructed to appear for Mr. Thomas Brooks, whose child, Anna Brooks, died in November, 1866, of heart disease, and whose life , he bad recently been informed, had been insured for 201. in the Royal Liver Society by a Mrs. Parkinson. the wife of Mr. Brooks' partner, without his °omens or knowledge. As soon as he discovered the unwarrantable conduct of Mr.. Parkinson be proceeded to the office of the society, in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, when he was referred to the head office at Liverpool, and vice versa. Finding he could get no satiefactory answer to his just complaints he men tioned the circumstances to Dr. Downes, who attended his child, and that gentian- an thought the proper course would be to lay the whole of the facts before a magistrate for in veron' as it was quite clear that the society had acted illy the transaction. . Burcham asked if the female was in court who effected the insurance on the child's life, as he should like to hear what she bad to asp about it. A very respectable-looking middle aged female here en tered the witnees-box, and said that her name was Sophia Parkinson and she admitted that she insured the child's life in 1866 for 121. (not 20/. as previously stated in the papers), for which she paid 2d. per week to a collector who called upon her. Mr. Burcham—How came you to insure the child's life? Witness—l bad spoken to Mrs. Brooks while her child was lying ill, and I told her I had insured my mother, sister, and brother in the Royal Liver Insurance Society, and asked her why she did not insure the life of her child. She told me she could not do anything of the kind. I then thought I might as well pay 2d. • week for the child, and if anything happened to her to let her parents have the benefit of the insurance. Mr. Burcham—Before you insured the child's life did you speak to her father ? Witness—l did not. I only had paid 2d. a week for eighteen weeks, and then the child died. Mr. Burchain—After that did you go to the office and claim the money? Witness—No, air. The child died before the rules en titled any one to receive the money. She ought to have paid twelve months, consequent) I never applied to the office about that. Had the child survived the twelve months, I intended to have shown Mr. Brooks the cards, and on his paying me what I had paid he could have re ceived the insurance money, and no one else. Mr. Buroluun—Have you insured other persons' lives in the nine office? Witness—Yes, sir ; an aged mother and my brother and sister, who are so poor they cannot afford to do it them 'elves. My sister is married, and I told her and her hue. band what I had done. Mr. Burcham—Have you insured any one else! Witness—Yes, an adopted niece. I pay for five altoge ther when the collector calls, every week. The collector wen the only person I taw about the insurances. I never called at the offices, or Riffled any declaration or other paper. The oollector's name is Thomas King. Mr. Burcham—This seems to be a very serious charge respecting the society, although it does not oome within the criminal kw. The Society's Solicitor—Mrs. Parkinson, sir, is • very charitable and benevolent person, and pays the insurance money for those parties entirely through charity. We have done no more than what other offices of respectability would do. Perhaps you may not be aware, sir, that she would get none ofthe insurance money. Mr. Burnham—l am sure that no insurance office with the least pretence of respectability would do scything of the kind. It is certainly illegal. Solicitor—l don't _pretend to lay down the law to you, sir. Mr. Serjeant Tlndsl Atkinson was retained by the society to attend and explain the law, but as be is not present I will take the liberty of handing in the opinion of Mr. Bereaford, of the Middle Temple. We put • case be fore him • short time ago, and his opinion was that we have acted with perfect legality. Mr. Burnham , after carefully perasing the document placed before him said Mr. ord . , opinion was dead against the act of the society. Solicitor—ln what way, air? Mr. Burcbam — l shal l not argue anything about it. I have carefully gone through the case you have laid before Mr. Beresford and I say again he is deed against you. The solicitor here handed in declarations made by the managers in Liverpool and London and Mrs. Parkinson. Mr. Burnham considered that the party who took those declarations had no legal authority to do so, but he would not enter into that at all. The clauses in the act of parlia ment limit you to insure sums of money on the birth or death of a member's child. This child was not a member's child. Solicitor—No, air; but the child herself was a member, and this insurance was effected on the death of a member. I say that the deceased child, Anna Brooks, was a member. Mr. Statham—That is all nonsense. You, as a solicitor of practical experience, must know better. Are you pre wed to contradict what Mrs. Parkinson has stated, ! She has given five instances wherein she 111118 paid money to your collector to insure lives not being members of her own family, without any questions being asked or papers signed, or declarations made by her. She says she signed nothing, but merely paid the money when called for by the collect or. Mr. Tidd Pratt here stood forward, and said that, seeing • report in the papers on Saturday morning respecting the society, sad the arrangement to appear - before the court that day, he thought it advisable to be present during the inquiry, and after bearing the eatements made and the Opinion of his worship he should consider it his duty to sport the whole of the circumstances to the proper quarter, when • thorough isvestigation would take place, which the society would be able to be present at, by counsel or otherwise. Mr. Dunham thsoked Mr. Tidd Pratt for his attendance, as the sass was one of peat public importance. Sir Thomas Henry said that would be irregular, and that Mr. Harper might at once hold that consultation. Mr. Harper adopted the learned magistrate's and turning to Timothy Desmond held a whis ppe venation wrth him, who occasionally emphatiullydec in reference to Vaughan, the informer, " The fellow has been a lunatic. He Is too lazy to work, and he wants to get money a t the sacrifice of anybody." After about five minutes Mr. Harper proceeded to cross examine the witness Vaughan, who said— I joined the Feniaa Brotherhood in 1865. The oath was administered to me by Timothy Desmond. I have never been a lunatic. I might have been treated as insane in St. James's workhouse. I have been twice as an inmate, but I can't say that they treated me as an insane man. It is not likely that the doctor would tell me I was insane. The doctor would be the best person to ask that question. Ido not recollect ever being kept apart from the other inmates. lam a Roman catholic. The priest has power to advise us to a right course. According to my religion, a party taking an oath should not break it ; but I am sure I Lave broken my oath to the Brotherhood. I believe Father O'Connor takes part in Fenianisra. I believe all the money got at raffia goes to the head centre for the purpose of buying rifles ; but I have never seen any rifles actually bought. Timothy Desmond is a tailor, English is • tailor. William Desmond is a shoemaker, but the other man (Allen) I don't know at all. It was between half-pass one and half-past two on the day of the explosion that the prisoner, Timothy Demmad, came to me. He told me he was going to blow up the House of Detention. (Timothy Desmond here laughed outright, u though the statement were ludi crous.) He said he found out from Ann Justice when the prisoners would be exercised in the yard. I knew &Reheat the design, but I did not take the least dap to prevent it. Timothy Desmond told me he was going to the House of Detention that afternoon. I did not go myself, because I was rather too busy. I was at home working all that afternoon and I took my work home at seven o'clock that evening. I did not tell any one what was going to be dons. I heard of the explosion that evening at seven o'clock. I should have said something about it if even a reward had not been offered, because I felt so disgusted at the way in which the sot had been done. Sir Thomas Henry—Let that be taken down. Examination continued—As far es information being given to me, of course I sanctioned its being done. I did not give information absolutely for the reward. It was, IA I have said, because I was so disgusted at the loss of life, more particularly about the child the, was killed with glass by the explosion. Timothy Desmond was the only man that told me the attempt was going to be made. He did not tell me how it was going to be effected. He did =Amy that any others were concerned in it. From seven o'clock on the Friday evening in question I walked round Carnaby-street with my wife and mother and then went to bed. I bad conversation with a person about the explosion on the foj. lowing Saturday. That person is not in custody, but he may be, and I shall therefore decline to mention his name. Timothy Desmond had been drinking that day. The witness here signed his depositions. The prisoner Wi ll iam Desmond said it was • fearful thing for an innocent man to be charged with murder. The wit ness knows in his heart and soul that I am innocent. Sir Thomas Henry said that the prisoner would have full opportunity of making any statement be liked at the pro per time. The prisoner Allen (to the witness)—Have you ever seen me at any of these meetings Wituese—Not to my knowledge. Witness (to the magistrate)—l may be kept in this box all day, sir, to answer these questions. Sir Thomas Henry—That's nothing; you must stop there as long as it is necessary. Ann J who seemed very ill, said, in a crying tone, " I have nothing to do with it." Mr. biloan, the house-surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was called, and deposed that the man William Clacton was taken to the hospital soon after the explosion. He was dead. His heart was ruptured and his back broken. Witness believed that some heavy substance had fallen upon him. Ann Hodgkinson was also taken to the hos pital dead. She had a cut extending down the right cheek to the bottom of the ear. There were pieces of glees em bedded in the skull. One of the principal veins of the peek was wounded,and *large clot of blood was in her windpipe,and death was caused mainly by suffocation. I also saw Minnie Abbott. She was alive when brought to the hos pital. Her face was cut to pieces by glue. She died from the shock about five minutes after she was taken into the hospital. She died before she could be taken to the ward. Martha Evans was alive when brought into the hospital. She died on Thursday morning last from chronic bronchitis and emphysema of the lungs, accelerated by the injuries she bad received. Her face was bruised, and her head WA cut. Sir Thomas Henry then asked if any of the prisoners wished to ask the surgeon any questions. They severally answered " No, ' and were remanded for a week. The two Demonds and English asked if they might see their wives. Sir Thoma Homy maid they might, end they were re moved from the dock. PIINIANI&V IN GLASGOW. On Saturday a discovery was made in Cow maddens which has created considerable excitement and no little alarm amongst the inhabitants in that quarter of the city. The wildest rumours prevailed during the day of Mersin of gunpowder having been found in the vicinity of the gasometer, which was to be blown up, and that in the darkness an attack was to be made upon the inhabitants by the Fenian. On making inquiries into the case, it turned out that rumour, as usual, had greatly exaggerated the facts, although they were themselves of • sufficiently vim, and alarming nature. It appears that on Satur day morning • man named Cannily reported at the Northern police-office that • large quantity of telegraph wire was lying in the ashpit in • court at dO, Oarscube lane. This thoroughfare is a narrow lane running from Maitland-street to Port Dundas-road, and the court in question is entered by • steep pamage near to the Mait land-street end of the lane. The court, which is of con siderable extent and very dirty, is bounded on three tides by range; of three or four eery tenements of dwelling-houses, occupied chiefly by Irish people, amongst whom, it is suspected, there are • number of Fenians and sympathisers with the movement; and on the fourth and east side by the high wall surrounding the gasometer, the entrance to which is from Stirling-street. The &Advil in which what was supposed to be telegraph wire was dis covered adjoins this wall, and on the report of the matter being made to the police authorities, officers were de spatched to investigate the case. The policeman, on looking into the ashpit, observed in one of the corners of it, almost against the wall surrounding the gasometer, what looked like an end of • coil of wire sticking through the ashes. It was immediately got out, and on the place being searched, coils of similar stuff were found concealed amongst the rubbish. They were taken to the Northern police-officiejand on being washed, turned out to be finely prepared pate percha blasting rope, similar to that used in mining and other similar operations. There would be about 400 or 500 yards of the material, the greater part of which was made up into coils. It is about an eighth of an inch thick, coated with gutta percha, inside of which there is • lining of cotton containing the powder, with which the line is charged from end to end. When • light is applied to one end of • piece of the line the tire rapidly runs along the whole length with a loud fizzing noise, and being coated with gutta perch* it acts as well in as out of water. About seven teen yards of the line, which is rather thicker than the other pieces, appears to have been teed. It was coiled up when found, but at the time it was fired it must have been loose, otherwise it would have stuck together cm the gutta percha becoming heated. No thing has transpired to throw any light on the motives of the party or parties who placed the rope in the ash pit, but it is suspected that it is the work of some of the members of the Fenian Brotherhood, and that their intention was to blow up the gas work. No gas is manu factured in the place, and, as no men are employed, the work of laying the blasting rope from the ash pit into the gasometer might have been, had it not been for this fortu nate discovery, carried out without fear of detection. Immediately, however, on the mater becoming known, watchmen were employed to perambulate round the gaso- meter night and day.—North British Mail. THIS FZNIANS AND TIM GRL&T WESTERN RAIL WAT.-It is stated that on Saturday the authorities of the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway received an intimation to the effect that the Fearing con templated destroying certain property of the company, either by taking up metals or blowing up bridges. In consequence of this instructions were issued from Pad dington to the superintendents in the different districts to have the line carefully watched, and on Sunday night gangs of men in the company's employ were stationed on the railway. They ware supplied with lanterns and instru ments of defence, and the number of men ou duty were sufficient to effect • speedy communication with each other in the event of any attack. No attempt, however, to destroy the company's property was made, but it Is in tended to continue the precautionary Pleasures. MANCHESTER, Dec. 2.3, Sergeant Maeguire y one of a number of High- lenders in the 72nd Highlanders., a regiment lodged at one of Mears. Birley and Co.'s cotton factories in Blanchester, was on Saturday removed under arrest in consequence of information that he had been communicating with persons known to be connected with the Fenian movement in this city and silo that be had been att em pti ng t o p romo t e Fenianism in the ranks. It was reported that soldiers had been seen in the Fenian funeral procession on the let De cember, but the police had failed to detect their presence, and it was hoped that the report was unfounded. Subse quent facts, however, transpired which show too plainly that even in the midst of the loyal and gallant 72nd High. lenders the dire disease of Fenianism has been discovered. The officers of the regiment, with a praiseworthy vigilance which cannot be too highly co/amended, and which is ohs racteristic of the true military discipline of the High landers, have for some week, past, from communica tions they have received and from events which have occurred under their own notice, kept up a moat searching inquiry as to the habits and connection' of their men. The result has been the discovery that a man, who, by reason of his activity, iateDigence, and general steadi ness of bearing, had raised himself to the rank of sergeant, was discovered to have unfortunately and unmistakeably connected himself with Feniani s m. Th e reg i men t, th oug h by origin and by name • Scotch regiment, contains in he ranks men belonging to all parts of Great Britain, although the majority of them are of the Highland race. Many of them in very responsible positions are Irishmen ; but their loyalty cannot and hes not been suspected. Indeed, they are, _generally speaking, a highly-intelligent body of men, and their conduct during their sojourn amongst us has been irreproachable. The regiment is under the command of Major Hunter, and numbers 530 rank and file. The regiment came from Aldershott, and, as is well known, served for many years in India. It was discovered in the course of the investigations that were made that one at least of the men was to some extent im plicated. Measures were at once taken to watch his proceedings, and it was ascertained that several auspicious and unknown persona visited him in the temporary bar racks in the Chorlton Mills, Hulme-street, the property of Meagre. Blelsy. The man referred to is Sergeant Fronds Maeguire, an Irishmaa, as his name would seem to indicate, who was generally respected is the regi ment, had the full confidence of his officers, and there cannot be any doubt that his complicity with the Fenian movement has caused great regret among his comrade' and countrymen. It would appear that for some time past Maeguire has been In the habit of attend ing Ames where those connected with the Fenian move ' ment have been known to assemble ; and it is currently believed that he has been visited at the Wroth. by sante of that conspiracy. It has been ascertained that he had obtained keys, by some means or other, which gave him acmes to various parts of the barracks, and by which means be could admit persons into the premises. It has also been discovered that Alaeguire had given various packets of ammunition to his Motors and that he in other ways identified himself with the Fenian cause. It is also singular to stets that, although a soldier occupying a supe rior position in the midst of loyal men, be has often freely expressed his opinions in favour of Fenianism, and has been repeatedly remonstrated with by his friends in the regiment.. During the excitement of the Fenian trials, at the special commission in this city, he was on duty, and in charge of a body of men at various places, and at the exe cution he was stationed with has company inside the New Bailey whom when Allen, Larkin, and Gould were executed. Up to Wednesday last his conduct was not sufficiently demonstrative, nor had his acts been so manifest as to induce the authorities to take any decisive steps in the matter ; but on the evening of that day suf. finest transpired to justify his being put under arrest. This occasioned no small excitement among the men in the regiment, who, although far from sympathising with Maeguire's views, had a very high respect for him, and looked upon him as a man who was likely to attain a high position among them. Macguire has been connected with the regiment upwards of eight years ; he joined it while in India, and is a man between 2 and *years of age. He is unmarried. The authorities of the 72nd held several in. mine' as to the evidence against Macguire, and it was ultimately decided to commit him for trial by court-mar tial for complicity with the Fenian movement. He was kept under arrest in the barracks until Saturday morning, when he was removed to the military prison at Weedon, under a military eamet, to await his areal by court-martial. THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT CLERKEN- WELL. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS AT BOW STREET. After oar report left yesterday, Mr. Lewis applied that a subprens for Father O'Connor should beamed. Sir T. Henry said that should of course be done at the proper stage of the proceedings. Ann Justice, Timothy Desmond, and Jeremiah Allen were then Owd in the dock with William Desmond and English. James Vaughan was then recalled, and his depositions were again read over in the presence of Timothy Desmond, Allen, and Justice. When that portion of the witnem's evidence was read where Timothy Desmond said, "The trick must be dome, and that O'Keefe and W. Desmond would do the kick for Massey, Stanley, and Corrigan," the two Demands looked at each other smiliig, with an air of William Desmond whispered, ' Did you say that . ,= thy ?" Timothy replied in a whisper, " No, never.' Mr. Harper (who represented Timothy Desmond) asked that he might be allowed to cram-examine the witnesses at the co ncl usion of the examination in chief, se he had been so recently instructed he had not bad time to consult fora minute with his client. THE YENIANISM IN THE 725t4 HItiIILANLEES. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FENIANIS.V. The recent Fenian outrages have induced the authorities to make preparations for ensuring the security of the various government offices in the metropolis against possible injury or destruction. The arrangements made vary at the different offices, and in /owe cases the steps taken are very elaborate and complete. The vigi lance of the government bee naturally been in the first instance directed to the Home-office, and to the pile of buildings of which it forms • part. In additimi to the ordinary precautions taken to prevent or extinguish fire in the establishment, small fire engines have been placed on the bindings, and hoses have been arranged in such • manner that at a minute's notice • copious stream of water could be poured on any portion of the premises. These piecautious, how ever complete in the case of ordinary incendiarism, would be modem in the event of an attempt to destroy the buildings with Greek fire, • compound which only raga with increased vigilance when water is poured on it. Accordingly • tank is now being prepared in the building for the reception of a chemical compound to be used for the extinction of the Greek fire, should any be thrown into the premises. The feeling of the authorities being that the Home-office would be the probable object of attack should any be made, it is stated that a force of ad ditional watchmen has been placed on the premises at night, end should any attack be made in the day the ser vices of the employes would be brought into requisition, while the near proximity of Scotland-yard and the Horse Guards of course insures immediate and efficient aid. In the hall of Somerset House a small party of police have been stationed to protect the building. A number of gen tlemen connected with the public offices have within the last few days been sworn in an special constables. The Admiralty centime to prepare themselves against any eventuality. About 10,0011 special constables have been sworn in, and it in expected that that number will be doubled in a few days. Loatruetioris for their guidance were issued en Saturday by Lieutenant-Colonel C. H. Swart, the officer appointed by the Home Depart ment to arrange the organization of the force. It is understood that the Prince of Wales will come up to town from Sandringham during the week, for the ex press purpose of visiting the sufferers b 7 the Clerkenwell explosion. The Duke of Cambridge, on quitting the hos pital, where he spent an entire day last week, Left 20/. for the benefit of those injured in the explosion. THE FENIAN PANIC AT BRISTOL. —At a special meeting of the magistrates held on Sunday afternoon at the Council-house, under the presidency of the Right Wor shipful the Mayor, Alderman Adams, the various matters of information addressed to the authorities were consi dered. Amongst others was a letter giving a dewmiption of the way in which churches and other buildings destined for destruction were to be marked for recognition by the brotherhood. It was stated that, in order to test some of the statements of the informants, inquii ies had been instituted amongst the various chemists to ascertain whether purchases had been made to any extent of the chemicals employed in the preparation of the famous Fenian or Greek fire. The answers showed that such had been the case, and that the demand for phosphorus bad been considerably in excess of the normal amount. The Roman catholic Bishop of Clifton, the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Clifford, issued a pastoral, which was read at the Roman catholic cathedral and the other catholic churches and chapels on Sunday, forbidding the midnight celebration of mess usually observed on , Christmas-eve, and the clergy in their sermons enjoined ' on their hearers to abstain from joining in any conspiracies against the law. All the volunteer corps, rifles, artillery, and engineers have mounted guard over their armouries, and yesterday many hundreds of those corps were sworn in as special constables. Private citizens also presented themselves in large numbers, so that a considerable force his been enrolled. A letter from the Right Hon. the Seem tary of State for the Home Department was received yesterday by the Right Worshipful the Mayor. The right hon. gentleman expressed his approval of the steps which the authorities bad taken with a view to the preservation of the peace and protection of property, and informed the magistrates that he bad ordered that a detachment of mili tary should proceed to Bristol berruks at Horfield, where they would be at the service of the civil power, should necessity for their services unhappily arise. tinder the influence of the energetic measures taken public confidence has revived ; and it is hoped, although a vigilant super vision of the city is still being kept, that any danger will have passed away. Their CHBAIeCZ BETWEEN ENGLISH AND IRISH AT JARBoW.—At a late hour on Saturday night, East Jarrow was in a state of much elem., arising from a serious con flict between a number of Englishmen and Irishmen. In the affray " morgan rattlers," stones, and " skull crackers " were brought largely into requisition by both parties, and serious injuries were inflicted. It appears that about half-past 11 &clock, • gang of workmen had as sembled at the beer shop of Mr. Branford, and a quar rel arose among them. From words they got to blows, and the police, Sergeant Atkinson and Police-constable Gibbison,were called in to quiet the disturbers. With consi derable difficulty they were got to the door, and a regular fight then ensued. The Englishmen arrayed themselves at one side, and the Irish at the other. With fists and the weapons described, the two parties belaboured each other unmercifully. The efforts of the two policemen to quell the disturbance were utterly powerless. No MOWN was one of the ringleaders laid hold of by the pollee than be was rescued front custody by his party. The officers drew their truncheons and threat in neat and left among the embalmer. After a desperate struggle one of the riogleaders—Pakrick Mawr—was and looked up. A !Dorgan rattier wee also wreathed from the hands of cue of the iroarbatenta. The origin of the disturbance is net known, and probably will not be, until there is an investi gation before the magistrates.—Northern Daily Express. Brazil . packages !

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADPORD, Dac. 23.--i The wool market to-day is again very quiet, and there is little, if any, change from last Thunday. Slow and drag. ging as the wool trade has been through the entire year i$ is even more inanimate at the near approach of Christmas and theholidays. Transactions in wool are more than ordi. narily few and scanty, and to supply immediate wan* which are reduced to the utmost, the stocks of wool in the hands of etaplers is only small. Prices are much the same as last Thursday. The same want of animation cha racterises worsted yarns. Both the home and the export demand is very small. Prices are still irregular. The piece market has been very quiet to-day, and • few order in fancy goods constitute the principal business. Prices, though not materially changed, are tending slightly against the producer. There is • disposition to curtail production still further, and the prospect of • holiday time Is regarded as a great relief, from the fact that there must be a temporary cessation of production.
