THE GARIBALDIAN VOLUNTEERS. Donis() the progress of General Gartizawn's brief campaign in the Papal Roman States we were much pressed by numerous correspondents to re ceive offerings of money in support of his enter prise. It was with much regret that we felt bound to decline those requests—a regret which was increased when the friends of the Temporal Power did not scruple openly to collect subscriptions in England to maintain a foreign soldiery in Rome. The time has come now, however, when an appeal may be made on behalf of the Garibaldian volunteers, to which no sound objection can be taken. Many of the brave Italians who fell in the recent en deavour to complete the feedom of their country have loft widows and children unprovided for, and hundreds are suffering from wounds and disease. A Committee, of which the Duke of SUTHERLAND is Chairman, has been formed to collect and apply subscriptions in aid of the sick and wounded, and of the families of those who have been slain. The Committee, as may be seen by the advertisement, is composed of gentlemen of various politics, and as its appeal to the public is made on the broadest grounds, we cannot doubt that it will meet with a genial response.—Daily News. OXFORD, DEC. 3. —ln a convocation holden this morning, the honorary degree of DAM,. was conferred on the Right Rev. George Animus Selwyn, Bishop of New Zeeland, and on the Right Rev. John H.

FRENCH SYMPATHY WITH GARIBALDI. —Last evening • numerously attended meeting of French demo. orate was held at the Cambridge-hall, Newman-street, Oxfordetreet. The placard issued by the promoters of the scheme stated in French that " the sad events which have just been accomplished in Italy render it our duty to convoke a meeting to protest against the swill-civilising policy followed by Bonaparte in the second Roman Gaped'. Rion ." M. Benoit occupied the chair. The following letter from M. Louis Blanc was read :—" I regret my absence from London, and my inability to go there—re tained as lamby a rather severe illness. I would very willingly have been present at such • meeting as you men tion. Besides, every democratic organ has already had occasion to express the reprobation which has been awak ened by the second Roman expedition in the heart of every lover of the revolution and of France.—Fraternal saluta timi." A protest, strongly condemning the French Em peror, having been read by M. Le-Lubez, Mr. Bradlaugh addressed the meeting. Signor Rossini, formerly secretary to General Garibaldi, then asked in Italian for the sym pathy of the Frenchmen present, and denounced the King of Italy and the Emperor Napoleon as having been both in fault in the matter of Garibaldi's recent failure. A lecture in favour of the cause of liberty was next delivered by Citizen Felix Pyat, and the motion brought by AL Le-Lubez before the Council of the Reform League last week, condemning the French intervention in Italian affairs as a massacre disgraceful to humanity, received the approval of those present. DEATH IN A POLICE CELL.—Last (Menu&ll a inquest was held by Mr. Humphreys , coroner, at the ree Tuns Tavern, Bow, relative to the death in a police-cell of Ann Daniels, aged 52 years. Caroline Mansfield, a nurse in the Wbitechapel workhouse, said that deceased bad ben an inmate of that house until Saturday last, when she discharged herself. Witness believed she was one of three persons who were each expecting a third share of a a sum of 16,0001. to which they had lately become entitled Police-constable Townsend, 313 K, said that be found the deceased on • door-step in the Mile-end-road on Saturday evening at 9 o'clock. There was a great crowd around her. As she was asleep and could not be aroused, be believed she was drunk, andhad hartakento thestation-house one stretcher. She was seen by the police surgeon within an hour. Dr. C. E. Garman said that he was called to the deceased, and, believing that she was drunk, ordered that her face shoul d be bathed with cold water. He left word with the police to send for him again if she got worse. There was a mark of a blow or • fall on her left eye and temple. At three o'clock in the morning he was sent for again, and he found her dead in the cell. The post mortem examination showed that her skull was extensively fractured at the base. Whether it had been fractured by • blow or a fall he Gould not say. The fracture of the skull was the 011418 of death. The ecateer having summed up, the jury re turned • verdict, "That deceased died in a police cell from a fracture of the skull, but how her skull was frac. tared there was no OTifteAMl to show." TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REU/ER'S TELKGRAIIB.) THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. (Via Trieste.) BOMBAY, Nov. 14. The preparations for the despatch of the main body of the Abyssinian expeditionary force are being actively continued. No further departure of troops has taken place during the last fortnight. The steam transports England and Queen arrived here on the 10th inst., and some 13,000 additional tons of shipping have been chartered by the Bom bay government. Several steam vessels of 300 or 400 tons, suitable for tugs or despatch boats, have also been taken up. The latest advice, from Zulla state that the route to the highlands of Abyssinia has not been decided upon, but that the Jaranta Pass has been avoided (ladvocated). The diary of Dr. Blanc, one of the captives, has been published in Bombay, and contains the most interesting account of the captivity that has yet appeared. The Governor of Bombay, Sir Robert Napier, and the chief officers of government, are now in Bombay. The governor leaves for Mshableshwar in a few days. The Bank of Bengal has opened an agency at Bombay. In reply to a deputation from the re construction committee of the Bank of Bombay, the governor intimated that ho had telegraphed to the Secretary of State to sanction the Bombay government becoming shareholders. Contradictory reports have been simultaneously received at Bombay from Zanzibar regarding the fate of Dr. Livingstone. One account states that he was recently seen alive ; another, that no hopes can reasonably be entertained of his recovery. A commercial treaty was successfully concluded on the 25th October by Colonel Fytche, the chief commissioner in Burmah, with the King at Mundalay. The Viceroy entered Lucknow in state on the 9th inst. On the 12th his Excellency held a Durbar, at which he invested the Maharajah Maum Singh with the insignia of a Knight of the Star of India. Bis Excellency also received an address from the Talookdars, and delivered a speech in reply. The ceremony passed off well. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 27. Intelligence received here from Zulla states that Colonel Merewether accompanied an Abyssinian chief to Jakondo, and found agood camping ground there, with a plentiful supply of water. Forage, however, is scarce. The Sanafa mute was con sidered preferable. THE DEBATE IN THE CORPS LEGISLATIF. PARIS, Dw. 3, Brum. In the Legislative Chamber to-day M. Chesne long spoke in reply to the speech of M. Jnles Fevre. He maintained that the object of the expe dition to Rome was the protection of a violated right. Now that the crisis had come it was neces ' nary to guarantee efficaciously the existence and the safety of the temporal power. Italy had no claim upon Rome : she could not enter it without committing an act of suicide. M. Chesnelong con cluded that the Roman question bears a European character ; the conference ought not to question the existence of the temporal power, but by an international act provide the means to guarantee it. France ought to perform that duty even with out the aid of Europe. M. Simon denies that the temporal power is necessary for liberty of con science. A catholic Pope protected was equivalent to a Pope a subject. It would be advisable, in his opinion, to separate the spiritual and the temporal power, and to carry out the formula of Cavour, a free church in a free State. M. Latour thanked the government for sending the expedition to Rome. He called upon the government always to maintain the temporal power of the Pope. M. Gudroult saw that whilst at Rome the influence of Roman ideas pervaded the French. Religion was simply in this case a political mask. The Roman question is not a rallying point for all those who re gret the past. Leave the Pope to protect himself, and before the lapse of a fortnight he would have settled everything with Italy. Should the hope be relinquished that the French government should transform itself in a liberal sense, he (the speaker) declared that ho should become one of its most determined opponents. After a protest by M. Benoist against some expressions made use of by M. Gudroult, the Chamber adjourned. The Etendard of this evening says that the adhe sion of the majority of the Powers to the proposed conference has arrived, including that of Russia and of Austria. England and Prussia alone adhere in principle, but make reserves. Belgium and Holland have not yet sent a reply. PRUSSIA. • BERLIN, Doc. 2, ETIRING. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Diet Herr Lsaker withdrew his motion for quashing the trial of Herren Twesten and Frenzel. Herr Lasker's other motion, proposing to assimilate the Prussian constitution to that of the North German Confederation, in so far as concerns the liberty of speech in the legislative chambers, gave rise to a very animated debate, and waa adopted by 188 against 174 votes. _ BERLIN, Dac. 3.

THE FATALITIES OF THE GALE. (BY TELIGRAPH.) _ The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tamar arrived in Plymouth Sound at 10 p.m. yesterday. She has bad 24 came of yellow fever on board and seven deaths during the passage. The last death took place on Nov. 0. Pratique cannot be granted. She has only four tons of coals and seven tons of wood, and could not therefore pro. ceed last night. She will require &supply of 60 tons of coals. The customs authorities have resolved upon telegraphing to the Privy Council for orders, which the Tamar will have to await She brings 57 passengers, 111 seeks of maiLi, specie to the value of 340,00061.,and 1,443 packages of cargo. She left St.. Thomas on the 14th ult., and for the last five days has encountered very heavy weatl•rr There was no yellow fever in t►e island of St. Thomas. but numerous cases amongst the shipping. The deaths on board the Tamar have been—George Pitty, purser; P avid Irwin, seaman; James Nadir, seaman ; and four passengers from the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian line, viz. : Mr. Benjamin, Mrs. Gale, Mrs. Tetley, from Pinion, New Zealand (who leaves • family, and several on board), and John Muachat, The cases on board the Tamar broke out, two on the 13th, five on the 17th, one on the 18th, twoon the 19th, six on the 20th, oneon the 21st, two on the 22nd, three on the 25th, and two on the 27th ult. There are no cases on board at present, sad all the patients that have survived are convalescent and able to appear on deck. Captain Hammick, late commander of the Conway, is among the passengers being invalided. Off the Western Islands the Tamar passed • large ship, the Joven Francisca, Captain Carloda Crnz, under sail, but abandoned. The St. Thomas Tidende's account of the gale describes at length its fearful effects, bnt records the number of fatalities far below the number named by the last advioce as probable. It says:—" We have official authority for stating that the number of burials occasioned by the lass of life from accidents in the town, together with the burials of bodies found drowned in the harbour through the late hurricane, amount up to the present time to 114." The same paper affords the following exact list of the damage done to shipping: The British steamship Columbia sunk in the eastern end of the floating dock, with a full cargo from Liverpool ; the cargo, to a great extent, is now being got out by divers in armour suits. The British steamship Rhone sunk at Peter Island with a poen& of a cargo for Europe, and from 150 to 160 lives lost. The British steamship Wy• • total wreck on Buck Island, and forty-nine lives lost. The British steamship Derwent ashore and serionly injured. The British steamship Conway, on shore at Rhode Town (Tortola), seriously injured, but was got off, and is now in our port. The British steamship Tyne, partly dismasted at Peter Island, but returned to this port. The British steamship Robert Todd, ashore, and seriously injured. The British steamship Solon, dismasted, but bas since gone to sea on her route. The British ship British Empire sunk and disunited on the eastern end of the floating dock, and has sines been condemned and sold for 65 dollars. The British schooner Proctor sunk, and seriously injured. The British ship Onicdphorm gunk, with a part of her cargo of coals ; condemned, and sold for 295 dollars. The British ship Often Gem partly sunk, with • part of her cargo, and four lives lost. PLYMOUTH, Die. 4. It is not believed in the island that any earthquake took place there during the hurricane of Oct. 29. The Tidende also states that " the merchants and the store and shop keepers are almost, without an ex ception, sufferers by large quantities of d►maged goods occasioned by the water that poured into their places after the roofs became stripped of their covering." But the abovatuuned journal adds :—" Mechanics are everywhere busy. However deplorable may be the louses in property, no one can say that actual misery pre vails. None are houseless, naked, or istarving, as sous in their mistaken overseal for us would make it appear. Flour, although high in price, has not diniin imbed the supply of bread ; in fact, all the bakers, with the vxception of one, whose ovens were really injured, pro duced their bread the morning after the hurricane, and so far from any wish to profit by the emergency of the case, instances can be shown where hundreds of loaves were given to those who seemed for the moment to need them. The exceptional bakery we refer to resumed its baking after two or three days. Since then bread is just as abundant in the town as it was before, and therefore what ever may have been stated elsewhere about our bakers has no foundation. We know the losses of our inhabitants are terrific, and it may need years of industry to restore what has been lost within a few hours ; yet as a commu nity inured to adversity it will be borne with fortitude and resignation." Similar views are taken of the effects of the hurricane at Tortola. Although very severe, it did not occasion such a large low of life as has been reported, and while the lose to the inhabitants has been large, there ia not any immediate danger of excessive suffering. The hurricane was felt at Porto Rico and San Domingo, but with far leas severity. At the other West India islands great interest and sympathy had been exhibited for the sufferers in the hurricane at St. Thomas and Tortola.

THE LONDON CABMEN AND THE NEW TRAFFIC ACT: Yesterday nearly all the cabdrivers of London seabed plying their avocation between the hours of four and seven. At the principal railway termini that step, as may be imagined, caused • great deal of inconvenience, but the absence of the usual supply of cabs was taken advantage of by a num ber of persons who earned money by removing luggage, parcels, &c. During the entire of the evening the streets presented a comparatively desolate appearance, not a cab being visible, except in a very solitary instance, during a walk of several miles from the suburbs to the heart of the City. Last evening, at seven o'clock, the cabmen assembled in thousands in Easter-hall, where they held a meeting, for the purpose of offering their decided protest against the clauses is the Metropolitan Street Traffic Regulation Act affecting their interests. The large ball was literally crammed, and the yrooaedings were of the most animated character. A large number of those composing the meet ing mode an appearance as early as 6 o'clock, and the interval between that hour and that at which the chair was taken was turned to account by Noisy knots of cabmen, who angrily and indignantly discussed the manner in which they have been dealt with in the Traffic Bill. Mr. Ceowsa took the chair amidst enthusiastic cheering. Mr. CROCKER, the secretary of the committee, than stated at considerable length the measures taken by that body in opposition to that part of the traffic act aff= cabmen. Ile said that as an opinion prevailed that they wanted a strike he denied that such was the case, adding that they were fully aware what a strike would cost them. They might be subjected to further burthan, but what they could not understand was giving more power to Scotland-yard. (Loud cheers.) It was satisfactory to bear that the public and the House of Commons were beginning to awaken to the fact that cab men were oppressively taxed. The duty question must of necessity come on for consideration , and the payment of 201. a ar for WI. of work was too glaring an injustice to be left further unnoticed. (Cheers.) Mr. BALDING then moved the first resolution, as follows : —" That this meeting declares there is no tr ade taxed so heavily as that of the hackney carriage, who have to pay 181. 5s per year for duty and 11. per year for license for the working of each cab, or every 501. worth of property ; therefore we ask for the abolition of the duty, and subject only to the annual license payable in advance, and that we memorialise the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the attainment of the same." Lord Echo, M.P., here made his appearance on the platform, and on being reccgnised, was greeted with entkusisatic cheering and waving of bats. He was accom modated with a seat next the o haimru. Mr. Commies seconded the resolaticm. and in doing so mentioned es an instance of the heavy taxation which be paid to government that the amount of that taxation was four times his rental. He was in favour of free trade in cabs, and instead of entrusting the inspection of cabs to Sir R. Mayne he would leave that teak to the public, who could select the good from the bad cabs. It was a mistake on the part of • large number of persons to suppose that the best cabs were in Pall-mall and other fashionable parte of the West-end, and that that resulted from the fares paid in those places. Cabmen really did not get at the West-end the increase which it was imagined they received, because when my lord somebody wanted to go from the Conservative-club to Palace-yard, he walked to Cockspur-street, and then drove to the house for a "tanner." (Laughter and cheers.) As a proof of the unremunerative nature of • cabman's occupation under existing law, he wished to mention that in the year 1866 his partner and himself took in 2,7841. 13s. 2d., and spent 2,772 i. lls. 6d., thus leaving 121. to be divided between them at Christmas. He challenged Paris to produce such swift and expert cab-drivers as those in London. (Cheering.) The resolution wasthen putand carried with acclamation. Lord &elm, M.P., who was vociferously cheered, then addressed the meeting. He said he was there because he sympathised with the present movement. He thought the life of a cabman was • hard one, and that his state was not affluent, and with reference to the legislation which was the subject of the meeting, he thought it was perhaps rather hasty and migh4be mended. (Cheers.) What he lad suggested to Mr. Hardy was that the operation of this clause in the Metropolis Act should be suspended until • committee of the House of Commons had gone into the whole question next session. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Those who upheld the free trade view as applied to cabs, stated that free trade in cabs, as in other things, would result in rivalry and competition, which would produce a better Leticia for the public, and cause the character of such conveyances to be proportionate to the pecuniary capacity of those requiring them. They bad not only to consult the requirements of the rich and poor in this matter, but between the two there was • class, the members of which, if they wished to have a good convey. ance to go dinner or meet their friends, must pay 10a. 6d. a night for • brougham. What was wanted was something between the cab at • shilling and the brougham at 10s. id. The question at to what would result from free trade in cake, or from a difference in the description of cabs, was one which could be disposed of by inquiry and discussion. On that account he had urged upon the Home Secretary, as he now urged upon the meet ing, the advisability—nay, the necessity—of full inquiry into the whole question. taking evidence from other towns in the country and endeavoaring to make the state of the traffic as re gards conveyances in this metropolis satisfactory alike to parties—viz. the public, the proprie tor, and last, though not keit, the cabman. (Cheers.) When he saw Mr. Hardy on Friday it appeared to him that the right hon. gentleman did not receive these re marks unfavourably, addressed as they were in the interests of all concerned. He had suggested to the secre tary the advisability of appointing a deputation to wait on Mr. Hardy, adding that he would willingly accompany them. He had since seen the Home Secretary and the Earl of Derby. but as they were both required an their re speedy° places in parliament, he was unable to obtain a definite understanding on the subject. However, if at this meeting • deputation, composed of three cab proprietors and three cab-drivers, were appointed, he would accompany them to Mr. Hardy, who had empowered him to say that at 1 o'clock to-morrtw (this day) he would be prepared to receive such a deputation. (Loud cheering and waving of hats.) He had no doubt that in the interval the Earl of Derby and Mr. Hardy would meet and talk the matter over, and be should be very much surprised if the HOW. Secretary was not prepared to give a favourable considera tion to what they bad to say. With regard to the lamp question, be thought that what was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander, and if lamps were n for cabs, Pickford's vans and gentlemen's carriages sh be provided with them. (Loud cheers.) He had travelled in France before the time of railways, and in that country there was • law relating to lamps which was universal in its application. He remembered having aeon, while tra velling on the confines of France and Italy, common cares carrying little lights when proceeding through the moun tains at night. He had seen the resolutions which were to be submitted to the meeting, and it appeared to him that they wanted • little alteration. In the next resolu tion the word " bungling " was used as applied to the legis lation complained of. That might be true or not true; if they liked he would admit it, though as • member of par liament his withers were wrung by it—(laughter)—hut they had an object to smin, and they should remember the old saying, that " hard words broke no bones." He there fore advised them to modify the resolutions se as not to -contain anything threatening or insulting to the House of Commons. The boast of Englishmen was that they were • law-loving and law-abiding people, and he hoped that that assembly, wishing to obtain the reconsideration of as act of the BOOM of Common., would not pan • mediation ' pledging themselves to resist the law. (Cheers.) Mr. SELLCS then moved the second resolution, the word " bungling" having been previously erased, in accordance with the request of the noble lord. It was as follows : " That this meeting do protest against and rigidly oppose that piece of legislation called ' No fare to be less than one shilling when taken standing on a stand, and sixpence when off,' for it will create more sixpenny grievances, more litigation with the public,. and greater wear and tear with oar cabs and hones—making the trade worse than before, as there are not half sufficient standings foe our ca bs." Mr. G. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. ,Mr. HARDY moved the third resolution, which in its original shape expressed the determination of the meeting to resist the law compelling the use of a lamp. The resolu tion, in its altered form, was to the following effect : " That the whole of the proprietors and driven at this meeting pledge themselves, individually and collectively, to endeavour by all lawful and legitimate means to obtain an alteration of the law that compels us to have ' • lamp, properly trimmed and lighted,' whereby we are made sub ject to its ruinous liabilities by oppressive regulations ; and we further declare that the use of one lamp on • four-wheel cab is thoroughly impracticable, even if we burn candles, as set forth by Sir Richard Mayne in the 14th regulation, sent to us by his authority." Mr. Stairs, in seconding the resolution, said that the power vested in the police, as regarded the use of the lamp, would be abused in numberless instances. When triad and rain extinguished the lamp, he wished to know what protection the cabmen had against an arbitrary fine? He then referred at some length to the hardships to which cabmen were exposed, and, in alluding to his own trials, mentioned that last Sunday, although he wax out in the drenching rain from nine in the morning until night, he I had actually been compelled to take out of his private parse and to give to his master to make up the money for which his cab had been let ont. curried unanimously :--• 7 11;itall reton ..... ass:lnVed is Me 'meting do declare they wi l not send a cab to be in spouted, nor give notice for inspection, andthat all their eats be withdrawn from the streets at 4 o'clockevery day till the filet Monday in January, unless tho act relating to the compulsory use of lamps be rescinded ; and they further pledge themselves, if not complied with apt* that time to throw in their plates and work their property as Prilste proprietors, which will be only one-fourth of the present duty." A fifth resolution, approving of a deputation to the Home Secretary, was then put and carried, and the pro ceedings ended with a vote of thanks to Lord Rich* and the chairman. SCENE OUTSIDE THE HALL. By a quarter after 7 o'clock a crowd of at least 1,500 cabmen were assembled in the Strand, clamouring for admittance to the meeting. On some of the members of the committee inside being informed of this the 7 at once proceeded outside, and attempted to hold a meeting in Exeter-street, at the side of the ball. As this, how ever, was a public thoroughfare, the police, of whom there wee a large body on duty, interfered, and prohibited the meeting. The committee then decided to proceed to Tn. falser-square to bold the meeting, whither they were ao cornpanied by the whole body of cabmen, by this time augmented to nearly 2,000 men, 'and a large crowd of the general public who had been attracted by the novel scone. On arriving at the square, several lighted torches were procured, and the speakers took up a position on the platform of the Nelson Monument from whenoe the re form meetings were lately addressed. Hr. Case, • large cab-proprietor, took the chair, and the meeting was ed drooled by several proprietors and driversonthe grievances of the trade, the same resolutions being proposed and adopted as those paned at the Exeter-hall meeting. Shortly before the termination of the meeting, a cab was observed passing by Charing-cross, near Northumber land-house. A cry was raised of " Turn him over." It was answered by a much more general cry of " No, no ; no violence." About 40 or 50 persons, however, separating themselves from the meeting which about this time num bered 1,000, rushed at the vehicle. The luggage was re moved from the roof, the passenger ejected from the cab, the horse unharnessed, and the cab upset. Mr. Crompton expressed his deep regret at the oommittal of such an outrage, which, he said, would greatly damage their cause. This the meeting unanimously applauded. Shortly after nine o'clock much excitement was created amongst the residents of Norfolk-street, Strand, in conse quence of a cabman who, defying all opposition, dared to bring passengers to one of the hotels there. The cabman in question had ventured to take up • lady and gentleman, foreigners, who bad arrived at the Charing-onus Motion, and who engaged the cabman to drive them to Calvet , well's Hotel, in Norfolk-street. As he passed along the Strand crowds of people rushed out upon him from the neighbourhood of Exeter Hall, where ;the indignation meeting was being held, and threatened to overturn the cab, which was heavily laden with luggage. The cabman whipped his horse, and proceeded at as rapid a rate as it was possible for him to do, but by thetime he reached the corner of Norfolk-street, between five and six hundred people were at his heels, threatening all sorts of violence. Strangely enough a very considerable number of the poor cabman's persecutors were women. The hotel for which the driver was bound is situate at the extreme end of the street, by the Thames, and as the cab made its way down from the Strand the howling and yelling of the mob became more furious, and although police protected the cab on either side, some rough work was apprehended. Happily the passengers got safely into their hotel with their luggage, with strange notions, no doubt, derived from their first ex perience of • London cab strike. Meanwhile the cabman drove away under the protection of the police, followed by the yelling mob, who threatened him with annihilation. How he escaped no one seemed to know. TILE FOREIGN MAILS.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE THAMES EMBANK HENT.—ShortIy after eleven o'clockyesterday morning an accident of • serious nature o on the Thames em bankment, near to Hungerford-hridge. It appears that two men engaged on the works, James liosns and William Beane, were employed on a stage made for the purpose of setting stones for the embankment. The plank suddenly gave way, and had it not been that a board be tween it and the embankment—a distance of sit feet— bad broken the tall, both of the unfortunate labourers must have been crushed. As it was, one man, Hoskins, has sustained severe internal injuria in the chest, and though perfectly conscious, is still lying in a dangerous state ; end the other, Evans, was seriously hurt about the bead and limbs. Both the sufferers were inunediately taken to Cbaring-croas Hospital.
