CIVIL IaRVICE APPOIIiTY/LNTS. This oosuaittes te-suserubleii m Monday., when the nary* wessbere were present :—Lord Stanley (chair man), Mr. Lowe, Colonel ttykee. Mr. Collins, Mr. Moockton Milne., Sir W. Harter. Mr. Tits, Mr. Roebuck, 8v W. Je.Ride, and Mr. Cliy. Sir Thomas Prenisntle was called, and examined by the Llintrman. In the year ending Mei of March, 1869, the number .4 "facers end darks in the Loudon L._ mtablishmeat (customs) yr,. 5,612. Besides these there was a huge number of extra clerks and supernumerary officer or glutenen"—perhaps 31110 or :1011, the number varying with the primate of huainess—so that the entire number would be about ii3OOD, or nearly two-fifths id the entire urn service. After mumerating the ~tom classes into which the civil servants of the customs are divided, and the duties they an ezpotsd to perform, Sir T. Fremantle went ea to eay that witltf the last two or three years a rule had twee esiallishad to appoint clerks be competition without any interference on the part of the goad of Customs, but an above that elm of clerk. were promoted by the board. As a werel rule, pn,mofion went oe in say one particular breach ; but in certain Cane. officers were removed from am breech to sash,,, hut that waii very rarely doer, bemuse it isterfered with the iipeciality of each different • department. Wince nay, Lads, no ekrk had been admitted without a certificate from the Civil Service l'orn niioionerv. The .init difference between the examination id the Civil Service Commissioner, sod that of the Board ,4 Customs was to substitute a more strict inquiry.

HATFIELD, WZDASIDAY. gsAn inquiry waalopened LLB morning, at the Red Lien Heel, in this town, Wore Kr. Swam, the county !steam, touching the deaths of Mr. Francis Leslie Pym and George Peebles, a *Weyer, who were killed in the widest which hammed Mthe Manchester express tree of the Gnat Northern Railway, on Monday morn ing, as already reeked in thia journal. The preoeedinga remlito ovate much interest, Colonel Yolked, R.E., gerammust inspector of realm Weeded to watch lr snlimss en Minn of the Rood of Trade. The corn. pig was regramated by Mr. Hall, barrister, Mr. Sey. wee Clark, Mr. Oakley, secretary, and Mr. Brydon, en. Omer ; and Mr. Bartholomew, with Mr. Powers, appeared for the relatives cif Mr. Pyin. The Hon. and Rev. J. W. Talbot, rector if Hatfield, wee present. The jury having viewed the bodies and the scene of the accident, the following evidence was gone into : James Bewood said—l was the driver of the engine of the Manchester 'sprees train which met with the accident en Monday. We left King's-cross at one minute part ten —ow minute late. The train consisted of eight carriages and two breaks. All appeared isle when we left London, ad oar greatest speed was frem forty to fifty miles an tow. The train went on all right until we reached Hat field, and ea geeing over the by the foot-bridge at the station the engine began to • te. Oorceer—What then hammed? Witam—The bell-rope - broke and the bell rang—the communketion between the guard and the driver. I =me , &Maly shut off steam and reversed say engine. We were thee going at the rate of about 50 miles =hour. After passing the crowing the engine oscillated from one aide to the other. I turned round after the bell-rope broke and saw the omega tr g u ttat w i al e o tl f le tte= up tn II:71in" I coa re l the line. Before I stopped, the coupling of the guard's break broke away frog the tender, and I put on deem a little in order that the break should not run into the engine. The engine kept on the line, and when we stopped I ten back and saw a lying on its aide in the four-footway. Did not notice that the wheels were off. I saw a gentleman lying on the road between the up and down line about fifteen yards from the carriage. I do not think he was dead. I wear on to Welwyn junction to stop all incoming trans, and returned to Hatfield in ten minutte. At the crossing I found a rail broke on the left or west side of the down line. Coroner—How was it broken ? Witniss—Bight through from the top to the bottom. It had separated about two inches. Coroner—Did you observe anything else broken? Witness—Nothing else except what the train had torn up. Nothing on the other ale of the line. I did not observe that any of the chairs were broken, or that there was anything the matter with the 'deepen. By Mr. Bartholomew—The oscillation was of a very violent kind. The thought struck me that a chair or rail might have sunk a little to cause the mediation. It con. tinned until we got about half way past the platform. The oscillation was most violent at the moment it commenced, and left off as the en gi ne recovered itself. The engine did not leave the line. The shock of the rolling was the fiat sensation I felt. Could not tell which carriage was first affected by the shock. I felt it as the engine went off the crossing. Coroner—As you went along did you feel ally other shocks ? Witnem—Yes, I felt a strain upon the coupling. Joseph Moorhouse was next milled. He said—l was the chief guard to the Manchester express train on Monday morning, and saw that the couplings, doors, bell, he., were all right. The train COlLlifliANi of the York van, a Newcastle composite, Leeds composite, Bradford composite, Halifax composite, Huddersfield composite, Liverpool composite, Manchester second-class, first-class, and break van. I was in the van next to the tender. Mr. Pym was in the centre compartment of the Bradford e =zre, the fifth from the tender. Just before the train under the footbridge I felt a jerk, and the van rockj from one side to the other. We were then going about fifty miles an hour. The next thing I observed wan the train oscillating as it rasped over the spot. The next I new was a pair of wheels running by the side of the line, and at the same time I felt the shock of the Bradford going over. It kept coupled to the next carriage. The engine took thedraw-bar out of the van and went ahead, aod we stopped very quickly. There was no earrings between me and the Bradford carriage upset. The Bradford carriage was turned over on its side in the six-foot way, and Mr. Pyin was lying on the ground some 30 fest from the carriage. He was living, and having been placed on cushions was removed to the Had Lion. The Liverpool and Huddersfield carriages rested towards the water column. The Manchester second-claa4was lying on its side in the six foot way, and the Manchester first-clam was off the line, out on its wheels. Broad YoHood—Mr. Pym was found in the track the aarriaee had been drag ged along. Thomas Williams, the who was with the former wass, spoke of Mr. Prm mg in the middle compartment of the Dra&ord carriage. There was • passenger in the moondidens compartment of the same carriage who went ma to Loads. Yr. Colahore, a contractor, said he was a passenger with a pan In the trnhu sod mat, iu the fleet von. Just heynnel the foot bridge at the station there was a .light oscillation, and the witness confirmed what had been previously stated. He found Mr. Pym lying on the left side, and having looked at him for a few momenta, he said "Mr. Pym," who replied, "Yee." There was a wound in his leg, which wail bleeding, and he asked him if he had any limbs broke, and deceased remarked, "Oh my back." He was conveyed to this hotel. Mr. Thomas Williams, inspector of the line, said—l was • in the third (Halifax) carriage from the engine. I fr age sonjtugs as if there was • carnage off behind me, and the ballast began to fly up. I felt the train slackening speed, and the moment the train stopped I saw the Brad ford carriage on in broadside in the six-foot way, and thirty five yank behind I saw the deceased is the rix.foot way, and bad him removed to the house. I afterwards went to the mooning at the foot bridge. Ooroser—What did you see? Witness—l saw a rail on the left or west side broken, and some of the rails were displaced. Directed it not to be I touched until Mr. Brydon, the engineer,came from London. At the crossing the ballast had been taken away from the top of the sleepers, but not below it. Did not see that any of the sleepers had been removed. The tender break was lying on its side in the six foot, and 10 yards from themes- I ing. Immediately ahead was the Manchester first-clan, on its wheels, on the up line. The Manchester second ' class was on its right side in the en foot, and the Liverpool and Huddersfield carriages were reining against the water column. I went further down the line, 128 yards, where the wheels of the Bradford carriage had separated, and the body tensed over on the six.footway,'and had been dragged along about 145 yards. I don't think Mr. Pym was killed in the e John Ward, foreman of the platelayers, said—l was at work at the Hatfield station on Monday morning. I had nine men under me. and we were at work up to when we heard the whistle of the Maochesterexpeees, and we stepped aside. We had been removing the t round about the crewing. Conran—ln what state was the crossing just before the bola came op ? Wilma--In exactly the lame state as when the nine o'clock express and Midland express passed. We had not toothed the rail nor the sleeper, only the ballast. We were picking out the ballast between the sleepers when the whistle sounded.

NOMPINIMPIMI ; the remoter ow ortilldel Mb lioselis. THE FRAUD UPON THE4UNION BANN The gigantic system of plunder to which the Union Bank of Loudon have been subjected formed almost tke sole topic of conversation to-day. An immense sensation has naturally been produced by the official revelation of the extent of the loss. Severe strictures are passed upon the defective system under which one officer of the bank has been enabled to obtain uncontrolled command over their entire balsam at the Bank of England, which has occasionally amounted to upwards of a million. Had there been any communication whatever be tween the directors of the Union Bank and the Bank of England, the custodians of their large balance, the career of the plunderer would immediately have been arrested. This considera tion will, it is hoped, not escape the attention of other bankers. A new and serious feature in the ' affair transpired, however, yesterday afternoon. The popular suspicion that frauds of such magnitude could not be persevered in for years without the complicity of some other servant or servants of the Union Bank appears to be correct. Another cashier, named Edward Lyttleton, was yesterday given into custody by , the directors, charged with being a party to Pullinger's defalcations. This evidence of the existence of a conspiracy is calcu lated still further to arouse the anxiety both of the shareholders and the customers of the bank. The apprehension is naturally excited that additional disclosures are in store, and that the ramifications of the plot may have extended into other departments of the company's affairs. In the interest alike of their shareholders, customers, and officers, it is highly desirable that a special general meeting should be summoned im mediately, and the result of a minute and search ing investigation into every branch of the bank's business laid before it. The credit of a bank depends solely upon confidence ; and in circum stances like the present confidence can only be secured by the most complete publicity—by im pressing the public with an absolute conviction that nothing remains behind. The Committee of the Stock Exchange, justly jealous of the honour of their body, have promptly taken action in the matter, having met in special session and addressed the following letter to the directors of the Union Bank, who have pro mised an immediate answer. Much dissatisfaction is expressed by the members at what they consider the attempt of the directors of the Union Bank to shift to the Stock Exchange a portion of the onus which properly attaches to their own laxity of system. Pending the investigation which is pro mised by the authorities of the Stock Exchange, the public will probably withhold their judg ment upon this part of the affair. It is undeniable that Pullinger had other coldly tastes besides that for gambling in the Stock Exchange. He likewise gambled on the turf, and is reported to have had an interest in certain racehorses. His taste in another direc tion, which does not tend to economy, even led him on some ocesaiona, it is said, to appear pri vately on the boards of one of the minor theatres. As these details of the man's life are dovetailed to gether, it becomes more and more difficult to under standhow he contrived to keep up a character so different at the banking-house, for it is not far, from Princes-street to Hervules-passage, where he was a frequent loiterer. Committee-room, fitorgclazige London, 4pril 25. Gentlemea,—A report of the directsirs of the Union Bank of London relative to the frauds of their chief cashier, William George Pullinger, having appeared in the morning papers of this day, wherein it te stated, that for a long time he had been engaged in an extensive system of time bargains on the Stock Exchange," the Committee for Ge neral Purposes request to be furnished with the particu lars on which the statement is founded, in order that an im mediate •inquiry may be instituted.-1 remain, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, Mows Loveurss, Secretary. To the Directors of the Union Bank of London. It is stated that Pullinger in some instances was cunning enough to carry on his operations in the Stock Exchange through the medium of third par ties. It devolves upon the committee to endea vour to trace the ramifications of these trans actions. The directors of the London and WeskaLdester Bank have recently called upon two of their clerks to send in their resignation in consequence of having discovered that two false entries were made in the books in 1857. Although the loss involved was only 405., the directors rightly held that the fault could not be overlooked. This trifling cir cumstance has formed the occasion, in the present excited state of the public mind, for a variety of injurious but unfounded rumours. !Lath Intdltgatm COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Arm 25. Minipill in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chid Justice, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Hill, and Mr. Justice Blackburn.) The court was occupied with the crown paper. 0170201 POLLST, APPELLANT—MUSANNAII KOSTIOU, This was a case dieted by Mr. Bingluun, the police Tungii trite, under the 20th and 21st of Vic., cap. 43, and was partly heard last term. It appeared that the respondent, Susannah Koetsou, had made an application to lir. B ing ham, under the 7th and Bth of Vie., cap. 101 (the Bast ard y Act), to compel the appellant, George Follet, to maintain a bastard child of which the applicant was delivered on the 24th of January, 1856, and of which Follet was alleged to be the father. Upon the hearing of the summons, on the 28th of Nay, 1869, the plaintiff swore that the defendant was the father of the child, and that he had made payment& to her on account of it within twelve months of its birth, whereupon the magistrate made the usual order of 2.. lid. per week upon Follet. Now, at the hearim, his attorney contended that the de. fondant was not to maintain such bastard child, inas much as in the previous October the defendant contracted to pay the plaintiff 51. • week for the support of the child, which contract he had fulfilled by paying her in advance for two years at that rate ; and, moreover, he had likewise paid her a sum of 10/. beyond the previous payment, in con sideration of which the plaintiff agreed to release him from all responsibility with respect to the maintenance of the child. Although, therefore, the magistrate might consider such a contract void, upon grounds of public policy, and although such • contract might not be enforceable as between the parties, yet the magistrate was bound to take all the circumstances into consideration, when no doubt his judgment would be influenced by the fact that the defend ant had paid over to the plaintiff more than double what the law would have compelled him to do. The magistrat e, however, felt that any such contract was absolutely void on the grounds of public policy, and, moreover, that he was entirely without discretion 'as to whether or not he should take into account the particular circumstances of the case. And he felt strengthened by the consideration that the clauses of the act which related to bastards had only one object in view, namely, the maintenance of the child. It might be that the mother would expend in a short time all the money given to her, or it might be that she lost it, and then what bec a me of t he child! The mother was only the guardian of the child, and circumstances might occur that would render the ►ppointment of another "guardian neces sary. Both the parish and the child were interested in such =manta between the father and mother being dial- From that decision the defendant appealed. Mr. Coleridge appeared in support of the order, and ad mitted at once that if a discretion was vested in the magis trate to consider all the circumstances of the use, he had but very alight arguments to offer in favour of the view that the facts relied on by the appellant ought to be shut out from the consideration of the magistrate. If, however, the question was whether such an agreement was void on the ground of its being opposed to public policy, he was quite prepared with an abundance of authorities to show that it was. His contention was that the mother WWI in capable of giving such a release to the father. The question Really was, were the interests of the child to be considered at all The 3rd, sth, and Bth sections of the act showed clearly that it was the intention of the legislature that the child was to be considered. _ . The Lord Chief Justice—l think this is one of the cir cumstances which, according to the section of the act, the magistrate may take into consideration . Two things might happen—either the mother may have made a hard bargain with the father, or she may have got pewee(' of a very larp sum of money. It is really, therefore , a question within the scope of the magistrate's discretion. Mr. Coleridge was not prepared to my the magistrate had not discretion in the matter. The Lord Chief Justice—Undoubtedly this is very much a question for him, as the mother might become lunatic. Mr. serjesnt Parry, for the appellant, contended that the mother was barred, by the release which she gave to the putative father, from snaking the application. if this were simply a civil contract, it was clear the mother had power to deal with it as with any other contract under the common law. The object of the legislature in passing the 4 and 5 Wsn. IV., cap. 76, was to throw the support of the child entirely on the mother, and not to provide for its welfare. Under the act it was the mother alone who could make such a complaint, and the parish officers could not compel her to make it. It was plain, therefore, that the defend ant'sples was a good one, and that the plaintiff had barred her right to complain. The Court held that under the Bastardy clauses reprd was intended to be had not solely to the mother but like wise to the child ; and therefore that the respondent had no power to give such a release as was contended for by the appellant. On the other hand, the magistrate had a dis cretion in the matter, and he was bound, in forming his judgment, to take into consideration such circumstances as had been alleged on behalf of the defendant at the hearing of the case. The judgment therefore was partly for the appellant and partly for the respondent. THE QUEEN ON THE PHoNECUTION OF THE CHURCHW/RDENB AND OVERMISEHB OP CLAPHAM, REMPONDI CHDICH• WARDENS AND OPERISCERS OP ST. PANCRAS, APPELLANTS. This was a case stated by order of Mr. Justioe Crompton under the 12th and 13th of Viet., cap. 45, for the decision of theoourt, and the 9uestion to be determined was whether an s apprentice was an apprentice within the meaning of att ir L ' d of William and Mary, which gave to all &ppm. times a right of settlement in the parish in which they were bound. -- Mr Knapp appeared for the appellants, and contended that the articled clerk of an attorney, or, an he was some times called, an apprentice, was not an apprentice within the meaning of the act. Referring back to the statute of the sth of Elisabeth, it was plain that the persons referred to as apprentices were those who were bound to some trade. Neither in the familiar nor legal acceptation of the wool could the title, apprentice, be applied to the articled clerk el an attorney, so as to bring him within the act of William and Mary. Mr. Le Breton appeared on the other side. The Court held that however congenial it might be to the attorney profession that articled clerks should be otherwise designated than as apprentices, yet there wasno doubt attor neys apprentices were apprentices equally with all others within the legal acceptation of the term. They bound themselves by indentures to serve their masters, and paid a premium in ooneideration of being taught the trade of attorney. BOARD OF TRADE RETI7RNS.

Sittinp in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Bares, and Barone Martin, Bramwell, and Wilde.) ALLSOI. AND WIFIC V. ALLSOP.-ALLEGED SLANDER. This was an action for slander, in which the declaration alleged special damage, in consequence of the plaintiff's wife having lost the association and society of her fri on account of slanderous words used by the defendant, and that she was otherwise injured in her credit and reputation, whereby she became ill and was unable to attend to her domestic business ; her husband bad been put to groat ex pense to cure her, and had lost her society for a lengthened period. For this special damages of I,ooot were claimed. The cue now came before the court on demurrer. Mr. Quoin submitted that the words complained of were not actionable, unless special damage was proved ; and he submitted the allegations that the plaintiff's wife had lost the society of her friends would not establish special damage. Mr. Baron Martin—The declaration states that " her friends refused, and did not associate with her as they had done." That would not be sufficient to prove special damage, because the names of the persons Ind not been mentioned. It further ces that " she was injured in her reputation by the saiMa and grievance." That would not be sufficient ; " and that in consequence she became ill and was unable to attend for a long time to the necessary affairs of her business." What did the learned counsel say to that Quin said this was the case of a married woman, which made all the difference. " The affairs of business were the temporary affairs of her husband's business, end there were no authorities to establish that illness said to have been caused by slander was a ground for special Mr s . Mr. Baron Martin—Suppose the woman had fainted the moment the words were uttered. Mr. Quain—That, I submit, would not be sufficient. The Lord Chief Baron—ln order to sustain an action of this kind there must be some dame growing out of the particular words and naturally following them. Mr. Baron Martin—The essence of every action for slander is that the words complained of are offensive. The words here complained of are of a most offensive character— in. deed, I may say, of an atrocious character. Without special damages they are not actionable, but if written they would be, and no doubt heavy damages would be given for them. . . Mr. Quain submitted that in the declaration special damages could not be proved. Mr. Prentice having been heard contra, The Lord Chief Baron said the defendant was entitled to the judgment of the court. There was no precedent in the history of the law of this country for any such special damage being made the ground of rendering that actionable which otherwise would not be so, and the court should be careful not to introduce a new elemcnt in actions of this sort.
