EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON• REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in tho Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietors differs in its tenor but little save in one or twc particulars from that laid before then, in 1868. The income of the year, it will be seen, amounts to £540,499 188., and the total charge to £145,077 10s. 9d. The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, 'aided that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

The interest from investments is .£120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company s affairs the director's have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and lass account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of .£48,00. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. Thin circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and . the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management aro greater by nearly .VOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but fur the unavoidable cost of transferring the compao)'s securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must .be.rezarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SIIEET. JUNE 30, 1269. DR.

Children under twelve, Ca • lic- ‘ -4 . 711- tzj • Sill house Act rectifies is the granting of licenses by the Excise. • That department looked solely to the revenue. The greater the number of licenses granted the larger the revenue. Consequently no inquiry was made into the character of the applicants, and we could mention instances in which persons of notorious disreputability, and even convicted felons, have been allowed to open beershops. Over these houses the magistrates had no control, and, consequently, they became too often sinks of abomination. ' Although irresponsible persons are not the best licensing tribunal, and it would be wise to transfer the jurisdiction from the magistrates to the rate payers, yet magisterial supervision is manifestly better than none at all. That supervision is now partially secured for the next two years. We say " partially " because the power of the magistrates is a good deal restricted. Prompted apparently by a respect for vested interests, they are not allowed to refuse the re newal of old licenses, even though they should be far beyond the wants of the community, unless the holders are unable to produce evidence of good cha racter, or their houses are frequented by thieves and prostitutes, or their licenses have been previously forfeited for misconduct, or the house is not duly qualified. With regard to the granting of now licenses, or, more strictly, certificates of license, the power of the magistrates is the same as in the case of spirit-shops. They may exercise their own discretion ; they may take into account the alleged wants of the neighbourhood, and the fitness of the applicant. No doubt they will find in most cases that the want does not exist,and that there fore they had better refuse the application, even though he who makes it be the incarnation of all the virtues. By the exercise - of this discretion, and by rigorous use of the depriving power against offenders, they may render the recent Act not wholly ineffi cient, and do something, though it must be but little, towards staying the plague which infests the land. The minor provisions of this measure are of the ordinary kind. Previous Acts of Parliament are re pealed, including the famous Beerhouse Act of 1830. The licenses granted are to last for one year. Due information is to be given by applicants of their in tended application, in the shape of a notice to the parish overseers, and of another to be affixed to the church doors on two consecutive Sunday afternoons. A certificate may be transferred to a new tenant in respect of a license under the old Act, and holds good until the next Brewster Sessions. A penalty of twenty pounds or six months' imprisonment attaches to the offence of forging a certificate. In the case of a house licensed only to sell drink not to be consumed on the premises, the police may enter at all times to see that there is no evasion of the law. In such a case it is not necessary to prove that there has been an actual payment; it is sufficient that the liquor has been drunk on the premises by persons not belonging thereto. Evasions of the law, sinli as the carry ing of the drink to a ten', or oLher erection adjacent, will not be cuff ,red. A fine of 40s. is inflicted for sale at unlawful hours. Previous convictions are to be considered as a first or second offence if committed within five years. In a word, the low-class beerhouses are now brought under the same supervision and similar regulations as the higher class gin-palaces. Hitherto the magistrates have been powerles3 sl far as the first are concerned. They have 11,w the autLority to repress vice and breaches of the law. It remains to be seen how they will exercise it. If they wish to retain their powers two years hence, they must not be laggard in the use of them. Mn. BRIGHT deserves much commendation for stimulating the energies of his department to a, long neglected duty. For many years the practice of collecting stones or shingle on the shores of harbours and at the entrances of ports has bear carried on unchecked, to the great detriment of navigation. This depredation is common along the cx st, Lut nowhere is it so extensive and systematised as on the Yorkshire shore, especially at the mouth of the number. There the collection of shingle from the coast round about Spurn head h: been a regular trade, furnishing employment to a large number ,of men, who, until re cently, were in all probability ignorant that the practice was in direct'contraventien of law. For a small charge the privilege of collecting was obtained from tLe landowner of the district ; small vessels were regularly employed in the business, and thousands of tons were every year brought into the port of Hull and disposed of at a remunerative price for ballast. The injury wrought by this removal of stones has been very great. A. few tons, more or less, might make little difference ; but a regular deporta tion of immense q lantities tended seriously to deteriorate . the value of the Humber as a harbour of refuge. Spurn Head, as a glance at the map will shew, is the natural barrier against the encroachments of the sea upon the Humber mouth. Indeed, without the protection , afforded by the long line of land which runs into the sea across the entrance to the river, the Humber as a harbour of refuge would cease to exist, and thus the only asylum of the kind between Essex and the Frith of Forth would be destroyed. Put the preservation of the [lumber as a shelter against bad weather was, 01 course, of no interest to the owners of small vessels and the seamen who made a livelihood by carrying off gravel and stones. For years they have indus triously exerted themselves to destroy the harbour formed by the Humber Estuary and Spurn Head. About 35,000 tons of shingle have been taken from the Yorkshire coast about that cape every year. The collectors were not content with gathering the stones and gravel off the surface ; they excavated the shore and riddled the fine deposits, in order to get whatever was useful to them. The sea has gradually made progress upon Spurn Head. About thirty acres at this part of the coast disappear yearly. Mainly owing to the removal of shingle two lighthouses have been swept away. And not only must • the consequence of this destruction, if continued, be the ruin of the Humber, as a harbour of refuge, but the best authorities pronounce that the channel leading to Hull, which is now deep, would be so affected as to impede navi gation. • It is in the interests of the public at large that the Board of Trade have interfered to prevent this wholesale depredation. The integrity of the channel up the Humber, as leading to on e of the first Eng ports, is of more than local importance, importance, . and not less so is the preservation of the harbour of refuge formed by the long tongue of land at the entrance to the estuary. 'That the department has the power to interfere is 'as certain as that its interference must prove of public benefit. The juris diction of the Board of Trade rests on no doubtful point of law, but on a plain statute provision which has not, indeed, been properly enforced, but which has never been, nor is it likely to be, repealed. The fourteenth section of an Act passed in the latter portion of. the Third GEORGB'S reign stipulates that no person shall be allowed to take shingle from any harbour or shore, provided that the Lords of the Admiralty publicly for bid any such collection. Now, in the case of Spurn Head, this depredation had been forbidden. It was necessary only that the prohibition should be published in the London Gazette; but the Board of Trade, anxious to avoid inflicting penalties on men who neither knew the law nor saw the Gazette, caused the notification to be posted about in the neighbourhood where the shingle was gathered. But the practice did not cease, and accordingly the depart ment has been obliged to have recourse to law. Several men hare been prosecuted by the counsel for the Board of Trade, and a mitigated penalty—the full infliction being ten pounds—has been awarded. It is to be hoped that these examples will tend to put an end to a system which is as indefen sible at law as it is mischievous in its effects. There is no plea worth calling even plausible which can be urged in justification of this shingle gathering. It is true that many things are done contrary to law, and are yet tolerated because the law has long been inoperative. But this plea of long custom cannot be put in to defend a practice which is so greatly detrimental to the public interests. The shingle collectors have, indeed, been neglected far too long; but the omission of one Administration is no argument against the activity of another. The custom plea cannot justify continued impunity; it is only matter of regret _that the interference has come so tardily. At these cases tried at Hull, it was argued that the power to permit the gathering of shingle lay with the Lord of the Manor, who had, in fact, long sanctioned the practice and derived a substantial revenue from the collectors, who paid about £1 for each vessel load. - The counsel for the Board of Trade, however, soon disposed of this claim. Whatever rights the local laodowner play liave, they cannot prevail against an Act of parliament. The taw gives the Admiralty power to forbid the removal pf PhiPgle at any point of the coast. If the rights of territorial mag nates arc to take precedence of the Admiralty, the,Act becomes a dead letter, for everywhere there is a lord of the manor 04? hap claims of greater or less extent. The Act is supreme over any local fights, ' and it is well that it is so. It is scarcely possible to ' over-estimate the ill-effects of this devastation if it had been permitted to continue, LAI:EST INTELL MENU (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) LONDON, FRIDAY, A UGUSI 20, 1869. The remonstrance of the SULTAN with his vassal, the Viceroy of Egypt, has now appeared in extenso. As yet we know nothing, however, as to the nature of the reply transtnittel by the Khedive from Cairo to Constantinople. Nothing could well be more digni fied in tone, and at the same time more reasonable in character, than the communication recently for warded, in the name of ABDUL-AZIZ, from the VIZIER to the VICEROY. It is a document presenting an extraordinary contrast to the diplomatic statements formerly setting forth, on the part of the Sublime Porte, the haughty claims of the Sultan Caliph to the allegiance of those recognising the dominant authority of his supreme power as Suzerains. There is no abatement, nevertheless, in the Sultan's claims upon the loyalty of his Vassal, the Viceroy. On the contrary this missive is the distinct vindication of the pride and glory of the Ottoman Sovereign. The Grand Vizier, in addresing himself to the Egyptian Viceroy, reminds the latter clearly enough in so doing that ISMAEL PACIIA, in his character or capacity as Viceroy of Egypt—is What? King,Lord,orKhedive? Delegated Monarch or anything equivalent? Nothing whatever of thekind, simply—" one of the chief mem bers of the SULTAN'S Government placed at the head of the Egyptian Government." Reminding theVICEROY in the very preamble of the despatch that, in virtue of his right as SOVEREIGN of the country, the SULTAN, " our august master," as he calls him, would be en titled to exercise a supervision over the expenditure which weighs so heavily on the present as on the future of Egypt--the Grand Vizier adds, addressing himself pointedly to the grandson of MEnEmET ALT, the present viceregal ruler of the Egyptians—" If this supervision has not been exercised, if the other rights and duties specified by the Imperial firmans which conferred the hereditary administration upon your family, have not been invoked, it has been, not because his Mansry meant for a moment to renounce any one of either h.'s rights or his duties, but solely be cause his MAJESTY was convinced that your High ness, in your wisdom, would not abuse his abstinence, ant that, appreciating rightly the benefits of which you have been the object, you would never diverge from the path of loyalty and devotion." Bitter and sweet are therein, it will be seen, very strongly and intimately mingled. The words italicised are calculated to bring down the soaring ambition of the Pacha of Egypt to its proper level, and to remind hint that though a vassal of the highest (lass, he is still after all nothing more than a vassal of hisliegelord and Suzeraine, the SULTAN CALIPH of Turkey. Although their relative positions are thus powerfully, and it might evtn be said poignantly, recalled to the mind cf the VICEROY, immediately after his all but royal tour among the Courts of Europe, the facts embodied in that reminder are altogetLr in their nature undeniable. Pointedly though they are brought under his recognition, they are notwi hstauding submitted to his consideration with all courtesy. His Imperial Majesty the SULTAN, speaking as it were through the mouth of the Grand Vizier, recalls to the remembrance of his Highness the Egyptian Paella, the eNideaced of implicit trust in his loyalty and discretion manifested, up to the present moment, not intermittently, but systematical'y by the Supreme Government at Constantinople. The Viceroy is then reminded that—as the Vizier puts it—" Although your si had been good enough to apprise us of your departure, you did not deem it incumbent on you to afford us the least in f.,rma.!ion as to the in3tives “ssigued by public re port for your voyage, nor to give any answer what ever to the requests for explanation which were officially addressed to you." Astonished at this silence the Sublime Porte with Turkish impassive ness, it might even be said, with haughty dis lain, " thought it right," as the Vizier expresses it, await the moment which would throw light on those facts." Meanwhile the Viceregal vassal of the Sultan Caliph, while on his trave's from one European Court to another, gave invitations to the various Sovereigns, beginning with his Majesty the King of the lIELLENES, to be present at the inauguration of the Ship Canal through the Isthmus of Suez. Again, with a mixture of reproof and suavity the Vizier addresses himself in the name of their " August Master" to the Egyptian Pacha or Viceroy. " Only that your Highness," he says, " is too enlightened to render it necessary, we might remind you that the invitation of an inde pendent Sovereign to a foreign country should be made by the independent Sovereign of the country." The Vizier, adding thereupon, " The contrary in fringes alike upon the dignity of the invited and the rights of the territorial Sovereign." Later on in this remarkable despatch, the Vizier writes to the Egyptian Pacha " we cannot repeat it too often, his Majesty the Sultan, our august Sovereign, animated by the liveliest solicitude for the welfare and prosperity of Egypt, and desirous to see that province enjoy its privileges within their legitimate limit', can never consent to see the ties weakened which attach it to his empire." The Viceroy is, thereupon, reproved for the excessive expenditure upon which the Sultan's Government conceives him to have adventured in fife purchase of ironclad vessels, and warlike arms of all descriptions. Remembering the state receptions accorded in the different Courts of Europe to his Highness ISMAEL PACIIA, and read ing the despatch just now addressed to him in words of courteous but severe reproof by the SULTAN'S Grand Vizier, we cannot but recall to mind the trite old axiom, that " Pride shall have a Fall"—while we look forward with something like eager curiosity to the announcement of what may have been the nature of the reply tolthe Ottoman Porte transmitted from Cairo in the name of his Highness the Egyptian Viceroy. " to AMONG the measures which have passed through the shoals of committee and the rapids of the division lobby is one that has been granted as an instalment of more thorough legislation to take place two years hence. The " Wine and Beerhouse Act, 1800," came into operation nominally on July 15, but, practically, its effect will not be felt until next Brewster Sessions. This Act was almost extorted from Mr. BRUCE by independent members, who, impressed by the evils of our licensing system, insisted that the often-made pledge of successive Ministries to deal with this question should no longer be left unfulfilled. It is admitted on both sides that the present measure deals with but a small portion of that question, ameliorates but one of those evils. Nevertheless, it was thought better that a partial and temporary remedy should be obtained at once than that the country should wait any longer for a radical cure. The bill just passed is therefore limited to two years, and before that term has ex pired it is to be hoped that Mr. BRUCE, or whoever else may preside at the Home Office, will have dealt boldly with one of the most gigantic evils of the day.

A deputation Trom the General Assembly of the Pres )yterian Church in Ireland waited upon his Excellency Earl Spencer on Wednesday, at the Viceregal Lodge, to ()resent him with an addresa conveying an expres don of their undiminished loyalty and zeal 'or their sovereign. The Rev. P. Smyth, Mode rator of the Assembly, headed the deput,a,tion.— His Excellency, in reply, said i—" Mr. Smyth and gentle nen— The value of the expressions of loyalty to the Queen which your address contains is enhanced by the fact that they come from the annnal meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ire land.

Such a work is of great national importance, for in this country, so much and s Iona! by religious differcpcf , g, 11'4.64 coin iaeration and for bearance, are, aboye ail things, pecesary. I beg to assure you th t my anxiaia endeavours will be directed to discbario 410 jiotly the duties of my posi tion as Viceroy. It will be a matter of great satisfaction to me if, dining wy stay In Ireland, I can contribute in any way to the moral or physical welfare of the people. My endeavours to do this are greatly assisted by the support and advice of those who, like yourselves, are well acquainted with the wants and requirements of the nation." THE BRITISH . ASSOCIATION. EXETER, THURSDAY. The members of the Association settled down to work in the various sections this morning, and from eleven o'clock to three o'clock the Reception•room, which was inconveniently crowded yesterday, was comparatively leserted. But prior to tackling questions of science and philosophy, a pleasant hour was spent in discussing the President's address, delivered in the Victoria Hall last night, and in recalling the incidents of what was a very pleasant rCunion, rendered none the less so because the absurd rumours which had been circulated about the insecurity of the building in which it was held turned )ut to have no foundation. Of the way in which Professor Stokes acquitted himself au opinion generally favourable was expressed. It was admitted that, though there was nothing that was new about the address, and though it was less bsil liaut than the efforts of some former presidents. it was practical and scholarly. It has been remarked by more than one that as an elocutionist the President has the pull of many of his predecessors, for without any undue effort he was able to make himself heard—a result which is of some importance when, as last night, some fifteen bun fired people came together for the express purpose of listening. Takcn altogether, the members of the Associa tion are in a self-congratulatory condition, and believe ;hat they have not often been more fortunate in the selec. ion of a President. _ _ The members of the Association are promised a rare treat on Monday afternoon, when, after evensong, Pro. fessor Willis, of Cambridge University, and Archdeaccn Woollcombe will conduct them round the cathedral, and the former will deliver a conversational discourse upon the %rchitectural and antiquarian features of interest with which the building abounds. Nor is this all that the cathedral authorities will do to add to the attractions of the Association's visit. Through the courtesy of the Canons, the original MS. of Domesday Book of the Western Counties, Bishop Lacy's MS. Missal, Bisl.op Grandisson's Lectionary. and an ancient copy of Euclid are open for inspection in the Chapter House every after loon. To-night the Mayor receives the members of the ASEO. elation in the Albert Memorial Museum, which will bo thrown open to the public for the first time in its com pleted state. The soiree will be something more than a mere social gathering, for in one of the wings of the build ;ng there have been brought together a most comfilete and interesting collection of the mineral products, metallic ores, building stones, marbles, rocks, and fossils of the two counties of Vevon and Cornwall. There are also various productions manu factured from terracotta, found at Watcombe St. Mary Church, near Torquay, consisting of bricks, crucibles, pipes, Etruscan vases, busts of the Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Royal family, Lord Palmerston, Shakspere, and Cobden ; articles of pottery, architecture! moulding, pigments for painting, and stained paper. A large block of copper ore, weighing Cans., found in the West Wheal SetOn Mine, Camborne, next attracts atten tion, and then comes a model of an ingenious washing and jigging machine, used in mining operations, from the New Dampfylde Mine, near Northmolton. In the centre of the Lower Museum arc placed two tables, divided into compartments, in which are shewn specimens of building stone, for construction and ornament found in Devon and Cornwall. One consists of granites, elvans, traps, sandstone, conglomerate, freestone, limestones, ane slates ; another of ...senbles, serpentines, and porphyries. 'The upper museum smtains, ranged along the sides of the room, a series of glass ,_-_ses filled with fossils and minerals of Devon and Corn- Tall. In the middle is a table, on which are exhibited ires of Devon and Ccrnwall. On the wails are hung plans and sections of the famous Bottallack Tin Mine, and of several other mines in the two counties. On the cornice, running round the room, in an antique lettering, appear some of the names Devon has furnished to the list of those llustrious in science and art. In a number of cases placed against the walls are antiquities of Devon and Cornwall, flint, stone implements and flakes, and specimens illustrating the blue clay deposit, and the submerged forest of Bideford Bay. In the latter is a fine antler of a deer. Another case con tains teeth and bones of extinct mammels from the cele brated Kent's Cavern, Torquay. There are also speci mens illustrating the pebble bed at Budleigh Salterton, and several examples of Devonian fossils of the two western counties, ores of copper, iron, lead, tin, and manganese. After inspecting these mineral treasures, the visitors will proceed into the elementary class-room of the School of Art, which will be used by the Chemical Section of the Association, where will be exhibited specimens of the work of the pupils of the school, and returning to the south wing, they will enter a kind of miniature picture gallery, the walls being hung with the en= gravings presented to the Albert Memorial Mu seum by Cousins, the engraver. There is to be no formal ceremony observed in the reception of the visitors by the• Mayor, a fact which will not render the soirée less enjoyable. Miss Becker, looking as vigorous as ever to achieve the rights of women, has attended several of the sections to-day. Most of the sectional Presidents delivered opening addresses to their respective sections to-day. Sir Bartle Frere, chairman of the Geographical Section, touched briefly on the principal subjects to be brought forward for discussion. Ardongst the most interesting would be those papers treating of the comparatively unknown regions lying between the northern frontier of our Indian Empire and the southern limit of the Russian possessions in Asia, and of new routes for commercial enterprise in in Thibet and the eastern, portion of Chinese Tartary. The general geography of the Hima layan range would be dealt with in a paper containing a record of the discoveries made by Captain Montgomery, assisted by the pundits who had done so much towards the exploration of those mountains.' One of these pundits has sent Isis son to the London University preparatory to the Bar. Interesting facts would be communicated about the Suez Canal, South America, and the West Coast of Africa. Referring to Dr. Living st-me, Sir Bartle Frere expressed his confidence in his safety. A paper was then read by Dr. Mann, narrating the discovery by Erskine of the mouth of the Limpopo, a river which rises north of the Transvaal country, in South Africa, and falls into the sea between Sofala and Delagoa Bay. Mr. Stirling described a visit to Fez, the Holy City of Morocco. In the Chemical Section the President, Dr. Debus, delivered an address so entirely technical as to be irate• resting only to the initiated. Its plan was to direct attention to the general ideas which guide the researches of chemists, and the objects they seek to attain, and to indicate the direction of scientific thought at the present day. Dr. Debus paid a high tribute to his predecessor as President (Professor Tyndall), whose experiments in decomposing gaseous substances by means of light would furnish valuable additions to our knowledge of chemical dynamics. The new Metropolit an of Cl.nada, the Right Rev. Dr. Oxenden, recently consecrated Bishop of Montreal, in Bi g ht Rev. Dr. Fulton ] , deceased, sailed su ccession to the yesterday for his new diocese. Ho will bo formally en throned in Montreal Cathedral on arriving there. At the Central Criminal Court yesterday, be fore the Lord Chief Baron, a man named Church, a clothier, was sentenced to 12 montl.s' imprisonment for obtaining on Credit large quantities of goods within three months after his adjudication as a bankrupt with intent to defraud, and for unlawfully disposing of sucb goods otherwise than in the ordinary course of trade. The prisoner, within a few months of his bankruptcy, had obtained goods of tho value of £2,000, which ho sold at fairs on the " Cheap Jack" system, considerably under cost price.

TILE LORD APPOJJV The Guardian of Wednesday, after commenting on the death of Lord Justice Selwyn, says :—" His former col league, now Lord Chancellor, to whom he so eTacefullY accorded precedence,will have some difficulty in naming a successor in the Appeal Court." As several other papers have made a similar mistake, it may be well to mention that the Lord Chancellor has nothing to do with the: appointment of the Lord Justices of Appeal. The nomino tion of Lord Justices and Vice-Chancellors is absolutelY with the Prime Minister, who has also the sole right of nomi nation of the chief j uiticeships of the Court of Queen's Bench:- and Common Pleas. The Attorney-General for the time being has a claim to the post of Chief Baron of Lb ( ' EXChecitier ill tile ilvcait of a vacancy, but if be declines, the nomination goes to the Prime Minister. The Lord Chancellor nominates to all the puisne judgships, and t° those alone. FIRE 4YI) GALLANT RESCUE OF Fir LIVES. Shortly before three o'cle.l on Thursday morning a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Casson, furniture-dea ler, Church -street, Greenwich. Mr Edward Webb,a local volun teer fireman, living nearly opposite, was immediately on the spot, and assisted Philip Kenai, the fire-es:.-,aPe attendant, in running the escape to the scene of the flee. Arriving there, they found Mr. and Mrs. Cas son and child standing at the second floor window, screaming for help. The escape was immediately placed against the burning house, and the three occupants were brought dow n by Kerich in their night-dresses. At this time the back of the adjoining house, occupied by Mr. Murrell, l'/W P found to be on fire, when Webb, hearing screams of the children in the house, took the first floor ladder of the fire-escape, placed it against the house, and su cceeded in rescuing Mrs. Murrell and an infant. Efforts wer.e ni made to subdue the fire, but it was not extinguished li.tle five o'clock, the building in which it broke out bon.' entirely destroyed, and two adjoining houses and content!, considerably damaged. The origin of the fire .1 unknown. The whole of the sufferers are insured 11 different offices. A DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH TILT.E.O Three men, named Ingram, Holmes, and Smith, Were indicted at the Central Criminal Court on ThursdaY , Lord Chief Baron Kelly, for Lurglariously entering l' premises of the Kent Waterworks, Deptford. 4" evidence shewed that a most desperate struggle had taken j;:ittlee place between the prisoners and the police. and another detective were passing the Prern,ls:4 in question, and on looking through the vi""‘: saw the prisoners there. Knowingthemto '- desperate characters, Kittler thought it would b°, better to obtain assistance, and went to the foreman house, which was in close contiguity, for that Pa r P l. The foreman joined the detectives, and an effort Karela to capture the burglars. Kittler attempted to app e l Ingram, but that person, with great strength, fp'ir,/,, lifted the officer off his legs and tried to throw h im the n the river that runs close by the premises. Failing in tb i l he turned round, Lit the foreman of the woiks 113 band most severely, and then savagely turned round Ag3:s an d forced Kittler, who closed with him on the pavem ent, and w.--J forced to use his life-preserver.

The other prisoners juiiihot this wholesale attack, and in the confusion ese , Pe d ' were captured on the same day, Smith being li' lied I the time.
