STAMPED. SD. t , • Voyage witness asked Mr. Itu ell to' give ti c paddle 0)(61163 more steam. lief'never'cominuni cated' with Mr. M'Lennun at all. Mr. Russellgave all necessary directions for the manag , .tnent of the paddle engines froth the time of corning on board till leaving the ship. By Mr. Newman—There. was a written contract existing between Mr. Scott RUssell an d the company. Cannot recollect whether in that document a trial trip was provided for. It certainly was the under standing on which the vessel left the river. Mr. Brunel said he, did not consider any trial in 'the river would be satisfactory, as they could not get up steam enough, for the vessel was moored stem and stern. Mr. Scott Russell of hia own knowledge must have known that that'was the opinion of Mr. Brunt], whether it was communicated to him in writing or not. The trial trip on the responsibility of the engine makers was made at the express wish of the two contractors themselves. It was always the practice to have a trial trip with ordinary ves sels ; but had the practice, not existed, in a vessel of such size and power as the Great Eastern the directors would have felt it their duty to 'have initiated the custom. Mr. Russell, to' do him mere justice, was as anxious, as the directors themselves that he, should preserve the responsibility of the engines by_ having the appointment of the engi neers. :He (Mr. Russell) was quite confident as 'to the success of the paddle engines, and therefore did not shrink from the responsibility of trying theni, he said.' Mr. Leverson said that the opinion 'Of Mr. Super- intendent Shee and Mr. Lloyd - had been taken on the terms of the contract, and those gentlemen were confident that a trial trip was clearly implied by it, and that the company were not responsible for taking the engines until after such trip had been made. Captain RObertson , remarked that was a legal question of contract. What they had met to 111- quire into was, who was in charge of the engines when the accident occurred? Mr. John Scott Russell Was the next witness. He said that, except in so far as the late Mr. Brunel was the originator of the idea, he was the builder and designer of the great ship, and the contrador for the paddle engines. With the trial trip be tween Deptford and Portland he (Mr. Russell) had had nothing to do whatever, directly or in directly as a matter of business. He 'took the deepest personal interest in the trip, but beyond that there was nothing whatever in the way of business. During the trial trip the paddle . engines were never under his charge in any way or kind whatever. From the day when the fourth trial, of the engines was made in the river in the presence of Mr. Brunel, and in conformity with the terms of the contract, he considered that they were entirely delivered up to the company. That fourth trial was made on the Wednesday before the ship sailed. They were then handed over froin witness's engineers to those of the company, and the men about them ceased to be in witness's pay and went into the employment of the company. No written agreement or document pasSed when they were given up. If any fault was to be found it should have been at the fourth trial, for on that occasion, according to the contract, witness's re sponsibility was to, end. He did not select' the engineers. for the trial trip, :but it was suggested to the company that the engineers of both engines should be applied to by the company to recommend the entire' staff of both engines. This the company refused to do, and only allowed them to recommend the four head engineers of both engines. He thought that the first course was the wisest course for both parties, and he thought the men he recom mended were the best both for the company's inte rests and far the due care of his own engines. As to Mr. Dickson being on board, it arose from the fact of witness being invited to the trial trip and allowed to briiT a certain number of friends. Mr. Dickson only came as Witness's friend, and never took any charge of the engines beyond volunteering every assistance in his power. Mr. Ariott and his engineers had most undoubted charge of all the machinery under Mr. M‘Lennan;• the company's engineer in chief. Witness ,Was on board at the time of the explosion, and generally concurred in what had been stated by others as to its cause. He thought it must be taken for granted that all believed when the feed to the funnel was shut off the cock at the top of the tube was open. It was quite proper to shut off the feed from the casing to the boilers. Boilers always primed when they left the river, and priming was a source of great danger and inconvenience to the boilers. That was checked at last by throwing in cold water to the boilers, and it became desirable, therefore, to shut off the hot water from the casing, and let in the cold water from the donkey engines, which was done. Witness never knew of any cock being in the syphon-tube, though he agreed with •Mr. Dickson that it was always a wise precaution. He would certainly not have put anything that could have interfered with the passage of steam from the casing. The • Cock was not necessary where it was, though he thought it a useful precau tion in case the stand-pipe, or syphon, broke. The outer wooden funnel-casing acted as a ventilator to the sleeping cabins below. If, then, the stand pipe broke all the steam would have rushed down into the sleeping cabins. Witness had constructed two vessels on similar principles before. There was no provision made for the escape of steam in those vessels at all. Even, however, with both pipes open, in the cage of the Great Eastern, they might ' have had an explosion from many other' causes, such as if the feed was allowed to go low in the casing, and the water been suddenly let in. It was one of the mysteries of the present accident that it might have arisen from such a cause. In that case the syphon stand-pipe would not have saved the funnel. Steam would have been generated so rapidly by the' sudden reflux of the feed water that the syphon-tube , would never have carried it off even though open. That might have occurred in this accident, and he was not alone in this opinion. He most distinctly denied any official or mercantile responsibility at all in the charge of the engines in the trip round. He should have thought it wrong not to have given the company the benefit of 'Mr. Di▪ ckson's long experience, in case of any accident happening. By Mr. Leverson.—There were four trials of the engines made. 'Witness was n ware that notice was sent to the company of the trials being about to take place,—at least of the second trial, when members o fboth houses were p re sent, who were invited joi▪ ntly by the directors and witness. He had the expense of starting the engines four times. The first trial took place very early in the morning, when the company's officers were not present, as far as witness was aware. He was himself only present at the second and fourth. He was not aware that Captain Harrison was angry at not being present at the first trial to look after his moorings. That trial he certainly considered to be one of the four trials under his contract. He re membered having an interview with the Board at which the date of the ship leaving the river was fixed, and when witness wished it to take place a fortnight earlier. It was not at his wish that it was postponed. There was no choice of interme diate dates on account of the tides. The directors were also most anxious to sail as speedily as possi ble. Witness undertook to have the vessel ready, and his contract was in fact finished on the sth of August. On the last Wednesday in August the final trial of the engines took place. If any . of the directors had then expressed dissatisfaction with the engines, he would at once have given them another trial. He considered the four st artings he gee the engines at their moorings in the river were a suffi cient trial. A common trial trip meant that the ship and engines were retained by the builder until a trial stipulated in the contract, generally at so many miles an hour, had been fu lfilled in the river. All the parties then given on board were at the expense and under the cont rol of the engineer and builder, and the whole contract turned on the result of that trial. In the present case there was no stipulated performance whatever, nor would he have been in any way liable for the ex p enses of the trip, though he certainly would had it taken place in !ha river. Such would be the case with a vessel which had never been out of the binder's hands. Witness only contracted to do a portion of the work of the company's vessel, and therefore it was their trial trip, and not his. The terms of the contract were for the best materials and best workmanship. The ques tion as to the completeness of the contract was left to competent arbitrators to decide, and from time to time three gentlemen (three engineers) had b een so called upon to decide. If the directors h a d d ou bt e d the excellence of the engines, they should have had the arbitrators present when the last trial was ma d e . Witness was on the bridge almost throughout the whole trip, but t though requested by the pilot to drive the engines faster he declined. That request applied to both screw and paddl es . Witness, how ever, had agreed with M r . Bl a k e , w ho was in charge of the screw en gi nes, th a t it wo uld be un wise to drive the engines too fast. The pilot might have requested wit ness t o reverse the paddles, and he might have declined, and suggested that the screw should be reverse d. I n spite of this he denied that he ever took charge of the paddle engines. He knew better than the pilot or captain what could THE SUN, f:ONDON, _MONDAY _ L. EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1859. THE LATE EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE GREAT EASTERN. WEYMOUTH, SEPT. 17. This morning the adjourned inquest on the bodies of John Boyd, Michael Mahon, Michael M'llroy,,Robert Adams, and Richard Edwards, the unfortunate stokers and firemen who lost their lives by the explosion on board this ship, was resumed at the Town-hall, Weymouth, before Mr. Locke, the coroner for Dorsetshire. As on the vprevious occasions, not the slightest amount of interest appeared to be evinced by the inhabitants of the town, scarcely a person being in the hall, save tho_e immediately connected with the inquiry. Mr. Leverson, as before, appeared on behalf of the company ; Mr. Lawson was instructed to repre sent the interests of several large shareholders ; Mr. Newman attended for Mr. Scott Russell ; Captain Robertson and Mr. Galloway were present to assist the coroner on behalf of the Board of Trade. Mr. Campbell, one of the managing directors and chairman of the Great Ship Company, with Mr Jackson, M.P., also a managing director, Captain Harrison, Mr. Yates, the secretary of the old com pany, Mr. L. S. Magnus, and several of the chief officers of the ship - were in attendance. The jury, as usual, answered to their names. The nonchalanie of these gentlemen seemed to excite consideralile surprise among those present, accus tomed to observe the rigid attention bestowed by London juries on such occasions. Two, if not three, of them were apparently connected with the local press, and the close note which they took ,of the proceedings was a certain guarantee for their atten ,tiOb. Not-so, however, with several others, who occupied themselves throughout the greater part of the day in reading country newspapers, and, not to mention other instances, the inattention displayed on various occasions was neither in keeping with the serious nature of the case nor the most impor tant functions they were called upon to perform. The opening of the inquest was fixed for nine o'clock, but from various causes it was quite half past nine before business could be proceeded with. Mr. Robert Galloway, C.E., one of the surveyors to the Board of Trade, was the first witness ex amined. He said that, under the directions of the surveyor-general, he went on board the Great Eastern on her passage from the river to Portland. The ship started from the Nore on the morning of the 9th, - and all went well till, on arriving off Hastings, an explosion took place in the water casing of the forward paddle funnel, which dread fully scalded several of the firemen and slightly in jnred two of the passengers. Every exertion was used by Capt. Harrison and the crew, and particu larly by the passengers, to get up the poor men who were most hurt at once. After the explosion he examined the water casing, and found the cock at the top side of the stand-pipe was closed, and that shut off the escape by the syphon tube. This being closed prevented the escape of any steam that might be generated in the casing, while the casing itself being shut off below from the boilers, all exit for it, except by bursting, was prevented. When this' was done it was a mere question of time how long the casing could hold, as the steam in creased in its pressure. He believed that the water must have become quite decomposed. in the casing, until it assumed the form of an inflammable gas. The inner funnel then collapsed, allowing oxygen to mix with the decomposed water gases, and the explosion then instantly took place. Mr. Dickson and Capt. Robertson, the surveyor-general, were with witness when he examined the cock and found it closed. By Capt. Robertson—The whole accident was attributable to the cock being closed, and no es cape allowed into the boilers. Had the cock been open even, when the feed was shut off from the casing, the accident could not possibly have occur red. Could not conceive the use the cock was there at all. 'lt' had 'been fixed for the purpose of testing the casing by hydraulic pressure. It could have , been used for no other purpose, and had no connexion whatever with the syphon, except to shut it off. Its only use in the tube was to produce danger. It could, in fact, do nothing but be a continual source of danger. When the feed was shut off from the casing steam would have issued from the top of the syphon if it had been open, or from the bottom into the stoke-hole. It must have done so if the cock had not been shut. The cock was cased in with teak stanchions and perforated zinc panels. Witness had not the least doubt whatever in his own mind as to the cause of the accident. Could not speak positively as to who was in charge of the paddle engines from the time of leaving the Nore. Mr. Dickson appeared to have the control of them, but he could not say for cer tain. Witness was on board the ship to report upon the working of the engines, but not to interfere with them in any way, directly or indirectly. He was to report on the engines before a Board of Trade certificate could be granted, and without which, the. vessel could not have carried passen gers. Witness had only made a partial examina tion of the engines when the explosion occurred. Had all gone on well throughout the trip and the trial trip.to Holyhead, he - Would have passed the engines as satisfactory. Up to the time of the ex plosion the machinery worked well, and he saw nothing wrong. He saw the stand-pipe from the deck before the explosion, but he was not then aware of the dock being in existence. Any person aware of the construction or management of the engines should have pointed this out to him. He could not of himself have supposed for a moment that a cock would have been so placed. He was not aware the donkey-engines would not work, though he knew they gave some trouble. There was only one, he believed ) which was so very troublesome. He was not aware of the cause of its failure. Had he been in' the engine-room and found the donkey engine not working well, and feeding the boiler with difficulty, it would have occurred to him that the donkey-engine only was in fault. When the feed to the casing was shut off he should certainly have looked to the syphon-pipe to see if there was any escape of steam. If there had been none, he should at once have examined the cock, had he been aware one was there, to See if that was turned. (Witness was here handed a plan of the funnel-casing, donkey-engine, feed-pipes, and syphon-tube, which he had made, and which showed them as they were previous to the accident, and from this witness explained to the jury the working of the whole apparatus, and the position of the cock in the syphon-tube, the shut ting off of which had caused the calamity.) Examination resumed—There could have been very little water in the jacket when it blew up. The pressure of steam on the casing at the time it exploded must at least have been between 4001 b. or 5001 b. on the square inch, Had the upper cock in the tube been open, there couLl have been no dan ger. The cock was put there when the casing was tested, and it certainly should have been removed before the vessel left the river. He could not say whether or not the cock was visible through the perforated zinc casing, but, to the best of his belief, the cock was not accessible from below. There was nothing new in the arrangement of the funnel casing. It was comparatively new in the port of London, but had often been used elsewhere. The stand-pipe was not liable to accidental interruption from things which might be pumped in from the sea, and if the communication ban not been shut off from the casing to the boilers, even if the cock on the top of the tube was shut, no explosion could have occurred if the apparatus had been worked for 20 months. Mr. Alexander M'Lennan, chief engineer of the Great Eastern, then gave evidence as follows :—He had been attached to the Great Easter for 23 months. During that time he had been furnish ing himself with all the information he could get relative to the boilers and engines of the vessel. It was his duty to report to the directors about any thing which he thought wrong, or of which he disapproved. He had never been in charge of the engine at all, and at the time of the accident the paddle engines were in charge of Mr. Dickson, Mr. Scott Russell's superintendent foreman. He had no charge of the engines at any time. The orders he received from the late Mr. Brunel were not to take charge of them till complete. On the last day Mr• Brunel was on board the ship—the Monday before it left the river—Mr. Brunel repeated those orders. He was told not then to consider himself in charge of, or responsible for, either screw or paddle engines until fully tried. The chairman of the company, Mr. Campbell. also gave him similar orders. Mr. Campbell used to say, "Let them alone," meaning by that that witness was not to interfere with the representatives of Mr. Scott Russell or Watt and Co. in any way. In compliance with those instruc tions, before leaving Deptford he called his assist ant engineers together, and informed them theywere to consider themselves under the senior engineers of the contractors for the two engines. From that time he , considered the paddle engines were entirely in the hands of Mr. Scott Russell, and the screw in those of Mr. Blake, of the firm of Watt and Co. Never ,had any , direct , communication with Mr. Scott Russell on the subject, nor did he assist Mr. Dickson in the engine•room at all. If a wheel was wanted to be turned, or a message given about the engines, he gave that assistance, of course, but no thing more. 'the funnel casing was filled by Mr Scott Russell's people, though witness did not see them filled or tested. While lying in the river he was aware that a cock was fittedin one of the tubes, but on one occasion he saw it, and Mr. Dickson said while walking along with witness on the deck, "What is that cock doing there?" to which he re plied, " I am sure. I don't know." The cock was then fixed to the casing, but no pipe was attached to it. Previous to the explosion he was not aware of the existence of any stop-cocks in the syphon tub,:. As an engineer, but not as engineer in charge, he could say how the accident was caused. On leaving the Nore the donkey-engines, two in num ber, soon began to be very troublesome. That he knew from the frequent correspondence that took place between Mr. Dickson's or Mr. Russell's en gineers as to the difficulty with Which those engines were then working. They continued so throughout the day. There had been four at work on the pre vious day, but two were stopped to make some alterations or repairs. Could not say whether they were pumping water at the latter part of the day into the jacket or direct into the boilers, nor how soon the feed was turned off from the jacket, or by whose orders it was done: No accident could pos sibly have happened if the feed lad been continued through the casing, or if, when the feed was discon firmed, the cock at the top of the tube had not been turned off. The cock was no use where it was at all. He was in no way whatever responsible for what took place. His orders were not to interfere with the management of the engines in any way. Ho was simply a looker on with a view to the future efficiency of the engines. -No report was ever made to him, and Mr. Dickson alone was in charge of the paddle engines. • He knew positively the donkey engines were not working well, as he went and looked at them for himself. On the part of the com pany he should not - accept the donkey engines either as finished or as satisfactory engines. Examined by Mr. Newman—Witness signed the ship's article on the sth of September. Mr. Arnott was first engineer of the paddles, Mr. Marshall the next, Mr. Patrick the third, and Mr. Gerard fourth. Mr. Crone was the chief engineer of the screw en gines. Witness visited the engine room from time to time to test the saturation of the boiler, but he set no cocks. He was in the boiler room a few minutes before the accident and ascertained for him self the density of the water. He made two " watches" for the men in the engine room instead of three, in order that the things might be more carefully looked after. Until the vessel arrived at Long Reach there were no " watches" set at all. He did not arrange the watches on his own autho rity. He arranged them in conjunction with those in charge of the engines, who chose such assistants as they wanted. He wa-s only present at three trials of the engines before having the river. As he was not in charge of the engines it was quite immaterial whether he was at them or not. He was present at the last trial with the late Mr. Brunel. He was not aware that the cock on the pipe was accessible from the deck before the explo sion. There was a brass knob, like the handle of a door, in the easing of the second funnel, but it was quite impossible to say whether a similar one ex isted in the casing which had exploded. On the occasion already referred to, when witness, with Mr. Dickson, saw the cock on the pipe, he never asked Mr. Dickson to let it remain in. On one occasion he told Mr. Russell, when, early in August, he offered witness to take charge of the auxiliary engines, that he could not do so, and he was, in fact, prohibited from doing it till they had all been passed as satisfactory to the company and directors. By Captain Robertson—He had never for any time or on any occasion taken charge of the engines or interfered with them in any way whatever. By Mr. Lawson—None of the trials of the engines were ever conducted by witness, or, ad far as he was aware, by Mr. Brunel. Tho four enginers in charge of the paddles, Arnott, Marshall, Patrick, and Gerard, were all appointed by Mr. Russell, or Mr. Russell's foreman. They were usually the engineers who conducted Mr. Scott Russell's trial trips, and they made their report to Mr. Dickson. Mr. Arnett was then in the room. That gentle- - man had had no leave from witness or from Captain Harrison to come on shore. He supposed he must have received his leave from Mr. Dickson, for none other was given. By Mr. Leverson—His orders were to repot engineering defects to Mr. Brunel, but he cer tainly had not sufficient power to enable him to protect the interests of the company. He made an official application in writing for such increased powers on March the 28th, but did not obtain it. Mr. Russell gave his apparent superintendence, as far as being now and then in the engine room and on the bridge. Mr. Dickson did not sign the ship's articles, as he was not to form part o the ship's company. Even if he went to America he need not have signed the articles. The four engineers he had mentioned who had signed the articles were, of course, servants of the company now. Witness's responsibility only commenced when the engines were accepted by the company as quite satisfac tory. He heard Mr. Patrick say to Mr. Dickson that the donkey engines were so troublesome that he had shut the water off from the funnel casing and turned it into the boilers direct, in the old way. Mr. Patrick said after the accident had taken place he did not think that was in itself a dangerous thing to do. The cock in the syphon tube ought never to have been put there at all. The donkey engines, he considered, were decidedly most satis factory. The engine " watches" were only made for the first time at Long Reach. The instructions not to interfere with Mr. Dickson in:the manage ment of the paddle-engines were again at that time inforced on the juniors. They were ordered to make their reports to the engineers in charge, Mr. Dick son for the paddles, and Mr. Blake for the screw. By Capt. Robertson—The after pair of boilers which were fitted with a jacket casing were filled also direct from the donkey engines, instead of from the casing. That continued throughout the rest of the night after the blow up he thought. Could not say if there was a cock on the tube of that casing also, nor whetherit was turned or open. All the reports went to Mr. Dickson or Mr. Blake, and not to witness directly or indirectly. The don key engines to the screw wore troublesome, as well as those to the paddle. Before the vessel started witness made a verbal report to Mr. Brand that the ship was not fit to go to sea as far as detail wa s concerned. A large number of things were un finished, and had witness been asked to express an opinon he would certainly have advised the direc tors not to send her to sea. That remark did not refer to the safetY of the ship or the general com pletion of her engines, but to matters of detail left quite unfinished. Mr. John Dickson, Mr. Scott Russell's foreman, or managing engineer, said the paddle engines en tirely, including the water casing, were constructed under his superintendence. The water casing was all constructed by witness under the directions of the old company. Mr. Russell then had nothing to do with the yard at all. At first the funnels were designed on the common plan, but those were afterwards cut up and others with water jackets substituted, for which Mr. Scott Russell was in no way responsible. It was by witness's directions that the cock in the tube was fixed. He supposed it was by his directions that the cock was left on the tube. He considered the cock was necessary, as if the pipe had been broken and there had been no means of shutting off the water it would have spoilt the saloon beneath. The pipe was liable to be injured by ropes from above. Witness did not see this cock turned open, but he knew it was so, as steam used to come out as well as water come down to the stoke-hole floor. That was the case during all the trials of the engines at Deptford. He lengthened the syphon after the last trial a few more feet in compliance with Mr. Brunel's request, in order to get more pressure down. Did not ob serve from that time till the time of the explosion that any steam was ever escaping from the pipe. He did not himself look to observe if there was an escape, as he was very busy. There was a door in the casing above the upper deck, which gave access to the cock, which could be turned by any one with a " spanner." Witness was never put in charge of the paddle engines at all, he only assisted in work ing them, and never gave an order to any one direct or indirect. He considered the engines the property of the company, and that Mr. M'Lennan was in charge. Mr. M‘Lennan certainly acted as chief en gineer, and conducted himself in the engine-room as such. Witness merely backed and stopped the en ginesh e thesignals primingf o m d f e theck. The cause in of complianceth the accident boilers from dirty water , which affe cted th e donke y engines, and made them very t roublesome. Could not wth Sues t say at what time the feed from the funnel was abut off. He was absent for about two hours at 11 o'clock, and that might have been the time when the feed from the casing was shut off. Had the cock not been left on the tube there would:have been no ac cident—there could have been none. If the feed to the boiler had not been cut off, there could have been no danger. Witness certainly considered that the engines had been given over to the company after the last trial had been made in the presence of Mr. Brunel at Deptford. He was positive that he was not in charge of the paddle engines. Could not say who was, or if -any one wa, in ehar..e at All. After the explosion witness, with Mr. Galloway, examined the cock on the tube of the second funnel and found it open. From that casing he thought the boiler was afterwards fad all thougl the night.. The water was then taken through that casing. It Was past 12 at night, however, before the boilers ceased to prime. By Mr. Leverson—Was not aware that any n - tice was given to the company as to the trial of the engines. For the last trial Mr. Brunel ;are wit ness notice. The other trials were made by witness in Mr. Russell's behalf. There had infact been three trials for Mr. Russell and one for the com pany. The work that was going on about the en gines during the trial trip witness considered as extra—at least, _most of it. Two of the donkey engines were certainly out of order. The priming of the boilers caused the defects among the others, Never heard that one of the engineers was keeping together the parts of one of the donkey engines to enable it to work. The bolts of one of the axle bearings might have been loose, but witness was not personally aware of it.- In general it was not the chief engineer who looked after the injection and throttle valve. Any engineer might do so, who was in charge, but it was not the especial duty of the chief engineer. Witness did not give any directions as to the engines. lie heard. Mr. M'Lennan give orders to get up steam, he set the watches, regulated the water, and tried the'brine. Witness bad no instructions to go on board from Mr. Scott Russell. He was unwell and reluctant to go, but all the ships, in tha. .:of finishing de tails, was Undera -- 14,'- uncommon to make engines and . send them away without _ever putting steam in them. He had been in hundreds Of trial' trips, and generally went in charge of the engines as acting for the engine maker. Had known the next engineer, Arnott, for many years. Arnott had been in many trial trips, but did not sign ship's articles as Mr. Scott Russell's servant. He might have signed such articles, but not as engineer of the trial trip. The same remarks, to a certain extent, applied to the other engineers, Patrick, Gerard, and Marshall, all of whom had been some time in Mr. Scott Russell's service. Did not agree with Mr. Galloway as to the pressure in the funnel case when it blew up being as much as 5001 b. ; it was not more than half that: Even that amount, however, was an immense pressure. The casing was very strong. It had been tested to 551 b. He did not think that the use of water casings ought at all to be affected by the accident which had occurred. He still considered the water•jacket an admirable plan when properly carried out. By Mr. Lawson—Witness had no particular rea son for leaving the cock in the tube at all. Could not say whether or not it was usual to have such a cock upon a tube. had made many small tubes, but could not recollect whether or not they were fitted with cocks. Would not, in auy case, put a valve on. It was essential to put cocks or valves in all pipes taken from hot wafer or steam. Wit ness attached the pipe without any thought about the matter at all. Mr. Arnott worked one engine, and witness, to a certain extent, the other. Reports ought . always to be made to the chief engineer, but witness made ro report whatever to Mr. MTennan on any subject. Could not say why he was put to work the engines. No one asked him to go to them. The cock was so placed that any one could have gone and turned it, Though not Without using '' a 'spanner" or key. Witness always considered that ho built the en gines for Mr. Scott Russell. He thought all the drawings of the engines were in the possession of Mr. Brunel's assistants. In those draw- ngs the cock on the tube did not appear. At the Last trial, ' when Mr. Brunel was present, he said nothing which would tend to show tliat the company , either approved or disapproved the engines. Stop ping the feed into the casing and the cock at the top was like confining the safety-valve. Witness generally acted as chief engineer in trial trips; this time considered the boat was in the hands of the company, but he did not nevertheless consider that, though working at the engines, he was under the orders of anyone. By Mr. Newton—There were a great many mat ters of detail not put down in the drawings, as well as the omission of the cock in the tube. The derange ment of the donkey engines was entirely caused by the boilers priming. One donkey engine was all that was required to feed the boilers. Was ready to swear that Mr. M•Lennan asked him to leave the cock in the tube. He never asked Mr. M‘Lennan on the Thursday before sailing if he had got all his paddle-engine room stores complete, as he (witness) was going in charge. Such a conversation never took place, either in the presence of Mr. Briscoe or any one else. He could swear on his oath that Mr. Brunel never desired him to remove the cocks from the tubes. By Capt. Robertson—As he had stated, he went with Mr. Galloway an hour after the explosion to see if the cock of the next funnel casing was open. Ho found it was open, but he had reason to believe that it had not been opened until after the first funnel casing had blown up. Some one had told him that they had opened it, but he could not re collect who. It was not witness's son who told him, though it might have been his son who opened the cock. Until that was done both cocks were alike turned off, and allowed no escape for the steam. Capt. Robertson—Then it is a mercy from Hea ven that both the funnels did not blow up together. Witness could not say, when the second funnel was thus shut up, whether the water for the boilers was being taken from the casing or whether the donkey engine was pumping the water into the boilers direct. Mr. J. R. R. Campbell, chairman and one of the managing directors of the Great Ship Company, was called, and stated that as one of the managing directors, it was his duty, in conjunction with the board, to give directions as to the day of the vessel's quitting the Thames. He thought she was ready to leave Deptford when she started on the 7th inst. Capt. Harrison had the command of the ship, though ske was in charge of the sea and river pilots till her arrival at Portland. Mr. Saunders was the river and Mr. Atkinson was the sea pilot, but Mr. Atkin son had the chief charge on behalf of the company. As managing director belied been in communication with Mr. Russell and Messrs. Bolton and Watt, and it was arranged that those engineers would take charge of their engines in the trip to Portland. with a view of seeing their working before they were given up to the company at Weymouth. For this purpose it was arranged that they should have the appointment of the chief engineers to be re sponsible fur the entire working and control of the screw and paddle engines to the two. contractors. So desirous was Mr. Russell that a full trial should be had that he said lie was determined to make the first voyage to America, and accordingly engineers were engaged on his behalf to make the voyage there and back. The trip round from Deptford to Portland was merely to work the engines into trim. The real trial trip was to take place as advertised, round to Holyhead. Even if all the engines had worked well coming round it would not have been considered a fair trip for such a vessel. The whole responsibility for the working of the engines rested with the contractors, who had the whole and entire charge of them. That was previously arranged and understood, and at the request of the con tractors they were allowed to appoint their own engineers. If the latter arrangement had not been the case the directors would have felt it to be their duty to have a rigorous examination as to the competency of any of the engineers to discharge such an important duty. They would have subjected them to the severest tests as to their fitness for the office. The necessity for the trial trip was a verbal agreement of the contractors, who, on the understanding that it was a trial trip, insisted on appointing the engi neers in charge. A letter would be found addressed by witness to Mr. Brunel, advising the appoint ment of engineers to the respective engines, and in witness's presence Mr. Scott Russell was asked to name his engineers to go in charge for the trial trip, and in witness's presence Mr. Scott Russell did name them, and they were appointed accordingly. Both the directors and Mr. Russell were equally anxious that the vessel should leave the river as soon as possible, for it was a common remark that while there nothing would be done, and the ship would never be ready at all. The whole responsibility of the trial trip rested on the contractors, and not on the company. On the voyage round to Holyhead if the engines worked well they would have been accepted by the company ; if not, they would not have been taken at all. Mr. Russell and his fore man (Mr. Dickson) were in charge of the paddle en gines. Mr. Russell directed the movements 9f the engines as the pilot wished, and by the indicator conveyed his orders from the bridge to the engine room below. In the event of any accident occurring to the paddle engines witness would ha ve felt it his duty to communicate at once with Mr. Russell and not with the company's chief engineer, Mr. M'Lennan. Did not consider the chief engineer in any way responsible till the contractors gave up their work. Mr. M‘Lenniti, at that time, he viewed more in the light of a fifth wheel of a coach. (Laughter.)

Mr. Mr. Lawson—There were two contracts, one with the old- company,- -end' one-with the new.

The course which, the examination took was, hOW-, ever, eritirel3= irrelevant to the intniry,ointo the cause tithe poor men's deaths, to ascertain which alone, of course, the inquest - was Opened. It was thus not a question Of how the men were killed; - but who was to ,pay for the damagetothe. vessel. After repeated remenstranoes . from the Coroner, several of the jury interfered, and declared that the course: of l the examination' Was quite foreign to the i8(3103 ; . they were met to try. Mr. Lawson pointed out that , it tees necessary to prove the case by showing that Mr. Russell, being in charge, was in fault, but eventually he consented. to waive the questions he was desirous of - having answered, and the .exami , nation was continued. Witness was asked to name font engineers ferthe PaddleengineS,und Mr. Dick son did so, and these engineers proceeded at onee. into the employment of the company. Beyondthis there was no . formal delivery between witness and the company of the engines at all. Such a for mality was not usual, and ho (Mr. Russell) knew of none, 'and never heard of any. , By Mr. Newman—He recommended a' pilot to • take the ship down theriver, hat the emnpany.Only enjoyed - htin as an assistant to - Mr. Atkinson. - None of the crew were employed or paid by witness. If he had considered himself; at all responsible for the safety of the vessel or engines : during her trip, he would not have allowed any on board but such as lie recommended or employed. - , , • Py the Coroner—Not one of the persons in his employ was in any way or manner whatever em plci3 ed in Connexion with the engines: . Mr. William Ilriscoe, one of the engineers who was injured, was here recalled, and said that .4 week . previous to the starting of the vessel he remembered bei g : present at. a /conversation 'between Mr. M‘ onnan and Mr. Dickson relative to some lan - vs an other things-connected with the engine's. - Ile distitietly heard Mr. Dickson say he would not take charge of the engines unless those things. were supplied. It being now past 6 o'clock a long discussion en sued as to the propriety of adjourning, but the jury seeined most anxious to finish the inquiry, and after Some delay the evidence was resume d . lltlr. James Patrick, one of the eng i neers o f th e Great Eastern, said that, after the explosion- . 4: went to Mr. Arnott, and asked him if there Was aniTthing . to,stop the .communication between the w er casing and' the Syphon, and' Mr. Arnott re pli d that there were some cocks. When the ex pl ion took place,' it- occurred to witness at once-. t i, wi t was thit cause of it, and that was the reason for .his asking .the questiOU. Mr. Arnott replied thdt the tubes were fitted With 'coeks, but they were op4n, but he said -at once, OCCan4 see." Witness took a spanner and went to the second funnel casing, when he found the cock shut, and instantly opened it. ' There wass - a ' great rush 'of :steam, - for it seemed - th t the pressure wits very high. The feed to that fini nel casing bad been shut off from the casing. since one o'clock On the d-ty of the'explosion.' Both funnel casings were - alike -in this respect; ,It was witness who stud. : the )feed off from the funnel casing to the . boilers in both sets of boilers. HO shut theni both Off at the sane time. • His , reason for 'Shutting oil' the feed was to keep down till priming of ; the, : boilers. , After the explo si they fed the boilers from the funnel casing • that remained.' - The cock - was of no 'use in the syphon. It was thenegleet outs being closed that - cat sed such an accident as the present. It never occurred to witness fo look at the' sypheri before he shut off the feek`lHe never dreamt of- finding -a cock in the escape pipe ;like the syphon. Witness considered Mr. Arnott was in charge of the en- gines that day, .though Mr. Dickson was often there—among the engines, and in the boiler-rooms. From the time witness left Deptford be never 5u5,.. ; ,,, Mr. Dickson give, any dirgctions at all. Mr.M‘Leri, nan gave none either to the best of.hiS knowledge. Witness reported what he' had done in shutting off • the feed to the boilers to . Mr.Diekson. He toid him so in reply to Mr. Dickson's question as to what he (witness) was about, and how things were getting on. It was two hours after he shut off the feed before he told Mr. Dickson. Did not inform Mr. M'Lennan of the circumstance at all. By Mr. Lawson—He might have reported the circumstance to Mr. Arnott, but not before a couple of hours or-so after he had done it. Neither Mr. Arnott nor Mr. Dickson gave him any instructions when he told them•of what he had done Botha thein were present when he mentioned the circum stance of shutting off the feed. Witness was in structed by Mr. M'Lennan to obey Mr. Arnott. Nothing was said about obeying Mr. 'Dickson. During the five months witness was on board he was in the employment of Mr. Russell. It .was , Mr.' Russell wha . -had given him his appeintment as engineer. At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry'was ' adjourned till 10 o'clock this day (Monday), en the understanding that it will then be brought to aelose. THE CASE OF DR. SIfETHU.RST. `No further proceedings have taken place with regard to the disposal of the prisoner, who still re mains in Horsemonger-lane Gaol as a' condemned convict under respite from the Crown, and, from all that can be ascertained upon the subject, there appears to be a great difficulty in the minds of the authorities as to what course should be taken in the matter. The prisoner now occupies a cell by himself, and under the special order of the visiting magistrates he is permitted to have the free use of writing materials, and he is relieved front the per formance of the usual labour, such as picking Oakum, which is generally required from a con vict under similar circumstances; in fact, it ap pears that Many special indulgences are granted to him. He is, of course, as energetic as ever in the protestation of his innocence, and is engaged the greater part of the day in writing a history of the case, and remarks upon the evidence that was ob tained at the trial, andzhen this is finished it will be submittted to the Ilk retary of State, the pri soner hoping that it will have the effect of induc ing the Government to grant him a free pardon, which is the object he evidently wishes to attain. There is no doubt that the prisoner himself en tertains a very strong impression that he shall altogether escape, and the manner in which he has been treated since he has been in Horsemonger-lane Gaol would go very far to create that feeling in his mind. It would seem, however, that since the culprit has been reprieved, there has been a considerable reaction in the mind of the public with regard to the prisoner, and a good many of those who for merly professed themselves satisfied that he was innocent, or that at all events the crime of murder was not established by the evidence that was ad duced for the prosecution, now appear to have con siderably modified that opinion ; and this feeling has been increased since the publication of the letter of Dr. Todd, one of the most eminent physi cians of the day, which appeared during the last few days, and in which that gentleman, who must be altogether without bias or interest in the matter, t s t or o i l at e hl mn , eth l ae y dt m r t e bi i ne t l e a re t a e tth s i o t en h f e o fr o ii p sr o aa n nn tk h e e e sv exprpoi s on, essed a b uo tt that the hbai st c ause alone. The prisoner, it should be remem bered,d t is only reprieved during her Majesty's plea sure, and although it has not b een cus t oma ry in such a case to carry out the capital sentence, yet there have been cases in. which this has been done, and if the Government should be satisfied, as the result of the inquiries that are still being made, 'that a murder was committed, there is very little doubt that the sentence of death would still be carried out. It appears that before Dr. Smethurst was re moved from Newgate he expressed an anxious desire that, if the sentence should be carried out, Mr. Davis, the ordinary of that gaol, should visit him before his execution • a nd he made the request in a manner to induce a belief that he had some im portant communication to make to him. Should this really be the case, the nature of that commu nication will now probably for ever remain a secret; but the fact of his expressing the wish re ferred to may be positively relied upon.
