ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT NEILSTON, NEAR PAISLEY. (From a Glasgow Paper.) At the end of last week the Messrs. Cochran, who have a very extensive establishment for bleaching and finishing muslins at Kirkterdield, mar Neilston, gave notice to their workers that a reduction of wages would take place from that day. This gave rise to consider able dissatisfaction, particularly among the female workers, who form the great majority of the individuals females reside in the village, ern were lodged in what is called the " Women's house," a building of three flats and garrets, the upper portions being occupied as dor b en n i t p l l t k i3W e • ' a d r . ds l‘ o la f n ls o o t o i rt e h mitories, while the loner flat was used as rooms for the workers taking their meals. It is, We understand; the custom at Kirktenfield that the workers rise to work at rather an earlier hour on Monday morning thation the other days of the week, and a signal is usually given when the proper hour arrives. This, from the feeling which had spread among them at the intimated redue 7 Lion of wages, was, on Monday last. unattended to by the women in the " women's house," and they pretty plainly intimated a determination to strike work. It is stated that an individual connected with the esta blishment, in order to compel the Women to go to work, directed a quantity of bleaching-powder to be taken to the passage on the under flat, and at the bottom of the com mon stair to the whol e of the premises, and sulphuri c acid to be poured upon it, so as to smoke the women out by the noxious fumes of the chlorine lens evolved. This was accordingly done by one or the men employed at the field, who, after pouring on the vitriol, stirred up the mixture, of which he hal taken a large quantity, and having shut the outer do the 'result was that the gas began to fill the whole i 'wrier of the building, and to spread its noxious inf sem° over every individual within it. A rush was now made from every flat to obtain egress, but no one could get out without coming through the passage in which the mixture was Owed, and where, from the density of the gas, its noxious and suffocating influence was proportionally increased. Mr. John Cochran ran into the passage, and seizing the dish in which the deadly gas was generating, passed out by the back door of the passago, and threw the whole into the burn which runs through the premises. In the mean time the poor women were striving to make their escape into the open air, tdmostall of them under the most op pressive sense of sulllication, of intense head-ache, ex coriated throats, and irritated lungs. On getting into the air the utmost alarm and confusion prevailed. Sur geons were sent for, and in the interim, urged to do something for the relief of the sulibrers, their friends were led, in their zeal to alleviate the pain, in some cases to add to it by the medicines administered. Some had fallen to the ground immediately on reaching a purer atmosphere, as if struck by electricity ; some rolled about giddy, as if suffering under sea -sickness ; while others were more or less rendered incapable of knowing what they were doing or ought to do. When the medical gentlemen of Neilston arrived, which was with the utmost alacrity, the proper antidotes were applied ; and shortly after it was found that, with regard to many, terror was the worst they had suffered; but on 70 or 80 the gas had taken effect to some extent. These were carefully attended to , and an express was sent to Paisley, by the Messrs. Cochran, for the autho rities, and additional medical a s s i stance. rLheergeri (Procurator tleinn Mackay, of the rural police, arrived b e f ore 12 o ' clock, and everything was done to aid the sufferers by th em etr from Fiscal),lilsly, Sheriff C amp b ell, Mr. )r. Wylie, an d C apta i n Paisley, Dodger and the Messrs. Cochran. By the afternoon all of them had greatly recovered, with the exception of six or eight, whose eases %sere con sidered more serious ; but these also were yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon rapidly recovering. We understand the individual in question was yester day required by the Renfrewshire authorities to give bail for his appearance, in case of further proceedings being deemed necessary. CREDITON.—Many of the inhabitants on returning from church on Sunday morning last, were much alarmed cn passing the house of Mr. Pollard, iron monger , b y hearing the report of a pistol. It was soon made known that Mr. James Pollard, aged. about 22, and third son of the late Mr. Jonas Pollard, had shot himself. An in quest was held on the body .at the Ship Inn, on Wodnes day last, and it appeared that the deceased, %when young, met with a severe scald which much disfigured his face, This of late had appeared to prey upon his mind, and for the last fortnight he had been In a very desponding state. _ LONGEVITY.—Mr. R. Harris, registrar •of births and deaths at Totnes, registered in the month of De cember last, the deaths of four persons 'successively, whose united ages amounted to 335 years (viz., 76, 90, 90, 79,) and in the presentmonth of March, registered four other persons successively, whose united ages amounted to 313, (viz., three of 77, and one of 82 years.) —Plymouth Journal. The following is the Report made by Mr. Leach, the Clerk of the City Works on the Thames Navigation, on the important subject of embanking the Thames, to undergo discussion in the Court of Common Council on Tuesday next : " The Conservancy of the River Thames, as vested in the Mayor and Corporation of the City of London, the consideration of which subject has been the immediate occasion of this Report, extends from Staines, at the extreme boundary • of the county of Middlesex, on the bank of the river,' as denoted by the so-called City Stone placed thereon, bearing date A.D. 1280, at a dis tance of 37,1 miles westward of London Bridge; and continues down flit-liver eastward to Leigh, in Essex, on the north shore, a distance of about 42 miles, and on the south shore through Yantlet Creek and up the river Medway, a distance of about 54 (below London Bridge), at both which places similar stones are erected. " The navigation of the river westward of London Bridge having been many years seri ously obstructed, and in dry seasons nearly im passable for loaded barges, without constant re course to the injurious practice of drawing flashes of water from the upper districts of,,tlie river, which occasioned both delay and expense, from the want of those improvements which have since been effected, .Acts of Parliament were obtain" 3y the Corporation in the years 1774 and 1777 (14th and 17th Geo. 1II.), by the former ofwhich powers were obtained and carried into execution at the expense of the Corporation, under the di rection of Mr. Robert Ay itworth, civil engineer, for making a horse towing-path, with the neces sary bridges and works, from Putney to Rich mond, a distance of nine miles, where previously the towing of barges had been performed by large gangs of men, who were loitering about from tide to tide for that employment ;—for re pairing and improving the towing paths in other places or parts of the district, by building bridges, &c.; digging new and more convenient barge channels; stopping breaches; improving time river by contractions where necessary, and other important works. . " The • second Act of Parliament above men tioned, namely, that of 1777, was passed for: completing those. improvements, and for enabling the Corporation to purchase several private tolls imposed, where the original towing-paths had been washed away for want of repairs or pre servation, and new paths had been set out by the proprietors of the adjacent lands. The Act also authorised the Corporation to collect a small toll in lieu thereof, for the purpose of making timber improvements in the navigation of the river, keeping the works in repair, &c. " Although great ameliorations were effected under these Acts of Parliament, the navigation continued in a very imperfect and unsatisfactory state, being still passable . only by means of flashes, in low water seasons, and was attended with great delay, uncertainty, and expense, both in times of high and low water, to the parties who made use of the extensive districts orthe Thames navigation. Repeated attempts were made to obtain Acts of Parliament, to avoid the navigation of the river altogether, on account, as was alleged, of its imperfect state, by the forma tion of separate canals. These attempts were resisted Successfully by the Corporation, with difficulty and at great expense, until, in the years 1810, 1812, and 1814, powers were obtained under three Acts of Parliament by the Corpo ration of London, for more effectual improve ments of the navigation within its jurisdiction westward of London Bridge, and new tolls granted to defray the expenses thereby incurred. " These powers were immediately carried into execution under my direction, by the erection of six pound locks, at the following places: namely, at Teddingtoni Moulsey, Sunbury, Shep perton, Chertsev, and Penton Hook, with move able or opening weirs at the five first-mentioned locks, by which . about 21 out of the 32 feet of the natural ftill of the river between Teddington and Penton Hook, a distance of about 15 miles, is penned up; facilitating the navigation of barges laden to the.depth of 3 feet 10 inches, as restricted by Act of Parliament, during the low water sea • sons. This 'pain, removed or taken off in times of flood or high water, has the effect, when shut in, Of slightly retarding the downward passage of vessels -by checking the velocity of the stream ; but thereby, as well as , by increasing the depth of water over the shallows, materially facilitating the progress of the vessel on her upward passage. During the execution of these works, and sufnequently, the towing-paths were generally raised to provide for and secure the safe passage of horses and craft in high-water seasons ; new and more convenient barge channels were exca vated towing-path, pat made o h , t rbouguth deep a quarter waterof a rules, L a new t length, ( at Staines, where the towing had previously been effected by means of a long and heavy line hired " jv ; for the purpose, occasioning much inconvenient delay and expense. Several other extensive improvements have been made, whereby certainty and dispatch for the navigation have been ob tained, the duration and ill effects of floods dimi nished, and the extensive drainage connected with the River ThameS 'assisted : this last being an effect which may generally be expected to ' follow the Improvement of the river navigations. " On account of the severe wear and tear of the works above noticed, in such a river as the Thames, large and expensive repairs are con stantly necessary to keep them in an efficient state; and it would seem that the duties of the conservancy (except, of course, as regards the fishery) cannot better be discharged than by so doing; and in this part of the river, namely, between Staines and Putney, a distance of nearly thirty miles, where the towing-path occupies one bank of the river and the other bank is required to be continually watched and kept in the state most favourable for the, navigation, little more remains to be done or recommended than a dili gent perseverance in the same system of improve ment and preservation, as the means best calcu lated to promote the public benefit in connexion with the river navigation, its extensive and im portant drainage, and the other valuable interests dependent thereupon. Below Putney and Fulham Bridge the river, although so capable of improvement for the pur poses of navigation, has for want of funds been allowed to remain nearly in its natural state, with irregular banks, inconvenient channels, and formidable shoals. The first obstructions to be noticed are the tii'd wooden bridges uniting, Putney- and Fulham, and Battersea and Chelsea. Each of these bridges is in conveniently constructed and situated with re gard to the navigable stream, occasioning a cross set of tide through the navigable open ings, which are themselves also of insuffi cient width for the safe passage of all, but parti cularly of steam-vessels, whether employed as passage-boats or for towing loaded barges. To remedy these inconveniences would be neither difficult nor expensive, and should be done with- . _ out further delay, more especially when so great an improvement as the removal of the present shoals is accomplished, as it has been proposed, above and below these bridges. " To compensate for the Want of an useful ap plication of steam power for towing vessels as well as on other accounts, the continuation of the towing-path from Putney to Chelsea would he a manifest improvement to the navigation of this part of the river. Great delays and expense are not unfrequently occasioned tbr want of such an accommodation, particularly during land floods and adverse winds; . while the improve ment of the channel consequent upon regular contractions of the width of the river, the re moval of shoals, and the uniformity of the banks, would all be assisted by the exe cution of the proposed towing-path, in a part of the river where sufficient interest does not at present exist, to induce the landowners on the banks to carry into execution, or even contribute towards, such an improvement. The length of the river between Fulham and Battersea bridges is about two and three quarter miles, and its improved average width 713 feet. 'Those portions of the banks not occupied by the proposed towing-path, including part of the shores of Fulham, Wandsworth, Battersea, and Chelsea, would in all probability be gradually improved by the owners and occupiers, agreeably to the plan which accompanies this Report, and which has been carefully surveyed by James Walker, Esq., President of the Institu tion Of Civil Engineers, Captain Bullock of the Royal Navy, the Waterbaitiff, the principal Har bourmaster, and myself. By this plan an ample water-way is provided for the navigation, and by the excavations from the shoals necessarily onade to fill up the embankments, a suffi cient receptacle would be reserved for such quantities of tidal water as are indispensable for scouring-effect throughout the pools, and for preserving, by a slightly increased velocity and properly regulated course, the improved navi gable depth. "Between Battersea and Vauxhall bridges, a distance of about two and a half miles, the river as it increases in magnitude does so in importance, on account of the multipled population and the value of the property on its banks. The contractions described on the plan would doubtless be beneficial, both to the navigation and the land owners, by many of whom, there is little doubt, the improvement would be gradually executed. The pre sent width of the river varies from 1,010 feet to 640 feet, and it is proposed to be embanked to an average width of 7:10 feet, which would be effected with the same results and advantages as before described, and probably likewise afford facility, on one shore or the other, for a carriage or foot road, conducing both to the benfit and enjoyment of the public. " From Vauxhall-bridge to London-bridge the necessity for ..the improvement of the river, by means of contraction and embankm en t, i ncrease s in proportion to its magnitude and importance. In this length of about two and a half miles t re s c . fit - v -atitiortooo , -A=et just below Vauxhall-bridge, and nearly 700 feet water-way at London-bridge, to a width, above Westminster-bridge for instance (before the em bankment for the Parliament houses), of 1,085 feet; at Hungertbrd market of 1,490 feet, at Waterloo-bridge of 1,245 feet, and above • Blackfriars-bridge of 1,000 feet. The con sequence of such prodigious irregularities, as may be naturally expected, is the existence of shoals in the river, and large accumu lations of mud on the shores ; the latter receiv ing constant additions from the filth poured into the river from the common sewers throughout the extensive drainage of such an enormously populous district. This accumulation of mud cannot but be most injurious to health and no , favourable to navigation, particularly to that part of the latter which is effected by steam power, and which passes up and down at all times of tide. These evils, although ex isting before, were not so apparent as they have been since the removal of the old and the build ing of the new London-bridge : indeed, a state of things more requiring alteration and improve ment than the present can hardly be imagined. " The most effectual remedy for these incon veniences, one which would simplify and render more efficacious the duties of the conservancy, the proper discharge of which is now attended with difficulty and uncertainty, would be the execution of the improvements des cribed on the plan prepared by Mr. Walker, and lately re-surveyed and corrected, and which was submitted to a Committee of the House of Commons, in the Session of 1840. " When the Committee which sat relative to the re-building of the Houses of Parliament, of which Lord Granville Somerset was chairman, re quired to have the utmost possible quantity of ground that could be spared from the river to be appropriated to the enlargement of the site for the said buildings, and which has been since so oc cupied, the line of embankment in that part of the river was at once determined, ranging up wards with the former embankment at the Penitentiary, and proceeding downwards in a line nearly parallel with the low-water mark. This embankment may be executed as may be most convenient to the wharf occupiers, either by low wharfing to admit of loaded barges being floated over it at the proper time of tide, and so to load or unload at the present wharfs, draw-docks, &c. ; or, by higher embank ment, sufficiently above high-water mark to land and load from and into vessels laying outside the line, and moored to the wharfs within certain and well-defined litnitationt;. " In consequence of the removal of the long existing dam of the old London•bridge, such an alteration has been and will probably continue to be made in the bed of the river, as already to have rendered new foundations neces sary to 'Westminster and Black friars-bridges, and has, in a more or less degree, alThcted the foundations of nearly all the buildings (the heavy pile of Somerset House, for instance) and wharfs, on the banks between London and 'Westminster bridges. The new embankment would there fore afford an opportunity to give, to all build ings requiring them, secure foundations. " From the beneficial effects to property on the banks of this part of the river, connected as it would be with the removal of shoals and of offensive mud banks, it is reasonable to suppose that the strong prejudices existing in favour of the present modes of transacting the business on the river, arising from long usage and custom, would give way to a better, affording such facilities for the dispatch of business at the wharfs, and ample space fbr the deposit of coals, timber, deals, and other goods requiring room on shore, as to render no longer necessary the present numerous and expensive floating warehouses, which arc a positive nuisance to the navigation. The excavation from the bed of the river, for the purpose of filling up the embankments, whether low or high, would make the requisite ameliora tions in the navigable channel. The ends of the sewers may be carried through the embankments, and deliver their contents as nearly as possible at low water-mark, and thus remove the great nuisance arising from the pre sent mode of discharge. It is hoped that all these advantages, with deep navigable channels and clean and well regulated shores, are so manifest as to render the execution of the work, either by owners or occupiers (every practicable facility being afforded them) within a reasonable time, scarcely to be doubted. " Much has been said, in Parliament and else where, in favour of a road from Westminster to London-bridge, connected with the formation of the new embankment on the Middlesex side of the river. Such a work might, no doubt, be prac ticable, but would be attended with great ex pense, and perhaps interruption to tile wharf business. If this be the case on the Middlesex shore, it might be possible /o constract such a road upon the new embankment of the Surrey shore, similar to the present quay-road in front of the Penitentiary at Millbank. The new road, being united to London by means of alt the bridges, would afford facilities for re creation or business, communicating as it would, by the shortest line, with all the southern rail ways, &c. Whatever else, however, may be done in this matter, safe and convenient piers for landing and embarking steam-boat passengers (projecting as little as possible into the river), at all the bridges and other most accessible public places or thoroughfares on both banks, should form an essential part of the new arrange ments, and the present most objectionable struc tures be removed as the proposed safe and con venient piers could be provided. " Below London-bridge the principle of the im provement of river navigation by means of con traction has been fully exemplified. But for which, together with the proper tiering of ships, which is but another application of the same prin ciple, and the excavations continually made by . the Trinity Corporation,it could not have been pos sible for ships of such draught of water to have ac cess to the London and St. Katharine's Docks, and throughout the port, as is the case at present. As, however, these contractions and embankments have not been systematically constructed, they admit of considerable addition and alteration in several places, such as are described on the plan, and may be connected with the neces sary removal of shoals and mud banks, laying down additional moorings (such as fbr colliers or other vessels at New Crane, where numbers of West-Indiamen were formerly moored, which has been proposed but not executed, for want of funds), and various other essential improve ments, which will, no doubt, be much better detailed by the other professional gentlemen engaged in this important survey. I beg leave, however, to add my firm belief; founded on long experience and local know ledge of the River Thames, and the shores at Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, and several other places, are very capable of the alteration and improvement pointed out by the lines which have now been laid down, and which would be equally advantageous to the owners and occu piers of the frontages, and to the navigation of the river." Sir R. Peel will leave Brighton to-day for L on d on , by one of the early rail-road trains. The Right H on . Bart. is expected to arrive in Whitehall-gard6ns shortly after one o'clock. A lecture on Mesmerism and Braidism was delivered at the Waterloo-rooms, Waterloo -street, on Monday evening, by Mr. H. Brookes, a gentleman who, we under stand, has devoted much attention to the subject of ani mal magnetism. Mr. Brooks read an introductory paper to the audience, in which, after briefly glancing at the history of Mesmerism, and some of the more striking facts in relation to the science, passed on to a con sideration of the more immediate subject of the even ing's lecture, namely—somnambulism or sleep-waking. The lecturer next referred to the class of phenomena known by the name of clairvoyance, or transference of the senses, by which individuals were enabled to per ceive not only the objects by which they were imme diately surrounded, but things at greater or less distances; and notwithstanding the intervention of numerous opaque objects, in the dark as well as in the light, and all this without the aid of the ordinary organs of visien. In support of these facts, Mr. Brookes quoted numerous cases recorded in the works of M. Chardel, Dr. Elliot son, and others, as well as some extraordinary experi ments detailed by the Rev. Mr. Townsend, and pro ceeded to say that a patient upon whom he had experi mented himself, was able, with her eyes completely closed, to see objects placed on the pit of the stomach, although entirely out of the line of vision. Another extraordinary faculty possessed by mesmeric sleep wakens was that of perceiving their own internal or ganisation, and that of the mesmeriser and such others as might be placed in communication with them. The firmer of this class of phenomena—namely, percep tion of their own internal organ i s i a ti on —h e h a d veri fied by a long and patient investigation on the subject whom he should introduce to the notice of the audience that evening. He now passed on to another class of phenomena, equally if not more extraordinary than those which they had already considered : he referred to the sleep-waker's perception through the mesmeriser. It was asserted that though the sleep-taker had no percep tion of impressions made on his own organs of sense, yet lie perceived those made on the senses of hearing, smelling, taste, and touch of his mesmeriser. This se condary sensation, as regarded hearing, smelling, and taste, he had himself verified, but had not been able to succeed in creating a secondary sense of feeling ; but it did not follow, because he had failed, that it could not be produced by others. The next phenomenon to which the lecturer called the attention of the audience was that of the attraction of the mesmeriser. In the mes meric sleep, that state which immediately preceded sleep waking, the head of the patient slowly followed the hand of the magnetiser, as iron followed the magnet ; and in sleetmivaking,ulen.the,patisaltJaad.aasinixed.isoksaisa an d over the voluntary muscles, this singular power: became more marked; for if the mesmeriser moved - a short distance from the patient, the latter experienced a strong " drawing," as they expressed it, towards the place to which he had moved, and this impulse they found it im possible to resist. The lecturer concluded hiS paper by describing some of 'the extraordinary phenomena exhi bited in a state of sleep-waking, by the attraction and influence of metals. The contact of silver, nickel, and glass, produced on the sleep-waker a painful sensation, while gold produced a much milder effect. Of this he had witnessed many interesting proofs, sonic of which he would be enabled to exhibit to the audi ence in his subsequent lectures. A young girl, about twenty years of age, a servant of Mr. Brookes, was then brought on the platform and placed in a chair. She appeared to be in a state of high nervous excitement, At the request of the lecturer and the audience Mr. Levison, surgeon- dentist, ascended the platform, and tested the state of the patient during the various stages •of the proceedings. - Baying taken her seat in a chair, Mr. Brookes placed himself behind his sujet, and com menced his experiments by making pasSes from the bead downward and along the arms and limbs, and, after ope rating in this manner about three minutes, mesmeric sleep was produced. The girl remained in this state about a quarter of an hour, during which time, although a percussion cap was discharged close to tier ear, she ap peared to be totally unconscious of its sound. The organs of speech, as was explained, were then demesmerised, by mesmeric passes, and the state of sleep-Waking ensued. The mesmeriser having now retired to the end of the platform, the girl arose slowly from the chair, ' turned gradually round, and began to move with great caution towards him until she was stopped by coming in contact with his person. On being asked where she was going, she replied " she did not know." She was then led to the chair, and desired to sit down. when the mesmeriser made a few passes on each side of the fore head, over the organs of time and tune ; -and, after the lapse of a few seconds, she exclaimed, "Hush ! hush I hear beautiful music," and forthwith began to sing, " The Troubadour," with much judgment and expression. The song was stopped, by the mesmeriser passing his hand over the same organs, in a different direction. The lecturer again retired to another part of the platform, and was followed in the same manner as before by his patient ; and, on being asked why she did not sit down, she replied " Something draws me." These experiments, in illustration of the extraordijary power of attraction exercised by the mermeriser oar his patient, were re peated several times with the Alt m e results ; and, as a considerable time had been occupied •in reading the in troductory paper, Mr. Brookes deferr e d hi s f urt h er ex periments until the following evening. On Tuesday evening Mr B. delivered his second lecture, after which he proceede d with his experiments, of which the following account has been furnished us by a correspondent :—" The young woman who was operated upon on the previous evening was again brought on the platform, and was thrown into a mesmeric sleep by the methods before employed, in about two minutes. Her insensibilty whilst in this state was satisfactorily tested, after which her hand was de mesmetised, and on being pricked with a pin she exhi bited the usual indications of pain. Her sense of hear ing was next tested, by discharging a percussion cap close to her ear without startling her ; but, on one of her ears being demesmerised, the report caused her to scream, and hysteria ensued. This having been allayed, the attraction exercised by the mesmeriser was proved by a series of expriments, after which Mr. Brookes invited Mr. Wilson, the phrenologist (who is at pre sent lecturing in Birmingham), to step on the plat form, that he might investigate certain experiments which the mesmeriser proi_ osed to snake on indi vidual organs. The organ of benevolence was first excited, and, on the suggestion of the lecturer, Mr. Wil son put various questions to the girl, for the purpose of eliciting the state of her feelings : her answers were in dicative of a state of mind under the influence of bene volent thoughts, but on the organs of combativeness and destructiveness being excited her benevolent impressions manifested a marked change. The organs of self-esteem and love of applause were next put in action, and produced corresponding manifestations. On being asked to sing, the girl refused: but on the organ of tune being excited she said that she heard music, but that it was very bad. The organ of time was then acted upon, when the face of the patient brightened up with an ex pression of delight ; and, after an exclamation for silence she commenced singing " The Warrior's Death Song," and other airs, in a very pleasing and effective style. On the suggestion of Mr. I'ahner, the organ of colour was next excited, and the patient proceeded to describe beautiful flowers which she saw, of "all colours, and in heaps," and on the organ of individuality beingoporat•ed upon the flowers were named, although 'previously she could give no description of their character. These ex periments, which were continued for a considerable time, appeared to give great satisfaction to the audience, as affording a perfectly novel and interesting. illustration of the phrenological organs.—Birminghant Paper. JURY COURT, EDINBURGH. ROBERT lIISLOP,&C. V. SIR P. C. H. DITRIIAMK.C.B. The action was directed at the instance of Robert, His lop, the father of Elizabeth Hislop, affil her brother and sisters, against Sir P. C. 11. Durham, on the grounds that on the 7th of May, 1841, Elizabeth Hislop, an un married woman, of about twenty-seven years of age, kit her father's house, at Hinnybole, near Bonnyrigg, in company with her brother and two female acquain tances ; that she accompanied them part of their way towards Bonnyrigg ; but although solicited to gt, to that place with them, and remain all night, as was both dark and wet, she declined to do so, and leA them on her way home ; that this occurred about half past ten o'clock ; that she never reached home, and no intelligence was _gained concerning her, until, after ex tensive inquiries had been made, her body was found in an old coal-pit in the lands of Polton„ situated a short distance from the high road leading from Bonnyrigg to Rosewell. The pursuers further averred, that neither at the period when their relative lost her life in the said coal-pit, nor at the time her body was found therein, was there any suffi cient fence around the mouth of the pit, the only protec tion against accidents being the remains of a " cradle" and a few upright pieces of rotten .fir, both in such a state of decay that a very slight touch would have caused them to fall down. That when the body was found, it was seen that at the side of the pit, nearest to the cart or carriage way leading to Polton Mains, one of the spars was hanging by little more than a single fibre, while at the opposite side there was a gap of about three feet in width entirely open. That the coal-pit had been out of use ; and, for the security of the public, it ought either to have been properly filled up or covered over, or en closed by a stone wall ; but as it was not rendered se cure in any of these ways, and as Elizabeth Hislop had lost her life in consequence of its unprotected state, the defender, as proprietor of the lands of Polton, in which the pit was situated, was liable in damages to the pursuers. In defence, Sir Philip admitted that the deceased was visited at her father's house at Hinnybole, on the even ing of the day before specified, by two female acquain tances ; and, after the party had partaken of some spirits there, her acquaintances took their departure about nine o'clock, for the purpose of going home to Bonnyrigg, and they were accompanied by the deceaSed and her brother. But, in place of proceeding directly to Bonny rigg, they went into a public-house, where they remained drinking whisky till between ten and eleven o'clock. Thy deceased got quite intoxicated ; and, when she left the public-house, she was obliged to be assisted along the road towards Bonnyrigg. Before reaching that place she abruptly turned, and left the other two females and her brother. She could not have entered the grounds in which the pit was situated without committing a trespass. After retiring for a short time, the Jury returned a verdict for the pursuer, Robert Hislon, the father, damages 3001.
