The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—And I believe the ma jority was against you ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the question. Lord DENMAN-1 believe we are all aware of what occurred. Re-examination continued—lt is not the custom on other railways to put blank carriages between the engines and the passenger carriages. By the Couttr—l think that two carriages should be placed between the engine and the passengers. One would not be sufficient. Mr. J. Wood, the son-in-law of last witness, was with him when the accident occurred, and did not think they were going unusually quick. Charles Goldsmith—l was driving the four-wheeled engine at the time of the accident. I had been em ployed by the Brighton and Southampton Railway Companies before I joined the Brighton. I joined the train at Hawley. The four-wheel engine was the first. Jackson drove the other. We were going from 23 to 25 miles an hour. We were not going at any unusual or improper speed. Before the accident happened Jackson had shut off the steam from his en gine. That was about a mile before the accident happened. I slackened the greater part of my steam. I saw Copley give the signal. I had slackened speed before. I was very much hurt. I believe my engine was the first knocked off the rail. I remained insen sible some time after the accident. Cross-examined—I was first taken on as fireman. I had been a driver a month or five weeks. I had 245. a-week as fireman, and two guineas a week as driver. We might have been going 30 miles an hour shortly before the accident ; we were about two miles from the place when we slackened speed. The place of accident was five miles from the top of the ascent. We went about two miles at the rate of 30 miles an hour. While going up the ascent our speed was 20 miles an hour. I did not slacken any more when I Saw the signal, because I had slackened before. At the time of the accident I perceived a rocking. It was momentary. I no sooner felt it than we were over. There are no four-wiluded engines now used for passenger trains on the Brighton line. lam still stationed at Hawley. I drive a pilot en g ine. On the day of the accident I was d r i v i ng a pilot engine. I was twenty-two on the 7th of last May. I was on the Southampton line as a fireman. I have been brought up to engine work for the last seven years, working in the shops. I was never employed as driver until I went on the Brighton line. I had been a fireman three years before that. I was a bricklayer's labourer before that. I have driven the en g ine of a ballast train since the accident happ ene d. That was for about eight months. I did not drive a pilot engine then. I had the same wages. This is not the only accident I ever met with. I met with one since. Re-examined—That was on the Croydon railway, running into a train with a ballast engine. The matter was investigated before a Magistrate, and I was quite exonerated. It occurred in consequence of a person standing before the signal light, and hiding it. The fireman is the assistant to the driver. It is usual for drivers to serve first as firemen. By the COURT—On my return to work after the accident I was employed by the Brighton Company to drive a pilot engine. Shortly afterwards some slips occurred on the Croydon line, and I was then sent with a ballast engine to assist them, and after wards on my return to the Brighton line I again drove a pilot engine. Mr. W. Needham, a builder, residing at Brighton, had a full view of the train as it passed over the via duct, about half a mile from the cutting. It was then going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Cross-examined—Witness was ab ou t one-third of a mile from the railway at the time. J. Jackson—l was an engine -driver in the service of the Company at the time of the accident, and drove the six-wheel engine. I have been driver in the service of other Companies. My engine was hooked to the carriages. Before the accident oc curred, at about a mile and a half of the place, I shut off the whole of my steam. I had had very little on before. I had lessened my steam when we came to the top of the incline. After I had shut my steam off the work was done by the pilot-engine exclu sively. The greatest speed we were going when the accident happened was 22 or 23 miles an hour. Cross-examined—l have been a driver nearly five years. Mr. T. 11. Statham—l am the resident engineer of the Brighton Company. I have the charge of the locomotive department and of the line. There is an inclination of 20 feet, 1 in 264, at the place where the accident occurred. That is not by any means a severe gradient. There is an ascent of lin 264 between Copyhold cutting and Brighton. I have been employed ten years on railways, and cannot imagine ' there can be any danger in going down 1 in 264 at the rate of 30 miles an hour. They go much faster on the Grand Junction line. I rode up from Brighton that morning. The line was in good order. I cannot conceive how the rails could be raised by wet. The sleepers would not be affected while there was good ballast underneath. The soil is all rock at the bottom stratum. There is a clay above the rock. The solid rock is excavated two feet lower than the rails. There is no clay at all under neath where the rails or the sleepers are. The sleep ers are all laid on the solid rock. I examined the place the next day. The rails were damaged by the engine getting off the road. The drains were in per fect order, carrying off the water as fast as it came. No damage had been done to the rails by the wet. The rails were in perfect order that morning when we passed through. Cross-examined—An accident had happened the day before at Hayward's Heath tunnel, about a mile and a half on. An engine had got off the line. That ac cident I think was occasioned by something having been left on the rails. The tunnel was dark, and the men had been ballasting. The damage done was re paired under Mr. Hall's directions. Mr. Hall, Assistant Engineer to the Brighton Railway Company—l saw the accident occur. I was leavin g the cutting at the time, and was within five chain s of the train when it ceased to move. I o'ca mined the state of the road in the cutting that mo,-n -ill, and found it in good order. There had been ino raising of the rails. The road was in good order. The drains were in good working condition. I walked _through th e cutting on th at d ay. I was t h e fi rs t .., t -p APE Iperson who came up at the time of the accident. The , .-- __---- -- rails had bee n d amaged by the en g i ne runn ing off Warn.

It , took a ,>, very short time to repa i r the damage. ; ' 1 - :., Cross-examined—The wreck w as a ll cleared away - in a couple or three hours. The accident happened NI fl " 4 .4 at one, we began to repair the road at f our, and it was ''' • finished in a hour and a half. There were perhaps a dozen men at work at it. I think there were four bent rails taken out. I did not examine them so minutely , The inquiry occupied the Lord Chief Justice and a special Jury nearly three days, and was not con cluded until a late hour on Wednesday evening. A great number of witnesses for the plaintiff detailed the facts which led to the bankruptcy of Mrs. Birch, and her transaction with the defendant and a solicitor, Mr. King, who was alleged by the plaintiff to be in con spiracy with the bankrupt and and defendant to de fraud the creditors. It appeared that the deceased husband of the bankrupt was a creditor of the late Duke of Kent, to a large amount, mid the debt (5,0001.) was paid to the widow by her pre sent Majesty since her accession to the throne. Mrs. Birch employed her capital in estab lishing a boarding-house of the highest class, in St. James's-place, and subsequently in Bedford-place, Russell-square. In what way her embarrassments arose, did not appear in the evidence upon either side in this trial ; but the case for the defence was that, she had been for a long time in great pecuniary diffi culties, and was upheld mainly by the attorney, King, the defendant, and other compassionate friends. In the beginning of this year, the bankrupt, then residing in Bedford-place, and having good credit with a number of respectable tradesmen, furnished her house in a most expensive style, procuring a costly ser vice of plate from one person, and a hundred dozen of wine from others. In four days after the pur chase of the plate, the silversmith—one of the most extensive at the west-end of the town, was passing through Bedford-place, and as the locality was to him nearly as far east as to a late exquisite Secre tary to the Admiralty, he was in uisitive about the curiosities of th e di s t r i ct, and seeing, b y certain bills posted upon a wall, th a t at N o. 15 a sai s was then ac tually going on under an execution, and that plate and jewels were amongst the goods, he stepped in to see if there were anything in his way. Th e fi rst lot put up, was a chest of plate, which bore upon the wain scot case his own name and mark. At the same time another person of the same trade, Mr. Symonds, of Southampton-place, looked in at the sale, and also found a quantity of his goods, "going to go." The creditors, by the activity of the latter gentleman, were enabled to fasten upon a great portion of the property, and now a series of determine wh i whichthe present is one) are of necessity brought, whether the executions put in by the attorney King and the defendant Phillips, are not fraudulent, and the result of collusion with the bankrupt, to cheat the tradesmen who had so much confidence in her former respectability. The details of the evidence, although exceedingly provocative of laughter, whilst some of the witnesses were bearing testimony to their own guilt, would occupy more space than it is worth. The whole effect of it was to show, that at the very time when King and Phillips alleged they lent the money to Mrs. Birch, they were themselves in actual poverty. The Jury interrupted the Judge at the commence ment of his summing up, and found a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec.B. IN RE HARVEY GARNETT PHIPPS TUCKETT. The bankrupt in this case was described in his schedule as a merchant and continental commission agent of the Poultry. Few of our readers would re cognise in this description the gallant Captain Harvey Tuckett, of the 11th or Prince Albert's Own Hussars, who fought Lord Cardigan, and in consequence of the wound received in the recontre, was the cause of the solemn farce enacted in the House of Lords at the trial of that Nobleman by his Peers some eighteen or twenty months ago, The amount of debts in his schedule was about 3,0001., and 1,000/. further was admitted this day, when the choice of assignees was proceeded with, and M ess r s . P ow ell :and Poind e r were appointed, and accepted the trust. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 8. IN RE THOMAS PEER. The insolvent had been a coach proprietor upon the O. tford road, and attributed his insolvency chiefly to 6(3 railways. He was; opposed by. Mr. Dixon, the well-known horse dealer, for the price of two horses, wh:ch he bought from him shortly before his arrest.— Disoharged. IN RE HARBOUR. - Mr. Priest said that about four o'clock in the after noon the prosecutor entered his shop, and said he wished to have a private conversation with him. He was very much excited, and, after detailing the cir cumstances just spoken of, he gave a description of the prisoner, who was waiting outside. Witness instantly went out, and, having asked the prisoner if he was waiting for any person, he replied he was not. The prosecutor was then called out, and, pointing to the prisoner, he said, " That's the man." The prisoner was then brought in, and being told the nature of the charge, said he never saw the prosecutor before. The constable who received the charge, on search ing the prisoner, found the sum of 3d. and two dupli cates upon him. In answer to the charge, the prisoner declared he never saw the prosecutor before, and he was totally innocent. Mr. TWYFORD ordered him to be fully committed to Newgate for trial. FORGERY.—Dr. Bailed was again brought up this morning before Mr. Hall and Lord De Montford, having been remanded from last Thursday on a charge of forging an I 0 U in the name of a Mr. Smith, the miser of St. Giles's, deceased, for 2,0001. Mr. Flower, and two other gentlemen, appeared for the prosecntion, and Mr. C. Jones for Dr. Bailey. Mr. Robert Tolcher was the first witness called, who stated he was a short-hand writer. He attended the trial of Bailey v. Smith in July last, in the Court of Common Pleas. He was retained to take notes on that trial. That action was brought on a promissory note for 2,875/., dated the 9th of September, 1841. In that action the prisoner was examined as a wit ness. He produced the note. An I 0 U was also handed to the prisoner, then in the witness box. The prisoner swore that the signature to the promissory note was Smith. IMr. HALL here inquired if the several advocates wished the case to go to the next sessions, or to have another remand, in order that it might be tried at the January sessions. Mr. Jones, on the part of the prisoner, said that there would not be time to prepare Dr. Bailey's de fence for the next session. more extraordinary conduct, that of the prosecutor for giving, or the cabman for taking, money in such a manner. As it was he would commit him for trial. Alfred Ingall, a stout young man of eighteen, was charged with a criminal assault upon Helen Amelia Cranstoun, a girl of eight years of age, and fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. Applications were made by two persons to Mr. Henry for his advice and assistance under the follow ing and somewhat novel circumstances : The applicants stated that on Monday night last they went with three friends to the Pavilion Theatre in the Whitechapel-road, and paid for seats in the boxes, for the purpose of witnessing the performances, but as the curtain was about to be raised a broker en tered the house with an execution for arrears of rent, as they (the applicants) understood, and seized upon all the properties, so that the performances could not be proceeded with, and they (the applicants) as well as the whole of the audence were obliged to leave the theatre without having their money restored to them. They were anxious to ascertain from his Worship whether he could assist them in getting back their admission money, .or inform them how they could best recover it. Mr. HENRY told them he had no jurisdiction what ever in the case, and could not therefore assist the applicants. In a short time after an application was made on behalf of an omnibus proprietor, who had eight horses in the theatre at the time the execution was levied, and the animals were taken possession of by the broker with the other property, though the proprie tors had merely hired them by the night to be used in the perforthance of the piece of Mazeppa. Mr. HENRY, as in the former application, told the parties he had no power to interfere in the matter, as he broker was justified in law in seizing such property. WORSHIP -STREET. An adjourned case, in which Charles Greenwood a shoemaker, and Mary, his wife, were conjointly charged with having assaulted police-constables 70 and 369 of the K division, and rescued a prisoner from their custody, was disposed off. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun of Wed nesday. It was adjourned for the attendance of In spector Rutt, in consequence of a counter charge of drunkenness having been made against the policemen. The Inspector stated that on their arrival at the sta tion-house the constables were highly excited, but on being visited an hour afterwards on their respective beats, they were found to be quite sober and collected. Mr. BINGHAM was glad the officers had been able to exonerate themselves from the charge of drunken ness, but he felt bound to say that they had acted with unnecessary violence. The assaults of which they complained amounted to no more than a justifiable at tempt to repel an aggression. He should dismiss the charge, and he trusted that what had taken place would operate as a caution to the policemen as re garded their future conduct.—The prisoners were dis charged. 145 M 4 OM 5 OM 1 4 OM 515 M 8 OM 730 9 0 , 645 815 11 30 ... 9 0 10 30 ' 730 9 0 1130 145 E 3 0 E 845 10 0 12 45 E 245 E 5 0 615 11 15 12 30 E 315 6 15 445 E 6 15 930 430 ;7 30 9 0 745 845 11 30 SUNDAYS.

Mr. Flower, on the part of the prosecutor, said he did not wish to offer any objection. Mr. James Smith was then called, who stated that he lived in Jeffrey's-terrace, Camden-town; was the brother, and administrator of the deceased, Robert Smith. The I 0 IT produced was not the signature of the deceased. The promissory note produced was not in the deceased's writing. It was for 2,8751. The deceased lived in Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials. The note was dated 9th September, 1841. The promisory note was a much better resemblance to the deceased's writing than the I OU, which was for 2,8751. The date of the I O U was Aug. 12, 1841. Several other witnesses were called to swear to the hand-writing of the prisoner. Mr. John Bealby was called to prove that to the best of his judgment the signatures to the promissory note and the I 0 U were tracings. After sc me further evidence the prisoner was again remanded. The Court was very full during the whole examination. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mary M'Donald, about 50 years of age, of squalid and extremely wretched appearance, was charged with having been round at eleven o'clock last night, lying insensibly drunk in the carriage-way of Silver-street, Golden-square. Police -constable 135, of the C division, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that for several days and nights past the wretched woman had been wan dering about the nei g hb our h oo d i n a con ti nua l state of intoxication.

Having reason to knew that our former remarks on projected water companies had weight, and observing that two new projects for the supply of water are engaging the attention of the inhabitants south of the Thames, we shall repeat the substance of them on the present occasion. It will not have the less effect that the considerations then placed before the public have since received the most striking illustration in the very locality which the projectors of this year have chosen for the scene of their operations. We then said—" The first effect of competition between water companies is a lowering of the rates, by which all return on their capital is annihilated. The public is apparently benefited, but the benefit is only temporary, and soon exchanged for loss and in convenience—as on the one hand no lowering of the rates can increase the number of con sumers, nor on the other can any portion of the capital expended be removed, it is obvious that the Companies will, to use the language of the Report of a Committee of the House of Commons, first com pute to the point of ruin, then combine. But inasmuch as from the same number of rate-payers the return upon a large capital must be drawn, the rates will of necessity be raised to a higher level than that from which they had fallen. The Companies already sup • plying that part of the metropolis south of the Thames have for tke last year, as it would appear, been engaged in fierce competition. The rates have been lowered, and the Companies having in conse quence been brought to the point of ruin, have, as was predicted, made peace and raised the rates to a somewhat higher level than before their war. The rise has occasioned much irritation among the rate-payers, and forthwith two plans are projected; one to take water from the Wandle, the other from the Thames. The inhabitants already have to pay on more capital th an i s necessar y—i s it a t a ll p ro b a bl e , then, that a new cap i tal can mee t w ith any re t urn ? The present c ompan i es, if P ar li amen t ar y ev id ence i s to be trusted, d o not pay 51. per cent.—does any sane man, then, believe that the shareholders of a ne w Company would get one farthing of return, except by the process of a vet fiercer competition and further rise of rates, or even then anything like Si. per cent. ? If the existing Companies charge more than they are entitled to by Act of Parliament, they can be summa rily punished. If, keeping . within the letter of the law, they have yet entered into a nefarious combina tion to oppress the public, a remedy is within the competence of the Legislature ; but if the South Me tropolitans are wise, they will not encourage a fur ther outlay of capital, the interest on which they must ultimately pay, nor expect to escape oppression by adding to the number of their oppressors.—Even ing Paper.
