gentleman, who is the son of the publisher of the Law
Journal, has sustained a compound fracture of the
right wrist, and suffers from cerebral irritation. He
appears to have been struck on thg neck; and for
some time after the accident there was an effusion of
blood from the left ear—an unfavourable symptom,
upon which vomiting supervened; but we are glad to
learn that the latest accounts describe Mr. lace to be
progressing as favourably as can be expected. This
gentleman is lying at a small alehouse in the village of
Attleborough.
Mr. Bryaon, of the firm of Messrs. Robert Bryson and
Co., of Glasgow, aged 60 years. This gentleman is
Buffering from a severe contusion over the kidneys
and floating ribs, and from a general shook of the
system. His injuries are not considered dangerous.
Mr. Dallas, of Glasgow, aged 58 years. This gentleman
was sitting in the same carriage with Mr. Richmond,
who was killed. He has sustained a fractured rib on
the right side, but his case is not dangerous, and he is
considered to be doing well.
Miss Richmond, aged 17 years, daughter of the deceased
Mr. Richmond. This lady has received several severe
contusions about the face, and has some indication of
having suffered cerebral mischief. Her distress of
mind or. learning the fatal result of the accident to
her father wan painfully acute; but she has since ex-
hibited uncommon fortitude under her accumulated
distresses.
These three persons were brought on to Nuneaton,
where they remain at the Station Hotel.
Mr. Jennings, a leather factor of London, received a
blow over the eye, and was otherwise, slightly injured,
but he went on in the train to Manchester, and is
doing well. Two ladies, whose names have not been
obtained, were also slightly cut about the head, but
both of them proceeded to their destination after hav-
ing obtained medical attention.
Lieut. G. E. Corrance, 76th Regiment, was considerably
shaken, and has • contusion upon the shoulder, but
ho was well enough to return to London on Monday 1
night.
Among the remarkable escapes is that of the guard of
the first break van, Wyatt. His van rolled over three
times before it settled in the field, and afterwards bore
the concussion of a Snit-class carriage, which was
broken to pieces upon it, some of the inmates being
killed. Wyatt was found buried under the luggage
contained in his van, and he was so little injured as
to be able to return to Nuneaton yesterday.
Edgar, the conductor of the train, who rode in the
second-class break carriage, sustained a contusion of
the leg, and with this case the list of known casualties
is closed.
