of Rood v. frordes. The complainant is a farmer at
Street, and defendant lessee of Street turnpike gate.
The substance of the own was this :—On the 6th
ult. complainant pamed through the turnpike gate
with an empty cart, but upon the understanding
that he was to return the same day with a load Of
reeds such as are used for thatching ricks. A tall
of 4d. was demanded of him by Thomas Bryant, the
toll-collector, which he (complainant) held to be an

Wcialey Hole, near Walls, being followed by two
other hauliers in charge of • couple more vans. They

by some means the chain became entangled in his
leg, by which he was thrown down, and the horses
moving on at the moment, the wheel paseed over
him, creahing him severely. The other hauliers,
seeing the serious nature of the accident, one of them
hurried batik to acquaint the parents, and
to common medical attendance, which was rendered
as soon as possible, but to no purpose, death soon
terminating the poor toting fellow's sufferings, to the
great grief of his family and friends.

three mile. from Holston. The mine Wee principally
worked on the north lodes, where there is a Mat rod

bed been former workings, there was an old shaft,
which wee soils* over, and the sonar covered to
Burritos to a depth of three or four fathoms, with a
quantity of slimes from the tin dressing floors. The
old shier; was sunk forty or fifty yearo ago, and
around it, at surface, the tin streamers bad worked
sbout half an acre in extent, and the whole of that
space was covered with slime and refuse from the
stamps. Some trihuters, within the last week or
two, liad been working in the back of the 19 fathom
level on the mouth We, and it it supposed they
worked up too close against the toiler In the shaft,
and weakened its support, otuurequently the seller
gave way, and the slime and water above the
anti at surface poured down the shaft. The "run"
was so extensive that about BO fathoms in length, 90
fathoms in breadth, and 11 fathoms in depth of the
" country " round the shaft fell in, with all the
slime, water, and stuff by which it was covered. It
is estimated that about 2,000 square fathoms fell in,
carrying with it ten ore dosen dressing frames. The
slime poured down the shaft in immense quantities,
rushed through a 24 fathom crosscut, then down
another elicit, thence into the 35 fathom cross-cut,
and was thus conveyed to the deeper part of the
mine, on the north lodes, where about 50 men were
underground at the time.. Thee. had to run and
escape for their lives. It is said they came up the

sump abaft like a swarm of been. The pouring nof
the slime had ceased • rush of air in the levels, and
the men's lights were put out. The men who
escaped say the noise in the mine caused by the in-
pouring slims and rushing air was equal to the loud-
est thunder, and even people at surface heard an
awful sound below as of subterranean thunder. The
map shaft was 65 fathoms deep, and the slime rose
to the 44 fathom level, thus tilling the mine to a
depth of 41 fathoms. All the miners escaped exoept
seven, three of whom were married, said one has left
