RAILWAY 14.CCIDIPT8.- During the past week the old
w "thee misfortune never cornea alone," has been
triullg:verified. A series of accidents, which, although
fortuentely not of • fatal nature, but still of • very
serious description, have occurred on the railway now
being made from here to Portland. On Thursday a
MIL named William Hodder, was engaged in wheeling
a barrow filled with earth, on a plank in • cutting,
when the plank broke, and the poor fellow was pre-
cipitated from • great height to the ground. Medical
assistance was soon obtained, when it wee found that,
although severely braised no bones were broken. -On
Thursday afternoon another man, named John Hallett,
met with a very serious accident. It appears that he
was at work in the putting in Wylie road, engaged in
filling wagons with earth, when a mass of earth, which
Mil been undermined, fell upon him, burying the poor
fellow under it. His companions, however, soon ex-
oersted him from his dangerous position, and he was
removed to the infirmary, where he received every
attention at the hands of Dr. Moorhead. In this ease
also nohones were broken, but the unfortunate man's
lep and head were frightfully bruised.- The other
accident was of a very serious nature, and it was
reported that the sufferer had expired from the injuries
he had received. This, however, from late inquiries is
untrue, but the man lies in a very critical state, and
at times his life is iliepaired of. His name is John
Timm arid he is a carman on the railway works. On
Monday, whilst engaged with some empty trucks, by
some means he got crushed between two of them, cam.

IMPORTANT DECINIOR IN =MCCORT Or A
—On Tuesday. in the Admiralty Court, Dr.
Luthington pronounced an important judoment in
the Luse of the Haniburgh, on. the question of •
bottionry bond. The suit was instituted by • bond-
holder against the owners of the cargo, and the
point was how far the master of • ship would
hypothecate • eerie' and its contents for repairs.
In this can the ship was repaired at S. Thomas's,
and there was a monthly mad to England. A con-
siderable sum was raised. The vessel and the
freight realised between £7OO and ZSOO, and now it
was sought to recover the balance of about k. 1,400
from the owners of the cargo. Mr. Millward and
Mr. C. E. Clarkson were for the plaintiffs, and the
Queen's Advocate and Dr. Tristram for the defen-
dant& The learned Judge gave an elaborate and
lucid judgment, and was governed by the opinions
of the Privy Council in a former cane, that, where
practicable, notice should be given to the owners of
cargo before the hypothecation of their property for
repairs. No such notice had been given in this case,
and he pronounced against the validity of the bond
in the present action, with oasts. This was in his
opinion an important decision both to captains how
they pledged a ship, and to persons how they
advanced money._ .

Taylor, booking clerk at the South-Western Railway
