SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MR. HENRY.
EDWARDS, M.P.

It is with very deep regret that we announce to our
readers that our esteemed member, Mr. Henry
Edwards, has met with a very serious accident. On
Thursday night whilst at the Cannon-street station,
London, he fell off the platform, breaking his leg. He
was at once removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where everything was done to lessen the hon.
gentleman's acute sufferings. There is one circum-
stance in this extremely affair which, although it
does not lessen in the slightest degree the grief which
will be universally felt, will at the same time
be regarded with extreme thankfulness, and that is,
that Mr. Edwards narrowly escaped an awful death,
for a train was at the time just coming into the station.
We are sure Mr. Edwards will have the sympathy of
every person in Weymouth and of every shade of
political feeling, in this his hour of sore trial and
suffering.

There seems every likelihood of their being another
cause ce/ebrd in Weymouth. Owing to divers
questionable dealings with other persona' monies a
certain individual deemed it wise to seek a "fat
serener clime." He wee not allowed to remain,
however,for Superintendent 'Vickery was so extremely
anxious as to his welfare that he dispatched one of his
men, P.C. Bartlett, to restore him to his native air.
This constattle found his man at Jersey and brought
him over an Thursday by the Channel Islands steamer
Avila. The matter had already aroused public
intercet, and a considerable number of persons had
assembled on the quay to greet the runaway. By a
clever place of hardness on the part of the police, what
would doubtless bare been too overwhelming a
reception on the part if his Weymouth friends was
avoided.
On Friday morning Edgar Milian Loyd' alias
Aokbeld, was brought bet ire the Worshipful the
Mayor (U, R. Eliot, Esq.), Cr. Drew, H. Haggett,

three weeks last past, he Woe the bailee of certain
money, to wit, the sum of Eb Its. Si. belonging tons

warrant which he now produced he went to Jersey on
Tuesday night and apprehended the prisoner, and
