considerable number of spectators. The RI Ir
party. who are generally pretty fortunate, sustained on
this °gamine a severe defeat, owing to the very superior
ncfTofhourdrsday
bowling of Masan C. Clay and E. J. Austin. The first
innings orl the Hanford side gave them 130 tuns, at
the conclusion ef which the fluty adjourned for lunch,
which was supplied by Mr. Monekton, of the New Inn,

the wickets Messrs. H. Browne and S. Traill, the latter
of whom was the only one who made • stand. In this
innings Mr. C. Clay, brother of Mr. Clay &viler, of
'tailor(' House, took nine wicket. out of the eleven in
rapid sucocsaion,and the result gave the Blandford party
• snore of 44. They then followed their innings but
with even less success, making 31 runs, which inchubd
12 byes and wides ; and the game closed in favour of the
Hanford party by one innings, and 48 runs to spare.

The lady with children I spoke to wes in the first
carriage beyond the Post-office vaa. I cannot say
whether there were more than one lady in each of the
carrMgos near whieb I stood.
By Mr. EdwerdeeWood : I should say that It would
take me about two or three micutes to run to the scene
of the 'evident from my cottage.
By Mr. IL Salter (on behalf of the relatives of Mr.
Farrell): In the front part of the train there was no
attempt to escape from the carriage. In the binder
part I saw some people get out of the window, but after.
wards the door came open. In fact, in getting out of
the window they laid hold of the handle to help them,
and then they found, on it turning round, that the
door opened.
At the conclusion of the evident,e of this witness,
Mr. Littler said he had reason to believe that the
whole of the statements made by her were • picture
drawn from her imaginat;oll. What .1. had said about
tho lady at the window of the carriage was so horrible
that he thought it ought to be disposed of before they
went further into the G&W He should b 3 glad to have
the evidence of passengers by the train who would be
able to speak on the pint described by the last witness ;
.‘ud he was authorised to state that the London and
North Western Ittilway Company would pay all the
reasonable expenses of such witneases.
Mr. Fred. Medely, merehaut, of Birmingham, at
present residing near Llanclulas, and Cm Rev. John
lUvies, rector of Llandulas, eye-witnoaaoagof the catas-
trophes described what they saw. Mr. -Meanly stated
that immediately after the accident he found an empty
pataffin berry!, with the top and bottom blown out,
lying in a field about 50 yards from the point of =alb
shin. It had evidently been blown over the well of the
field which adjoined the reils and hod rolled down the
incline to the place where the witness found it.
The court then adjourned.

to the line in order to get into them, but he had not

Ile ran to the spot, a distance about a quarter of a

pass the fire, but had to to round. When he got there
the passenger carriage next to the front mail can was
catching fire.
Mr. Littler annoullbed that at the proper time he
should be able to show moat oonolusively that the nana.

door (which was unlocked), got the ladies out of the

guard was standing on the rail of the post office van,
