terday in the examinatioe of James Palmer, • workman
employed in Chatham Dockyard, on the charge of wilful

at Leeds on Thunaloy. On the subject ef ventilation of
mines, the "dumb-draft" system of Mr. Mather, of
South Shields, waa spoken of in terms of high
approval, and it was recommended that the act of
1860 be so amended am to contain provisions for rendering
harmless gases in all accessible parte of coal mines. In
another section. it was suggested that weighing machines
be placed on every pit-hap, and the appointment of •
check weigh:non on behalf of the men, the want of which
has led to so disastrous results at Auckland, was also re-

is much encouraged in Lanarkshire, Scotland, was forcibly
denounced, and the " butty " system, which prevails is
the Staffordshire districts, was referred to in similarly con-
demnatory terms. The appointment of sub-inspectors was
