ACCIDEICT TO • CLERK OF THZ Comias—AD
accident of an alarming end dangerous character occurred to
Hr. J. F. Veryell, of Lewes, at Canterbury Races (where he
was officiating is clerk of the course). It seems that the
bell which is rung for clearing the eourse is suspended from
the top of a tall poet, and as Mr. Vernal left the weigttiog
room to attend to other Meioses in connection with the
proceedings, the woad-work pee way, and the bell, which
weighed 6$ pounds, fell upon his heed. His bat wee Bombed
down over his fees, sod blood was Bowie; from a severe
scalp wound on the top of his skull, bat he WM not lone-
sib's. A medical gentleman dressed the wound, and Mr.
Verrill retired from the course, bat be ma able to attend to
his duties on the wood day, apparently but slightly the
worse for his severe blow. How he soaped instant death is
marvellous.—SrrreiStondsref.
THREE MEN DROWNED WHILE BATHING.—On
Thursday, lir. John Prout, the blind chemist of Lilies.
near Launceston, went bathing at Bode, in company with
his son and a young man named Lownden, preparing for the
medical profession with Hr. Donlon, of Litton. The three
were observed by thole on shore to go into the water laod-
in -head ; a huge wave enveloped themand they disappeared.
This caused the greatest anxiety to those on shore. Mr.
Russell Frost, son of Mr. R. K. Frost, solicitor of Lane-
restore, gallantly plunged into the water, and swam towards
the spot where the ill-fated men were last sees, but not in
time to render any assistance. His own life was imperilled,
as it was with ocesidersbla difficulty he could reach the
beach. In less than half an hour the three deed bodies were
picked up, and their clothes were found on the rocks. A
heavy ground swell had been on all the ;aortae —a moat
clamorous condition of the sea to i expeeiwed bathos.
It is supposed that the elder Prout was struck by a wave
and was sbeing carried out to sea by the retreating tidy
when the other two attempted to sive him, sod all were

THE LATE Riots IN BELEAST. —A deputation
from Beliest waited on Friday upon the government &alba.
rite. at Dublin Castle, for the purpose of premenag a
memorial which had been agreed to at • public meeting of
the Roman catholic body of that town, in reference to the
late riots. The deputation was received by Sir Thos. Larocca,
the under secretary, and by the Attorney-Cemenl. The
Solicitor General was aim present. The memorial stated
that the late deplorable riots had bean attended with
more fetid results to life and property than say previous
disturbances of which the tows ben been the scene—that
the memot:alists believed the originators of these riots had
ban actuated by feelings of animosity towards catholic)
generally, and directed all their efforts to their @ernes is-
jury—that the memorialists had lost all confidence is the
10.0 l police, sod rejarded that body as utterly unfit for
the duties &deigned to it—that this impression ma founded,
not upon the inadequacy of the numbers of the force, hut us
its exclusive constitution and well-known identification
with the feelings, sympathies, and even disorders, of one
section of the community—that so long as secret societies,
hiving sectarian object., were oountenanceil or blasted,
there would exist fruitful elements of discord, which would
not fail to result in such fearful scenes as have been lately
[ witnessed—that the catholic' of Belfast yielded to no mi-
Moe of the community in their respect for the law, and
that they looked for that kenos which, as subjects of the
empire—admitted to the full meteors of equality—they were
entitled to expect—They, therefore, pray that a royal ooni-
mission may be issued, with full powers to inquire into and
investigate their statements, as well as all matters directly
or indirectly connected with the °ries and costiseance of
j the riots. Si: Thomas Lamina mid the ropreseatatioes which
bad bun made by the deputation would receive the best

SUSPECTED MURDER THROUGH JEALOUSY.

On Saturday morning, a cold-blooded murder was

neighbourhood of Chadwall Heath. She tiers became
so-
gaeiated with a sea named Francis Waas, a jobbing
tabourer, and they ON= to have cohabited es man and
wife. It would appear that she soon got tired of the con-
nexioo, for about three months since she left Wass, and
engaged herself as a kind of housekeeper to an old man,
named James Warren. nearly 80 years of age, and to his
son John, who wee about her own age, and who
made her a proposal of marriage. This she accepted,
and the beans were reed yesterday weak at Dagenham
church. In the meantime Wane had made frequent request'
to her to return to him, and on learning that she was about
to be married, he was heard to say that the wedding
should not take plops. On Saturday moraine he wee in a
public-house sear the heath. While he was there, Blunt,
who had been out marketing, met a finial* friend, and they
stopped immediately opposite the door, and in the wane of
eonfonatios Hrs. Blunt mad* some allusion to her mar.
rings, which wee supposed to have been overheard by Was&
I Soon afterwards old Warren went into the wuhtionse,
and saw Blunt apparently leaning over the copper. He
called to her, and getting no answer, he put his arm partly
round her waist to raise her, when in consequenceof his
feebleness, be stumbled, and partly fell with her. He was
then horror-stricken to Sod his future daughter-in-law de-
luged in blood, which wee Sowing from frightful gashes

He immediately hobbled out of the cottage, and
gave an alarm. She wee, however, quite dead. Wane was

peed, for he was wet to above the waist. Portions of the
upper. pert of hie dress wets spotted with blood, and a picas
of his waistcoat bed been torn off. He was removed to
Ilford gaol, where the charge of murder was duly entered
against him. The prisoner, who is a tall powerfully-built
fellow, will be examined before the local magistrates, the
deed having bees committed beyond the metropolitan dis-
trict. The usual aeries has been sect to Mr. C. C. Lewis,
the coroner for Essex.

street about 6 o'clock on Ronda,. eventing. I and my wife,
with Hate, went up to Leach's. I bad some green peas.
After that I became giddy. I told Ned (Leach) I imagined
I was going to be put in prima. Ned mid, • No, no, you
have done nothing.' I then said I would go and
drown myself. About twelve o'clock Mary and me
went to bed. Ned and his wife went to bed
at the same time. At four o'clock in the morning I
thought I heard some one tap-tap at the door. I touched
Mary, and said, 'The devil must be here.' Leech's wife
got up and weal down stabs, and when she came bark I got
op end fasteeed the door. I went back to bed, and heard the
tap-tap at the door. I put my hand out for my tremors,
which were on the floor, and I took the knife out of my
pocket into bed, and sakto Mary, ' The first one that comes
in to strike me, I will put the knife into him. I then
began trembling, and, if I think rightly, it was then I did
the job. I think I made • sewed blow at her. I knew
what I war doing. Ido not know whether it was thee I did
this, pointing with his linger to his own throat. He mid,
• The devil dose it, and no one else.'" The prisoner, who

quiry, was then removed.

of ire furniture. Having thus unburdened himself of his
sad tale, Kern* returned to his room, from which load
screams were soon heard booing. Alarmed by the noise, Yrs.
Herne and the neighbour previously alluded to, rushed up
into the apartment, in which a horrible eight presented
itself. Side by side en the floor lay the little boy and his
father, with their throats cut from ear to ear, their heads
being nearly severed from their bodies. The floor was
saturated with blood, and in the Cass of both the anklets.

E..VORMOUS FORGERIES AT LEEDS.

On Saturday, Thomas Bade, manager of J. W.
Marsden, iros 111.41t0t, was placed in the dock of the Tome
on a charge of being implicated is extensive for-
geries oommittsid by his employer' who absconded a few
days ego. Mr. Bond appeared on behalf of the director
of the Leeds Banking Company, and Kr. Granger for the
defence. The court was crowded with perms aaxious to
hear the case.

--Mr.iiialkarJoy, oil merchant, mid—l wow of the com-
mittee of the Leeds Banking Company. I find J. Wood-
head Marsden a lane debtor to the beak, to the amount
of several thousand pounds. On Wednesday Men-
den was sent for to the bank. Mr. Bonk, the
prisoner, &needed on his behalf, for Marsden did not
appear. There was a large boodle of bills produced bearing
the prisoner's signature—" p. pro J. W. Mantles, Thos.
Sails." They were placed in the primer's hands to look
over. &monist the somber there was the bill now pro-
duced for li If. 2a. 6d., drawn by Mendes, psi pro Ikeda
and purporting to bear the acceptanoe of Geo. Wilaon, of
Cronlandnreet, Holbeck.
Mr. Bond—What was Sails sand about the WM ?

Warier—He was asked if they were good bells, and he
replied that they were not. He was then inked if they
were forgeries, and he said they were. No other questions
were asked. I was present at another meeting yesterday.
Mr. Granger—How lung were you engaged in conver-
sation ?

Mr. Joy—Yon or lees for an hoer. I did not my to him
that it would be better for him to make • clean breast of
it. It was said by Mr. Marks Butler, one of the nor.
mires. It wee suited to him that it would be briar for
him to do so. Attu stating so to him, prisoner replied,
" Theo I will make • clean breast of it mid tall you every.
thing." There were seven or eight gentlemen resent on
I the orasion. Mr. Butler, myself, Mr. Bollsad, Mr.
Weals, and some directces, were ' backwards
and forwards during the meeting. . Dosistharpe, I
believe, was also in the room. Notes were made by Mr.
Wailes of what the prisoner rid. I believe prober
pre as every information be °mkt after that war-
roe. I saw the prisoner again yesterday the bank.
When I went into the room I found him there. He placed
upon the table several books, but there was one book in
particular. This wee intended to explain the affairs
more fully. Prisoass was with us about half an hour. He
rid • book f all of bills had bees foeged. These bills num-
bered above 1,000, and represented • sum of upwards of
80,0004 The book I mesa was numbered up to the extent
of 1,000 bills. I had the prisoner apprehended list night on
my own responsibility. I sit, as • man of honour, that such
• gigantic fraud had been committed that I must have him
taken into custody.
. . . .

Mr. Irwin— W ithie what tuna was the 80,000/. worth a/
bills paid into the bank
Mr. Joy—l really can't tell. These (*sterile have extended
over years, There are at least 68,0001. worth of forged bills
out, and we have 100001. of forged bills also in the bank.
Mr. Granger—Did the Oscar not may to you that Mr.
Green/and kaiiir all about ?

Mr. Joy—He did. Mr. Gressdand Iris not present.
Marsden bas absconded.

Mr. Grantor—Did he not tell you further that he had no
interest in this matter beyond beirefitiing Marsden
Mr. Joy—He did.
Mr. Ban—Was any bill book delivered up to you ?
bfr. heBe delivered up two bill books, one smaller
and the r larger. The larger book was protected by a
clasp•lock, and he stated that she bills named in it were all
forged, with one or two exceptions. The smaller book he
represented u cootaioing bona fide customers' bins. Pri-
soner mid the entries in these books were all in his head-
writing.
Mr. J. Servant rid, lam cashier to the Leeds Banking
Company. John Woodhead Marsden kept an account with
us for five or six years, and up to . the 17th September.
That account was principally managed by the prisoner
Satire who was book-keeper and cashier to Marsden.
Priam paid in bills and 'adorned the name, and drew
cheques for and on amount of Marsden. On the 28th
April, prisoner brought to the Bank, on blandirn's ICOODRI,

the prisoner prod.oced a payment ticket, dated 28th April,
1864, afiri lipid J. W. Marsden, Thos. Smile—which is
in the handwriting of the prisoner. At the back of the
document there is a memorandum in the ptieomitr's bead-
