COLLISION UN THE SCOTILSU CENTRAL

R tILIVAY.

On Tuesday afternoon, an accident of a rather se-
rous character occurred un the Scottish Csntral Railway,
us at tireenhilL O.:cation-it trains were being despatched
from lerhert to Greeohill TATIOWI hours of the day. in '
eonnectioa with Falkirk Tryst, and at half.past four
o'clock, a train, consistieg of are carriages, was sent off
without a break. On coming near Grsenhill it was sig-
nalled from that station to stop, is consequence of an en-
gine being op the line farther along. It was stopped ac
euriliagly, but for some reason which has not yet been es•
plained, the driver uncoupled the engine from the etniages.
die bad just left tha trail, with a view to ascertain the rouse
of stoppage, when ho perceived the carriages in motion
down the line. lle immediately returned to his engine
and went in pursuit of the carriages; but the pasqingers
beginning to leap out in•on the lice, he berme alarmed
feat he should run over goose of them, and accordingly
slackened the pace tf th^ engine. In the nu antime, a'
goods train came des. f um Lerbert. and before it could Le
brought to a stop, ran ior.i .he other. swishier flesbelase
carriage to pieces, aau doing other damage. The personal
injuries were chiefly sostatecd by pa/wagon leaping from
the carriages while descending the incline. A medical
gentleman from Carluke, whose name has not yet been
ascertain-a, la this way had one of his le3s broken, and
wawa! other peewee, we believe, were more or less
butt. With reference to the want of the break, w e learn
that the station agent at Larbert had a very efftc,ent and ex-
rivp4.,A statist his command, quite sufficient to meet tinT
amount of traffic which might fume durum the Tryst. lie
Lad, we understand, fru extra signal men, two out-door
assistants (old servant* of the company), one eminent
thing clerk, the euphany's insiicctor of police, end a
ameba at extra porters. The whole of the cattle tr.lllc
arrangements were under the personal superintendence
of the goods manager, who had a staff of liasittALts with
him. Foe the special passenger trains two regular guards,
awl an estrus guard who tins 'WWI in that capacity lour
=oaths, were at the station. The blame is said to rest with
the agent, who allowed his in-door assistant to leave the •
office and go to the Tryst ground, instead of retaining him for
the purpose fur which be was specially given ; and thus his
attention was too much taken up with the honking of 11
the paesenzere, and the outdoor errangements lrft entirely,
at that time, to the asiiiitan's. The train wu sent off with
oat a !week • carriage, although there were several at the
station ; and the engine-driver was aot informed of the I
want of one, and the enard cely told after the train had
been started. We are informed that at the Caledonian juna
tioo, after the train was uncoupled, it stood for about
minute until it was caught by the wind, when it von down
the honk with its own momentum. It is so tar satisfactory
to :earn that the comp.ny cannot be charged with allotting
too gnat an amount of additional work to the regular staff
to per:orm, and that the manager himself personally in.
opened the whole arrangements during the first day of the
tryst, and saw that they were completed betore leaving them
entirely in the hanis of the servants.—Cutedonian,l/ercury.

TO THE BENEVOLENT-W:t.NTED, FIVE

FOUNDS.

We appeal to tho benevolent and liberal : to those
exalted souls with deep pockets that, despising the wrctch,ll
distinctions bet., en mac and man by Monsoon and no
filanamen, would rescue the unfortunate. The case is
simple, pathetic, but of daily occurrence. Hire it is in
brief the penny Lilts of the reporter put into a little silver
@asperses.
A young woman, named Jane Tanner—" a delicate-
looking young parson, whose fees was shockingly die-
figured "—is unwillingly Waitaki by her mother to Wor-
shilestreet, to charge her false lover—(impulsive creature !)
—William Holloway, with an &moult. On a recent oeca-
-11312 be had knocked out two of her teeth ; but she had (gr-
eet:la him that—be had expressed suds sorrow for the
untoward event. On Tuesday, however, Its tame to her,
and at once asked her fur money:
" She told him that she had not then a penny, when he
flew into a violent paseinn, end dealt her men a violent
blow in the face, that she became partially stunned, end
both her eyes were swollen and contused as they now
apper.red."
She endeavoured to escape; he then felled her to the
earth, and—(his - poor victim was about to become •
12100111 T..)." continued beating and kicking her about the
body, till there was warmly a put of her poses that was
sot covered with bruises.' Well, the betrayed, outraged
Jane Tanner would not prosecute at the sesame. " Oh,
no, sir"—she said, and the words ought to hove gone like
knives into William Holloway--. no, sir, I can't proem%
him ; let him go away ; I don't wish him to puniaboill."
Whereupon Holloway is fined "the highest amount of
penalty " the law allows, namely 51., or in default two
months' imprisonment.
Holloway could not pay the money; therefore took a
ride to Coldbath-fields in the Wens' Tall. Now, is Hollo-
way imprisoned for knocking down, heating, and kicking
Jane Tanner ? Certainly tut ;he incarcerated for not
having 44. to pay for the luxury. Had be possessed
with another it. to back him—he might have departed to
knock down, beat, aid kick Jan* Tanner again.
A fcw days before at the same other, " a stylishly-dressed
man, who gave the name of George Smith" is lifted or.,
with the alternative of two months* donne, for giving an
%off( naive woman two black eyes, and en wounding her
farm that " her dress was soaked with blood." What then ?
George Smith paid the money like—oh, like a Briton!
Now, what—oh, wisdom of English law—what is the dif-
ference Ix tw.en William Holloway oakum on pri-
son diet, end George Smith, the picking his way in
perfect freedom ? Answer—five perasia!—Piesch.
