THE HIGHWAY ACT.
Mr. DODSON whited be know whether under the High.-
way District Act of 1882 the towns not subject to the jure-
diction of the board, but adjoioing or surrounded by high-
way districts, were legal plum for the meeting of the board.
Sir G. GREY replied that under the Highway Act of
1862 some doubts bad existed on this point, but byan amend-
ment to the Local Government Act mule last session tow's'
adjoining or surrounded by highway districts were emit&
toted legal places for the meeting of highway district
board.

Secretary to the Admiralty whether soy steps bad been
taken towards mustier the privilege of beerier the "blue

Lord C. PAGET said that be had much pleasure in
stating that her Majesty had auctioned the in of the

Naval Reserve,end having &certain portion of their crews be-
longing to that fora. H. had further to state that the

SA NITARYREGULATIONS FOR FIELD SERVIOE.

Sir H. VERNEY asked the CederSeere7tary oiitatiirr
War whether the sanitary regulations for held Derek, issued
by the Secretary of State were obeyed helm the army took
the field for the Asbaatee war.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said that the sanitary
regulatioue ware in the bands of every surge* is the army.
It Will especially laid down in those regulations that the
senior medical officer present was respqnsible for wing
they were fully raided- out, and he preenmed, therefore,
that they were carried oat in the instance referred to.

Lord J. MANNERS said the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer admitted that the settlement of the malt duty was
worthy of consideration, but he had dose so in
au unsatisfactory manner, and in fent the whole
tan of his speech went to show that not only
was the consideration of the question inexpedient at this
time, but in all human probability it would be inex-
pedient at say other time. He quite agreed with the right
boo gentleman thetas a gotten' rule it was unwise to make
• declaration with regard to any particular duty, looking at
it in • mere financial point of view. But when they came
to cotaider this particular duty there were social and poli-
tical considerations which might reader a departure from
that general rule seediest.
Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART (who spoke amidst loud
eries of ' Divide") observed that the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer bad exhorted them not to pass abstract resolutions ;
bet he would remind the house that the repeal or diminu-
tion of the dutiestr:lan zer, advertisseasets, and wine bad in
each case been by • resolution of that anteater.
He should thin , therefore, that there must be • consider-
able difference of opinion on the subject between the
right hon. gentlemen and some of his colleagues. He
thought that free-trade agriculturists had been trusted on
the principle of " Heads, I win' and tails, you lose." He
did, therefore, hope the: at the next opportunity the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would take their use into
consideration mid do them justice. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. NEATE (who bad the following notice on the paper,
" Tbst the °wean and occupiers of lend, by maim of the
immunities from taxatiou which they now enjoy, sad the
comparative lightness of the burdens to which they are
' subject, ere not entitled to any priority of consideration
on any review of the taxation of the country") spolocred
for not being praseot to move it ; but be bad been under the
impression that the house would mot meet till six o'clock.
He admitted that he had placed his notice ou the paper as a
kind of challenge to the honourable member for Warwick-
shire (Mr. Newdegate), and he regretted that he had not
beer ia bis place to make it good. If he had had au op-
portunity of movie( his resolution, he should have observed
that Incould sot regard the agitation for a repeal of the
malt tax in any other light than as one intended fur the
halide of the leaded intonate. It we, true that it had been
argued ea a consumers' question ; but he confessed he did not
think the bon. member would feel any great anxiety for the
good of the consumer. (Hear.) Now he proposed to show
that the agricultural interests enjoyed a great immunity
from tuatara. (Oh.) The most serious burden upon the
lead was no doubt tithe ; but as to the poor rate, about
which no much we, said, he did sot see how it wee more a
burden upon land than upon any other property. The web
culturista oompleieed of the exemption of steck-in.trade
but after all, what good would it do the agriculturists if
that exemption were repealed ? If there were a notional '
poor rate there might be something in the qumtion ; but
when the stock-in-trade of • parish was all of the same kind,
it could not make any real difference ; it would only make
the difference between rating half or the whole of each men's
property. No doubt laud did contribute something, but it
did not contribute to the same extent as personal property ;
sad he thought it ought to pay up the arrears which were
due from it in coosequeoos of the unjust exemption it had
so long enjoyed from the payment of probate
duty. (Oh, oh.) The land was in feet in the
position of a man that presented a very small
account to some on. that had a very long
account against him. He would do much better sot to stir
is the matter. (Hear, bear.) On. of the great questions
that the next parliament would have to consider would be
that of direct as • t indirect taxation. Now, the malt
tax served as • buffer to shield the lead from any attack;
but if it were ever removed it would leave it &toluenes
against inquiry into inequalities from which it now hue-
find. (Hear, hear.) Besides, bon. members opposite could
Pot seriously believe that • repeal of the malt tax
would form part of either the first or locoed,
or yet the third budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
whoever he might be ; was it, then, worthy of &great party
to hold it up to the mutiny for mere ehrtioseeriag pur-
peers ! (Cheers, and cries of " Oh.")

Mr. NE WDEGATE intended to rota for the =midmost
of his hoe. (need, mot with say view to the immediate re-
peal of the malt duty ; but haying simply reference to the
fiscal position of the agricultural interest and the non.
roamer of beer, sod to the iosquality in the adjustment of
the public burdens produced te by the *intense of the tax.

Mr. MAGUIRE asked when the promised bill for regu-
lating and reforming the Irish Court of Admiralty would he
introduced, sad what were the intentions of the govern-
ment respecting it.
The ATTORNEY•OENERAL for IRELAND said the

bulk of this duty was paid by Bagiaad, and the bow gen-
tientan urged that there was se ream why it should not be

thee he entirely agreed with the hoe. gentleman that, so
far from the exalusivame of the malt duty being a reason
against itt repeal, It would be • great reason for its »pea'.
Let him illustrate the me. Sappers that in Sootlaad and
'raked there was sot • plies of whisky consumed, but
instead of that they used alder ; if that were eci, it was quite
clear that the cam of the hoc. gentlemen against the malt
tax would be immensely *chewed by its exolusimees.
But that vie not the case. In Woad the pflnci-
tal
so= of the country was beer and ale ;
and Ireland the principal and almost the
exclusive strong liquor of the country was spirits.
Scotland and Ireland were already taxed much more heavily
than ILaglaad is respect of strong liquors. Perhaps the
would tall himthat Soetolimen should not drink so much
whisky, but they were themselves the best judges of that,
sad et say rate whoa they had reduced it to toddy it did
not appear to him to be much a subject of coodemnatioo.

objected to embodying prematurely a general

ration in the shape of a resolution of the house,
sad he felt that the argument of the hon, gentleman
had • tesideecy to lead him further into the subject than he
thought it desirable to go now. With regard to the sum
at the disposal of parliament in any future yam for the
remission of tam, that wee matter oo which it was impoe-
sihle to form any competent judgment, bat totally apart
from special and extraordinary cams, he thought he might
he justified in humbly entertaining • sanguine hope for
the future of oar country, but he was unwilliog to
fetter his own liberty or the liberty of the house
by any declaration as to a particular tax,
and he thought that the hones would sgree with him in the
opinion that it was unwise for them to embarrass themselves
by making say such declaration, which moat be impm feet
on its grenade, and might hays to be entirely reversed by the
neeeesity of future action. He moved that the chairman
do leave the chair which would be analogous to moving
the previous question.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT EGIIAN.

The inquest was resumed yesterday when, after
some unimportant inikasee,
Mr. J. Hunter, levers keeper, of Wellingtometreet,
Strand, proved that he was awe swam sews[
in the mood guard's van of the second traie,;and be rw
the break applied just before the collision.
Joseph Honer, the driver of the first train, confirmed the
previous evidence as to the time the train started from
Ascot, adding that he remised no intimation that a second
train was following him within five minutes, which was
not to stop at Einem. Tbe time which it took's train toile:ken
speed, stop, and get into speed again, allowing one minute
at the station, was five minutes. The train in question
stopped from two to three minutes at Egham. and moved
on only when he taw the other train coming upon it.
Colonel Tolland was then swore. He said—l sin one of
the inspectors of the Board of Trade. I have bawd the
evident* given by the different witticism* who have been
examined. I have examined the line, while this Inquiry
has been pending. between Ascot and Egham, more tn.
tarty between the station at Virginia Water and ham.
Between,Virginis Water and Rnshani-gate there is a of
1 in 150, and from Rushamigate to Egham station there is
a fall of 1 in 1,639. lu other puts of the lam there are
easy carves. At Rushacmgate there is a semaphore
signal which can be seen about 1,010 yards from below.
At a short distance from Sachet-gate the view to Beim is
oketnicted by a single tree for about 20 yards, and about
70 yards farther on the view is otskruck d for about
125 yards, no that it is well seen for nearly half a mile.
Egham station is protected by two eignals—a station egret
on the platform, sod an auxiliary signal at 513 yards below
the station. The auxiliary can be first seen corning from
Afoot, within twenty yards of Itnaham-arosing ; and the
station, or standard signal, a little nearer the station. The
signals might be improved by the removal of the trees. I
I don't consider that the signals are seedy to be son by per-
sons unacquainted with their position. Stubs= eirceeing is
1,210 yards from Egham cussing. I hold it is not right to
run the tender first ; the proper thing to do is to turn the
engine, for when the tender is first it does not afford the
driver the same means of pulling up that be would have
when running the other way. If trains get to Aexe at two
o'clock, and do not return till five, there moot be my
difficulty, if proper siding, turn-table, and other accommo-
dation existed, in turnieg the engine and tender. The in-
tervals of time, whether five, ten, or fifteen minutes, are at
all times dangerous. At the inquiry in 1859 as to the acci-
dent at Virginia-water, the inspecting officer of the Board
of Trade was told by the company that the telegraph would
be brought into use in working the signals, but it had not
been done. No inspector of the Board of Trade would allow
the lies to be opened, if it were to be °peed now, without
a turn-table A proper oorninueication should always exist
between the guard and the engine driver, and that is im-
pomible white the train is running taker first. The
Itmiuuniate Niguel is quite independent of the station and
auxiliary signals at F4ham. The Board of Trade has no
power to insist upon the telegraph being teed for waking
tiffnal'a
By Mr. lamb—lntervals of time are at all times den-
gerous. I thick it very desirable that the driver to the
train should have been told that the first train would stop
at Egbam. 1 don't say that it was Mr. doott's duty.
By Mr. Rawlings-1 have no objection to trains following
each other at one minute, two minutes, or three minutia
intervals if the proper arrangements were made for mediae-
iag them safely to their journey's end. In the present in-
stance I don't think there were proper arrangements. To
a certain extent the special instructions issued to the ser-
vants during the Ascot races contradicted the general in-
structions. _ . .

This dosed the evidence ; and the Coroner Lavin
summed up, which be did with much minuteness, the jury
retired to consider their verdict. After upwards of three
hours deliberation. they returned with the followieg find-
ing :—" We find Thomas Lee and John Trainer, the engine
driver and firemon of the second train, guilty of man-
sleughter, hi having caused the deaths of Richard Wilkie,
Edwin dell, John Coppurd, Wm. Winfield, sad Joseph
Clop, but the jury consider that the said T. Lee and J.
Trainer were labouring under great disadvantages, owing to
the general mismanagement of the railway company, espe-
cially is the foUowiog pattioulare First, is having no
turn-table at Ascot, in consequence of which the trains
were drives to return tender first, thereby preveetiog
any communication being established between the guard
sod the driver ; secondly, in not using telegraphic commu-
nication from station to station ; and thirdly, in starting the
two treetop at five minutes' intervals, with instructions to the
first to stop at Egham, and to the second not to stop till it
came to Blames ; also, in doing this without giving
_any in-
timation to the drivers and guards of the two Units."
Mr. Rawlings applied to have the driver and AMOY ad-
mitted to bail. _ _

The Co:wooer—lt is a question whether I ought to iumept
WI. The assizes ere close at hand.

Mr. Rawlings—lt Les always been the practice of the
judges to take bail io such asses.
After soon disaumiou bell wee incepted for both parties

Trainee being in the town were almost immediately plead
