THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.

THE FATAL ACCIDh3IT AT BLALICFRIARS.
Montag Mandan, a young man, mate of the Dahlia, who
was on Sunday in charge of that vessel, one of the steam-
boats belonging to the London and Westminster Penny
Steamboat Company, was charged before Alderman Law-
rens* with having occasioned the death of Ann Williams
and other preens by running down a boat on the river.
Francis Williams was the first witness called. He said
—On Sunday last I and some friends, ten in number,
hired a boat and went to Greenwich to spend thaday. We
returned home in the evening, and came gently up the
river on the tide. As we approached Blackfriars bridge
we *taught sight of the steamer. We were going up to-
wards Hungerfurd, and the steamer was crossing the tide.
The steamer struck our boat near the bow on the right
hand side. The tide was running up, and we shouted
for the steamer to keep off, but they took no notice of
us and eame down upon oar boat. The engines were not
stopped, and we came 5n contact with the paddle-box. The
consequence was that our boat was carsized, and we were
all thrown into the water. Three of our party were kat,
namely, Ann Williams, Emma Bates, and Thomas Weston;
but I and the others who could not swim were pulled into
the steamer.
Alderman Lawrence—Have the bodies been found ?
Witness—lto ; they've been dragging for them ever since.
I do not recollect seeing any one at the wheel of the steamer;
but I was too much confused to see anything.
Cross examined—l was steering the boat, and we could
see the steamer, and they could see us some distance off.
Perhaps forty yards. We went through the fourth arch of
the bridge, and we had got about fifteen yards above bridge
when the steamer struck us. We were m one of the boats
that are capable of accommodating 13 or 14 persons, and I
felt no danger before we gut through the arch, but then
we all became very much alarmed, and called out to the
steamer to stop. Anu Williams was my sister-in-law.
Some of the females got up when the damage became ap-
parent,:but not in such a manner as to render the boat unsafe.
By the Alderman—We could see the steamer before we
got through the arch, but we saw no danger, and were
quite joyful. The steamer came steadily down upon Ur.
James Quin, in the employ of Sir Ilenry Meux, was the
next witness examined—He said, I was on board the shallop
on Sunday with the last witness. There were 10 persons on
board, and I saw the Dahlia steamer coming towards us. Wo
came against her after passing the bridge, at a time when
she appeared to be making a shoot across the river fur on. of
the arches. She was very much laden with passenge
and seemed to be coming towards the arch we had p
through. We called out lustily, but with no avail, and the
steamer eventually run us down. We were going with the
tide, while the steamer was going against it. The paddle-
box caught the bow of our host, and turned it over. 1 was
immersed in the water with the whole of my body under
and attempted to swin, but found I could not, because my
head struck against something. 1 then dived down deeper,
and then I came to the surface. Directly I did so I saw
my father struggling fur his life, and while I seized the
capsized boat with the one hand, I clung to his collar with
the other. I held on in this way until a rope WU thrown
from the steamer, and at length, with a good deal of diffi-
culty, I succeeded in saving my father, who, together with
myself and some one else, was taken on shore to a receiving
house. My father has remained in an insensible state ever
since.

Craw examined—We bad been with the boat since nine
o'clock in the morning. We had been as far as Greenwich,
aud dined in the park. We left Greenwich about six
o'clock. If the steamer had been stopped there would have
been no difficulty whatever, and I think there was plenty
of time to stop her before the accident occurred,
George Williams, of 10, Kinmate-street, Balboni, &b-
-other of the party on board the boat, confirmed the testi-
mony of the two peceding wanes'''. Ann Williams, the
young woman who was loot, was his wife. There was plenty
of time to stop the steamer, or had the steamer only gone
six feet more to the right, the boat would have been saved.
Witness escaped by the paddle-wheel of the steamer. Ile
war dragged upon to the steamer, but be was too much ex-
cited to perceive who had charge of the wheel.
Thomas Dawson, a muter mariner, of Sunderland, said—
I was on board the steamer when the accident happened.
1 was standing in the centre of the vessel at the time, and
1 saw the boat directly she was turned over. I heard the
people in the boat scream out, and then the prisoner called
down the pipe for the engineer to stop. Two seconds after-
wards the collision took place, and I rendered all the assist-
'am I could to rescue the people thrown out of the boat.
The steamer was very much crowded; so much so, indeed,
that there was scarcely room vnough for two-thirds of the
people. The prisoner was on the paddle-bridge of the
stunner, and seemed to have charge of the boat. The
steamer was going very feat, and appeared to be rushing at
the bridge, which made me feel rather uneasy. By the
sound of the first scream I heard 1 should say the boat
could not have been very tsr off the steamer. The accident
and the scream came almost together.
William Dawson, the brother of the last witness, con-
firmed this statement, and added that bad the steamer kept
hes right way the accident would not have happened. La

IVilliaw COAPS0);;;;;;;IiE;; about 30 years of age,
employed as • messenger in Kensington, appeared to
answer • summons charging him with having assaulted the
Ker. Robert Dillon, • minister of the established church,
who was stated to be in the possession of a living in
Yorkshire.

During the last fortnight the rev. gentleman has fre-
quently been at this court to complain of the police of Ken-
sington for refusing to render bun any assistance to eject
his female servants, who, he swore, were refractory, from
his house. He has also complained of the conduct of his
wife, and on one occasion obtained a summons against her
for an assault, but failed to appear on the day of hearing.
The complainant now stated that he was a clergyman,
end resided at No. 6, Young-street, Kensington. On
Saturday week last he hail an occasion to communicate with
Inspectors Field and Shaw, and he delivered a letter to the
ostler at the house of Mr. Sibley, a publican, of Kensing-
ton, to convey to those officers, in Great Scotland-yard.
Some time afterwards the defendant came to his house, and
requested payment fur delivering the letter. Witness de-
aired his wile, who had by some means obtained possession
1 of his money, to pay the defendant, but she refused to do
so, and be then went away. Subsequently ho returned,
and said he was a police constable, and had been authorised
by Mr. Shaw to enter his house. Witness desired him to
quit the house immediately, but he stoutly refused, and
caught hold of witness by the collar, and twice shook him
very roughly.
The defendant, who appeared very unwell, denied the
charge, and said the complainant had used him very ill.
On the day in question the waterman at Mr. Sibley's gave
him a letter to deliver to Inspector Field. lie waited at
Scotland-yard for tome considerable time, and was informed
that Inspector Field had gone to Marlborough-street. He
returned about seven o'clock in the evening to the com-
plainant's house for the purpose of being paid for his
trouble, and to acquaint him with what bad occurred.
He saw Mrs. Dalton, who told him that he must have
been mad to go with a letter for her husband, and
that five cabmen had already been there that day
for payment for the hire of their cabe by Mr. Dallon.
She tolled the complainant out to him, and he told her
to pay him for his trouble. She said she had no money,
and he told her she had 111. belonging to him. She de-
nied that she had, and mid ff What have you done with
the les. you obtained by pledging your spectacles ?" The
complainant then raised his stick to strike his wife, and she
ran behind him (defendant) for protection. The servant
girls came up stairs on hearing the noise, and the com-
plainant immediately ordered them down stairs, at the same
time swearing at them and calling them by the lowest
epithet that cam be applied to a woman. 'they appeared
very much alarmed, and quickly ran down stain. The
complainant followed them, and threw the umbrella
stand, which stood in the hall, after them. If it
bad struck them, there was no doubt it would
have done them some serious injury. The com-
plainant then procured a staff and desired him to leave
the house. Mre. Dalton bad previously locked the door to
prevent him (defendant) from lesving the house as she re-
quired his assistance to prevent her husband from inflicting
any injury upon her. The complainant then struck him
with the staff on the hand and knee, which was very much
injured. He had been confined to his bed in corsequenee
of the blow he had received, and only left it on Monday
lent. He (defendant) remained in the hour° until near n
o'clock, when the lodgers came home and the door was
opened. Mrs. Dalton obtained some money from her lodgers
and paid him. He then quickly left the house, and was
very glad when he gut out. The only time that he touched
the complainant was when he assisted Mrs. Didion to take
the staff from him.
The two servant girls, Ellen Holmes and Elizabeth Chalk,
were then called, and before they were sworn tho complain-
ant requested that they might be examined as to the nature
of an oath. Mr. licadon complied with this request, and
they answered his questions most satisfactorily. They then
corroborated the statement of the defendant in every par-
ticular, and said the complainantt was in the habit of using
vegritniailllcnissaired theuage lorevt. ecommopnlaeivenat if he was in the
habit of using the language imputed to him.
The Complainant denied that he ever used the language,
and said his servants always said he did. lie also denied
that he used the staff, and said that it was taken from him
by his wife, who assisted in the attack upon him. lie
would not believe the servant girls upon their oath.
Mr. Deaden observed that he thought it very remarkable
that • clergymen at the church of England should have two
servants in his house who did not know the nature of an
oath.
The complainant said the witness fastened the door and
resisted him. His servants were always listening, and
would never obey any of his directions. lie had twice given
them notice to quit, but they refused to leave.
The servant girls said they had been engaged by Mrs.
Dalton, who had requested them to remain in the house to
protect her.
Mr. Ileadon said he was very glad that tho staff had been
wrested from the complainant, as ho fully believed consi-
derable mischief would have ensued if he had been allowed
to retain it. After the evidence that he had heard, it was
his duty to dismiss the summons, and it was his opinion that
the defendant had good grounds for an action, unless it was
' found that the complainant was not responsible for his be-
' haviour.
' The summons was then dismissed.
The magistrate dineted the clerk to give the defendant
a sovereign from the poor boa.

Leans, Juts 13.-The arrival of wheat is only mode-
rate, and the delivery in the agricultural districts is
reported as by no means large; fine weather, however, con-
tinues to have its usual effect, and though prices do not vary
materially from Friday, still the business done is most
limited, and to make much progress an increased concession
must be made to the buyers. Barley nominal, beans steady,
Oats and other articles unaltered. Arrivals this week :
Wheat, 6,880; Beans, 683; Malt, 407; Rapeseed, 1,687.
Lir attroot„ JULY 13.-The principal import since
last Tuesday is of wheat and flour from the United
States, having received 6,279 qrs. and 21,273 brls. Of the
other articles of the grain trade, from any quarter, the
arrivals have keen unimportant. The week's exports to
Ireland and coastwise are again liberal of wheat, flour, and
Indian corn. The business of the week has been small, the
general election interfering, and as well the exceedingly
tine weather we have for the growing crops. Prices have
slightly given way, though holders generally are indisposed
to sell at present by making any reduction of moment.
The transactions at our Corn Exchange, this morning, were
confined to the immediate wants of millers and deal rp, and
were of limited extent. There was a iecline from the quo-
tation. of last Tuesday of 3d. to 3J. per bushel on wheat,
34' to Gd. per barrel on flour, 4d. per bushel on oats, and
W. per load on oatmeal. Barley, beans, and peas were
unaltered in value. There was not much Indian corn
offering, and it commanded a fair moderate sale, at fully
last week's prices. 'I he following are the present quotations :

LYNN, July 13.—We have continued intense beat, and,
upon the light and gravelly soils, premature ripeness of the
crops is appearing. The supply of Wheat to-day is small,
and but little business doing, at Is. per qr. decline. Wheat,
611bs to 631b5., 365. to 395.; fine, 405.; white, 445. Beaus,
335. to 365. per qr. to the growers.
NEWCASTLE, July 13.—The weather still continues fine
and hot. Our market opened this morning with more
firmness, and, having a better attendance of buyers, there
was a fair amount of business done in Norfolk and Cam-
bridge red Wheat, front 6lilbs. to 6211b5. per bushel, at
40.+. to 41s. per qr., weighed 63Ibs. The beat of the wca-
, ther renders the trade in Flour limited, and sales are con-
fined to the weekly consumption of the dealers, who
supply themsolics from the best marks of Nor-
folk households, at 295. per sack. With a good ar-
rival of foreign Miley, the price Liss receded 14., and in
some cases 2s. per v. Beans and Peas slowsale. The trade
for Oats still continues fiat. The best Scotch cargoes are
held for 215., but to quit any quantity at present it would
be necessary to submit to 20s. per qr.
