THE INQUEST.

The coroners innuisitron;;;;;;;;i at 10 o'clock this
morning, at the King's Road Inn, before Mr. Brunner,
coroner for the central district of Oxfordshire.

The names of the deceased parties were given as—Eliza-
beth Easley, aged 27 ; Thomas Noon, aged '-a1; Sarah
Sheldon, aged 27; William Sheldon, an infant son of the
latter; William Carrier, aged 14; Joseph Luckett, aged 28.
The bodies having been viewed and identified,
George Garden said—l wits a passenger in the ex-
cursion train from London to Oxford last Saturday
evening. The train started from Eustou-square at half-
past 4 o'clock. Before I got in I counted Id carriages,
including the engine and tender. I get into a second-class
carriage. It was the last but one. On starting, I sot on
the seat of the carriage nearest the engine. There were, I
should think, from 20 to 30 persons in the same carriage
with me. 1 saw a soldier in uniform sitting in about the
centre of the carriage. We came up to Bletchley. I noticed
that when we started from Illetebley the position of tho
carriage was reversed, and the carriage in which I sat was
now next but one to the engine. Between Winslow and
Bicester, I felt a rocking of the carriages. There were
two persons on the same scat with me—a male and a female.
They sat upon my left hand. By the rocking of the car-
riages they were thrown against me, and that forced me
against the side of the carriage, and hurt my shoulder.
These persons clung to me. I had the presence of mind to
throw myself on the floor of the carriage. 'the carriage
was thrown over directly after this. It turned over on the
side I was sitting. It turned on the !Me, and part of the
bottom of the carriage flew sot. I got out through the
opening made by it. I was not hurt so as to prevent my
walking. At the time the accident happened it was light
enough tor a person to see a hundred yards before him. I
did not consider we were gniug more than an ordinary rate
of speed after we left the Winslow station. I did not hear
any singing out, nor see any signal before 1 felt the
rocking.
William Bolton was next led into the room. This wit-
ness had a severe bruise over the left temple, and was so
much injured that he walked with much difficulty. He
said—l was a pas.enger in the second class by the
excursion train on Saturday [afternoon, front London
to Oxford. The deceased, Joseph Luckett. was my
cousin. Ile was in the same carriage that I was. My
brother, Joseph Bolton, was ;also in the same carriage. My
brother and myself sat opposite each other. .My cousin
was in the farther corner of the carrh!ge. I considered we
were wining very fast after we left Winslow station. As
we were coming along my cousin spoke to :ne. He ap-
peared downcast, and said he wish( 0 he was at his journey's
cad as he was sick of travelling. It was light enough at
the time to see the persons in the carriage, but I don't
know what o'clock it was. I inn not used to travelling by
railway. I never travelled any great distance before but
once, and that was three years ago. As we were coming
from Winslow to Bicester, and just after my cousin had
spoken to me, we felt a bumping of the carriages, mid im-
mediately after a crash, ns if something heavy was crushing
upon us. l'reviously to this I had heard the whistle, and I
remarked to my brother that it was a long signal. I did
not hear any one cry out to stop. The accident wan all
momentary. I found myself under a heavy pressure of
something ; heard a confused noise of crashing, and then I
become insensible, and cannot explain what happened after-
wards. The crushing seemed to come upon me all at once,
and I resigned myself to it. It was like a clap of thunder,
and for a time I could not tell whether I was in the carriage
or out of it. A gentleman told me yesterday it was Y 4 hours
before I was extricated. I r. covered my sensibility some
time after the accident. I then found that I was lying
with my face upon the ground. It was quite dark then. I
could feel a heavy pressure across my back and the lower
parts of my body. I had room to move my hands, and I
could feel that my legs lay across another lanai% body. Wo
spoke to each other. He asked me to *mist him. I told
him I could not, and we both agreed to lay as still as possi-
ble, as we found that by moving our position was made
more uncomfortable. I did succeed in removing the necker-
chief from round this man's neck. I lay so long in
this position that the lower part of my body
became quite dead. I could hear parties working to ex-
tricate us. Some of them spoke to me and laid hold of
my foot. This caused a trickling" sensation up my leg.
I heard the groans of other passengers. I recollect being
lifted tap nod brought to this house. I have no broken
limb, but am much bruised. I saw my cousin, Joseph
Luckett, lying in this room yesterday, and have no doubt
of his identity. I could see that he breathed then, but as
he was insensible, I did not stop in the room longer than
just to see him.
The foreman of the jury here called the attention of the
coroner to the fact, that the chairman and some other
directors of the railway were in the room, and begged to
suggest whether it would not be better to ask them to with-
draw.

The Coroner said ho had no objection to put the question
to the jury. Ile thought it writ very natural, however, that
the chairman and his co•directors, who must feel a deep
interest in the matter, should desire to be present ; and had
he known that they were to, he should certainly have asked
them if they wished to put any questions to the witnesses
who had already been examined.
Another Juror—But would it not be better, sir, that
when the servants of the company aro under examination,
the directors should be absent ? 'I heir presence might have
the effect of intimidating the witnesses. At any rate, they
would not feel themselves so much at ease.
Coroner —Oh yes. I qaitc agree with you in that. (Ad-
dressing Sir Harry Vernev)—l think,Sir Harry, that under
the circumstances referred to, it would be better for the

directors to retire.
Sir Harry Verney—Certainly; I entirely concur in that
opinion.
John Mason was next sworn—He said, I lire at Oxford.
I have sem the body of the soldier lying at this booby. I
know it to be the body of Thomas Noon. I have known
him for several years. In the pouch of his belt there were
3s. 60. and a railway ticket, No. 1,360, trom Boston
station to Oxford and back.
William Carrier, the driver of the train to which the
accident occurred, was here called to prove the identity. of
his own son, one of the sufferers. He said, I ant an engine
driver on the Buckinghamshiro branch of the London and
North Western Railway. I have seen the body of William
Carrier, the younger, now lying at this house. He is my
son. lie was a passenger in a second-class carriage from
Bletchley to Oxford last Saturday evening. His death
occurred at the time of the accident now being inquired
Into. He was 14 years old.
Mr. F.Franeillon, a solicitor:of Banbury,here entered the
room and said ho attended by request of the directors of
the London and North-Western Railway, to watch the case
on their behalf.

John Scott was next examined—lle said: I live at Dices-
' ter. On SAturilay evening last I was standing next- the
gate where the Bicester and Aylesbury road crows the rail-
way upon a level, I stood on the Aylesbury side of the

rest to Bier:ger. Vince:4k to tee the excursion
comeera n pies na
doyen frum Lonelen. I supposed it would stop
at the Biriater station. About flee mantes to seven
o'clock I saw the train coming. There is a douhle line of
rails at the Biecoter station, one line taming as it were off
the main :lilt up to the d an station. I should think it
about 10) yards o.m where I stood to the points where the
gods are shifted. I saw the polic man, Wilmot' standing
near these points when I tint came to the gates. I did
_not
ass him do anything to the points. I
cannot

tribe came up that the engine kept on the straight line of
rails that would have passed by the station house. It was
detached from the carr.sges, and the carriages aPP9IOI4 to
be going w, the line leading up to the Bicester platform. The
train wooed to be coining very fast. As soon as I NM the
owne coming straight towards where I stood, I gotiototho
porch of the station master's huge, and instant slier I
happened
Lewd a crashing, and then I could not see what
for the discharge of steam from the engine. As soon as l
got out of the porch I saw that the engine had stopped within
about two feet of the house. It had knocked down the
gate-post nearest to the station-master's hens', and a rail
was bent up between the spokes of the near driving wheel.
Wait happened was so sudden, I cannot tell how it hap-
pened, as 1 gut out of the way as well as I could. I sow
the petit...man waving a red flag, hat where I stood I could
not see the signal post at Launton-lane. When I came out
of the j. irch I saw two men on the engine, who appeared to
be driver and stoker. The policeman Wilmot waved the
red flag before the tontine came up to the points.
Thomas Shaw said—Last Saturday evening, I was
standing near the gate aeries% the Bleeder and Ayles-
bury read, at the railway crossing. I wan waiting to nee the
excursion train pass. I saw the train coming towards
Bic( iti r. I heard the whistle of the engine before I could
set the train. I saw Wilmot, the pelicemao, at the points
which shift the line to run into the down elation. Another
policeman, named Harris, stoat at the gates near where I
was standiele. When the train was near to the points
I he .rd Harris henna to Wilmot to put the train into the
straight road. Wilmot turned towards Harris, and called
out for • signal to be put up. I SPII. Wilenot stoop at the
place where the handle to shift the points is. 1 did not ob-
serve whether the points were in the direction for turning
the train into the down station or not, nor could I rev
whether they were actually shifted by Wilmot. I was too
far fur thst. I did not ohoree anything on the straight line
towards Oxford. Wilmot was waving a red flag before
Harris called to him. 1 should say the train was about 300
yards distant from me when I first saw it coming. I think
It is clout 50 yards from where I stood to the points
where Wilmot was standing. The engine came along the
straight line to within about twenty yards from where I
stood, and then I saw it was tearing up the rails. It
gave a sort of leap when it came opposite to me, and thin
went in the direction of the station master's house, knock.
fag down the rails which I had been leaning against, and,
passing on the Iliceder aide of the first toll-gate post,
kninkeel down the other toll-gate pot which is nearest the
station master's house, and stopped almost close to the
Iloilo.. I could ace that the tender was not attached to the
engine when the post was knocked down. The carriages
ran upon the line into the down station. The tender was on
the straight line, but two of the wheels were knocked off.
I saw the carriages turned over from the down line before
they reached the station. They fell upon each other towards
the road leading to Aylesbury. I cannot nay how many of
the carriages were thrown over. Two or three remained
wean the line. I could not see what caused the carriages to
turn over. As soon ea Wilmot called to Harris, a signal
board was put up at the station. It was a red signal, and
was pet full on. The engine was not come fully into sight
at the time Harris called to Wilmot to put the train on
the straight road.
James Smith, who wore his left arm in a sling, hut did
not appear otherwise injured, said—l was • passenger
in a second-clone carrigre by the excursiou train from
Euston station to Chloral last Saturday afternoon.
Waco we left Bleach' y station, the carriage I was
in was neat to the engine and tender. Before we
reached Wender station I kart the whistle of the
engiue. It was repeated two or three time*, and very Illhg
RIVI loud. The earri tze in which I vat then jerked and
twisted in such a manner that I felt satisfied the engine was
off the line. A loud crash followed, and in an instant I
was thrown down on niy back, with an immense pres•
sure upon the lower part of my body. All was quite
dark, My body was completely jammed, but I could just
move my heaal. I never loot my recollection. I was in this
position for three hours before (wan extricated. (Se matic's')
During this time I ascertained that • soldier who was in the
same carriage with mu was clone to me. His legs and the
lower put of his body were across my body. I knew it was the
sot tier as I could feel his epaulette. There was not any other
soldier in uniform in the carriage with me. As was lay, I
spoke to hint, but he del nut answer, I heard him groan jail
as we were thrown down. I never heard him breathe after-
wards. Ills head was leaning partly on my right shoulder
and his fare was turned towards me. I had no knowledge
at the tune of any other pe rani laving near mc. I have been
'severely braved, and ray left arm is so much injured that
I um unable to use it. I thought the speed of the train
had increased after we left the. Winslow etation, where the
engine stoop d for water. When I was under the pressure I
have spoken of, a portion of the wood was sawn away by
some person so as to allow the putting of a wetted handker-
chief to my mouth.
Mr. Thomas Dawson was next examined. He said—l
am • surgeon, and reside at Bit-ester. I saw the bodies of
Elisabeth Hanley, William Carrier, the younger, Thomas
Noon, and Sarah Sheldon and her male infant child, soon
after they were extricated from the wreck of broken
carriages neer the railway station, on Saturday evening last.
The death of Elisabeth Bosley is apparently caused by nut'
Sication. She has, however, sustained sonic injury of the
head, soil has a fractured jaw. William Carrier, jun ,
his a dislocation of the Reek which is sufficient to cause
death ; he has also • fractured thigh, and laity have other
injuries, as I have not made a minute examination. Thomas
Noon, the soldier, has injuries on the head, but I think
he must have died from suffocation, as the blackness of his
features indicates asphyxia. Sarah Sheldon died from pres-
sure and injuries on the skull. I say this without having min-
ute ly ,samineil the body. Herchild has a smashed skull, and
its death must have been instantaneous. The young man
Litekett bail a fractured skull, and several injuries about
the region ofthe chest. He survived some hours after the
widest, and died about one o'clock on Sunday from the
effects of the injuries he hail sustained. All the parties were
seen by Mr. Frank Wyatt and Mr. Acton, of London. Mr.
Adam, I believe, is not here.
Mr. Frank Wyatt wits next called. Ile said—l am a me-
di-al student. I have seen two years' hospital practice, but
am not qualified as a surgeon. I reside in chambers in the
Temple, and my home is at Oxford. I was a second-class
passenger in the excursion train to which the accideut oc-
curred. After leaving Winslow, ;the train appeared to me
to proceed more rapidly than before, and I remarked to the
paseengere that I thought we were making up for teat time.
I have been ten or twelve times to and fru between London
and Unfurl very lately. Before we gut to Ilicester, I heard
the driver sound his whistle—he blew it longer then I ever
heard the whistle blown on the same line before. I did not
notice any other alma], nor did I hear anybody call out.
The carriage in which I wan sitting was not turned over.
When the accident took place, I felt a very severe shock,
which threw me bock in tho carriage, and almost stunned
me for the moment. After I heard the whistle, sufficient
time had elapsed before the accident the the engine
to have travelled 300 or 100 yards. I saw the engine
whisk into the place where it now stands. I saw
it for a second only, and for the moment I thought
it might have been some engine which had over-
taken us, in some way or other, until I remembered that
we we're upon a single line. The engine seemed to be going
parallel with the carriage in which I was, until it turned
off, and ran towards the station-master's house. At the
moment we passed, I saw two men run into the porch of the
station-master's house, as if to get out of the way. The
carriage in which I wag passed the engine a very little way
when we gradually came to • stand. I hail hardly time
to look round, when a woman jumped on to me, and
several others followed, all scrambling to get out
of the carriage. As soon as I recovered myself, I
I saw • man in thee railway company's livery, whom I be-
lieve to have been one ofthe guards, running up the lice
with his head badly cut. I told him to sit down, and IMIS
about to attend to him, when looking up the line, end else.
ing the carriages on the top of each other, and that it we.
• very serious accident, I ran forward to see what assist-
anre I could render is that direction, On reaching the ear-
rearm to which I have referred, I found two of them so
Numbed as to present the appearance of a heap of rub-
bish. There was a firstelaes carriage not so much da-
maged. The doors of this carriage could not his
opened, in consequence of the handles having hecn injured
in coming into collision with something. As the parties in-
side were calling for assistance, I burrowed a sledge hammer
from the engine-driver, and broke them open myself. I
then saw some persons carrying the hody of • man, whom I
have sines sseertained to be the deceased Luckett. I asked
if he was dead. They said. "If you are &surgeon, come
and see." I called myself a surgeon at the time to ecoa-
mend more respect, and I accompanied them to this home.
The man was brought into this room, and on czar/Mktg
him, I found that he was not dead, but his skull was
badly fractured, and he had • very deep eat at tb
calf of the left leg, laying bare the arteries. I suede
dereil it a hopeless case, and after tying two Of 611110
small arteries, 1 thought it better to go back sad render
what assistance I could to the sufferers on the
spot. I left the deceased as I found him, quite in-
sensible. On returning to the spot I saw four or Ave
other persons taken out of the carriages, and all badly
hurt. These I attended, tying up vessels in some, stitch-,
fog the wounds of others, and ordering such as were mom
erserely injured to be conveyed to the public-houses in

PROVISION FOR RAILWAY SERVANTS IN CASE OF
ACCIDINT.—A correspondent says. " At the end of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Company's report fur the last
half-year was a short paragraph, which said, ' The acci-
dents and risks to which these classes of the company's
servants who are employed in the daily conduct of the
traffic are exposed' had suggested the establishment of a
fund to give the advantage of insurance in case of death,
and of a moderate weekly payment in case of injury. At
the half-yearly meeting this subject was very briefly re-
ferred to by the chairman, and 4001. per annum was voted
to a fund for such a purpose by the shareholders, without
so much as stopping to listen to the plan by which the
object was proposed to be accomplished. Now, as the plan
appears to have about it some features which strongly re-
commend it to attention, the public, who must read of the
frequent accidents and leas of life among railway servants
with much pain, will probably, be glad to have the oppor-
tunity of seeing its details. the railway passenger pays a
sum of money down, and is insured a compensation
in case of accident—the sum being so small that he scarcely
feels it; but the railway servant es always in the way of
danger, and whilst a small payment is a more serious thing
to him, the insurance company, on tho other hand, look
upon the greater risk they incur by such policies than the
other. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Company have
solved the difficulty by making an arrangement with the
Railway Passengers' Assurance Company to take in almost
the entire body of their servant* on payment of a sum of
4001. per annum beyond the subscriptions of the workmen.
It would have been in vain to expect the men to exercise
the care and forethought of their own motion, and so the
company make themselves responsible for the amount to the
insurance company, and deduct the weekly payments from
the men's wages. The servants were not forced into the
scheme, but circulars were forwarded them to sign, giving
them the option of insuring their lives and a payment
is case of injury, which was deemed so reasona-
ble by the men themselves that upwards of 1,400
returned these circulars with their signatures affixed, and
the plan is in full operation. The scheme, which embraces
three classes of insurance, was drawn by Dlr. Dunstan, the
secretary, who was at grat pains to explain to the work-
men its operation, and Mr. George Wilson, Capt. Laws,
and other directors have taken much interest in bringing it
to bear. The first class of insurances is for engine-driven
only, who, on a deduction of 4d. per week from their
wages, secure for their families in case of death by accident
on the lines of the company, a sum of 1001., or in ease of
disablement, so as not to be able to discharge their duty,
30s. per week for 15 weeks. The second class embraces
stokers, guards, and brakemen, who, on payment of 2d.
per week, some 751. at death, or 225. Od. per week
in case of accident; and the third class embraces
porters, policemen, switchmen, gatekeepers, and mechanics,
who, on payment of Id. per week, secure to their families
on death 501., or a weekly payment of 15s. for Id weeks on
disablement. The adoption eta good a system may of a
useful suggestion to other companies, and it would be well
if it, or • similar one, were introduced into railway com-
panies generally. It will be readily supposed that though
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company male. it optional
with their servants to avail themselves of these insur-
ances, they have signified their intention of discontinuing
allowances to servants who have not insured, on sustaining
any injury.
CRYSTAL PALACE ON TILL Tllßl...—Meeers. Smith,
of St. Peter's-quay, on the Tyne, have contracted with
Messrs. Hartley and Co., of the Wear Glass Works,
Bishopweannouth, for the entire enclosure, with glass, of
their extensive ship-building yard of Bt. Peter's, where
vessels of the highest elms and character, and of the largest
registered tonnages aro constructed. The glees (or the roof
is to be the Moms Hartley and Co's celebrated patent
rough plate, of which • very large quantity will be required.
Messrs. Hartley and Co. have engaged Mr. Isaac Cooke, of
, this town, foe the glazing. Vessels built under cover class
• year higher at Lloyd's. Celebrated as our port is as the
shipbuilding mut of the world, we shall be disappointed
with the spirit and emulation of our builders if it should
nut, in the discharge of our duties as journalists, shortly
devolve on us to record the construction of a Crystal Palace
on the Wear for the purposes of naval architecture.--
Swiderland Newf.

In the first plate, the ships are to be so constructed as to
accommodate comfortably about 800 steerage passengers
and 100 cabin passengers. In strength and speed they must
at least equal any vessels afloat. Expensive ornaments will
be entirely dispensed with, comparatively little room will
be let for freight, and the speed will be thus increased, the
depth of water being diminished. The cast of such a ship
will not (according to an estimate) exceed four hundred
thousand dole. (about 80,0000 With three steamers we can
run fortnightly between Now York and Galway. Now, let
us see what are the chances that such steamers would pay.
A number of emigrants, ranging from six thousand to
thirty thousand, leave Ireland for this city in every month.
They are compelled in commencing their long journey to
turn their back on the destined goal, and to wend their way
eastward in order to reach their new home in the west.
Arrived at Liverpool, they sometimes have to remain there
several days waiting for the ship, for which they have been
previously booked by their friends is this country. They
must go on board, supplied with bedding and provision for
six or seven weeks; if they do not choose to run the risk of
starving on the way, they pay from 31. to .51. for their pu-
lse, and during that passage they are kicked and cuffed
by brutal sailors, and huddled together, men and women
indiscriminately ; in a word, treated in every respect more
like beasts than human beings. Now, with these facts
before us, are wo too sanguine in hoping that out of the
thousands of emigrants who leave Ireland every month,
so many as sixteen hundred would pay al. each
to come in a first-clam steamer which would sail
always at a fixed hour, in which they would be provided
with bedding and provisions without extra charge, whose
average time would be nine days, and in which, it is to he
hoped, they would not be treated as beasts, but as human
beings ? With these advantages, could we not calculate on
800 steerage passengers for each steamer at 51.?—if so, we
are assured by experienced men who furnish us with their
calculations, that the success of the line would be estab-
lished beyond all doubt. We have little or no doubt of
being able to secure a mail contract from the United States
government—the sympathy of the American people is with
the project, justice and the public interests favour the claim,
and the wishes of Irishmen have more weight here than in
their own country. The materials are ready to our hands,
the foundation is already laid. We want you to strip to the
work, and push the edifice to a speedy completion.
On Saturday last, Sir E. :1I•Donnell, chairman of
the Great Southern and Western Railway, Mr. John
Pennefathcr, one of tho directors, and Mr. Roney,
secretary of the Holyhead and Chester Railway,
visited the principal harbours in the west of the
county of Cork, in reference to the establishment of
steam communication between Ireland and America.

The following accountof the loss of the Tomlinson,
of this port, off the coast of Portugal, is thus men-
tioned in a letter from the master of that vessel
Portugal, Lagos, Aug. 19, 1851.
Sir,-1 am very sorry to have to inform you of the total
loss of your brig, the Tomlinson, about three leagues from
this place. She struck on • rock about four, a.m., on the
17th, in a very thick fog, and a heavy sea on. We got out
the jolly-boat, and got into her, but she swamped in a mo-
ment, before we could get from alongside. Ono man got
up the side before she filled, and he hove ropes to the
rest of us, which was the means of saving our lives ; but
we lost everything belonging to the vessel and to our-
selves. After the jolly-boat went down, and we got on
board again, the Tomlinson was full of water, and we then
got out on the bowsprit, and dropped down on the rock,
where we remained for about six hours, when one of the
crew swam off from the rock we were on with a rope, and
made it fast to • spar, and hauled it over to another rock
that the water did not Bow over ; so we got all safe over,
one by one, on this spot, where we remained all the re-
mainder of the day and all that night, when the same man
made an attempt to swim to the mainland with • rope,
bat failed. Then one of the natives swam off to us with a
nape , and hauled us over, one by one, to the mainland,
where they behaved very kind, sod gave us some
re-
feshmenta, sad also mules and a guide to take us to
this place, where we are under the care of the British vice.

The following donations have been received at this court

SCENE IN A BAPTIST CHAPEL.—At the Cambridge-
shire Petty Sessions, on Saturday last, a man named Dowman
was charged with illegally disturbing the congregation of a
Baptist chapel in the village of Coton (about three miles
from Cambridge). It would seem that the congregation of
the chapel arc not celebrated for their erudition, and in a
public-house on the East-road, Cambridge, a conversation
arose over some potations as to how easily they could be
duped, and eventually it was agreed between some parties,
whose names were freely stated, that an imposition should
he attempted. and several wagers were laid upon the result.
It was arranged that Dolman, who is a travelling hawker
from Colchester, and who was considered the best hand at
recitation, should personate a Baptist minister, and he being
dressed for the part and put on large spectacles to prevent re-
cognition, proceeded to Coton with his confederates on the 18th
May, introduced himself to the deacon, and presented a letter
(with a fictitious signature), saying that he was engaged in
' preaching and collecting on behalf of a missionary society.
Eventually the appointed preacher made way for him, and
he ascended the pulpit, gave out a hymn, engaged in
prayer, and then taking his text, Ezekiel, c. 11, v. 33,
proceeded to read sundry passages from a printed book,
which turned out to be Baxter's " Saint's Rest." The con-
gregation, being used to extempore discourses, evinced
symptoms of disapprobation, and at last the mock preacher
fairly brake down, entreating the audience to excuse him,
as he was not in the habit of addressing such large congre-
gations. Mr. Bradfield, the regular preacher, then rose,
and cautioned his congregation not to part with any
money, as be knew nothing of the party who had addressed
them. This spark caused an explosion, the storm burst,
the term " impostor" resounded on all sides, and Dowman
had to make his escape to a fly, in which his confederates
were waiting for bins. Bowman was met in Cambridge
next day by Mr. Bradfield, and having been identified this
process was eventually issued. The magistrates sentenced

BALLOON ACCIDENT.—Last evening a balloon

John Coffery, a ria;ileporieher,;;;; charged with hav-
ing beaten James Caffery, his son, aged 14, with a red-
hot poker.
Robert Crebo, 41 E division, said that on Saturday night,
ate quarter past 10 o'clock, he was on duty near Crescent-
mews, Burton-crescent, when his attention was attracted by
the cries of " Murder" in a boy's voice proceeding from a
house situate No. 25, Crescent-mews. Witness entered,
and on proceeding to the upper part of the house the cries
increased, and he heard blows in the third-floor apartment.
He demanded admittance, but was refused, and he burst
the deer open, when he saw the injured boy, quite naked,
jumping about the room, and the prisoner was beating
him with a red-hot poker, and the boy was
evidently suffering extreme pain. Witness attempted
to take the prisoner into custody, but encoun-
tered much resistance, the prisoner saying that
witness had no right there, and struck him violently.
Whilst they were struggling together the prisoner's wife
returned home and assisted her husband, and together they
threw him down stairs. He, however, kept his foot be-
tween the door and the eidepost, and held it open whilst he
called for assistance, until Sergeant Harris, 17 E, and
another officer came and conveyed the prisoner to the
station house. Sergeant Harris and witness went back to
the house and took the prisoner's sou to St. Pancras Work-
house for medical assistance. The boy had no clothes to
put on, and he was taken to the workhouse wrapped up in
police clothes. The witness produced a certificate from the
surgeon of the infirmary, to the effect that the boy was suf-
fering from severe contusions and burns on the back,
shoulders, legs, and face, and was unable to attend the
court. Witness, added, that when he questioned the boy he
informed him that in the course of Saturday evening his
father beat him severely with a leathern strap until his mo-
ther interfered to prevent him. She afterwards went out
to purchase some butter, when the prisoner locked the •
door. He then put the poker into the fire until it was red
hot, and he then beat him with it while he was naked.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said his son had
been a bad boy for the last three years, and was in the
habit of robbing him and his neighbours.
Mr, Tyrwhin said under the circumstances he could not
pert with the prisoner. From the nature of the surgeon's
