Vat demand, however, was fruitless, hasinvoh as the East
Lanoeshiro perdu had taken the tickets from their
penmen at the proviou station (ffingley), a harm which
they are said to have now followed for three months past.

to Pcson for a post-chaise, threatening an action
for detention. What occurred to break up the
blockade we have not accurately learned, but
we are informed that the Lancashire and Yorkshire
blockading squad:cm having been left in the sole harp at
Mr. Blackmon, at a little before twelve o'clock he withdrew
their obennetion, and the various trains were allowed to pass
,ftwards--hrtanately without accident or injury to the pas- ,
angers, though it mast be contemad to have been a dangerous
experiment. No doubt the ultimate decision of the matter
will, like most other such disputes,have to come before a chil
tribunal, and hash employment end funds for the lawyers.
It is but fair to say that the servants of the various com-
panies behaved with admirable temper and coolness, and
that there was no necessity for the interference of the police.
It is said that the East Lancashire Company resist the
exemination of tickets, on the ground that the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Company have soma to their books and
returns, alleging that the proceeding is a vexatious one, to
detain their trains, which, at a point further on, run in cot
petition with the Lancashire and. Yorkshire.

ME MURDER AT BRISTOL.—The funeral of the
ill fated lady, Him Jefferies, of whose murder at Bristol fall
particulars have appeared in this paper, took place yesterday
at the new cemetery at Arnos Vale, and attracted a cow
course of speetaton. The police have succeeded with some
difficulty In tracing out the flyman whet drove the servant
girl B.nh Thomas, who at present stands charged with the
murder, from this city to her father's house at Horfield,
where she was apprehended and where, as will be remem-
bered, a coesiderable portion of the property stolen from
the re:idence of the deceased lady was found. This
man's (testimony is important as showing that at the
time when she left Bristol with her pleader, the
accused was not accompanied by any person. The fl y driver
states that he took her and her boxes up on St. Michael's,
when she will standing on the pavement, apparently look-
ing out for a fly. She then went to a greengrocer's shop end
called for a bandbox she had left, after which she was driven
to the stop gate on the Gloucester turnpike road, where she
got out and went by way of a lane leading to her tubes
house. The authorities are now endeavouring to train out
the person who was seen in the set of carrying her bones
from Treackard.street. The little girl Coln', who made

the extraordinary statement to the Police, repo.rted yester-
day, still remains to custody.
