Thomas Taylor, 18, and of respectable appearance, was
barged with robbing the firm of Footainemorean and
Clompay, Soathetreet, Finsbury, London, Paris, and Brae.
Isla.
A few days since the prisoner want to the station of
in Old-street, St. Luke', and

Inspector Fyfe, stated that the premises mentionA
bed been borglanously entered during the past night,
and that he was anxious to make a report thereof, via. :
Mg on desoondieg from his bedroom • short time previously
he was surprised to find an unusually keen wind blowing io
the counting-hocum, and that • window, (outsized the night
Wore, was open. On looking round he perceived the
rethbox smashed open lying on • tab* and the
iron ate, the keys of which were always kept
in • drawer, likewise open, but what had been stolen he
could not tell. In reply to some questions by the in-
spector, the young man expressed • strong belief that
the act had been committed by some one well acquainted
with the interior of the place, and Sergeant Evans,
G divisionpurp, was directed to proceed with him forthwith for
the os of e ascertaining if possible how the burglary
and robbery bad been effected. Everything was as had
been described; the window, however, clearly could not
have been opened from the outside, and this first gave rea-
sonable ground for suspecting that the person who
had furnished the Information in cote** might at
last be implicated in the alleged forcible entry;
it wee, however, a delicate matter, bad when
as intimation was made that it would be satisfactory to
ell parties if he allowed his boxes to be looked into, he
replied, " Meet certainly." This was done accordingly, but
not any article belonging to the prosecutors could be found ;
subsequently the sergeant resolved to makes march over the
whole place, and commenced in the prisoner's bedroom, who
manifested perfect indifference to the proceeding, merely
remarking. "You'll not find anything there," When,
however, his bed was approached, he suddenly said, " You LL
find the things there," and, on turning over the mattress.
four stamps for patent inventions, each worth sk, and 63
letters, about 30 of which had postage stamps on theca, and
should have been posted days since, were discovered, while
in the prisoner's pocket 31. 10u, io gold and 7a. 10d. in diver
and copper money was found.
Mr. Frederick Reiner., clerk to the prosecutors, said that
prisoner had been • junior clerk to the firm for several
years. He did not board there but had the use of a room.
The cash-box contained on the night previous to the alleged
!weary exactly the amount of gold found on him, and
about la in other money. Witness locked the Rafe contain-
ing the stamps in question himself, as also a cows cheque,
which was not touched.
It was intimated that the firm were desirous the prisoner
should be dealt with summarily and leniently, if passible.
It was impossible to attend and prosecute.
Prisoner said be was guilty, that he had been led into bad
company or should not have so disgraced himself, and was
very penitent.

FRIGHTFUL DEATHS THROUGH BEING RUN
OYER BY RAILWAY TRAINS.

INQUEBTS.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning at 9 o'clock Mr. J. C. Carttar,
coroner for the county of Kent, held an inquiry at the
Foresters' Arms, Forest-hill, respecting the death of John
Haywood, aged 54 years, who was run over and killed on
the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway by a South
Eastern expose train.
After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict that
deceased was killed by being run over by a train on the
Leaden. Brighton, and South Coast Railway, and not by
the wilful act or malice of any person or persons whatsoever.
Mr. Cotter then proceeded to Bell Green, Sydenham, to
hold an inquest upon the body of Mrs. Emma Chant, who
was run over and killed by an expel= train at a level
taming on the Mid Kent Railway.
The jury in this case returned a verdict "That deceased was
killed by being ran over by a certain exprees train on the
Mid• Kent Railway, but without any wilful violence on the
part of any person or persons whatever, and they recom-
mend that the Railway Company should have a bridge
erected at the stations to enable the passengers to avoid
the danger of craning the metals."

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

A special meeting was held at noon, in con-
formity with the standing criers of the House of Lords, Mr.
GOODSON in the chair, to consider various bills before parlia-
ment in which the company are interested either ea promoters
or otherwise. The number of bills was thirteen, but one
of them was not in a sufficiently forward state to be enb-
mitted to the meeting. Four of them directly authorised
the raising of new capital by ordinary shares to the
extent of 1,748000/., and a third of that amount by deben-
tures. Several shareholders objected to the proposed
outlay on the ground that it would tend to depreciate
the market value of the ordinary shares. A long
&elusion ensued, in the course of which the chairman
stated that the directors bad proxies for 2.000,0001. ordi-
nary stock, and that before any money could be expended
the shareholders must be convened and give their sanction.
la reply to an inquiry whether it was true, as bad been
rumoured, that 1001. debenture stock wee likely to be Untied
to oontractors at SOL,
The CHAIRMAN replied that there was so ground for that
katement.
Ultimately the bills were saactiooed on a show of bands.
