stood there "bast twenty minute,* the ether train ran into
it. I UM • man, who I afterw oda enderrood to be the

am not positive that there was not. After
the ge.r 1 w. at down the as* with th• _iuht I remarked
thieekers was no red lamp to the end of the via,, sad
mild to some of the passengers who were on the read that
there should be a red lamp on the last cameo. A. I stood
• than s lady pat he bead ens of the window of a carriage

and asked me to get her a drink us water. Ilse night Iva,
dark, and a thick shower of rain had joist et me on. From
where I stood, to the •pot where the collision took place,
was not more than a perch. The goods train came along at
• red/nimbly strong speed, but not faster than usual.
' When tia.l struck the Ctri:4,l '.wh recessed the blow of
I the luggage engine was raised up as high as the wires of
t^e electric telegraph. upwards of 12 feet. The goods train
did not appear to slacken its speed.
A Juror—When the guard returned did he make any
remark to you about the driver not having obeyed the
signals?
Witnees—l said to him—" who the d-1 happened to
you that you did nut stop him ?" And his reply was—
" He did not seem to mind me."
To the Jury—l observed the %rule light at the aide of the
train, but no light behind ; the guard said that the lamp he
took was his own ; if a red lamp was put on the end of the
train it must have been there only three or four minutes
before the accident occurred.

To the Coroner—The line is perfectly straight for two
miles beyond where the train stopped, and we saw the light
of the goods train as it was on its way down.
Mr. Kempster Malcolm Knapp examined—l was a pas-
senger by the train which left the station at Killarney at
about half-past tea o'clock yesterday, the 6th instant ; I
was accompanied by my wife, Cherry Agnes Knapp, my
child Annie, and • young lady, • cousin of my wife's,
tamed Margaret Palmer ; the train became stationary.
about oil o'clock is the evening at Clowning's, and in reply
to • ques•ion asked by some one I heard the guard,
or some officer of the company, reply that there
was semis slight injury to the engine; I and my
party remained in the carriage after man of the
other passengers had got out ; at last I got out to look about
me, but still stood by the carriage in which my wife and
friends were. I did not imagine that any accident would
occur, as I saw the guard acd others going down the line
with lights and • red flag. My wife asked me not to stand
so near the carriage, so I went on the bank immediately
Opposite to it, where several other persons were standing.
While there I saw the lights of the other train approaching
at apparently so slow a speed that every one mid, "It is
all safe," and entreated the ladies to keep their seats. I
saw the approaching train pass the guard, who bad gone
down the line to meet it, at • distance of a quarter of a mile
or thereabouts. I had seen the guard wave his light the
whole time to the train which was approaching,wbieh made
us think it was a signal that everything was right. It
appeared to me shortly after that the approaching train
all at once increased its speed, and I called to my friend
to jump out, but in an instant the approaching train
dashed into the stationary train. The carriage in which
I and my friend, were travelling was a second class
carriage and wee the last of the train, and consequently
was Cult to the engine which ran into it. I saw it dashed
' to pieces, and thinking that my wife and her cousin were
under the engine I searched about it for some time in dark-
ness and covered with steam. After about flares quarters
of an hour's searching, as it appeared to me, I found the
bodies of my wife and her cousin, who were then quite
dead, about 60 yards behind the engine. I found my little
girl under their dead badies ; etc was mush mangled and
scalded, and her 1-g broke.
The little daughter of Mr. Knapp was still surviving.
Several others of the bodies of the sufferers having been
identified, it was arranged that the inquest should stand
adjourned to Saturday morning, at 11 o'clock, at Barry's
Hotel.

The Tenant-right Conference continued its sittings
during yesterday, and passed the resolutions pro-
posed by Mr. Lucas, for the encouragement of menu-
, lecturing industry in this country. The resolutions
have already appeared in the Express." --104 to
The price of admission to the Great Industrial
Exhibition will be reduced from Monday next to

Dr. Kelly, the presiding magistrate at Capel-street
Police office, gave Judgment yesterday, in the case of
, Mrs. Dees, against Mrs. Kelly and others, for con-
spiring to destroy certain documents connected with
the case of Thewles r. Kelly, lie said :
That in this case informations were sought to be exhi-
bited against Sarah Kelly and Christopher Wm. Campion,
for having entered into an unlawful conspiracy with one
John Robert Malone, to defeat the course °Clunk*, by pro-
curing the dartruction of certain letters, in issue in a cause
pending in the Prerogative Court, when Sarah Kelly was
promovant, and Elisabeth Thewles, otherwise Hew, was
=piquant. The offence alleged, and the facts sworn to
in support of it, intimately connected, as they necessarily
were, with the several proceedings in the cause of Kelly tr.
'thewlos, in the Prerogative Court, and also in the several
courts of appeal before which it had been at hearing reap
dered it necessary for him, for the el lucidation of
the ease, to refer to different stages in that cause. He then
referred at length to the circumstances of the use, and the
evidence adduced before bins, and after having reviewed the
law in reference to such prosecutions, as laid down in
several eases which he cited, said he had no doubt that
for all the reasons stated, the facts put forward in evidence
did sot constitute a criminal offence. Entertaining those
views, both of the facts and the law, he would dismiss the
ssaunoss, and discarge the defendants.

BALLINASLOE FAIR.
BALLINAILOZ, TIIMIDAT.—The horse fair took place
this day. The high prices obtained in some instance* for
hones is not to be taken as an saponent of the general
character of the fair. The results in general most be con-
sidered as rather unsatisfactory, as the prices demanded
were in genera. far above what buyers were willing to
accede to. The show of first-elass animals was rather thin ;
it must be admitted, however, that some of the best blood
hones in Connaught were offered for sale. Lord Crofton
sold a splendid thorough-bred hunter for 1001.; but this,
like the other quotations I sent you, was but a rare instance
amongst the transactions of the fair. The total number of
bones .old to-day amounts only to 111. There appears to
be a numerous supply of blank cattle ; as yet, however, I
can form bat a slender idea of what may be the tendency of
the fair in this respect. A small amount of business was
effec:ed this evening at fair prices. The customs' return
eshibits, as sold, up to the end of the fair to-day, 166 two
year olds, 16 yearlings, and h calves.
The actual number of sheep at the great fair was as
fol:ows sold 44,656, unsold 15,098; 1632, sold
45,950, unsold 3,288.
