A SERIOUS ACCIDENT occurred yesterday at the recently
commenced works of the Stour Valley Railway, in the
centre of the town of Birmingham. A shaft having been
sunk preparatory to the construction of the tunnel, the men
have been, for several dayw, engaged in "blasting," and
during one of these operations, yesterday, a man thus em
ployed became so seriously affected by inhaling the sulphur,
that he was unable to preserve his scat in the bucket in
which he was sitting. Whilst midway between the surface
and the bottom of the shaft, he fell over, and was precipitated
downward a distance of many yards. On being raised to the
top, it was discovered that he lied sustained such frightful
injuries as to render recovery almost hopeless. He was
instantly removed to one of the hospitals, and died a few
hours afterwards.

NEW CANDIDATE TOR ANDOVER —A rumour has been
afloat for some days past, giving out that Mr. Gully, the well-
known sporting gentleman, will be put forward with R. Et-
wall, Esq., on the Liberal interest at the next election for
this borough. Mr. Gully's liberality at Stockbridge, 6 miles
from here, and his known wealth, induces some of the voters
to wish the rumour true.
SevestaL ROBBERIES have recently been committed in
Southsea and its neighbourhood.

CHARGEABILITY OP DI-DOOR PAUPERS.—The following
ease was lately submitted to the Poor Law Commissioners
for their opinion: " Whether the in-door relief of poor
persons. who after having berm relieved in the workhouse as
acknowledged paupers of a particular parish, and who go
out of the workhouse for temporary purposes, and then,
after an absence of a few days or a few weeks, apply again
for admission into the union-house, should be charged
to the parish to which it bad formerly been charged, or
to the parish from which such pauper may come
into the union-house after such temporary absence,
and whether the circumstance of the paupers giving
notice of their intention to leave the house, or of their
having leave from the board to go out for a few days,
would or ought toulake any difference as to charging such
relief after their retirn into the house ?" Answer—" The
emumiseioners consider that if a pauper leaves the workhouse
for a temporary purpose, without discharging himself there-
from, the chargeability on his return to the workhouse con-
tinues upon the parish at the charge whereof he was origi-
nally admitted into the house; but where the pauper
discharges himself from the workhouse, and enters again
upon a fresh admission, the commissioners are of opinion that
a fresh chargeability commences, and attaches upon the
parish in which the subsequent destitution occurs, and in or
from which the pauper applies for relief."—Esau Herald.

CREAN C. SOLOMON.—INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN ORB
SALE OP SAFER IN IMITATION OP CRURB.B PATENT.-Mr.
Bethel' stated that in this PRO an injunction had been
granted by the court to restrain the defendant, who was a
furniture broker in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
from Felling any safes manufactured in imitation of those
made by the plaintiffs. The Mesta. Chubb had found it
necessary to apply fur injunctions against the defendant, as
well as other persons, who had sold articles purporting to be I
made according to his patent, in order that the public should I
not be misled in purchasing at other shops safes which have
had annexed to them the distinguishing mark of the Messrs.
Chubb. An action at law was directed, but Mr. Solomon,
the defendant, was now oati.fied that the safe he was cop w-
ing fur sale was not Messrs. Chubb's manufacture, and that
he ought not any longer to contest the matter; he was,
therefore, willing to submit to the injunction being made
absolute.

THE QUEER V. THE XATOR OP
MONS HT CHURCHWARDENS TO SIGN A BURGESS LIST,
DOSS HOT DISENTITLE THOSE PERSONS WHOSE NAILER
ARE UPON IT FROM HAVING TELEX INSERTED ON THE
nuaossit ROLL.—This was • demurrer to a return to a writ
of mandamus, which commanded the Mayor of Dover to
insert on the burgess roll of that borough, the names of cer-
tain persons which had been presented to him, for such in-
sertion, on the burgess list of a certain ward. The returns
let forth as excuse, that the burgess list named in the writ
had not been signed by the churchwardens, as the Municipal
Corporations Act repaired t it denied, in the language of the I
writ, that all the rates due from the parties complaining had ,
been paid ; and it asserted that certain specific rates had not '
been paid. The demurrer impugned the sufficiency of
the first of these answers ; objected to the second as
amounting to a general traverse ; and complained of the
third as not traversing with auffteient particularity
the allegation in the writ. After hearing an argument
thereon, the Court had postponed its judgment. Lord Den-
man now said that the Court, without determining whether
or not it was necesaary for the churchwardens to sign the
burgess lists, was of opinion that their omission to sign them,
even if necessary, WM no answer to this writ. Tie payment
of rrtes being neeessroy, the allegation thnt they fia4 ),en
paid was platerial, and therefore was properly traversed in
