who had been • passenger by that line, and who
had a charge of • serious character to prefer against
• elergyinth, the incumbent of • large parish la the metre-
poi* aad oleo • popular preacher. The lady, who appeared
to ha about 19 or 20 years of age, sad of propose lug anew-
mos, as entering the witness box, said that on the night
bed= eke got into a second-clam carriage of en up train at
Kingston, and at Wandsworth the persoa of whem she had
to complain got into the same carriage, took a seat right
opposite is her, and soon commenced the conduct of which
she had to complain to his worship. He placed his leg, un-
perceived, in the first instance, under her dress and between
both hers, and acted in a manner to cooviace her hts inten-
tion was to insult her, and the instant she discovered this
she moved away to another part of the carriage. She was,
however, followed by the same parson, who renewed hie
boats.

Mr. Norton—How often did he act in the manner you
have described after you removed
Apphcsat—Only once, b►t be did it several times on the
first occasion, sad tried to resume it. A gentleman in the
carriage saw that I appeared very much annoyed by him,
polu to him about it, and said that if I did not give aim is
charge he sisonid. He also ordered trim to sit on the amber
side of the carriage—the side ha was on, but some distance
from ma.

Mr. Norton—Did the person move voluntarily at the gem•
thman's bidding?

Mr. Norton—Did he say anything on his doing so?
Applicant—Yes. lie said he did not think he hod offended
anyone. mid that if he had dons anything to offend me he
hoped I could eICIIdII It.
r. Norton—Did you make any complaint to the gentl►
mac you have mentiorted before he latafered ?

Applicant—Nu, sir ; but I ZdTia;;;;;;Z: get out of the
person'e -ay us far as I could by sitting back ; and I sup-
pose he observed me, fur he at once said to the person, "You
en very much seaming that lady."
Mr. Norton—The person's willingness to move and hie
expreamons would lead to the belief that he warn 01102111.63118
of offending or doing so intentionally.
Applicant—lie must have been quite well aware of it, sad
had there not have been a third person Is the carriage I do
not know the extant of insult to which I might have been
euVimted_
, Mr. Norton—The moond•class carriages are not very
wide, and may it not happen, particularly to a lady of sena-
tive mind and fettling, that au accidental touch may be taken
for en intentional Insult ? Now I wish to ask you whether
the act of which you eomplaie wee deliberate and intentional,
or whether it might not be the remit of accident?
Applicant (ensphaticelly)-1 am quite certain it was inten-
tionally done, and that he meant to insult tee.
Mr. Norton—Cen yen mate 'hereabout this misconduct
took place ?
Applicant—Daring the journey from Wandsworth and
not main miles from the Wisteria, Station.
Mr. Norton—What le the parson complained of ?
Mr. Bent—He Is a ckrayman, air, whom name I have
gcat; end I have attended here with tire young lady by
of Mr. Young, the staiion-master at Waterloo
station, to take out a summons, or take such other proem&
Inge is your worship may determine on, as it is Mr. Young's
and the company', determination to protect all peaseems,
and MOM particularly ladles, travelling on the line. I beg to
sell your worship's attention to the 6th rule in the cempeny's
bye-lave, which way meet this case, and which stales that
" any person found in a carriage or a station in estate of
lakaication, committing any nuisance, or otherwise wilfully
Interfering with the comfort of other pawners, le herby
subject to • penalty of 40a."
Mr. Norton directed that a immune= be taken cad for the
offmos mentioned in this rue, and the naatasary instructions
having been taken, the summons was issued.
It appears, though the tact did not transpire before the
magistrate, that this clerical personage baa already suffered
pinny dearly for his conduct, fur it so happened that the
gentleman who is paying his addressee to the insulted lady
was awaiting her snivel at the Waterloo station, end on
being made acquainted with the circumstance, he gave the
rimmed divine a severe pummelling.

accident, arising from the imprudent modes d paseingers
attempting to leave carriages while the train is in motion,
happened at the Bow station of this line a/railway. A Mrs.

Avonne-road, Bow, had beech as we understead, to visit a
relative at the London and North-Western Railway clearing
house, Camden-town, and was returning home on the North
London Railway, when she met with her death. The train
had in due course ranched the Bow station, and it would ap-
pear that ohs was not aware of the fact until the train had
re-startedifor Feeohuroh-street, when site jumped up and,
opening the carriage door, endeavoured to get out. A por-
ter named Martin called to her to remain in the carriage and
to close the door, but finding that she disregarded hiscaution,
and woe persevering in her efforts to leave, he ran forward
with the view either of keeping her in or molding her in
landing upon the platform. He got hold of her but by NOM
means he missed his footing, and wan dragied along the
edge of the platform to the end under the bridp which
carries the Bow-road over the line, where they were both
thrown on the permanent-way. As soon as the train pissed
they were picked up, and the old lady was found to have
sustained &fearful tractive of the skull and was quite dead.
The porter is stated to be seriously injured.
