DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT IBA BAILWAT CARRIAGE.

&ÜBE LISTS.-(THIS DAY:)

George Temple, a well-dressedyounix7;n, was;d at
the bar before MkWoolrych, charged with Interfering
with the comfort of the passengers on the North Kent
Railway, also with assaulting Mr. W. H. Williamson, and
committing damage to the amount of lye.
Mr. Williamson said that on the previous night he was a
passenger in a second-class carriage from Woolwich.
There were at the time the prisoner, • companion of his,
both of whom were drunk, witness, two friends, and two
ladies. Soon after the train started the prisoner acted
like a madman, shouting, and making use of ex-
traordinary language, and the ladies became so
frightened that they left the carriage at New-cross,
where two old gentlemen exchanged seats with them. The
prisoner then became more violent than ever, and because
witness remonstrated with him he struck him several
blows on the face. They then had a struggle, during
which the prisoner spoilt his hat, and he lest his necktie
and cameo pin. Another gentleman in the carriage
assisted in holding him until the train arrived at London-
bridge, when he was given into custody.
In answer to Mr. Woolrych, witness said that the
prisoner persisted in taking one aide of the carriage by
lying at full length, and when he was remonstrated with
he said he was a Seotahman, and could fight any six
Englishmen. He was very much under the ;uiluence of
liquor.
Mr. William Heath said he was in the same carriage,
and at first he suspected the prisoner was an escaped
lunatic, but afterwards he saw that he was in liquor. As
soon as he attacked last witness he reaserted to prevent
him from committing any serious injury. The prisoner in
his violence tore witness's waistcoat, and spoiled his hat.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the wit-
nesses commenced sharing as soon as the train left Wool-
wich, and he chaffed them in return. Being exasperated
they quarrelled with him, and he was struck by one of
them, and the result was • little bit of a fight. He
admitted being a little the worse for liquor, but one was as
bad the other.

Foreign railway shares are quiet, bnt there is a
demand for Lombardo-Venetian, which have im-
proved to 11k to I, being ss. higher than
day. Grand Trunk of Canada and East yes
stocks have been dealt in at steady quotations.
