DEATH OF A WATERLOO VETERAN.—The death
has taken place of Henry Latimer, at his residence,
Rathkenny, county Cavan, Ireland, aged 7fi. He was
one of the few remaining heroes of NVaterloo, having
been a pensioner upwards of fifty-one years. For his
skill in husbandry he was rewarded with the estate he
lived on rent free for the last twenty years of his life by
the Hon. Theophilus Clements.
A BAILIFF IN A DIFFICULTY.—The following story
is told in connexion with the recent seizure for debt of a
railway train at Shrewsbury. As has been already stated
the ordinary traffic of the line was, after the enforcement
of the writ, permitted to be continued with the proviso
that a bailiff should accompany each train. This condition
was naturally very galling to the officers of the railway
company, but they nevertheless treated the representative
of the civil law with marked politeness. On the night of
his first becoming a constant passenger by the line he rode
luxuriantly in a first class carriage to Llanymvnech, and
on the return journey the attentive guard conducted him
to a similar compartment, which was devoted to his sole
occupation. On arriving at Kinnerly the bailiff became
conscious of th- progress of an elaborate process of shunt-
ing, followed by an entire stoppage of the train. After
sitting patiently for some minutes it occurred to him to
put his bead out of the window and inquire the reason
for the delay, and in carrying out that idea he
discovered that the train of which his carriage
had lately formed a portion was vanishing from sight
round a distant curve in the line. Re lost no time in
getting out and making his way into the station, which be
found locked up according to custom after the paeans
through of the last down train. Kinnerly is a small
Tillage about twelve miles from Shrewsbury, and offers no
accommodation for chance guests ; and had it been other-
wise, it was of course the first duty of the bailiff to look
after the train of which he was at that moment supposed
to be in possession. There being no alternative, he
started on foot for Shrewsbury, where he arrived shortly
after midnight, havingaccomplishedaperdouspassage along
the line. It appeared on inquiry that the coupling chain
which connected the tail-coach with the body of the
train had, by some means, become unlinked—hence the
accident. The bailiff accepted the explanation, but on
subsequent journeys has carefully avoided the tail car
