ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A TRAIN WNILZ IN NOTION.
NARROW ESCAPE.

Philip Wright and Edmund Ryan. both laboured, were
placed in the dock before Mr. foghorn on a charge of being
drunk and attempting to enter a train while in motion, to
the danger of their lives.
Mr. John Thorn, the Putney station-muter, stated that
on the previous evening he saw the prinoners on the op.
platform, they having previously crossed the line from the
down aide, contrary to the directions of the porters. Os
the arrival of a tram for Kew and Hounslow ti.e prisoners
again crossed the line in front of the engine after it had
started.

James Hoare, the guard of the train, said he closed the
doors, and meting all clear be blew the whistle, and the
train started. The prisoners then ran round from the
engine, passed his van, and attempted to enter one of tho
compartment.. If it had not been for the presence of
mind of the prinengers in assisting Ryan inside he must
have been under the wheel. The other prisoner entered
afterwards. Witness stopped the train to allow him to
enter.

In defence Ryan said he was told the train was foriing•
aton and he ran to catch it.

Mr. Ingham said if the prisoner had been killed hit
wife would have brought an action against the company,
and it would have been very difficult to prove that he vu
the person to blame. If he liked to kill himself that vu
his own look out.

Ryan was then fined 205., or 14 days' imprisonment; and
Wright 10s., or seven days.

COLLISION ON THIF NORTH EASTERN RAI LWAY.
Yesterday morning • sad collision occurred between the
Scotch express, leaving London at 9.15 p.m., and a goods
train from Hull, near Bolton Percy station. It teemed
that the goods train in question was being shonta from
the down line on to the up line, to make way for the et-
press, which at the time we have mentioned had not pati&
It was about an hour late, and, consequently,as it was &Inlet
momentarily expected, it was deemed proper to elitist the
goods train to let it pass. While this was being executed
J. Dickenson, the signal maa, turned on both signals both
in rear and in front of the goods, for the purpose Of 140*
feeling it from all approaching trains. It animated that
those signals had nut been noticed, for the Scotch 'Weal
came rapidly up, consisting of two engines and • veg
heavy train, and ran into the latterpart of the goods trams
smashing five of the heavily laden trucks to atoms. The first
engine of the expres turned on its side and fell paitlYdaws
an embankment, being ripped up and twisted into ~.
shape% The second engine fortunately sever left the line,
and thus assisted to stop the momentum of the train. Oft
the appearance of • collision being inevitable, the engine
driver and stoker of the leading engine jumped off. and
thus preserved their lives. Several of the passentrem
through the violence of the collision, sustained severe cuts
and bruises ; but all, we believe, were enabled to prosecute
their journey the same morning. The gnarl of the ex-
press was badly wounded, but he too was enabled to go far*
ward after some little delay. Luckily a medical gentleman
was in the train, and he very kindly rendered all the mot-
mice in his power until the arrival of Mr. Crumacic. tut'
geou, of York, who then took charge of the unfeeling",
sufferers. The news of the accident having been oominum•
sated to York, several of the officiate, including Mr.
Goodwin, of the Great Northern Railway ronno.tny (nk*e.
train suffered the most); Mr. Grayson, North Eastern
Mr. Sales, and several ethyl., with a hatch of men. were
quickly on the spot, and although the line exhibited.' bete
mass of debris, • delay of only some three hours sod*
half took place.
