The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

young women, well.knovrn convicted exert thieves, were
brought before Mr. Conte, charged with assaulting a man
named Jonon, and robbing him in the public street.
rin the case being called on the prosecutor did not make
his appearance.
Mr. Combs asked the nature of the charge.
Police-constable AS L said be was on duty in the London-
reed about two that morning, when he beanl mato( police.
He then saw a man lying on the ground, and the pri-
omen running away. He secured Driscoll, and in the
struggle with her she dropped fivepence in coppers, which
she said did not belong to her. The other female was
secured, and when the prosecutor came up he said he had
been knocked down by the prisouers, who rifled his pockets,
but fortunately for him lie had only fivepence in coppers
about him. He, however, gave them in charge.
Mr. Comte asked what state be was in at the time.

The constable replied that he had been drinking, and he
did not think he would attend to prosecute the prisoners, as
his loss had been so small.

Mr. Combo wilted what was knowoof the prisoners
The °Moors said they were well-known convicted thieves.
Driscoll had not long been out of prison.
Both prisoners denied the charge. and Driscoll said she
never told the officer that the coppers did not belong to her.
Mr. Cumbe told them it was lucky the prosecutor did not
appear. Had he done so, he must have committed them
for trial. They were now discharged.

BOILER EXPLOSIONS AND LOSS OP LIPS.

About eight o'clock on Friday morning last, an
accident occurred at Church Works, the property of Mr.
F. Steiner, dyer and calico printer, Accringtou. It seems
that a number of workmen were near a large copper pin,
about five feet in circumference, containing boiling water and
a few calico pieces, when the cover or lid was blown toff with
terrific fora against the top of the building, carrying screws
and bolts along with it, the boiling water being scattered
about in all directions. The pan was constructed for 12Ibs.
or 141bs. pressure, but at the time of the accident there was
only a pressure of steam of Vbs. to the square inch. It is
conjectured that the clamps, which fasten the lid upon the
pan, must have worked loose unnoticed by the men, or such
• slight pressure of steam would not have caused such devas-
tation. When the steam had cleared away, it was found
that the men in close proximity to where the accident
occurred had sustained severe injury. The following wore
much welded :—Ralph Johnson, John Tomlinson, John
Riley, Henry Riding, James Criiinhaw, David Heys., Wil-
liam Boothinao, Wm. Duckworth, and Geo. Hope. Mr.
John Arkwright, surgeon, was immediately east far, and
had the sufferers conveyed home on trusses. Very faint
hopes were entertained of the recovery of the three first.
Tomlinson had been struck in the side by • bolt, as well se
scalded. On Sunday morning, about four o'clock, Hal*
Johnson died ; and on Monday morning Tomlinson died,
leaving a wife and seven children.
O Monday afternoon, an inquest was held at the Queen's
Hotel, Rawtenstall, before Mr. H. N. Hargreaves, on the
body of George Ingham, aged 32 years, whom death was
occasioned by • terrific boiler explorion at Clough Bridge
Mill, near ltawtenatall. Two other persons (the manager
and the engineer) were seriously injured at the time, but
the manager is supposed to be recovering. The engineer
lies in a very precarious condition, and doubts are still
entertained relative to his ultimate recovery. The inquiry
had been adjourned, in order to afford an inspection
by a consulting engineer, and Mr. Fairbairn had been
requested to undertake the duty, but, as he could not
attend, he recommended Mr. L. E. Fletcher, chief engineer
for the Association for the Prevention of Steam Boiler Ex-
plosion ; and accordingly the latter gentleman made an in-
spection of the premises, and examined the exploded boiler,
and expressed his opinion that the collapse of the flue arose
from the absence of any strengthening hoops. After other
evidence, the jury decided to give a verdict of accidental
death, but expressed an opinion that Mr. Ashworth, the
owner, deserved to be highly censured for permitting the
boiler to be worked at so high • pressure without having a
competent opinion upon it.
