Two GENTLEMEN DROWNED.--012 Tuesday
evening a melancholy boat accident took place near Mill
-
port, whereby two gentlemen lost their lives. On Tues-
day afternoon Colonel Thomas Morgan, of her
M jesty's Bombay Native Infantry, and Mr.
Alexander Tweedie, son of a retired merchant from
London, hired a small sailing boat from the
shore, and accompanied by three ladies, proceeded'
to cruise about the bay. The sails upon the boat were
what are nautically known as a •' shoulder of mut-
ton" mainsail and a jib. After cruising about for
some time Misses Bkik and Weir requested to
be put ashore, and theii request was complied
with. Mies Brown, however, and the two gentlemen
thereafter ed out again to the bay. While return-
ing tow s the shore, and passing between Farland point
and the "Aliens" rock, a severe squall struck the sail,
which caused the boat to jibe, and on the blast again
striking the sail the mall craft shipped a quantity of
water, which caused her almost immedin ly thereafter to
Ma, leaving the three persons struggling in the see.
Fortunately Miss Brown was able to swim a little, and she
managed to keep herself afloat until rescued. Mr.
Tweedie was also able to swim a little, but he perished ere
he could be picked up. Colonel Morgan, who lost an arm
in active service in the East, it is believed could not swim.
When the boat sank Mr. Tweedie caught Miss Brown
when he felt himself sinking, and it was only after a
struggle that she was able to clear herself from his

spectator of the melancholy death of his ass and his
friend. Colonel Morgan was aged about 20 years, and
Mr. Tweedie was about 30, and was to have bean married

RISK ALLAH AND HIS DAMAGES.—Yesterday, at
the Lord Mayor's Court, the Recorder gave judgment in
an application which had been made to diuhaege an order
for attaching the 9604 which had been awarded Risk
Allah in the action for libel against the proprietors of the
Lady Telegraph. The plaintiffs were the City Offices
Company (Limited), and it being averred Mid the deka-
dant Risk Allah, was indebted to the ea play, it was
sought to attach the amount of the dame... hands
of the garnishees, the proprietors of the paper. On the
part of the defendant it was contended that as attachment
would not lie, as judgment had not been signed. and
therefore the garnishees could not be said to hold moneys
the property of the defendant. For the plaintiffs it was
submitted that the application was premature, and that
whether or not the garnishees held moneys the property
of the defendant was a question of fact for the considera-
tion of the jury. The Recorder, in giving judgment, said
it appeared to him that he ought not to decide u.. an
interlocutory application as to whether the attac. rut
was good or not. He was not at present required to say
whether it was good. No order was made.
FORGERY BY A BOY.—Peter Ashlin, a lad shout
14 years of age, acting as junior clerk in the .IFroe of
Messrs. Simpson and Millington, solicitors, of ; . was
charged before the borough magistrates with 1. 2'. and
uttering two cheques upon the bank of Messrs. a and
Co., the one for 701. and the other for 201. as. Both
cheques were dated July 22, 1888, and signed " C. Rice."
The following evidence was adduced:—Mr. Win. Porter
said—l ern clerk in the bank of Messrs. (3arflt, Boston. The
prisoner came to the bank on Wednesday afternoon the
22nd inst., and presented for payment the two cheques
now produced. One of them is for 701. and the other for
201. 6e. They are signed "C. Rice." Mr. Chas. Rice,
solicitor, of this town, keeps an account at our bank.
I told the prisoner when he presented the cheques that
they were not in the handwriting of Mi. Ripe,and asked him if he thought Mr. Rice had in-
structed any of the clerks in the office to write them.
He replied, I think the writing is most like Mr. Rice's."
The cheques were not caabedi but handed over to Mr.
Thos. Garfi in t. Mr. W. Wig ton said—l am partner
with Mr. Clime. Rice, solicitor, of this town, and am well
acquainted with his handwriting. The two cheques pro-
duced and the signatures thereto are certainly not in his
handwriting. Superintendent Waghorn arrested the pri-
soner, and on charging him with the forgery the lad said,
" Yes, I did; I got the cheques out of Mr. Millmstoa's
cheque-book, from his drawer upstairs." The primmer
was committed for trial at the next arises at Lincoln.
