ACCIDENT ON !NE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
Lnis.—Au accident, involving destruction of property to a
mesidemble amount, occurred on this line at the Halifax
Junction, near Sowerbv Bridge, yesterday. A luggage train
started from Sowerby Bridge for Leeds, about haff-past ten
o'olook in the forenoon, but by some means not yet natio-
factoeily explained, as soon as the train left the main lime
for the junction, the engine got off the rails, dragging with
it the tender, the transit-van, and three trucks leed with
iron. The engine ran about 100 yards in this way, pogb-
Mg up the line, breaking the sleepers into match wo4 and-aDd
emsahing the rail. Ultimately the engine, the tender, and
the van were overturned. The driver and stoker moped
with
comparatively little hurt, but the guard, named John
Littlewood, of Holm6rth, but lodging at Sowerby Bridge,
bed his aced fractured by falling out of the van when it
was overturning. Be is now at die Halifax lofirmsry.
Tie tine was loom.: up and the trains bad
to to round by North Dean /unction. „,
A murderous assault was committed at latils"Cbs
near Blackburn, on Teseday, on • policeman. A
pnblie-house fight, tudortunate-ly, called for his
interference, sod after some tiro*, this
with the landlord and others, succeeded riedrn.ving
the drunken Fictive wit of the house. The seem escaped
from the house, and the policeman followed than. Ho
was found shortly afterwards in the middy of the highway,
dreadfully bruised in body, and his skull fractured. The
mon are in custody ; the policeman lies in an almost hope-
less state.
