COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD,
AND LINCOLN/MIME RAlLWAT.—Yesterdav looming, about
half pad nOt, as a pmenger train from cluddetsfleld had
got to about half a mile from Sheffield, the officers in charge
saw that a bonen train was coming down the same lint.
The breaks were applied and the speed considerably
'lichened. and then tho guard, engine driver, and stoker
jumped off. The two latter received no injury, but the
guard wee mach bruised. The engine of the wanner
train came in contact with a ballast waggon, shattering the
top of it to pieces. The passengers, who sustained net
injury beyond a slight shaking, left the train and walked to
the Sheld station.
In the cue of Thomas Mansell, condemned to
death at the Mairboone AdßiZeO, the Attorney-Osumi boa
issued a new Sat, to ham the case raised at the trial argued
before the Exchequer Chamber. It will be remembered that
the Court of Queen's Bench decided in favour of the camel*.
Con, and against the points raised by pate ner's comma. Si
R. Babel!, however, is not satisfied with this decision., gad•
coo of so much delicacy—involving human life—has de-
cided upon obtaining the judgmeot of the higher tribunal.
In the case of a decision by one of the superior worts at
Westminster, the Court of Error is composed of the judges
of the other two courts of law. In thin cue, therefore, air
question will be decided by the judges of the 'Exchequer and
of the Common Pleas. In the meantime the sentence is
readied to the 22nd of June.—(Thscrrer.
