THE PALLING IN OP A RAILWAY TUNNEL,
NEAR SHEFFIELD.

On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was opened
before Henry Webster, deputy coroner, on the bodies of
the six men who lost their lives by the falling in of the
railway tunnel connecting the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincolnshire with the Midland Railway at Sheffield. The
whole of the bodies have been recovered. Their names are
William Booth, Thomas Booth, Henry Booth, Samuel
Lawton, James Maley, and Johu Harriman.
The jury having viewed the bodies, and they having been
identified, Thomas Wright maid— I live in Sheffield sod am
a labourer. I knew Samuel Lawton, one of the deceased.
He was a labourer, and was about 51 years of age. I was
present when the accident occurred at the tunnel on Monday
morning. It fell in a little before ten o'clock. I was one
of the workmen there, and was on the ground at the time
lof the ambient. I was the only one who escaped unhurt.
I only saw one of the men swallowed up. I was running round
to see the wall go down, and they all went down together
directly. They got off where they were working on to the
tunnel. They were working between the stables and the
tunnel. I knew all the men, and have seen all their bodies
downstairs. They ran upon the tunnel because they
thought the stable wall was giving way, and that was what
made nie go round to look. The tunnel and pert of the
wall gave way, and both fell at the same time. I saw all
the men but Henry and Thomas Booth dug out of the ruins.
They were all dead. The first alarm I heard was the men
calling out that the stable wall was giving way. I heard the
timber crack that propped the stable wall up. That part of
the wall had not been down before, but the other end had.
It was propped up to prevent its falling, I suppose. A
fortnight since last Saturday another part of the stable wall
gave way.
John Eaton—l am a stonemason. On Monday morning
I waist work walling near the tunnel which has fallen in.
I was working for Mr. Reynolds, at the stables which are in
course of erection. I was on the wall which is being built
to support the railway tunnel arch. While at work I heard
a noise and a crash. I turned round, nod the hank was falling
in, and the men were shuttering in under it. I had seen the
men a minute before, and had spoken to them. All the men
fell in but one, Thomas Wright, who stepped on the wall
where I was. 1 knew Mal and Lawton. I have sees
all the bodies downstairs. They were all working for Mr.
Reynolds on Month), morning. Three of them only began
working that morning for Mr. Reynolds. The side of the
stable has fallen. It fell into the building, and not towards
the tunnel. The wall of the tunnel did not fall in, but
the arch fell in nod took the soil and everything with it.
Part of the stable wall fell with the tunnel, and part after.

lir. John Sykes-Sam II surgeon. and reside in the Wicker.
I have seen the bodies of the deceased, and examined them.
Some of them died from asphi xis (suffocation), and
some, I think, from fractures of the skull and different
parts. Only two, as far as I have been able to uncer-
tain, died from fractures. I was present when the
last body was dug out. I believe it was one of the
Booths. The last body wss found in the upper broken part
of the tunnel. The first I saw of the body was the bouts,
which were just apparent.
The °Droner and jury then viewed the place of the accident,
and the inquest was adjourned till nine o'clock on Widnes.
day, the6th of March.

THE FIRE AND Lon OP TWO LIVES IN SHORE
nrrrH.—Yesterday Mr. John Humphreys the coroner fo
East Middlesex, resumed, at the Black Home Tavern
Kingsland-road, the adjourned inquest on the bodies of
Emma and William %aeons, who perished in • fire that
took place in the house of their parents, No. 210, High.

Baddeley and Gordon attended to watch the else on behalf
of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire.
Some further evidence was taken, and the Coroner mid that
it appeared quite evident, from the evidence that had Weft
adduced, and also from what sonic of the jurors had wit-
named, that the police and earspemen had done all they
possibly could upon the occasion. The jury returned a
verdict that the two children met their deaths from suffers-
tiogand burning, but how the Are occurred there was not
sufficient evidence to prove. The jury ales returned • vote
of thanks to the esespemen end police far the meaner they
had exerted themselves in trying to are life and extin-
guish the fire.

THE IMPEROR OF AUSTIILt F. DAT.

This was au ex parte applicatioe for an injunction to re-
strain the defendants, William Day, John Day.. and Joseph
Day, their servants and workmen, from printing, litho-
graphing, or manufacturing any documents purporting to
be notes of the Hungarian state or ruttier', or notes with the
royal arms of Magary printed thereon, and from delivering
the plates which have been pi clamed, or any documents
printed or lithographed therefrom, or any documents pur-
porting to be such notes with the royal arms of Hungary
printed thereon, to Louis Kossuth. who was one of the de-
fendants. The application was made nu the affidavit of the
Austrian ambassador, in which it was stated that the Em-
peror of Austria bad, as King of Hungary, the sole and ex-
clusive privilege of issuing or authorising the issue of notes
for the payment of money to be circulated in Hungary', and '
that lie had also the sole and exclusive b rivilege of autho-
rising the royal arms of Hungary to be affixed to such notes,
that a very large portion or nearly the whole of the
money now circulating in Hungary consisted of notes
of the National Hank of Austria issued by the authority of
the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, and that '
such notes were for sums of one florin and upwards. The
affidavit also stated that Messrs. Day and Sons, who are
lithographers in London, had prepared plates for the pur-
pose of printing or lithographing documents purporting to
be notes of the Hungarian nation for circulation as wok
notes in Hungery, and stated that it was believed that
Messrs. Day and Sons had been acting under the directions
of Louis Kossuth. The affidavit further stated that one of
the spurious notes so printed or lithogniphel, and which
bad been obtained I.y the Austrian amlniasedor, was in the I
Hungarian language, bearing the royal arms of Hungary,
and purporting to represent one Burin, and contaiatal an I
inscription in the Hungarian language to the following
effect :—" One florin. This monetary note will be received
in every Hungarian state eel public pay-office as one florin
in silver, three zwanziger being ono florin, and its whole
nominal value is guaranteed by the state in the'
name of the melee. Keough, Louis." That most of the
notes manufactured by Messrs. Day and Sons represented
one florin, but that some represented other sums. The de-
ponent also stated that the amount of the notes manufac-
tured by Messrs. Day would, he believed, exceed
100,000,000 florins, that Messrs. Day had nearly completed
the notes, and intended shortly to deliver them to Louis
Kossuth, for the purpose, as wan believed, of sending the
same to Hungary without the authority of the Emperor of
Austria, and selling them in that country ; and that, in
that manner, the same notes would get into circulation in
Hungary.
Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., and Mr. Cotton, in support of the
application, stated that the Austrian ambassador received
information, for the first time, on the 3rd of February
instant, that Meier,. Day were manufacturing the spurious
notes in question ; that application wan then male to the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, requesting the go-
vernment to interfere with each manufacture; and that on
the Zdrd a communication was received from the

Yoreign.office, stating that her Majesty's government
could not interfere. That the Austrian amiessador there-
upon communicated with his government at Vienna, and on
the 26th instant received instructions to take such measures
in the name of the Emperor of Austria as might be flees,-
eery to prevent the manufacture and issue of such spurious
notes. Under these circumstances they applied for an in-
junction to the effect above stated.
The Vice-Chancellor granted en injunction until further
order, as prayed ; and entered that a copy of the bill should
be served on the defendants with the injunction.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Fas. 27.
SEOOND DOUBT.

Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.— (Before Mr. Justice
Blackburn and a Special ar►.)
WILKINSON V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—

ACCIDENT AT lETNG'S-CllO5B.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to ',corer
compensation for injuries reoei red through the alleged neg-
ligence of the defendants' servants.
Mr. Huddleeton and Mr. Henry Janes appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Honyman for the de-
fendants.

The plaintiff was the widow of a person who had been in
the service of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. In
May het she had occasion to go to Sheffield, and she re-
turned safely to the ticket platform at Kineacroes. From
this point the train started at great speed for the station,
and was precipitated into the public road.
The facts of the accident are so well known as not to re-
quire recapitulation. The plaintiff was picked up insensible,
and remained so until the following evening. Since that
time she had been unable to do anything towards maintain-
ing herself or her three children. She bad received very
severe internal injuries, and would never be able again to
work for her living. Upon coining into court she was ac-
commodated with a chair, and seemed to be in great pain.
After the plaintirs evidence and that of soother female,
Mr. Huddleston said the defendants had agreed to take a
verdict for the plaintiff, for 4001.
A verdict was accordingly taken for the plaintiff—da-
mages, 4001.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

IHDDLISHURBT AND STANDISH T. JOHNSON AND MIMS.

The testator, Mr. John Johnson, late a coal owner at
Aipull, near W' n, died on the 12th of May, DMA leaving
poperty worth about 30,000 f. He had bees married, but
his wife died in 1888 ; and after her decease he employed
his attorney, Mr. Crook, to prepare a will for him, dividing
his estate amongst the flfty-one nephew@ sod nieces of him.
self and wife, and his two illegitimate children. The
division was to be equal, except that his children were to
take each two shares, and one or two other variations. Be-
fore executing this instrument he had consulted the de-
fendant, his nephew, John Johnson, who assisted him in
by business, and also his spiritual director, the Rev. Mr.
Jones. Mr. Jones suggested to the defendlint that, as the
testator had no legitimate issue, it would be well to leave
a tithe of his property or • year's income to various Roman
catholic charities in which he was interested. The de-
fendant did not approve of the propene], and his uncle,
when it wee mentioned to him, showed some anger at it.
He nevertheless gave during his life-time a dona-
tion of 500/. to Mr. Jones's chapel and mission,
2001. to various chapels for masses, and 500/. to
various charities. It appears that he had leased
some canna coal from Lord Kingadown, and he was appre-
hensive that he should not live long enough to work the
vein out. He therefore agreed to execute a codicil or •
new will empowering his executors to carry on his Wainer /I
for five years, and to give the principal executor, Mr. Mid-
dlehurst, some remuneration for his trouble. Mr. Crook
bad, however, some misgivings as to whether, in the will of
1858, he had fully carried out the testator's intentions, and
he took the opportunity to mention the subject to him.
The result of the conference was that lie drew • new will,
in which he divided the property per stirpes instead of per
capita. This document, which was executed only three
days before the testator's death, was coutested on the
Mutthat it was not the will of the deceased, because he
er really uodersteed it. contents.
Mr. Sediment Pigott, Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks
appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Edward James, Q.C., Dr.
Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., for the de-
fendants.

The jury, without hesitation, found for the defendantei and
Sir C. ego:Newell pronounced against the will, observing
that ho should have been very much utonished if, after the
evidence, they had come to a different conclusion.

MUTINY ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.-
MURDER OP THE CAPTAIN.

A fearful tragedy was perpetrated on Monday
evening ,off Point Lynes on board the American ship
General Parkhill. Captain Tyke was murdered, and the
first mate so severely stabbed that his life is despaired of.
He now lies at the Northern Hospital, at Liverpool. The
General Parkhill riled from Liverpool for Charlestown co
Monday morning with a cargo of salt, and all went well
until about 8 o clock on Monday night, when the vessel
had got to the westward of Ormesheadi (the pilot who took
the drip out having left about 3 o'clock) ; at this time a
desperate quarrel are cc to turning out the second mate's
watch. The dispute speedily ripened into an open mutiny
and knives were used with such freedom and desperatioa
that the captain was almost instantaneously killed, he
having received a 'dab a little below the breast on
the left aide, which penetrated deep and must have
caused nearly immediate death ; lie lied also been
deeply stabbed in the neck. The first mate also was stabbed
in eight different places, and was so completely disabled as
to be incapable of doing anything to restore order or guide
the ship. ender these circumstances the second mate,
arming himself with two dads:smelled revolvers, took pos-
session of the wheel, and hoisting a signal of distress turned
the ship and proceeded towards LiverpooL The signal soon
attracting attention, the vessel was boarded by Pilot Owen,
of No. 2 boat, who being immediately furnished with two
revolvers, the ship, under his command, and that of the
second mate, was brought into port. The cue will be in-
vestigated at the police court to-day. The captain, who
was an American, has left a wife sod several children.
The mate is stated to be an Englishman. These particu-
lars we believe to he correct, but owing to the multitudi-
nous versions of the affair given, nothing can be vouched
for until to-day. Several of the seamen state that they
were very much abused by the captain.
