ATOLROXLE, ThEiDAT NUM.—The preliminary inquiry
into the charges of criminal negligence preferred against
the railway company's servants was brought to a close
this day, and further proceedings will now be suspeaded
until the next amazes for the county of Denbigh. Mr.
Louis, solicitor, of Ruthin, assisted by Mr. Davies, Holy-
well, defended the breaksmen ; Mr. Preston, solicitor,
Rhyl, watched the case on behalf of the London and North-
Western Railway. _ The bench, after consultation. de-
clared that they had determined to commit the accused to
take their trial at the assizes for manslaughter, but they
were willing to accept bail to a reasonable amount.
The breakamem, Richard Williams and Robert Jon."
were accordingly bound over, themselves in 100/. and two
sureties in 601. each. The charges against the breaks-
men's solicitor, Mr. Davies, of Holywell, which caused no
little local intieest and excitement, was next gone into
and dismissed. The dismissal of the charge against the
defendant was received with applause in court, anti when
it was known outside a cheer was set up, which was re-
newed when Mr. Davies left the Town-ball and was seen
by the crowd. We (nines) ate informed that the valuable
diamond ring found in the d.'bris after the accident, sup-
posed to belong to Lord Farnham, anti which was for-
wanted to Hunt and &rata for examination, is proved
by the most satisfactory evidence to have been wore by
the lamented Ladp Chinnery. It has accordingly been
handed to Mrs. Chinnery, her legal representative.
