Sitt,—My clients, the proprietors of this market,
are much surprised to see an account in your paper of the
21st inst. repotting the bankruptcy of "In re Shaken,"
that the failure of the bankrupt was " ascribed to liabi-
lities incurred by him in connection with the new King's
Cross Market." The ouly connection the bankrupt had
with the market was as tenant for the udvertisiug apices,
and the only liability ho could incur through his tenancy
would not amount to lOW., and could be seen on inspec-
tion at the market. The proprietors beg to say that
otbetwire than as tenant, he had nothing to do with the
market, and trust you wilt do them the justice to insert
ibis letter.—l am, tc., T. .1. I'EACOCK,
Solicitor to the Proprietors.

724C41 IN 4 RAILWAY C4RJ1140.11.

At the Wandsworth Police-court yesterday, Mr.
Daniel De Castro, a solicitor, !residing at Mortlake, was
summoned by Mr. Thomas James Nelson, the City soli-
citor, for assaulting him while • in a first-class
carriage on the South Western way.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Nelson was sworn, sad he stated that on the 16th
inst. he returned home by the 6.14 tinin from Waterloo
btation, accompanied by his wife. They got into • com-
partment in • first-clam carriage, and seated themselves
opiomte to the platform, facing each other. The de-
fendant and another gentleman sat at the door, and the
window remained closed until the train arrived at Wands-
worth. At that station the gentleman who eat opposite
to the defendant let down the window to get
out of the carriage. The wind then blew into
the carriage, and ea witness's wife commenced
to cough he got up and closed it. The defendant
instantly put his hand on the top of the window and
said, "Not without my leave." Witness took hold
of the leather strap and remarked that he had
as much right to close the window as he had to open it.
The defendant became violent, forced him down on the
teat opposite to him, at the same time held up his stick in
front of him. and aid, " Now we shall see who will have
the window." Witnees's wife continued to cough, but
the defendant never offered to shut the window, though
she told him that she had a had cold. The witness
further said that they were both sitting facing the
engine. If the defendant had wished for the window to
be down, be should have put up with the inconvenience
of it. All be asked of the magistrate was an expression
of his views on the matter ; for he did not think it was
right that a gentleman riding in a public carriage should
resod to personal violence.
The defendant's answer to the complaint was that
although it was • wet night the weather was close and
unpleasant, and he required a little air. He here asked
the complainant whether he did not say part of the way,
when he shut the window.
To that question the complainant replied in the
negative.
The defendant said that was not the truth, for he pulled
the window up part of the way and had fastened the
leather to one of the holes in it. The complainant said he
would have it up all the way. He (the defendant) took
the strap and wrenched it out of his hand. The com-
plainant then sat down. To his surprise, when the train
reached Putney the complainant charged him with an
ass suit.
Mr. Selfe thought the complainant should have asked
the defendant whether he had any objection to put up the
window.

Mr. ilelson explained that he wu under the impression
that they all wished the window up, ►nd s►id th►t his
only desire was to save the defendant the trouble of shut-
ting it, as be was reading.
Mr. RA% said that on the other hand, as there was a
lady in the carriage, it would have been the wisest plan
for the defendant not to have taken any notice.
The defendant thought the error arose through the
complainant not explaining ►t the time what his motives
were.

Mr. Selfe then granted a cross summons to allow of the
defendant to be sworn. Ile said what he had stated was
true as far au his memory served him. When the com-
plainant pulled up the window be put his hand upon it,
and said, " Pardon me, not all the way.- Ile had no
recollevtion of taking his stick from behind him and put-
ting it in front of him. He we. lame, and usually had
his stick in front of him. Ile had no intention of com-
mitting any assault.
Mr. Salle said both parties were members of an honour-
able profession, and considering the position which Mr.
Nelson held in the City, he thought Mr. De Castro should
'Apnea his regret and apologise to Mrs. Nelson.
The defendant was much obliged to the magistrate for
making peace between them. Ile, however, claimed as
good a position ea the complainant, as he was • partner
an a firm of solicitors in the Temple, but if the magis-
trate thought he way rude because of the presence of a
lade, he was sorry for it. Ile did not make any apology
to Mr. Nelson, ashe considered that be insulted him.
. .

Mr. Self° said, after Mr. Nelion's statement that he
did not intend to be discourteous to him, he thought the
defendant ought to apologize to him. The defendant
most pay 25., the cost of the summons, and express regret,
as he thought he was wrong.
The defendant said, if the magistrate wished him to
apologise to the complainant he would do so.
The parties then withdrew.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE ON THE METRO-
-I'ULIT.4.Y RAILWAY.

Yesterday, Dr. Lankeater held an inquest at the
Braik of England Tavern on the body of James Howe, a
Fanner, aged 45, who committed suicide by jumping in
front of a train at the Edgware-road station of the
Metropolitan Partway, whilst it was entering the station.
11. e case was rendered somewhat remarkable from the
f:.et that the deceased, before dying of his injuries, re
es,
asserted that he was pushed down in the rush of
the crowd at the station, and fell between the carriages
and the platform, and just before ho expired, when re-
minded of his approaching death, he repeated his state-
ment, and said, '• It is true, so help me (led *." Angelina
Howe, the widow of the deceased, living at 4, Bromley-
road, Kensington, said she saw her husband at St. Mary's
Hospital on Wednesday, the 14th mat. lie told her
that he was at the Edgware-road station, when
a train came in and stomied. He put his hand
on the handle of one of the doors, when there
was a sudden rush of people, and he was carried off his
feet and thrown down between the carriages and the plat-
form. The person who knocked him down looked like a
working man. The Rev. Edward Jas. Bennett, of St.
Clenient's-house, Lancaster-road, Nutting-hill, said on
Wednesday. the 14th inst., at about 7 o'clock in the
reining, I was sitting on one of the seats at the Edgware-
road Station, waiting for the Nutting-hill train. I heard
the Hammersmith train called and saw it coming along.
The deceased, who was close to me, walked furward,
threw up his anns, staggered, and then jumped off the
platform in front of the train. This was before the train
stopped. I would not swear be did not fall in front of
the train, but I am sure no one pushed
him down. William Clark, a station porter,
who was on the opposite or up platform to
that on which deceased was, said, I saw deceased
come acrees the platform and leap off in front of the
engine. There was no one near him, and it could not be
true that anyone pushed Lim off. This took place before
the train had pawed me. If he had bad huld of one of the
carriage door. 1 could not have Peen him, as the train
would have been between us. The widow of deceased,
recalled, said, in answer to the coroner, that deceased wag
nut a drunkard. was not seriously ill, and had never been
in a lunatic asylum, nor had any of his relations. Charles
Clammy, a buy who had charge of the weighing machine
kept on the up-platform, said -I saw the deceased walk
from a seat and spring off the platform on to the line,
between the narrow gauge metals. I dill not see a great
rush of people on the down-side. There was a lot of
people on my side to see the deceased gut out. The car-
riages had not stopped when he jumped. He jumped in
front of the engine. If he had been trying to get into the
carriages, I could not have sen him. Other witnesses gave
evidence to the same effect. Mr. Smith, the surgeon who
attended deceased at the hospital, described how com-
pletely smashed the leg and foot of the deceased was. It
had to be amputated directly. 'There were other injuries,
including the fracture of two rib.. Deceased gave the
same version of the affair to Lim as he did to his wife. Ile
died on the 20th inst. from the shock. The post-mortem
showed a very lad state of the body, and a softened state
of the brain. Deceameil did not appear to be drunk when
received into the hospital. The jury returned a verdict of
" Suicide whilst of unsound mind.- It was stated that
the widow and child' en would be deprived of the money
they would, under ordinary eircumstauees, have received
from the benefit society.

THE MrHIIER IN Sl'SSEX.—Yesterday morning
the magisterial examination of Martin Brown, the person
secured of the murder of David Bahley. on Friday. the
9th inst., was resumed at Lawns, before Messrs. Winfield,
Blenvowe, Godlee, and Mohnen:, county justices. Tire
prisoner is 22 years of age: for a labourer he looks un-
usually smart, intelligent, and somewhat cunning. but
has net the common repulsive countenance of a murderer.
He is known, however, to be au experienced criminal, •
notorious poacher and • deserter from the army. A large
number of witnesses were examined, whose evidence went
to show that on the night of Sunday, the nth October, the
deceased started on his way home with 21. Ile. in his pos-
session, and on the following morning ho was found lying
dead, and minus his money, at a distance of less than
WO yards from his own cottage, in which his wife and
family had been all night, apparently not much surprised
at his absence, though he was an unusually steady man.
The evidence against Brown was that on the night of the
murder be left his lodgings with • gun which he never
brought home, but which has since been found near the
scene of the murder ; that bullets were found in his box
corresponding to those with which his victim had been
shot; that ho made various statements as to
his conduct, anti as to the disposal of the gun,
which have been proved to he false; and that, finally, lie
absconded. Among the things found in his box were a
six-barrelled revolver, a life-preserver, a quantity of
bullets and powder, poaching tackle, blood-stained paper
and clothes, and a :laugh drawing representing a man
shooting another man through the back —the very thing
he is accused of. In consequence of the youth and Ills•
telligenee of the prisoner the case excites great interest,
and not the least painful circumstance connected with the
examination yestenley was the fact that the brother of
the prisoner was calkd as a witness against him. The re-
sult of the case was that the prisoner was committed for
trial at the next mires. _
