LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE LATE TRIAL FOR SEDUCTION AT THE ASSIZES.—
We understand that the defendant in the action for seduc-
tion, " Walker v. Entwistle," tried at the assizes on Friday
last, intends to move for a new trial on the ground that
the verdict was against evidence. It will be remembered
that the jury awarded the plaintiff £lOO damages.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Yesterday morning, a man, named
James Chaplin, a watchmaker, residing in Gordon-street,
Everton, fractured his right thigh, by falling from the top
of a.wall at the back of his lodgings. He was endeavour
ing to get into the house without disturbing the family when
the accident occurred.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE ON A SEAMAN.—Yesterday morning,
about half-past one o'clock, a coloured seaman, named Jas.
Williams, residing in George-street, was knocked down
close to his own door, by a man who came up to him, and,
without the slightest provocation, made the attack upon
him. The poor fellow, who received a frightful scalp
wound, was conveyed to the Northern` Hospital, where he
now lies iu a precarious position.
Boy RUN OVER.—As one of the Mill-street omnibusses
was passing aiong Park-lane on Saturday, it ran over a poor
boy, crossing the street, who, being a cripple, was unable to
get out of the way. We understand that his leg was broken,
and he was otherwise seriously, if not fatally, injured. This
thoroughfare is much too narrow for the traffic there is in
it; and until the arrangements for widening it, now in
progress, are completed, it will be difficult, without unusual
care, to avoid a recurrence of serious accidents.

A PEAL OF BELLS FOR ST. JAMES'S CHURCH, WEST
DERBY.—We have much pleasure in stating that a peal of
bells are at present being hung in the tower of St. James's
Church, Mill-lane, West Derby, and that in all probability
they will be heard for the first time on Sunday next.
They-are six in number, and have been cast by Messrs.
Marsden Brothers, of this town. The cost is between £5OO
and £6OO, the whole of which has been contributed by Mrs.
Thornton the lady who so munificently furnished funds for
the building of the church several years ago.
