31YSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE ON THE LONDON

AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Serjeirrit Payne, coroner for
the city of London and Southwark, held a long inquiry
at the Vestry Hall of St. Johu's, Horsleydo'n, relative
to the death of Mr. Henry Clayton, a
the son of the well-known printer and
nam(

al twenty-six,
Wisher of that

The case excited considerable interest, it being
rumoured that the deceased had met with his death
through unfair means, and the 'body afterwards placed
near the up line of the London and Brighten Railway.
John Smith deposed that he was an etnrrinpor in th.

service of the Leidon and Brighton Raill;ay
On 'Sunday morning last, about a quarter to five, he was
driving,a goods train on 'the up line, and 'when about a
mile from the Newe.ross-station he oWervecl the body of
a man lying near the rails. Witness Tin-weeded fn 'Vow-

cross, ana a poet engine was sen
purpose of fetching the, body.

doiVn t

ae lifie fert

Oeorme Cookson, night foremah at the Neweross-sta-
tion, stated that ke proceeded with an engine to the spot
menti o aed by Smith, and found the.l7.ody lying as cipAp.rih

7 j AaaF, <so uGat4lll-,i'll.
There was a eep wound on the right .jaw. Witness was of
opinion thatdeceasedhad been struck by the fire-box of au
engine. The bank -where the body was found was slOpirig.
There was no path along the bank, so that any person
walking there would be trespassing. The engines and
carriages used after dark on Saturday had been examined,
but there were no marks of blood upon them. The
drivers of the engines had beea questioned, and none
had,seen the, deceased.

Police:constable Samuel Elsbnry stated that he
searched the
.body and found 'only one halfpenny in
money, a photographic portrait of a young lady, a small
quantity of a female's hair, and the address of his
(deceased's) father written on a piece of paper.
M;. Arthur Clayton having identified the body as that
of his brother, deposed that he last saw him on Saturday
last, when he called at the printing-office in Bouverie-
street. Deceased had, up to a short time back; been the
manager of his father's business at Chatham, hut
latterly he had become of intemperate habits. On Satur-
day he was perfectly Sober, and 'witness gave him money
to obtain a bed with:

Mr. Higgins, a surgeon, proved that the cause of
deatla.was a dislocation of the neck. The right jaw was
also broken. His opinion was that the deceased was
knocked down by an engine and instantly killed.

The Coroner, In summing up, stated the -,jury were
in doubt upon the point of- how the deceased came upon
the line, they must ,return an open verdict ; but, afte4'
some 'consultation, a verdict was returned to the effect
that the deceased was accidentally killed.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.—In bad legs, ulcers, scrofulous
sores, and glandular swellings, this Ointment operates very
gently, but very surely, and with a rapidity that resembles
magic. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous
unguent have never been disputed by any one who has given
it a fair trial. It contains not a particle of any noxious sub-
stance, nor is there a case on record in which it has done the
slightest harm ' • while there are authentic reports of innumer-
able cures effected by it in all countries. It is as mild in its
action, as it is powerful and beneficial in its effect.
HERRING FISHING.—DUNBAR, AUGUST 29.—Con-
trary to expectation, the, fishing during last week has
been. very light. On
,Xonday the boats fishing to the
east returned nearly clean, while to the west good shots
'of from 20 to 40 trans were got, of :excellent quality,
which were sold at from 205.. to 225. per cran. Tues-
day the fishing was pretty general-,--the highest had 20
trans ; prices same as on Monday. A few .crans of
sprats were sold .at from 16s. to 1 is. per cran. Wed-
nesday the fishing Was light, a number of the boati
having returned clean ; prices, 21s: to 235. per cran.
Thursday's catch.waS also light; prices, 20s. to 235;
per Gran. In the evening a storm from the north-east
arose after the boats had left the harbour, which.causel
most of them to return without shooting their nets. A
few boats that brayed the danger , returned on Friday
morning with some herrings, one boat having ten
barrels ; price 335. per cram The storm still continu-
ing, none of the boats left their moorings in the even-
ing, and consequently there was no market on Saturday
morning. The weather having improved, and the tides
being in better order, it is expected that there will be a
good fishing during this week.

NEW PitooMS' FOR WATERING, STREETS.---A curious
experiment is now, being tried at Lyons for laying the
dust in public prOmenades, and has so far been attended
with success. A chemist of that City having acciden-
tally spilt some hydrochloric acid on a terrace of his,
found that it hardened the spot on which it hid fallen,
and maintained it in a state of permanent moisture.
This led him to think that by watering the streets
with this acid, the dust on large macadamised roads
might be laid, or rather' prevented from rising. Ex-
periments were first made on the Cours Napoleon, be-
tween the Rhone and the- Perrache-station. The success
was complete, and has also proved durable, the carriage

way having now been several months - free from dus,
and another experiment is now being made on the Place
Bellecour. During the hottest part of the day, the
ground, althongh dry and gravelly, has the appearance
of being as consistent and damp as if it had been watered
half an 'hour before. But as evening approaches the
moisture becomes more and more perce-t tible. Every
morning the ground is stiffer, and more comfortable- to
walk on. This may be easily accounted for; the acid,
decomposing the gravel or stone, forms one or several
deliquescent salts, which therefore attract the moisture
of the air.

EXTRAORDINARY CONSPIRACY TO OBTAIN A DIVORCE.
—A man, named Durand, went on Monday to the shop
of a butcher, in the Route d'ltalie, at Maison Blanche,
and the moment he entered, the butcher's wife, without
saying a word, stabbed him in the abdomen with a large
knife. He was taken to the hospital, but the wound is
so serious that he is considered likely to die, and the
woman has been arrested. On inquiry,' the explana-
tion of the strange affair turned out to be thus :—The
woman's husband was anxious to obtain legal separa-
tion from her, and he consulted what is called an,
honune d'affaires as to the means of realising his objeCt
That person advised him to accuse her of adultery,
and he consented. They then went to Durand, who
had formerly been in the butcher's service, and offered
him money to sign a deposition to the effect that he
knew the woman had committed adultery with one o—.
The man, however, having no reason to cast such an
imputation on her, positively refused.. On Sunday, the
homme d'affaires went to him, and again pressed him,
in return for money, to sign the false declaration ; but
he again positively refused. The other then forged his
signature to the document, and gave the latter to the
butcher. At night the butcher picked a quarrel with
his wife, accused her of adultery, and said that he had
proof of ber guilt in his pocket, and it was with the
greatest indignation that she perused the document.
The next morning, Dtirand thought right to call on his
former mistress to tell her of the plot that existed
against her ; but, before he could speak, she stabbed
him as described. The woman's husband and the
homme d'affaires have been arrested.--Galigitani.

MORE AMERICAN •13111.ITALITIES.—It appears that
American atrocities are becoming anything but rare
occurrences in our harbour. On Monday the sitting
magistrates at the South Shields Police-court were
engaged in investigating, a charge involving the greatest
brutality and savageness against a rough, strong-
built looking man, named John M'Avory, a native
of Bath, New York, and one of the seamen of the
barque Chevalier, a Portland, Maine, United States,
but now lying anchored in Jarrow Docks. The facts
of the case are shortly these. On • Sunday " after-
noon, as the complainant, James Farrell, a storekeeper
at the docks, who appeared in court with his head
bound up in bandages, was standing near to .one of the
jetties, the prisoner came up to him Sand asked him to
go and partake of some drink, which offer was declined.
As the prisoner was walking away, he was seen to pick up
two half bricks, and was heard at the same time tn Any

••• 411110 w airy,
" I'll kill him." The prisoner then went into a pitman's
house, and after staying therein a short time, returned a
second time to complainant, who was standing still at the
same place, and pressed him to go on board the Chevalier
to have a glass of grog and some supper. After a deal of
persuasion Farrell, unluckily for himself, yielded and
went on board; but he had only been there a few
minutes before the prisoner, who had only previously
gone below deck and changed part of his clothing, came
'and struck him a blow nn the month enmnininnnt_

on asking the prisoner what he had done to deserve
sach treatment, was again savagely pounced upon, and,
to use the words of one of the witnesses, was knocked
down " like a bullock." The blow, which was
supposed to have been inflicted with some hard sub-
stance like a brick, caused three severe wounds on the
scalp, contused and penetrating to the bone. As 11PAvog
was escaping from the vessel, the brute said, "If you
do not go on shore, I'll kill you, and heave you over-
board." Colin Munro, a labourer at this docks, who was
an observer of the assault, as he was standing on mie of
the jetties, corroborated the above facts. The witness
likewise stated that Farrell had a narrow escape from
falling
into the tfihneaddo.icök
andas hennataw,asnr twomonths' jumping ashore, and
only saved himself by seizing hold of a rope. The de-
fendant impri-
sonment. The fine was paid by the captain, and the
defendant set at liberty,
