that it was only for pastime." Mr. B— having denied
this statement, Miss A— said, " I never told a lie in my

BOILER EXPLOSION AT THE MILLPIELDS FULINACES, NEAR
WOLYERHAMPTON.—TE e Birmingham Journal gives the
following account of this accident :—" A blast furnace at
the ironworks of Messrs. Riley, at Millfields, near Bilston,
suddenly, and from causes as yet unascertained, exploded
this (Tuesday) afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, forcing
out the surrounding brickwork, and scattering the burning
scoria throughout the casting house, in which at the time
were employed two men and a boy, who were literally burnt
to cinders, and whose bodies are now lying at au adjacent
public-house, awaiting a coroner's inquest. Their names
were, Thomas Davis, 25, moulder; Samuel Thomas, 26
moulder; and Thomas Fletcher, a lad nine years of age,
employed in the same capacity. The following were imme-
diately removed to the South Staffordshire Hospital,
Wolverhampton : —John Marr, aged 35, Griffiths Buildings,
Bilston; Henry Taft, 38, Gibbet-lane, near Bilston;
Patrick Purtell, 26, Bilston ; William Rigby, 34, Gibbet-
lane, near Bilston; and James Corbett, 46, Bilston. The
house surgeon, S. B. Farr, Esq., states that the first four
named are extensively burned all over the body ; that John
Mart. and Henry Taft are burned to that extent as to leave
their recovery hopeless. James Corbett, who escaped with
the fewest injuries, has since been removed to his family.
John Mortboy, 40, Ettingsall, was also removed to the
hospital last evening, badly burned." Further particulars
inform us that John Farr, one of the men
injured at the frightful blast furnance explosion
at Messrs. Riley and Son's works, Millfields, near
Bilston, on Tuesday afternoon last, expired in
the South Staffordshire hospital yesterday morn-
ing. There are others at the hospital whose recovery is
hopeless.
Two first.class London thieves have just been brought
to justice through the instrumentality of the Derby
police. In the afternoon of Friday Mrs. Gerram, of
Lockington, had her pocket picked of a purse containing
about les., whilst in the shop of Mrs. Percival; confec-
tioner, St. Peter's-street. The robbery was effected very
adroitly by, as was supposed, a well-dressed young man,
who was in the shop at the time, and a description being
given of him, he was apprehended shortly afterwards by
police constable Davis, and committed for the full term
of three months and haVd labour for being in the shop for
an unlawful purpose. The prisoner gave his name
William James Anderson, of Nottingham, aged 19, and
represented his father to be a lace manufacturer in that
town. Whilst Anderson was in trouble, another showily-
dressed gentleman took such an evident interest in him as
to excite the suspicions of the police. Mr. Radfey, the
superintendent, ordered him away from the police station,
and as he hesitated to go, Mr. Radley directed Inspector
Fearn to apprehend him. He gave his name Thomas
Cross, aged about 27, and was well—we may even say
elegantly—attired. Upon him were found a splendid gold
Geneva lever watch, a gold guard chain and seals, a
sovereign, half a sovereign, an American coin forming a
breast pin, &c. ; on his finger he wore a beautiful enamelled
ring set with pearl, and his pocket book contained a
number of love lettere, in which a fair damsel at HaMMer.
smith breathed forth her undying attachment for her
dear Tom,' and a bill for about 303, which he had run
up at Starkey's Hotel, near the railway
station, Notting-
ham. Whilst prosecuting enquiries at the Nottingham
station, Mr. Radley was informed that Mrs. Booth
Denison, wife of a surgeon of that name at Nottingham,_
had had her pocket picked on the previous Thursday,
whilst travelling in a second class carriage between
Derby and Nottingham. and from the description given of
the thief, he felt certain that Cross was " the party:,
It appears that Mrs. Eddison and 'her sisters (members
of the Society of Friend') took tickets at Derby.
Anderson and Croas'were already seated in the carriaee,
and there not being room for all, Cross requested
Anderson to get out, and the latter politely acquiesced.
On the journey Mrs. Edd;son, who was wearing a
cloak with very wide sleeves, felt Cross touch her pocket,
she being seated next to him. Shortly after this she
tecame drowsy, and the " wide awake" Cross no doubt
effected his purpose at this time, but the theft was com-
mitted so cleverly as to cause it to pass unnoticed by any
pas3engers. On the arrival of the train at Notting-
ham, although seated on the opposite"side of the
t:un th.e
arrival platform, hurried past the ladies, nearly knocking
t wu ever in his anxiety to be first out of the carriage, and
a remark was made upon the singular abruptness of the
gen'lornan. Mrs. Eidison again felt at her pocket,
and :found that a large hole had been cut in it,
and that her purse and money, amounting to about
lOs had been abstracted. On Monday, Cross was taken
before Dr. Bent. He was positively identified by Mrs.
Edelison and her sisters, and committed for three months
with hard labour. Anderson was seen by the ladies at
the gaol, and was
picked out immediately (trona amongst
a number of prisoners) as beim; confederate. Two are
evidently thieves of mark. Several ladies had their
pockets picked in Derby on Friday, in one instance the
loss being a .4'5 note, and suspicion of course points to the
two thieves who have been so cleverly detected.
