FALL Or A CRANE AT CHESTER —Two MEN KILLED.—
On WrdneAay, a travelling crane, in the quarry leased by
Mr. John Rob,rts, fell from its tramway (nearly sixty feet
above the deepest part of the quarry) with a stone of about
30 cwt. suspended, and in its fall killed two men named
Ralph Littler end Evan Lee. A third, named Charles
Shaw, was alsa hurt. It appears that the crane fell from
the giving way of two of the tramway balks. At the
inquest on Monday, Mr. G. A Bell, civil engineer, described
the co-Istreton of the frame work, his conclusion Mug
that the timber was very good, but the arrangement of the
parts faulty. The jury found a verdict of "Accidental
den h," expressing their opinion that no blame could be
attached to any one connected with the works.

aetused of having attacked the religion of the state. By
the trilevenal of that pace, they were condemned to fine

advocate for the defence, after protesting against the
illegal course of ,proceedings, indignantly threw off his
gown and left the court. The evangelists felt it thcie
duty to refer their case to the Court of. Appeal, and the
second trial has just taken pace at Casale. It was pre-
determined by the prosecuting party that the iniquitous
sentence of Alessandria should be confirmed ; and to th's
erd, the evidence given at the former trial, when read at
the second trial, was found to steed, with such alterations
and additiOhs as might allow sentence to be passed upon
the intaccent victims, accordiug to the wishes of their
enemies. Their advocate again protested, but to no par-
pose, and Mazarella, in asserting his own right fo speak,

CHARGE OF POACHING AT CHESTERFIFLP.-0a Saturday,
George Higginbotham, Joseph Lowe, and James Lowe,
were charged with trespassing in pursuit of game, on the
22nd November, at Woodthorpe, on land in the occupa-
tion of Joseph Gill, and the property of the executors of
the late Sir Henry Hunloke, Bart. A keeper, named
Hartley, stated that be was employed in Stocksmoor-lane,
on the 22nd inst., when he heard a report of a gun; He
crossed the lane, and walked down one side of the field,
When he got down the field, he met the three defendants
oa the contrary side of the hedge, and caught hold of the
defendant Higginbotham, who was the last man of the
three. Witness told him that he had caught him ; but he
had no gun on him. He told him he thought he was goad
enough to catch, and that he knew his name. He then
turned round, and ran after the others, and they got out of
the field into Stocksmoor-lane. Thoy had got 60 or 70
yards off the lane before he overtook them. He told
James Lowe that he had a gun in his pocket. Lowe said
ho had not. Lowe couched down under the hedge, when
the end of a gun barrel projected out of his right pocket.
He had known "owe before. By the Bench : There was
no footpath in the field. As soon as he laid hold of Hig-
ginbotham, the rest ran away from him. There was no
evidence called to corroborate that of the keeper. The
defendant Higgiebotham positively denied having any
gun. He said he was merely crossing the field of his
father-in-law, when the keeper laid hold of him. Lowe
said he did not go off the road. There was two other
persons on the road, and the keeper might have mistaken
them for the defendants. The defendant Lowe proposed
