THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCI
DENT.—Yesterday afternoon a Jury was empannellcd
before Mr. Higgs, Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster,
at the Savoy Palace, Savoy-street, Strand, on the body of
James John Rogers, aged 16, the youth who, together
with his fellow apprentice, Henry John Hay, on whom a
Coroner's Inquest is still in progress, was run down by the
Starlight iron steam-boat, whilst rowing a wherry, oppo-
site Somerset House, on the evening of the 14th inst.
The Coroner and Jury having viewed the body, the
Coroner suggested an adjournment till this day, in order
that the proceedings relative to the death of Henry John
Hay might be terminated. A juror said he hoped, what-
ever course might be pursued with respect to the adjourn-
ment, that the proceedings would be conducted in a diffe-
rent manner, and that the disgraceful scenes resulting
from conflicting parties for and against the steam-boat
Company would be put a stop to, and something like com-
mon decency would be strictly enforced. Some evidence
having been taken, the inquiry was adjourned.
A correspondent complains that the Derby
tradesmen have no morning conveyance to London, as by
the present arrangements the train arrives in London at
six o'clock in the evening, which is too late for business.
—Derby Reporter,
On Monday night, as John Buckley, of Mid-
dleton by Wirksworth, was jumping over a wall with a
loaded gun under his smock fock, it went off, and the
contents were lodged in his neck and face. We hear his
life is despaired of.—Derby Reporter.
CHANGE IN Ma. STEPHENS'S PLACE OF
IMPRISONMENT.—It will be recollected that on Thursday
last Mr. Justice Patteson sentenced Joseph Rayner Ste-
phens to eighteen months' imprisonment in the House of
Correction at Knutsford. We understand that on the
following morning (Friday last) Mr. John Law, the
confinementtthe
tterm
rm of impri-
defendant's attorney, waited upon the Learned Judge,miedghtbe
changed, it h
at his lodgings, before the opening of the Court, and made
an applicatio_ne.ntghattlstuhaei
in
plasc
tie
c fiscases fur
sonment to be undergone in the gaol of the county, We
understand that Mr. Justice Patteson said that his reason
for sentencing the defendant to imprisonment in Knutsford
Gaol, was that ho supposed that it was the ordinary place
of confinement for debtors in the county of Chester. M
Law stated that that was not the case, the debtors being
confined in the Gaol of the Castle of Chester. A t_
rTh„ A
';'7osecutioo, had ex-
'air. Stephens any unnerzessary
torney- General, on the part of the
prcssed no to inflict on
inconvenience or eggravtttion of punishment, His Lord-
ship said that under these circumstances he would alter
the sentence ; and accordingly, when he reached the Court,
the sentence was altered, so far as regards the place of con-
finement, and the defendant is now undergoing his sentence
of imprisonment in her Majesty's Gaol of the Castle of
Chester.—Manchester Guardian.
BANNS FORBIDDEN.—The banns of a young
couple were forbidden in the parish church of St. John,
Devizes, on Sunday last, on their being published for the
first time. A similar circumstance has nrver before
occurred within recollection in this church. The ground of
objection to the marriage, we understand; is, that the youth
is under age, and an apprentice. —Devizes Gazette.
