under the 11th section of the 24th and 25th po2nsostnhhrlee,lmd at i
eatn. ,
remand
charged
rpierodt,
with assaulting with a clasp knife and wounding with in-
tent to murder James Worland and Peter I".,l"‘L.?an in a rail-
way carriage on the London and North-Western Railway,
between Ble ehley and London, on the night of Friday, the
17th July, 1863.
It will be remembered that the prisoner was charged on
the last occasion under the 20th section of the act with
having unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily
harm, the punishment under which was, as e misdemeanour,
three years' penal servitude. On mature consideration Mr,
Powell, the clerk to the magistrates, considered it advisable
to alter the charge to that made in the 11th section, which
made the offence committed a felony, and the penalty penal
servitude for ten years.
The magistrates present were Mr. J. C. Maule (chair-
man), the Rev. J. Tarver, the Rev. C. S. Lowndes, and
Mr. R. W. Selby Lowndes.
Mr. Charles J. Rawlinge, solicitor, attended on behalf of
Messrs. M'Lean and Worland; Mr. Jones appeared, as on
the former occasion, for the prisoner, who was brcvght
up as before by Mr. Superintendent Thomas Breary, from
Fenny Stratford, where he has been since the remand on
Wednesday week.
Mr. Rawlings said he appeared before the bench to pro-
secute the charge against the prisoner inthedock, instructed
by Mr. Peter M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. as it was
understood that the railway authcrities did not intend to in-
terfere in any way or take any steps whatever in the matter,
holding it as not being an affair in which the company was
concerned.
Mr. Peter M'Lean, examined by. Mr. Rawlings, said—l

After having visited with ;him Halifax, 31zui0lester, and

The deficit 'my o Hotel accomm)dation In ,India„China,

in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subjectot

railivey,s,,,which has been in rapid progress .nnw,. for some
years, must Impe.rfectiv fulfil all i s important objects; so far

this want is adequately supplied. ' ►
In England, and on tilt' ‘; ntinent of Ettropt, it is now.an
atoe,tained fact that the joint-stock system may most sue=
cesoifully be appl ed to the establishment of Hotels or the
first class. If this be- so where-gond private Hotels before
e*ieted in. large numbers, there -seems no- reason to doqbt

I made a step tdSv'ards the end of the carriage wheretthepri
saner was then sitting. He rope up exclaiming, " Advance,
fut ther and I',ll murder you," at the samemoment brandish-
ing a knife, and making a plu'nge at me with h'ls left hand:
He missed me, but immediately, afterwards. stabbed &Ir.;
Worland on,the forehead. I think I had hpld of the:pri-
soner when he made the plunge at Mr. Worland. (The
knife was prdduced by Orpen, the railway policeman. It:'
was an ordinary double-bladed pocket-knife, the large blade'
of which was the one with which the injuries were inflicted.)
I had hold of the prisoner by the arra, but he kept " job-
bing" at Mr. Worland, as I could only lay hold-of his
sleeve, and he had almost the free use of his wrist. As the•
prisoner was making the attempt to stab me first, I said—
" good God, men, what are you going to do'with thi3
knife ?" While I had hold of the'knife the prisoner cut my
right hand' very severely. We /got ,hiro down, on the floor
of the carriage. Mr. Worland was too faint to give me much
assistance ; but he said, " I shall sink under this. You stick
to him, tlac." After struggling for nearly' half an hour,
we got' him on the floor, and I held him till we gpt
to-.Canadew road station, where Orpen, the railway police-
man, took the knife from him. While were were struggling
nhe sliouted out several times " Jesus will fight for rte,"
"Murder," "Help," and we all 'shouted and screamed in,
the hope of attracting attention, but without avail. The
prisoner was removed, and the knife taken from him. The'
Ifloer'of the carriage and the back df the compartment 'were'
catered with blood. There Was more than enough blood to
till a hat. Mr. Worland fainted from exhaustion, and was,
taken to the Royal George Hotel,t T
uston-square. "Theta'
since been attended by Dr. Bain. ' ' '
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. jonero who put
numerous questions, with a view. to spow_ that the conduct
of Mr. Worland and the witness might have led the prisoner
to:think that they intended' re=do' something towards 14w,
but MT. trl 'Lean, with some vehemence,,i3ard, after replying
in the negative to many interrogatories:''` Pray, sir,'do not
agitate me further with suchutter nonsense,'land the Bench
inlet:losing, the zross-examination. stopped-,
Mr. Jas. Worland, examined by Mr. Rawlings, confirmed
the evidence of Mr. I\l'Lean, and 'stated in adeiticn that
after the prisoner stabbed him he (Mr.Worlanct) kicked the
prisoner, to overcome him if possible. The witness fell on
tli.e platform, after getting out of the carriage, being weak
from loss of blood.
Mrs. Maria Eaton, examined by Mr. Rawlings, said tha!
Las 78 years of age, and lived at 31, Herbert-street,
mit64 She kft Liverpool on, the 17th inst. in the same
carriage with the-hist two 'witnesses. She had a small dog
with her. She saw three gentlemen in the carriage, and
after the train passed Bletchley she suddenly looked up,
being aroused by a noise, and saw the three struggling
violently. The prisoner Lyons had a knife in his hands.
She said, "For God's sake, what's the matter? Give me
that knife." The prisoner atruck Mr. Worland on the
temple, and afterwards made several attempts to stab both
the others, exclaiming, as if invoking, " Jesus, Jesus I "
but what else he said she could not hear. She partialty
fainted, and when recovered she found they had got the
prisoner down, and she bound up Mr. Worland's forehead
with three handkerchiefs and her apron. She wanted to
get the knife away from the prisoner, and if she had got it
she would have thrown it away at once. She would have
thrown herself out of the carriage to escape.
John Orpen, the railway company's constable, examined
by Mr. Rawlings, stated that he received the prisoner into
his custody, charged with attempting to murder Mr. Peter
M'Lean and Mr. James Worland. The prisoner said that
what he had done was in self-defence, for he thought the
two gentlemen in the carriage were going to make an attack
upon his life.
Dr. William Bain, of Poplar deposed to the character of
the wounds inflicted upon Mr. Worland, and that there was
great danger for three or four days. He also attended Mr.
M'Lean for the wounds on his hand, which might have been
very dangerous.
Inspector Cox produced the following letters, which he
had received upon the subject-matter of the charge :
" July 20.
" Sir,—Seeing an account in to-day's paper of an assault
committed by a schoolmaster named Lyons recalls to my
recollection a man of that name who was usher at the school
I was at some 12 years ago. His actions then were so pe-
culiar he was generally considered mad, and was dismissed
for an assault on a boy who he fancied was speaking of him.
The man I refer to is tall and thin, given to speak to him-
self, and in the habit of uttering incoherent words.

culties, hie untiring industry and ingenuity have fur-
nished him with opportunities for scientific purposes,
the construction of which at once prove him to be
no ordinary man, and yet withal I have invariably found him
most modest, unassuming, and gentle. Possessed of qualities
of head and heart calculated to fit him for a higher position
in life than that of a national schoolmaster, he was recom-
mended to raise his social status by the acquisition of a degree
in science,and having been assisted in a pecuniary way he left
Dundalk for London on the evening of the 16th with the
intention of presenting himself at an examination at Bur-
lington House, to be held the following week. I saw him a
few hours before ha left home. His strength was severely
taxed by physical exertion under an unusually hot season,
and he mentioned to me that he had lost his rest at night
through the strain upon his mind. If we add to this a very

possible possible to rescue the crew, owing to the fearful sea,
which ran so high as to break over the vessel's

frantic with despair. The crew of the pilot-boat,
however, determined not to leave them, and stood
off and on all night until the weather bad some-
what moderated, when they succeeded with great,
difficulty in snatching the six men from an inevita-

tution bad put off with tb e view of rendering assist-
ance to the French lugger, Jean P. Baptist, which,
during very foggy weather, had struck on a dan-
gerous sandbank in that bay on the night of the
22d inst. ; fortunately, however, the vessel suc-
ceeded in getting off from ber dangerous position,
and afterwards proceeded on her voyage. The
expense of this service, amounting to £5 45., was
paid by the institution. Various other rewards were
also voted to the crews of some of the lifeboats of
the institution, and to those of shoreboats for either
rescuing shipwrecked crews or putting off with that
view. It was reported that the lifeboats of the in-
stitution had, during the seven months of the present
year, saved 123 shipwrecked persons, in addition to
assisting several vessels into port. The crews of
shoreboats to whom the institution voted pecuniary-
rewards had also saved 216 lives, making altogether
a total of 339 lives saved daring the present year.
For these joint services £648 18s. 2d. had been
granted by the institution. It has also, during the
same period, paid the sum of £7,055 9s.

various lifeboat establishments. The committee
earn appeal to the public for continued support
to enableestly
them to maintain the large fleet of life-
boats of the institution, now numbering 125, in a
state of efficiency. It was also reported that Mr.
R. W. Hollon and Mrs. Hollon, of Spellow Park,
bad presented to the institution the cost of a new
lifeboat, to be stationed at Filey, on the Yorkshire
coast. The institution bad recently sent three new
lifeboats to the coast, one to be stationed at Tenby,
another at Lytham, Lancashire, and the third at
Bude Haven, Cornwall. The cost of these lifeboats
tied been presented to the society by benevolent
persons, and the several railway companies bad
given the boats a free conveyance over their lines to
their respective destinations' Messrs. Forrestt re-
ported that the Government of Mecklenburg bad
ordered them to build a lifeboat on the plan of the
institution. The trustees of the late Mrs. Adams,
widow of the late Mr. Adams, naval and military
outfitter, Plymouth, had kindly remitted contribu-
tions amounting to £lOO to the institution. Pa'
ments, amounting to £2,850, having been made on
various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings ter-
minated.

TREASURE TROVE I.—A lucky " find" is thus re-
corded in the recently published " Life of Caxton,"
written by William Blades :—ln the summer of 1858, I
embraced an opportunity of inspecting the old library in the
Grammar School attached to the Abbey of St. Alban's. I
found a few valuable books, all contained (and I believe are
at the present time) in an old deal cupboard, upon which
the leakage from the roof had dripped apparently for years.
It must have been long since any one had touched a book
there, and the amount of dust and decay was certainly
enough to deter even a bibliomaniac from so doing. After
ext mining a few interesting books. I pulled out one which
was lying flat upon the top of others. It was in a most de-
plorable state, covered thickly with a damp, sticky duet,
and with a considerable portion of the back rotted away by
wet. The white decay fell in lumps on the floor as the un-
appreciated volume was opened. It proved to be Geoffrey
Chaucer's English translation of " Boecius de Consolations
Philosophise," printed by Caxton, in the original binding,
as issued from Caxton's workshop, and uncut ! ! On ex-
amining the amount of damage it had sustainded,
als I found
that the wet, which bad injured the book, hao, by
separating the layers of paper of which the coverseral were
composed, revealed the interesting fact that sev g-
fra
ments, on which Caxton's types appeared, hid been used in
their manufacture. After vexatious opposition and repeated
delays the acting trustees were induced to allow the book,.
prized highly, to be deposited in the care
which they now
of Mr. J. Winter Jones, of the British Museum, for the
purpose of rebinding. On dissecting the covers they were
found to be composed entirely of waste sheets from Caxton's
two or three being printed on one only. The two
press,
covers yielded no less than fifty-six half-sheets of pz-inted.
paper, proving the existence of three uorks from CiTixtclvs
press quite unknown before.
