just as the train was starting. As a rule, however, he be-
lieved one door was always left unlocked. With respect
to the bar across the window, he believed that was recom-
mended by the Board of Trade to prevent persons, on lines
where tunnels were numerous, from meeting with acci-
dents from looking out of the windows.
THE CHARITY COMMISSION.
Mr. FERRAND asked whether th© office of one of the
inspectori of the Charity Commissioners, lately held by
Mr. J. Simonds deceased, was about to be filled up.
Mr. BRUCE replied the Commissioners were unable to
dispense with the services of any of their staff. Mr. Good,
a barrister of 10 years standing had been appointed to the
vacant post, and he had no doubt he would very effi-
ciently fulfil its duties.
THE ANGLO-AUSTRIAN COMMISSION.
Mr. BAINES asked whether there was any truth in the
riunour that the Anglo- Anstrian Commission had entirely
failed ?

Mr. LAYARD said there was not the slightest truth in
the_ rumour; it was- altogether without fouudation. On
the contrary,, he believed the negotiations were very much
unproved. (Hear, hear.) The matter had been adjourned
for the two months that the resideut.: tti re might avail
themselves of recreation in' the country during the hot
Nye:lawn The commission would meet again in Septem-
ber, and he hoped with every prospect of success. (near,
hear.)

' . RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. .
Mr. D. GRIFFITH, recurring to the question answered
by the President of the 'Board of Trade, asked how it was
tllilt the door which was left unlo4:cd was invariably un-.
dermost- when an accident occurred ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said he believed it was always the
practice to leave the offside door open.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH should like to know why that door
was selected.. He thought some precaution ought to be
to remedy the calamity such accidents caused. He should
like to know if the hon. member Would take some steps in
the matter.

Mr. M. GIBSON told the hon. memb,,r that, as it was
impossible to ascertain on which sie.e.tho carriage would
fall'in case of accident (hear, hear, and laughter), could not
not given him a promise of interfering in the matter.

Central Criminal Court—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
THE CASE OF THE MESSRS. BARRY.

The charge of conspiracy against the Messrs. Barry, of
Meriton's-wharf, and Arnett, Thorne, and Sedgwick, three
of their employes, for conspiring to defraud, was resumed
this morning.
At tho conclusion of the case for the prosecution,
The counsel for the prisoners asked whether there was
sufficient evidence to go to the jury.
Mr. Baron Martin felt there was not.

Mr. Bovill and Mr. Gifford, for the prosecution, argued
at great length in favour of the case going to the jury.
They both pointed out the particular portions of the
evidence on which they relied.
Mr. Baron Martin said he was of opinion that the evi-
dence was insufficient to make out the charge against
the prisoners. No doubt it was a wrong act to do as
had been proved, but then every wrong act was not an
indictable one.
