CRUELTY TO HORSES.—Mr. Samuel Rogers, carrier, of
Cresswell-crescent, Sydenbam, was summoned before Mr.
Knox this morning, for working a horse totally unfit for
use, the summons being taken out at the instance of Mr.
Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
The defendant's carman was first charged, but Mr. Knox
ordered a summons to be made out at once and served on
the master, who was in Court, and discharged the carman.
John Jenkins, one of the officers of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Pall-mall,
proved seeing the defendant's carman driving the horse,
attached to a carrier's cart, which was fully laden, in Ox-
ford-street, the previous afternoon, and observing that the
poor animal was lame and very weak, he examined it, and
found that it was badly spavined, and had a sore as large
as the palm of the hand on one of its shoulders, and another
large sore under the collar. The horse was in a lamentable
state, appeared to have been severely flogged, and was alto-
gether totally unfit for work.

Mr. Knox, after viewing the horse, said he should inflict
a fine of .C 5 on the defendant, but if he at once handed the
horse ever to the society's officer to be slaughtered, and
paid the greenyard fees, he would only fine him 10s. and
costs.

WESTMINSTER.
DARING PLUNDER BY WOMEN.—Mary Ann Ander-
son, a young and respectably-attired woman, was placed at
the bar, charged with being concerned with another woman,
not in custody, of robbing Mr. Belling, a gentleman resi-
ding in Abingdon-street, Westminster.
Prosecutor said—At half-past 12 last night, this woman
and another in her company robbed me of my watch in
Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place. As I was palming Tat-
tersall's-yard, in Grosvenor-place, they spoke to me, and I
told them I did not wish to have anything to say to them ;
but I had not proceeded many yards down Grosvenor-
place when they followed me, and each taking one of my
arms pulled me ten or a dozen yards down Chapel-street.
They then got round me and I immediately missed my
watch. I accused the other woman, who made off pretty
quickly, and I detained the prisoner.
Mr. Paynter—ls the watch found ?
Policeman—No, it is not ; but the ring was picked up on
the pavement near where the robbery was committed.
Mr. Paynter—How long before had you seen your watch
safe ?

Prosecutor—The very moment before they accosted me
I looked at the clock at the entrance of the Park, and com-
pared my watch with it as I passed.
Mr. Paynter—ls the other woman known ?
.... ..

Policeman—l did not see her at all, and have only had a
description of her given by the prosecutor.

Mr. Paynter (to prQsecutor)—i suppose you never saw
either of them before last night ?

Prosecutor Never.

Prisoner was remanded for a week.

THAMES.

STRANGE CASE.—Henry Pearcy, a tall young man, who
described himself as a labourer, was brought before Mr.
Selfe charged with attempting to commit suicide.
Mr. John Brown, a manure dealer, of No. 38, Long-
fellow-road, Row, stated that at 9 o'clock this morning he
saw the prisoner on the bank of the Regent's Canal near
the iron railway bridge, in the parish of Bethnal Green.
The strange manner of the prisoner attracted his attention,
and he saw him give one, two, and three, and deliberately
throw himself into the canal. The prisoner went down and
came up again, and he shoved a piece of board towards him,
to which he clung, and was saved.
Mr. Selfe—Did you pull him out of the water ?
Witness—l did, sir.
The prisoner, on being asked why he jumped into the
canal, replied carelessly—To have a cooler, sir.
Mr. Selfe—A cooler !
The prisoner—Yes, a cooler.
Mr. Selfe—With your clothes on
The prisoner—Yes, with my clothes on.
Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by it ?
The prisoner—l meant this—to have a cooler, and I had
one.

Mr. Selfe—You have been drinking to excess, I fear.
The prisoner—l have been drinking heavily the last few
weeks.

Mr. Selfe—What are you ?
The prisoner—A cabowner.

Mr. Selfe—You would have been drowned if that good
man, BrGwn, had not saved you. I shall remand you for
a week to the Clerkenwell House of Detention.

FI,ARFUL RAILWAY COLLISION.

EDINBURGH, MONDAY NIGHT,

A fearful collision has tonight oecurred on the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The 5 p.m. pas-
senger train from Glasgow to Edinburgh, and the
6 p.m. train from Edinburgh to the North, came
into collision near Winchburgb, it is said through
the mistake of the pointstnan. At least 15 lives are
lost and about 100 injured.

FRIGH7FUL ACCIDENT ON THE LON•
DON, CHATH.4.III; AND DOVER RAILWAY.

Last nght the mail train on this line which leaves the
Victoria station at Bp.tu. met with (at present) an unaccount-
able accident between Sittingbourne and Teynham stations,
and at about a quarter of a mile from the latter place. It
appears that the train in question passed through Sitting-
bourne at 29 minutes past 9 p.m., without letting off steam,
contrary to the custom with mail or expresa trains passing
through the smaller stations, and when it reached a spot
about two miles from Sittingbourne, it ran off the metals,
the engine tearing away part of the up line, then apparently
bounding back to its own line, and finally rushing across,
the tender with it, barricading the road. The second-class
carriage which was next the tender was thrown off the rails,
being completely detached from the tender, the other car-
riages also being more or less upset. The engine-driver,
named William R.ed, was thrown out, and was found with
the fire-box of the engine resting on his breast. The body was
dreadfully mutilated, the poor fellow's right leg being
broken below the knee, his scalp almost torn off, and, it is
supposed, -his chest being broken in. The stoker, in a
manner that seems miraculous, escaped with a contusion of
the spine and the scraping of the skin from the left hand.
Five cr six of the passengers received slight contusions,
but beyond these, as far as we could gather, we are happy
to state, nothing of a serious nature occurred.

Drs. Rae and Fisher, of Sittingbourne, were speedily
made aware of the catastrophe, and hastened to the scene.
They had those persons who were hurt sent on to Sitting-
bourne—one of the medical gentlemen (Dr. Rae) remain.
ing to see the driver extricated. On information of the
accident being received at Faversham and Sittingbourne
junctions gangs of workmen, porters, were immediately
despatched to the spot, being accompanied by the respective
station-masters, Messrs. Breeze and Barnard.

It would seem that a goods train was passing the mail train
just before the accident occurred, and, in fact, had cleared
the down train by about three yards when the latter
"jumped." Had the goods train been but half a minute
behind, the loss of life would probably have been fearful.
Fortunately also there was no embankment just there, or
the train must inevitably have been cast down. The sight
presented by the line at the place of the accident was most
surprising. For nearly 100 yards it was torn up, both up
and down lines being snatched from their sleepers as if
but straw. Part of the engine's funnel was embedded in
the earth, the other being thrown about ten yards further
on, while the dome was precipitated about twenty yards on
the other, or down side of the line, and of course was much
indented.

The body of Reed was extricated after nearly three hours'
labour in raising the engine by the aid of jacks, &c., and
conveyed on a trolley to Sittingbourne for the coroner's in-
quest, which will probably have been held this day, when
some evidence will doubtless have been given as to the
cause of this lamentable accident. We should have men-
tioned that the line was blocked until probably a late hour
to-day.
