DEATH OF MR. JOHN EDWARD ERRINGTON, C.E.
—We regret to announce the death of this eminent engi-
neer, whose name was intimately associated with that of
the late Mr. Joseph Locke, M.P., in the history of railway
enterprise in this country. Mr. Errington, who was of an
old Northumbrian family, was born at Hull in the year
1806, and for upwards of 30 years was actively engaged in
the development of the railway system, especially upon
those lines connecting Englasid and Scotland, and, toge-
ther with Mr. Locke, was engbeer to the Glasgow and
Greenock Railway and Dock, the Lancaster and Carlisle,
the East Lancashire, the Caledonian, the Scottish Central,
I Scottish Midland, and Aberdeen Railways. About the
year 1850 Mr. Errington was appointed, jointly with Mr.
Locke, consulting engineer for the northern division of the
London and North-Western Railwajt, and since that time
has constructed many branches and ext. Insions of that sys-
tem. He was also engineer in chief to the London and
South-Western Railway, and superintended the construc-
tion of the lines just completed connecting tt.:
at system
with Exeter and the West of England. Like his 100
part-
ner, Mr. Errington was a strong advocate for econon:v in
the first cost of construction ; and the lines executed un.
his directions all bear testimony to this. Mr. Errington
will be regretted by a large circle of professional and private
friends, whose confidence and regard he had acquired by
his unfailing integrity and high professional honour.
THE EFFECTS OF THE EXHIBITION UPON CABBY.
—RETIRING FROM TRADE,—A nattily dressed, red-nosed
