leaned back in her chair she screamed once or twice.
Mr. Seymour said she was in the -habit of going into
hysterics: We laid her quietly on the floor of the gun-
ream, and bathed her temples. Whilst she was in this
state, some discussion took place among the gentlemen
in the gun-room as to what alnatild, be dens with her.
It was determined to place her in Mr.,Knight'e bed.

put on the bed I heird no screams from her, iftd no
groans. At half-past two I burned into my cibiri. Mr.
Knight, during the whole of thisperiod, was in and out
of the cabin and gun-room. When I turned in he was
sitting on the end of the mess table. Ido not know of
anything that occurred after I went to my cabin.
Edward Heath, Esq., surgeon of the Dauntless—l
was in the gun-room when deceased fainted. With the
aid of Mr. Roche and other officers we lowered her on
the deck, after which she was removed into Mr. Knight's
cabin. I occasionally afterwards went into the cabin to
see her up to about half-past 1. I shortly afterwards

Mr. Knight in the Dauntless. He was not at the ope-

By Mr. Hoskins—Mr. Seymour was my guest on the
night in question. It was the first time he and Mr.
Knight were introduced to each other.
Lieutenant Jocelyn Jervis White Jervis, R.N., be-

awakened whilst in his.cabin by hearing a noise. Wit-

Knight was on the table, and a number of decanters. I
then went into my cabin, and went out again directly
into Mr. Knight's cabin. I remained in Mr. Knight's
cabin this time half an hour. I occupied myself in read-
ing. There was nothing in the cabin in my way.
The evidence of this witness was continued for a short
time longer. It concluded the case for the prosecution,
at half-past seven to-night.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

Yesterday the commissioner assembled numerously in
the Guildhall ; Deputy Peacock in the chair.

THE BLACICIVALL lAJLWAY NUISANCE.

Mr. DAW, the chief clerk to the commission, said he
had to inform the court that the filth and other rub-
bish of which complaint had been made at the last
meeting, as having been so excessively offensive, under
the arches of the Blackwall Railway, had been removed.
(Hear, hear.) He had also to state that he had received
from the secretary to the Blackwall Railway Company
a letter upon the subject, the counterpart of the letter
which had appeared in the newspapers, and which, no
doubt, the commissioners had seen. It gave him grati-
fication to assure the court that the order had been
effectually complied with.
Several complaints were wade against the owners of
shops in several districts, who, after the usual hour of
sweeping the streets on Sunday nights, flung the rubbish
and dirt accumulated in their premises into the streets,
thus in a great measure frustrating the labours of the
scavengers.
