BRITISH RAILWAYS.

I.eeterday the vestry of St. Pancras were occupied for
,
il,"'llsiderable period in discussing an •important matter
.I,o°llnexion with the North Metropolitan Railway,
tom leilTsiß proposed to be carried by means of a tunnel
-4" Bayswater, under the New-road, to King's-cross.
Churchwarden Biilett in the chair.
It appears -- that the parish of St. Marylebone had the
reaution and foresight, whilst the bill was going through
arliamefit last session, to obtain the insertion of clauses
Zit Pelling the North Metropolitan Railway to pay into
e hands of the vestry of that parish the sum of 16,0001.
Ler the repavement of the Marylebone portion of the New-
'ad before they could be permitted to turn an inch of
41;etuid. The authorities of •St. Pancras, either through
:Zs inattention to the interests of the ratepayers, or
e other cause, allowed the bill to pass without any
protective clauses whatever, so far as that parish is con- 50
et, and
tie° of' „ the matter having been brought under the no- 20
Ilar the vestry, by a resolution from the- East Pancras •••
eh oehial Association, an attempt was made to fix the 20
large of neglect upon the borough members. Sir B.
n 10
and Lord Dudley Stuart, who were proverbial for St.
12, their zealous attention to the local interests of every 25
Nivrier' of the, herough they represent, having learnt 25
44 at had taken place, and naturally indignant at such St.
imputation being attempted to be fastened on them,
peat a letter to the vestry stating the facts ; this called -
kirh a reply from the vestry clerk, and a rejoinder from
tin.l3. Hall, Lord Dudley Stuart being at the present
te;e on his way to Constantinople. The whole cor-
-20
,_Pezidence was yesterday brought before the vestry.
STREETEN moved a resolution to •the effect, that io
tire vestry, having considered the correspondence, en- 171jY
el exonerated the borough members from all blame 20
the transaction. 20
',l;r• STOCKTON seconded the resolution, and 20
ve•lextr. 11EALEY having expressed a conviction that the 20,
14 147 and all parties were to blame, moved an amend- 0
4ellt that all the correspondence lie on the table, which 2(:).

23EPALCATION AND DISAPPEARANCE OF A PROPERTY 20
•T" INCOME-TAX COLLECTOR.—Much astonishment has
'6eoll for the last few days created in the parish of St.
Boulton,
Danes, Strand, from a report that Mr. Thomas
',null"); the collector of the property and income-tax,
!"c.l been a defaulter to a large amount."' The respecta-
, oilaty of
Mr. Boulton's father, who had filled the office
'sf churchwarden, and the esteem in which he himself
Was held, at first induced a disbelief of the report, but,
unfortunately, all doubt upon the question was set at
ot by an official notice issued by Messrs. Twining and
• ,b,„11, the property and income-tax commissioners,
„7"Tig that, in consequence of Mr. Boulton having be-
, izhe a defaulter to the amount of 3,6001., they had
ttized upon all his property, real and personal, which
,ey would sell next Thursday, unless the above amount
La's paid in by that time. The commissioners further
sa▪ ted that they would meet on Thursday, before the 11
tock place, to ascertain whether the deficiency was
tadn, good. Mr, Boulton's securities, who are four in
to_7auteortx,,:re as a matter of course, accountable for Mr.
additi_r_on defalcations. Rumour further states that in
to his alle7ed embezzlements as a public officer,
a " Boulton has victimised many private friends. T 1 e
,Papointments which he held for many years in the parish
4' v.e'been already disposed of.
:Ace/DENT IN A COALPIT. —About twenty minutes
