CAPTAIN BRODERICK AND MR

MEAGHER.
TO THE EDITOR OF TITE SZIN.

Ste,—ln your paper of the 6th inst. I find a report copied,
I think, from the Times, of proceedings at the Police-court,
Dublin, on the 4th inst. lam made to say that, " I swore
an information against Mr. Meagher lately." The report of
the Dublin Freeman's Journal gives my evidence correctly,
viz., that " I did not swear any information against Mr.
Meagher." May I request the insertion of this contradiction.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE CIVIC TRIP To OXFORD.-011 Saturday the
above trip terminated. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen,
with the ladies and gentlemen visitors, arrived off Rich-
mond early in the afternoon, and, after partaking of a sump-
tuous banquet, the whole company returned to town in the
evening. The whole of the gorgeous barges were subse-
quent safely moored off the premises of bargemaster Searle,
at Stangate.
SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL BOARDMAN.—
On Saturday morning Mr. G. J. Mills, the Deputy-Coroner
for the western division of Middlesex, and a respectable jury,
assembled in the drawing-room of the house No. 12, Euston-
place, New-road, to prosecute an investigation into the cir-
cumstances attending the death of Major-General Boardman,
late resident thereof. The deceased gentleman, who had been
for many years in the East India service, was in his 75th
year. It appeared that for some time past the deceased was
in a declining state of health, and that his coachman used to
sleep in his room, to attend on him. On the Thursday night,
or early on Friday morning, he died, for the servant found
him dead at seven o'clock on the latter morning. On a post
mortem examination it was found that the deceased died of a
rupture of some vessel in the immediate vicinity of the heart.
Verdict accordingly.
THE RICHMOND RAILWAY AND THE INHABITANTS
OF MORTLAKE.—On Thursday a numerous and influential
meeting took place at the church vestry, for the purpose of
considering the obstructions in the carriage ways and foot-
paths in the above parish, occasioned by the Richmond Rail-
way, and adopt such measures as might be deemed advisable
Lord William Fitzroy was called to the chair, and after
several statements had been made, setting forth the alleged
grievances, it was resolved to institute further inquiries, and
