OVERSEERS BEWARE I—Succeeding overseers of the
poormust not pay bills incurred by their predecessors ; it'
they do, the auditors will not allow it in their parochial ac-
counts, and, therefore, they will lose out of their own
private pocket that which ought to have been paid by their
predecessors, and charged in the parochial accounts. 'There
Is an instance of this at the present Nottinghamshire assize.,
wherein the late overseers ot, a place called Sutton, Ashfield
(who did not pay au attorney's bill for business done fur them
by him, when they were in office) are sued for the amount,
because the present overseers refused to discharge the claim,
eliding that if they did, they should lose the money out of
their own pocket, as the auditors would not pass it in their
tecounts. It is quite reasonable that overseers should, while
in office, pay their own accounts, and not push them over
upon their successors. Neither must overseers pay law bills,
without their having been taxed by the Clerk of the Peace.
...From a correspondent.
DEATH IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL.— On the first day of
the Maidstone assizes, a gentleman, engaged in a civil action,
was proceeding by the South-Eastern Railway to Maidstone,
when, in passing through the Merstham tunnel, a fellow-
bassenger, sitting opposite to him, was astonished at finding
i 3 neighbour suddenly thrown into his lap, and apparently
unable to recover his place. What was his horror, on emerg-
fir' from the tunnel, to discover that he was dead! An in-
quest was held on the body on Wednesday, when a verdict
was returned of " Died by the visitation of God."
