OVIZRSEERS BEWARE t.
-treecleebdyilleit°- overseers of loprfs
For must not pay bills in
they do, the auditors will not allow it in their parochial ac-
counts, arid, therefore, they will less out of their own
private pocket that which ought to have been dby their
predecessors, and charged in the parochial accounts. There
13 an instance of this at the present Nottinghamshire assize,
wherein the late overseers of a place called Sutton, Ashflel
(who did not pay an atturney's bill for business done for them
by him, when they were in office) are sued for the amount,
because the present overseers refused to discharge the claim,
finding that if they did, they should lose the money out of
their own pocket, as the auditors would not pass it in their
accounts. It is quite riasonable 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.

DEATH IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL.— On the first day of
the Dfaidstone assizes, a gentleman, engaged in a civil action,
`vas proceeding by the South-Eastern Railway to Maidstone,
when, in passing through the Merstham tunnel, a fellow-
passevger, sitting opposite to him, was astonished at finding
his neighbour suddenly thrown into his lap, and apparently
unable to recover his place. What was his horror, on emerg-
ing from the tunnel, to discover that he was dead! An in-
quest was ,held on the body oa Wednesday, when a verdict
was returned pf " Died by the visitation of God."
