Arter some considerable consideration, the foreman of
the jury said they found

One of the jury here said he did not agree in the
verdict; he thought there was a doubt, and he:should
give the prisoner the benefit of it.
The CHAIRMAN said they must be unanimous in their

MONDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.
After our parcel was dispatched on Saturday after-
-B°l3o, Lord Clifden's lot arrived; it was composed,o

14e- Justice to Ireland should have been here at the
thine time, but, owing to an accident, which threatened
0,!, most serious conscquences, it was half-past one
clock in the morning betorehe reached the town. From
the account given us by a gentleman who was in the
train, it would appear that about three miles from
—uesterfield, the axletree of the van snapped in two,
and that the body dropped sideways on the truck, in
which position it reached Chesterfield. Here the truck
as detached from the train, and a powerful spring-
Jackl having been obtained, the van was raised to the
irel, and having been strongly secured, was fOrwarded
Y the next train to Swindon, the horse, as we are in-
lormed, not having sustained any injury; but his perils
were not ever, for in backing out of the van be slipped
through the planks, and narrowly escaped breaking his
leg; with some cuts in his hock, he was forwarded in one
of Lord Clifden's vans, and reached Doncaster between
One and two o'clock in the morning. It is a providential
thing that the wheel of the van fell inwards; had this not
been the case, it must have gone over, and as Lord Clif-
ilen's vans were next to it, the consequence must have
been frightful. The accident is to be attributed to the
defective state of the axle, which is the more inexcusable,
the van being entirely new.
