CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.

Sir GEORGE GREY said, that as his Hon. Friend the
member for Montrose, had got to the first order of the day,
the Charitable Trusts Bill, he wished to say a few words
upon the subject. Last week the House had affirmed the prin-
ciple of the Bill, being the accountability of parties managing
these [tugs to Parliament. He had received several com-
munications since the second reading of the Bill from parties
interested in the subject, and those parties made no objection
to the principle of their accountability being acted upon;
but they made various suggestions of such weight and im-
portance that they would require ample time for considera-
tion. The Lord Chancellor would have under his con-
sideration a more general measure than the one
submitted to the House by his Honourable Friend
the Member for Montrose. He hoped that as the House
had recognised the principle of the Bill introduced by his
Honourable Friend, he would be induced, at that late
period of the session, and the great importance of the mea-
sure, to postpone it for the present session, in order that the
whole subject might be fully considered and brought forward
early in the session ensuing.
Mr. HUME said that the object which the Government
had in view would meet his views upon the subject. Since
last week he had received an abundance of communications
on the subject, all pointing to the absolute necessity of such
a Bill, but requiring much more to be done than was in-
tended by him, his object merely being to give to Parliament
the management of charities, and nothing more, leaving to
each individual connected with such charities to take what
measures he might wish, in due time. That appeared
to him to be the means of obtaining what the public ought
to have had many years since. It was not only to obtain
accounts from these charities he wished, but it was abso-
lutely necessary that there should be some means to regulate
these institutions, because a large proportion of them were
of so small an account that they would not bear the expense
of any litigation. Under the present circumtat.ces
he had no alternative. The Government pledged itself to
bring in a measure of a more comprehensive nature next
session, and feeling the opposition he had experienced (not
that he was at all afraid of that opposition, for he knew that
no Bill had ever been introduced into that House iwith
respect to charities which had not been strongly opposed) he
thought that a reformed House of Commons should be
resolved and determined on this subject, and should
have some account from these charities. The time would
come when the discussion.on this question would occupy the
attention of the House more than it bad done, and he would
therefore, without hesitation, leave the Bill for next \I ednes-
day, and by that time he hoped to see in the Government a
disposition which would induce him to give it up altogether.
He begged to move that the order of the day be read.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN said that the other day he
had had the honour of moving that the Bill be read a second
time that day six months, but he wished to inform the Hon.
Member for Montrose, that in doing so he did not wish to
dispute the principle of the Bill. He objected to the mea-
sure on the ground that its provisions might cause some
trouble.
After a few words from Mr. B. Escott, Mr. Brotherton,
(inaudible), and Mr. Newdegate,
The Bill was postponed until Wednesday next.

ACCIDENT ON THE EA.STEItri

COUNTIES nAIL WAY.
At the conclusion of the examination of the engine.drif
_er
and stoker before the county magistrates at Ilford gteal.°l:
Monday, Captain Coddington, one of the Government ipso
specters of railways, proceeded to Stratford, for the purl__
_
of examining into the efficiency of the signals and (4,7.
matters relating to the accident, preparatory to making
.Tf
report to the Board of Trade. He was attended by xi-
.
Roney, the secretary, Mr. Scott, the locomotive superinten-
dent of the line, and Mr. Samuels, the resident engitleere.
His first object was to inspect the locality of the signals and
the distance they could be seen ; and after a careful
e, measurei;
ment it was found that they could be discerned 220 yards
down the line—that extreme distance being 479 yards fe9l:
the station. That the signal was erected on the wrong
of the line was the general opinion. Had it been on the side
of the down line, it could have been seen almost double 15'
distance. Captain Coddington was informed that the cow:
pany hadcommenced to remove the signals on the Colchester
line, which were all of the same description, and to erect!
their place some of a similar construction to those on the
Cambridge branch. Thee- have only been recently coal'
pleted, and it was admitted that day and night they Kaye
proved most efficient:
A doubt being entertained as to the possibility of Clare,
the engine-driver, being able to bring the train to a stopeagred'
from where the signal can first be seen at the Strad...).
station, at the speed it was said to be travelling, CaP,Lai;
Coddington, we believe, suggested the propriety of maxilei
experimental trips, with a view of ascertaining the fact. ,I.
:h
was accordingly arranged to make such trials yesterdan"
the same engine and trucks which caused the-accident. ,
Captain Coddingron a c.irdingly visited Strattord Yesie.%
day, and went on the Firefly engine (the front of which
much knocked about), accompanied by Mr. Scott, the loc
motive superintendent, and Mr. Samuels, the engiltele
Thee then proceeded with te eriments propsed,
result of which clearly subitanthiate the statement( matleteeli
the company's officers, that the train could have uz:d
brought to a standstill before it reached the station, P,t,
attention been directed to the signal and the proper
appliances used. In the course of the experiments the
train was put on at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
On sighting the signal the steam was shut off, and' h
os,
applying the breaks and reversing the engine, the tA
was brought to a stoppage some yards from the Stratio;;
station. It will be recollected, that at the magistrate
C t
inquiry, it was stated that the speed of the train, when fire
seen coming up, was about seven or eight miles an b°,103
The mischief to thecarriages, however, tends toshow that
speed must have been greater. After the trials Captain Co,
dington left for town. It is considered probable that his
_:ss
port to the Board of Trade will not be issued until the row
of the trial of the engine-driver and stoker.
The accounts received last evening at the Shoreditch eta'
tion of the condition of the sufferers lying at the London
Hospital were of a favourable character, as regarded four
them; but in the cases of William Prentice, the companYeile
porter, and Mr. Morris, of Adam-street, Romford, and or
of the Hoop Inn, Deptford, as previously reported, their
condition was far from satisfactory. The unfortunate fella f'
Prentice, who is in his eighteenth year, was, it appearaslS
the last compartment of the second-class carriage, Weei
Shaffington, another porter, and Henry Olive, a goode.tr*:i
guard. Shaffington states lie was lying his full length '4
one of the seats, and Prentice and Olive were sitting on the
opposite seat. All he could recollect of the collision was 'silo
denly falling through the bottom of the carriage on to
road between the rails, and finding the engine of the Ow;
train over him. He has sustained little injury, silideber
expected to leave the hospital in a few days. In the
compartments of this carriage were, Mr. Morris,
Millwood, of 2, Luke-street, Turk-street, Bethnal-gru7i,
Mr. Murphy, solicitor, of Hendon; John Smith, folio
Cooper's-gardens, Hackney-road, the constable ;
Keeler, of West-hill, Essex; James Stone, and Mr. lane;
of Hale, near Hendon. The three laidies who were in rd,
carriages more' in advance of the train, Mrs. Paine, of
who had the small bones of her left leg fractured ; Mrs. I' -of
dersley, of Chigwell, thigh fractured, and Mrs. BroinlePri,
Colchester, are, we are happy to say, in a fair way of reolge,
The husband of the last-mentioned lady had his shin 7,-or
Lured. He is also going on favourably. Those in the
rf
pital have been visited daily by Mr. Roney, the seeret3l";
who has directed that everything should be done which
ictl
in any,way be conducive to their comfort. The a°ierici
evinced by that gentleman is spoken of in the Most It
terms by the sufferers.
r rtv
An accident of a precisely similar character as the ull-°esri
nate affair on Saturday, occurred at the same spot six S°
ago, and, though many persons were hart, it was not ef
fearful a description as the recent one.
