CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY).
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Baron PLATT.)
MANSLAUGHTER ON THE EASTERN COUN-

TIES RAILWAY.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Brown resided at Tottenham, and was formerly in
connexion with Mr. Jackson, the contractor. He knew
the prisoner, who had entered their service in June,
1844, and after being a short time employed as fitter, he
was subsequently made engine-driver, and drove on the
line each day for about six months. He seemed to wit-
ness a careful, cautious man—in fact, extremely so, and
was well acquainted with the signals.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He thought it in-
dispensably necessary that there should be a competent
fireman sent with the driver.
John Bennisch proved that Clare had been in the
habit of driving engines.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLAERSON—He knew nothing
of an engine himself, but he supposed all was right as
nothing went wrong when he had seen him driving.
Thomas Scott, under-foreman of the locomotive de-
partment, went with the prisoner Clare and Quennell,
the foreman, to Romford with a disabled carriage, and
they afterwards returned with some trucks, and two
other persons in the employment of the company. One
of the men came up to him, but he did not give Lim per-
mission to get upon the engine. The other man was
taken up on the road. After they got the trucks they
waited at the Rumford station till the passenger train had
passed. He could not say how long they had waited, but he
should suppose some fifteen minutes. At Ilford the
signal was down, and stopped the engine, because, as he
said, " it was against them." When the signal was
raised, they passed on at the rate of from twenty-
five to forty miles an hour. He could see the
steam of the passenger train at Ilford. He
started from that place some six or eight
minutes before witness, and those with him stopped.
When they left Ilford they started at the same rate as
before. There was no train expected to follow them
soon. He did not see the signal until he was at it, and
then he saw red. The engine-driver was then blowing
his whistle. He noticed the train at the platform after
they had passed the signal, and they then tried to stop
by easing their breaks, but were unsuccessful.
Cross-examined by Mr. CuemßEas—He; was ordered
to send Clare with the engine to Romford, and he did
partiay order Quennel t,o go
v ass fireman. Clare said
g
" Here is Bill, Bill can o. itness asked Quennel if
H
be had " fired" before ? e answered, " Yes." He
might have read the notice in the engine-, that n o
" fitter was $o drive an engine." lie badroom often seen it

since. He dared not send a competent engineer, when
his master ordered him to send Clare. The back of
the signal was white, and any person looking at it from
the bridge would nee no other colour. The average
of an engineer's pay might be five shilling • or
6s. a day. A fitter could make 30s. a week. An engine-
driver had 6s a day. After leaving Ilford, and
before they reached Forest Hill station, two miles from
Stratford, Clare shut off the steam, so as to go slower.
There was no signal at the Forest-gate, and he turned on
the steam again. There was a man who put his head out
of a box window on the hill, but he observed no signal.
He knew that it was customary where there were no
standing signals to have men stationed on the line.
The most expeditious way to stop the engine would
be to turn the steam the opposite way, and apply
the breaks to the tender. If the valves were out of
order the engine would not act so readily. He tried to
make the breaks act, but they did not do so readily.
The Fire-fly had since the accident been taken to
pieces, but it would no doubt be brought into use
when thoroughly repaired. The chimney of the en-
gine was somewhat damaged when Captain Cod-
dington tried it next day. He was not aware that
it had been repaired before that time. Witness
had been given into custody along with five others, but
he was discharged after being before the magistrate.
He saw the engine taken to pieces, but he did not ob-
serve that the reversing lever was out of order. He had
no doubt that there was somethinc, to do with it. There
was a piece of string on the top of the lever at the time
of the accident, which was intended to supply some de-
fect. He did not see that the regulator was not in order.
William Wenstead was employed to repair the engine.
Mr. Samuels was the resident engineer. Neither Mr.
Locke nor Mr. Braithwaite attended, to his knowledge.

Charles Tomlinson was taken up on the engine on. the
day of the accident. Clare was driving, and witness
observed him trying to stop the engine at the second
bridge from the station. He did not remember coming
into the station. He believed be was on the tender
after, but he was so frightened as to be utterly uncon-
scious of what was going on.—(Laughter.)
William Kent, plate layer on the Eastern Counties
Railway, was near the Ilford station, and saw the train
passing and the engine following at a distance of less
than a mile, and goirg mach faster than the train.
George Birch, manager of the signal at the Ilford
station. He remembered the arrival of the Ilford up
train on the day of the accident. It was due there at
46 minutes past three; while the train remained at the
station, and while the signal was down he saw an en-
gine and some trucks which stopped when the signal
was seen. After the train had gone on five minutes he
made the signal to come on slowly, which was attended
to. He had known Clare drive engines before on the
Cambridge line.
Cross-examined by Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—The
Ipswich train was fifteen minutes after the time it be-
came due. It was the duty of the station-master, when
a:train departed and another was to come in immediately
after, to hang out a red ball to the first train, in order
to keep the line clear. They had not done so at IlfOrd,
because they were not aware that there was another
train approaching.
- Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Why, you say the two
trains were at the station. Witness—The signal was
considered sufficient.

Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Then you don't think
it necessary to attach the red ball ? Witness—Not to
ordinary trains.
Mr. Justice MAULE—But this was not an ordinary
train ; it was an extra train? Witness—But we thought
the signal sufficient.
"'Mr. Justice MAULE—Then your not hanging out this
red ball was contrary to your orders.
Witness—We only do that when the train is a spe-
cial one.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then several trains are allowed
to pass on without the red ball, although trains are ex-
pected to follow immediately.
(Witness—Precisely ; the red ball is always placed in
case of special trains.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then it is only for the benefit of
the directors, when: they are on the line. You take
especial care of them.—(Laughter.)
Witness—l can't say how that is, sir.
Mr. Justice MAULE—How far is Forest-gate from Il-
ford ? Witness—About a mile.
Mr. Justice illAtiLE—Then if the red ball had been
attached the man at the Forest-hill station would have
been able to stop the train that followed.
Cross-examination continued—The windlass that
worked the fans was distant f.tom the latter about 150
yards. He did not know what the signal of one yellow
fan meant.—(Laughter.)
Mr. M. CHAMBERS—And yet you act as station-
master at Ilford. What do the other colours mean?

Witness—The green meant caution ; one red below
the green meant that there was something in advance ;
two reds meant to stop altogether. In foggy weather a
lamp was placed under the fans, but it did not always
show them.

Thomas Scott considered the prisoner a competent
person to drive a train.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner ap-
plied to him to be allowed to drive a passenger train,
which application was refused. He was allowed to drive
a goods train, because the driver on the latter did not
require to look out so sharply as on the first.
John Thorpe, engine-driver—Knew Quennel, who was
removed from the London and Birmingham Railway for
incapacity.
Mr. Samuels, resident engineer on the line, proved the
distances of the signals from the different stations, and.
in cross-examination, admitted that if the red board had
been affixed to the preceeding train the collision might
have been avoided.

Captain Coddington, RE., attached to the railway
department of the Board of Trade, went down to Strat-
ford, and examined the station and windlass. The signal
could be seen from the platform, and on the other side
for 200 yards. With the view of testing whether this
was sufficient to enable a person of ordinary
prudence to stop before entering the station,
he got the Fire-fly and the same trucks, and
going to Ilford, he same back to Sratford
at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Without any previous
concert with the driver, he ordered him to stop at a point
445 yards from the platform, and the engine was stcpped
in time by the simple application of the breaks. He then
went on, and when he came opposite a place where a man
was placed with a red flag, he ordered the breaks to be
applied again, and the engine, though going before at
the rate of 30 miles an hour, stopped at the distance of
468 yards. He went to Ilford again, and although' he
performed the half-mile before coming to Stratford in
58 seconds, he was enabled, by the application of the
breaks, and reversing the engine, to stop short some 10
or 12 yards of the station. A shower of rain came on at
the time, which rendered the action of the breaks less
perfect. When he applied the break, he observed that
four wheels out of the six were locked, and the remain-
ing two revolved very slowly. When the engine was re-
versed, he found it to act very well. In his opinion, the
means at the disposal of an engine-driver of skill and
care would be sufficient to prevent any collision with a
train at the Stratford station, if he adopted the proper
precautions when he came in sight of the signal.
Cross examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He did not drive
the engine himself, but he did not require to stoop in
order to see the signal. If the driver of an engine were
not well acquainted with a line he should have the as-
sistance of a competent fireman. He should not be
afraid to drive over a length of 25 miles if he had gone
over the line thrice before, but he could not be expected
to remember the points on a line of 100 miles. It there
were no permanent signal it would be the
duty of the company to have persons between the
intermediate stations to show a signal to prevent
a succeeding train from following that which had passed
immediately before. If the person at Forest-hill had
shown a signal of danger it might have prevented the
collision.

The case was here adjourned for a short time.
THE C.►DIDEN-TOWN RIOT.—The prisoners (seventeen
in number) who yesterday pleaded guilty of riotous con-
duct and assault, were respectively sentenced to periods
of three, four, six, and nine months' imprisonment with
hard labour.]
Mr. iIIoNTAGUE CHA3IBERs, in his address to the jury
on behalf of the prisoner, complained of the extreme un-
fairness with which the case had been opened by the
Learned Attorney-General. His Learned Friend acted
under the instructions of the directors of the Eastern
Counties Railway, who endeavoured to screen the mis-
management which was notoriously knosn to exist on
their line by crushing one of the very meanest of their
servants. This trial he (Mr. Chambers) contended was
not instituted for the purpose of eliciting facts, but for
the nominal purpose of exhibiting to the world
the desire the ostentatious desire of the
Eastern Counties Company, to attend to the
public safety, while really it was intended
for the sole purpose of fixing upon a humble, a prudent,
a sober, but poor man, the onus of errors which were
attributable solely to themselves. This man, incompe-
tent to the task of conducting an engine—this man, im-
paired in his vision—this man, who was paid 255. a
week by the company—this man, assisted by another
man to act as fireman, a person who had been already
discharged from another situation of a similar kind for
unfitness—was sent with an imperfect engine, which had
been before that time declared unfit for passenger
traffic to Romford. He left that place to return to
Stratford—and here, if the company really sought to
fix the guilt on the proper parties, they should have
shown that the signals on the line were properly managed,
and that their instructions had been fully attended to.
The Learned Counsel having concluded,
Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and finished at six
o'clock.
I'he jury briefly considered, and returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
The prisoner, of course, was immediately discharged.
CAPTAIN RICIIARDSON.—We understand that Captain
Richardson was this day discharged from custody.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the friends of Alderman Wood was
held this day, at the Crown Tavern, Bow-lane, Cheap-
side, for the purpose of adopting the means necessary
to secure his election to the office of Lord Mayor for
the ensuing year.
Mr. Deputy MUDDLE was voted to the chair, and ex-
plained the object of the meeting, and stated also that
some difference of opinion existed between the friends of
Alderman Wood, with respect to his standing for the
Mayoralty this year, but that the majority •were of
opinion that he should do so.
Alderman Wobn here entered, and was unani-
mou,ly applauded. The worthy Alderman en-
tered into a detail of the events connected with
his private character, and alluded to the manner in
which ho had discharged the functions that had been
vested in him by his brother liverymen of the ward,
dwelling particularly on the way in which he distri-
buted the charities placed at his disposal by virtue of
his office.
Mr. Deputy LAKE then proposed, and Mr. WILSON

seconded, a resolution to the effect that every person
present should exert himself to the best of his ability to
secure the election of Alderman Wood to the civic
chair.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, after which
the meeting separated.

GLOUCESTER, ABERYST WITH,
AND CENTRAL WALES RAILWAY COM-

PANY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this
company took place to-day at the London Tavern. None
of the officers of the company being present, neither the
chairman (the Hon. H. Berkley), or any of the direc-
tors, solicitor, or secretary. Shortly before two o'clock,
Mr. Kriox was unanimously called to the chair ; upon
taking which, he animadverted in most severe terms upon
the conduct of the chairman, the directors, and officers
of the company, in the course they had pursued, and
unhesitatingly declared that the directors bad been
guilty of a breach of trust in the appropriation of the
funds of the company. From the results of the accounts
submitted to the last meeting, it would appear that the ,
solicitors and agents of the company had been paid
8,2731., and that there was still due to them 9,5141., mak-
ing a total of 17,7871.—(Cries of" Oh, oh.") The en-
gineers and surveyors had been paid 6,0841., and there
remained due 4,0211., making a total of 10,105/.—(oh.)
there had been paid for printing, stationary, and adver-
tising, 2.484/. Tradesmen's accounts, to the amount of
1,3371. bad been paid, and 8721. was still due. For
secretary's superintendence, office -and house ex-
penses, 2,1641. had been paid, and 3061. remained
due.— (Cries of •' Oh, oh.") The assetts nominally of
the Company were 22,4341. of thia sum they had been
told 16,0971. had been applied to the purchase of shares,
about 4,0001. hud been attached in a law suit, 1641. was
due from another railway company, 1,8001. was named
as the value of the lease and fixtures, and only 374/. was
in their bankers' hands to meet claims amouting to
14,716/.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Shame, shame.")
In the circular addressed to all the original allottees the
directors stated that they were prepared in February
last to pay the necessary deposits into the office of the
Accountant-General, although they stated that they had
invested 16,0001.
Mr. John Bentley, Mr. G. D. Clark, and Mr. John
Clark, having been appointed scrutineers, one of
those appointed at the last meeting having discovered
he was not a shareholder,
Mr. G. D. CLARKE read the report of the committee
of investigation appointed. at the last meeting, from
which it appeared, that all information by the directors,
the solicitor, and the secretary. was refused to be given
to the committee appointed by the shareholders, and
that that committee was treated with contempt
and defiance by all the officers of the company.
The report concluded by stating that the Committee
regretted that they were unable, in consequence of the
course that had been adopted, to throw any light on the
affairs of the company. The Committee were, however,
of opinion that every exertion should be made to ob-
tain a dissolution of the company, and to prosecute the
strictest investigation into its affairs, as ,well as into
the conduct of the promoters and managing committee.
—(Hear, hear.) But, after mature deliberation, the
committee were not prepared to recommend that the
dissolution should be taken to be an act of bankauptcy.
They w ere, however, of opinion that out of the disas-
trous state of the company this consolation might be
extracted, that the transaction of the so-called invest-
ment of 16,0001., and other circumstances, would
enable the shareholders to recover the whole
of the deposits (Hear, hear) and they would
have the power to take measures to compel the directors
to do them justice. The committee, in conclusion, ex-
pressed their unmitigated indignation at the culpable in-
difference, or premeditated defiance, to their wishes on
the part of the managing committee, which they con-
sidered alike insulting to them, and the large body of
the shareholders.

A long discussion then took place with reference to
the question of dissolution, in the course of which the
eenduct of the directors and all the officers of the com-
pany was most severely animadverted upon, and a de-
termination expressed to use every means to bring them
to account for their disgraceful conduct in the affairs of
the company.
The Scrutineers then proceeded to take the votes of
the shareholders, and at five o'clock they reported thal
the number of votes they had taken was 7,763, that of
that number 7,528 had voted for the dissolution, and 235
against it; that 1,833 voted for the dissolution being an
act of bankruptcy, and 5,730 against its being so.
The CHAIRMAN declared that there was not a sufficient
number of voters present to constitute a meeting under
the Act that could declare the Company dissolved, and
the meeting broke up, thanks having been voted to the
Chairman.

A meeting of shareholders was then held for the pur-
pose of considering what course should be adopted in
order to compel the Directors and Committee of Manage-
ment to account to the proprietors for the manner in
which they had conducted the affairs of the Company.
Mr. Knox was called to the chair, and a resolution
was unanimously passed that the committee of share-
holders shonid call a public meeting for the purpose of
considering what measures should be taken to pro-
mote the interest of the shareholders, and obtain justice
from the directors.

The meeting did not break up till nearly six o'clock.
