THE RECENT GOLD DUST ROBBERY.
The official investigation by the authorities of the South-
Western 'Railway Companyinto the circumstances of the
mysterious gold-dust robbery was I.roceetled with on Wed-
nesday- and Thursday-last, at the offices of the cthivany, in
the York-road, and was continued until a late hour each
evening, iw.thepresop.ce of sev.eral:members of the board of
directors. On Thursday_ a portion of the guards, engine-
drivers, and breaksmen were
,summoned to attend, together
with all the servanta employed at the stations on the line 'a
which the train stopped on the night in question. One of
the attendants at a station_ was upwards of four hours under
examination; this was followed by taking the evidence of
Morgan, the breaksman to the train; which terminated the
proceedings of the day. Several other persons are still to
be examined, and it is believed that the inquiry will extend
over two or three days more, as it is the intention of the
"company to bring forward all the parties •in any way con-
cerned, and to sift the matter as far as it is possible for them
to do so. :

Inspector Field and Sergeant Shaw, of. the metropolitan
detective police, and the City detective officers, Trent and
Huggett, havebeen busily employed since the last examina-
tion at Winchester in collecting evidence, and the latter
officers have made such inquiries at the different' stations .on
the London and South-Eastern Railway as there is reason to
belie'Ve. will enable them to fix positively on the person who
travelled by the seven o'clock train to Dover, on the Friday
morning after the robbery, and with whom, it is believed,
the prisoner Plainpin was seen in conversation .at-the Lon-
don-bridge terminus, shortly after he left the coffee-house at
the Eastern Counties Railway. It may be generally stated,
that as far as the inquiry has gone, nothing has transpired
to fix the slightest suspicion upon any servant in the employ
of the respective companies, -and how the boxes were ab-
stracted remains, up to the pre ent moment, as much a mys-
tery as ever.

COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER PLAMPIN.
WINCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—This day William
Plampin' who stands charged with being eorlerned in
the gold dust robbery on the South-West/ `railway,
was again brought up.
• Mr. Crombih, who,app'eh-ted for the lie tliStt;
the part of the South-Western Railway CRS
that in consequence of ths-suggestion throw Jut by the
Worshipful Chairman on the occasion of the last exami-
nation of ..,he prisoner, he intended to clerk) his case this
day, apd upon that to ask for the committal of the pri-
soner on the charge of stealing the , gold dust in ques-
tion.. As he had stated last week, inquiries had been
going On between the South-Western Railway and the
Royal l‘fail Steam-packet Companies, for the purpose of
conneoOng the prisoner with other parties, but of which
they were not prepared to offer the proof that day.
There Could be no. doub‘, however, that a robbery had
been &Omitted, and to the connexion of the prisoner
with ithe was prepared with proof that day.
After the evidence had been given,

• The Mayor said that the Bench were not unanimous, 1
but there was, a great wejority in favour of sending the
prisonei for trial, and ho must say that ho was one of
that number. Fronr the evidence that bad been adduced,
he thought that an opportunity should be given of in-
vestigating it in another court. The prisoner Would,
therefore, be committed to the next Winchester sessions.
The prisoner was then formally committed, but will
be brouglit up again ou Friday next for the depositions.
to be finally completed: ' • ' • .
THE 'LATE. COLLISION .ON THE—MID-
LAND, R4ILWA v.
CTIP4TERFIELD,: FRIDAY.—The inquiry into the cir-
cumstances connected with the late lamentable collision
on the lidland.Bailway was resuaied this Morning. Sir
Isaac Morley and Mr. regot attended as dircaors of the
Midland Company., , - -
Furtler evidence, having been received, the jury, at
half-pat three.o'clock; having-been in consultatien two
hours aid a quarto, returned the following verdict:—
1 , •°Th jury are unanimously of opinion that the
deaths f John Meynell and John ' Blake have been
caused y the. -reckless 'speed - Samuel Stratton was
driving the engine of the, luggage-train on the night
of Mo4day, the' 19th of May, and proneunce a
verdict Of manslaughter against him. The jury can-
not sufficiently condemn the practico of allowing
,a luggage train to start five minutes after a passenger
train, without -efficient measures being • taken to ensure

the fOrmer keeping its relative distance from the other,
as marked in 'the titre-table. The jury consider the
officials guilty of great negligence in not placing a break
behind the last earriage of the 'passenger train on the
night the accident ozourred. It is also their opinion that
a proper person ought to bh on duty at the fieui.lpSore
at the Clay-Cross station, to attend to the night signals,
as Well as those in the day, and strongly reprobate the
neglect of this precaution. The jury consider the prac-
tice highly improper of allowing passenger trains to stop
at stations notnamod 14 the time-tables?'
Tee Coroner then issued his warrant for. the appro.
bension and committal of Stretton, the driver'of the goods
train, to: Derby, to await his trial.
