THAMES.

William Smith, aged 63, a tall, gray-haired man,
dressed like a yeoman, who did not utter a word
during a very long investigation, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned, with
two others not in custody, in stealing 1531. from Mr.
George Gibson, an engineer of High-street, Poplar.
The prisoner was described as a farrier, of Cotton-
street, Poplar, but he is a well known " magsman."
A box of artificial eyes, a scent bottle, a gold watch
and chain, a pair of spectacles, and some other property
were found upon him.
Mr. Gibson said—l have lately arrived in England
from Calcutta, and have been staying at the Captain
of Man of War Tavern, in High-street, Poplar. I
have known the prisoner eight or nine days. He
was in the practice of coming into the coffee room and
conversing with me, and he learnt that I had a good
deal of money. Yesterday morning I had occasion
to call upon Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller and
Ravenhill, engineers, at his prmate residence, St.
John's Wood. I am a stranger in London, and I said to
the prisoner the night before, that I had to go up to
St. John's Wood, Marylebone, and asked him to
direct me the way there. He wanted the address,
which I gave him, and appointed to meet me at the
Yorkshire Stingo, in the New-road, at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, on my return from St. John's Wood.
After giving me this direction (the Yorkshire Stingo),
he left me. After leaving St. John's Wood yesterday
I went to the Yorkshire Stingo, and was partaking of
some bread and cheese and ale at the bar, when the
prisoner joined me. We had some ale together, and
went away arm-in-arm untill we reached Oxford-
street, when I said, "I know where I am now." He
proposed to adjourn to a public•house, where we had

sixpennyworth of gin and water. He called for one
glass and I for the other; and after we had drunk it
he said, "Excuse me, I have business over the way ;
wait here for five or ten minutes," and he left me and
had scarcely got across the street when a man came
into the house and said, " Ah, Mr. Gibson, I am glad
to see you out ; how do you do ?" I said I was very
well, and was waiting for a friend.
Mr. YARDLEY—Did you over see that man before ?
Mr. Gibson—Yes, once before at the house where
lam staying—only once. We went upstairs to a
billiard-room and I seated myself near a window,
where I could see Mr. Smith come over again. When
I had stood at the window 10 or 15 minutes the man
said, "You had better give it up, Sir; he is not
coming back." A third person then came into the
room, and in a polite manner said, " I beg
pardon, gentlemen hope I don't intrude
is this a private party ?" I said the room
was as free for him as for us, and he seated
himself close to us, and called for brandy and water.
A conversation was then got up about America, and
the second person, whom I met downstairs, asked me
if I had ever bee❑ in America. I said I had not.
The second person said, " I have heard a good deal
of America, but I was never there." The third
person said he had just arrived from America. The
second person said he should like to know a business
man from America. The third person said he knew
nothing of business, and that he had lived as gentle-
man's servant to a bachelor in America, who died a
little while ago and bequeathed 22,000/., and that
there was a provision in the will that 4001. was to
be given to the poor of four different parishes in
England.

Mr. YARDLEY—Did he name the parishes ?
Mr. Gibson—No, sir. He said the parishes were
immaterial—he could choose which he liked. He then
asked me if thero were any more poor people in the
parish to which I belonged. I said I bad no doubt
there were. He asked me which parish it was, and
I said it was Wolverhampton, in Staffordshire. He
said if I could show him a sufficient proof of my re-
spectability, and that I was a man of substance and
fit to be trusted, he would give me 201. to dis-
tribute among the poor. He also said the second
person should have 201. to distribute among the poor
of his parish. After this was talked about for some
time, it was proposed to return to the City, and we
all three got into an omnibus and proceeded to the
Bull's Head public-house in Leadenhall-street.
When we got in there we had more brandy.and-
water. The third person, who was gentleman's ser-
vant to the rich bachelor in America, proposed that
we should meet him again, and receive 201. each.
The second person proposed that it should be done at
once, and the deceased bachelor's servant said be
should be happy to meet us in an hour if we could bring
him some money to convince him that we were re-
spectable men. I the❑ went to Poplar and fetched a
101.-note and 531. i❑ gold.
Mr. Y ARDLEr—And was robbed of the whole of it ?
Mr. Gibson—Yes, sir. At 10 minutes to 6 I re-
turned again to the Bull's Head, and waited until 10
or 15 minutes past 7, when the person who said he
had 4001. to distribute came there, and we were
joined by the other man, who produced a roll of notes
and said he had 50/. in his possession.
Mr. YARDLEY—Are you sure they were bank-
notes ? Mr. Gibson—They appeared like it. I pro-
duced my money, and the third person said, "I am
now convinced you are respectable men, and will
give you 20/. each for the poor at some future time."
He got up, as if he was about to leave, and the se-
cond man said, " Don't leave us. I will get you a
receipt for the 201. at once." The third man then
put a roll of sovereigns in his hat, and said he was
ready with the money. The second man put his 501.
in his hat, and said to me, " You leave your money in
it, and let us go out and get two stamped receipts for
201. each."

Mr. YARDLEY—For the poor of Wolverhampton ?
Mr. Gibson—Yes, Sir. Well, Sir, I left my purse in
his hat.

Mr. YIRDLEY—And your money too ? Mr. Gib-
son—Yes, Sir, 1531., which I brought from Black-
wall. I was getting up to go away, and the second
one said " I will do the same as you have," and took
hold of my arm by the side of the door, when I saw
Mr. Smith, the prisoner, again. " Halloo," says I,
"is it you ?" and he immediately seized hold of my
other arm and was leading me towards the street,
when I saw the third man following us across the
passage. I immediately suspected something wrong,
and said "Let me go, let go my arm," but they would
not. I tried to extricate myself from them, but they
pinioned me and dragged me off the doorstep, and the
man in whose hat the money was ran across the street,
and I saw no more of him. The other two men also
disappeared immediately. I have never seen my purse
and money since.
Mr. YARDLEY—And you believed this story about
4001. being left to the poor by an American gentle-
man ? Mr. Gibson—Yes, Sir ; I was completely
thrown off my guard; they both produced a good deal
of money.

Mr. YARDLEY—Are you sure you saw the prisoner
a second time in Leadenhall-street ? Mr. Gibson—
Yee, Sir; he appeared all at once.
Mr. YARDLEY—You are a most credulous person,
and have lost all your money. What are you ? Mr.
Gibson—l am an engineer, and was in the service of
the Indian General Steam Navigation Company.
These are the wages which I brought home.
Mr. YARDLEY—ShouId you know the other people?
Mr. Gibson—Very well indeed, Sir.
Mr. YARDLEY said the affair was cleverly con-
cocted, and the engineer was made the victim of a
deep-laid conspiracy to defraud him of his money.
There was some evidence the prisoner was concerned
in the conspiracy, but, as the prosecutor was robbed
of his money in the City, the case must go to the
Mansion-house. He remanded the prisoner until this
day, when be will be brought before the Lord
Mayor. He directed the police to look after the other
sharpers.

LAMBETH.
After the other business of the court had been dis-
posed of, Matthew Williams, a well-dressed young
man, of rather respectable appearance, and who had
been brought from the Mansion-house, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of receiving
a silver pencil-case, and other articles, the property of
Mr. Henry Isaacs, from a young woman named Mary
Ann Boreham, with a guilty knowledge that they
had been stolen.
Mr. Gilham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Hobler for the defence.
Mr. Gilham having briefly stated the outline of
the case, called
Mr. Henry Isaacs, a City officer, and officer to the
Committee of London Bankers, who stated as fol-
lows :—About the middle of July last I missed several
articles from my residence, 157,IFenchurch-street, and
my wife, in consequence, spoke to a young woman
named Mary Ann Boreham, then in my service, re-
specting them. My wife told me—
Mr. Hobler—You must not tell us what your
wife told you, as that cannot be evidence against the
prisoner.
The magistrate having ruled this in Mr. Hobler's
favour,
The witness, Mr. Isaacs, said—On the 15th of
August the young woman Boreham disappeared from
my service, and, from what I bad beard, I on the
Monday following called on the prisoner at the place
of business of his master. Mr. Byars, a wine merchant,
in Langbourne-chambers, which is nearly opposite to
my residence, and where he holds the situation of
messenger. On seeing him, I said, " Matthews, do
you know anything of my servant girl ? " and his
reply was, "I never saw the girl." I then left ; but
from what I subsequently heard, I went back, and
saw the prisoner. Addressing him I said, " Mat-
thews (for such was the name I called him), you
know where the girl is, I am certain, and if you do
not tell me, I shall see Mr. Byass." The prisoner re-
plied that I might, with pleasure ; and I went into
Mr. Byass's office. When the prisoner was called in,
Mr. Byass, upon being informed of the circumstances
asked the prisoner what he knew of the affair; upon
which the prisoner began to laugh, and his master
checked him, and remarked that it was no laughing
affair, but, on the contrary, a very serious matterl
and requested me to put such questions to him as I
might think proper. I then said, " Did you ever see
the girl ?" He replied, "No." I then asked if she
had ever given him anything, and he replied that she
had given him an apple. I then said, "I have lost
such a description of articles as are likely to come
into the possession of such a person as you, and
produced a card containing a list of the things, and
stated what a part of them were. The prisoner then
said, " I have got the slipper-tops, they were given to
me by a young woman of the name of Hannah, a
servant to Mr. Swift." I asked him his address, and
he said "8, Church-street, Kennington," but added
that he also lived at Hanscomb-crescent, Union-row,
Clapham, for he had hardly removed. I then said
" I shall take you into custody for having in your
possession things that have been stolen from me," and
I did take him into custody. At the station-house
he was searched, and a cigar-case was found in his
breast pocket belonging to me. I have since seen
the pencil -case, penknife, and the worked slipper-tops,
found at the lodgings of the prisoner, and also a gold
pin, found on a young woman at Camberwell, to
whom the prisoner had given it, and identified all as
my property. On the 27th of August I received in-
formation that the girl was discovered drowned in a
pond near Brixton, about a mile and a half from the
prisoner's lodgings, and at a place where she had
never, ,I am convinced, been before. The shawl,
apron, shoe, and bonnet produced were those worn by
the girl when she left my house on the 15th of
August, and the pin, pencilcase, and some other sr
tick iron
safe. I have spoken of, were stolen from a small
safe.

City police-constable Charles Dodd, 511, deposed
o finding the articles produced on the person and at
she lodgings of the prisoner.
Harriett Siramonds, a good-looking young woman,

3, 1851.

to whom the prisoner was paying his addresses, de-
posed to his having presented her with the gold pin
produced, and also a knife, both of which articles had
been stolen from Mr. Isaacs's house.

Sarah Brown said the prisoner had lodged at her
house for 14 or 15 months, and up to the time he
was taken. He showed her the cigar-case and
slipper-tops, and said tbey had been sent to him, but
had never spoken to the person who had sent them.
The slipper-tops, he said, had been passed through the
letter-box.

Hannah Gerrard, a servant at Langbourne-cham-
bers, Fenchurch-street, said she had seen the prisoner
speaking to the deceased in the court where he lived
on the day b3fore she disappeared. The deceased was
coining towards witness to speak to her, when she
saw the prisoner leave the counting house, and, fol-
lowing him, she did not return.
In reply to the questions of Mr. Gilham the witness
said that she had seen the deceased and the prisoner
speak together four or five times, and she had taken
in letters from the former to the latter.

Thomas Baker, a fellow-servant to the prisoner,
said he had seen the prisoner and the deceased speak
together several times, and on one occasion the former
gave him a package of five cigars to give to the latter.
In reply to the questions of Mr. Hobler, the witness
aimitted having spoken to the deceased himself, and
said he assisted the prisoner in smoking the cigars
she had given him.
This being the whole of the evidence,
Mr. Hobler contended that there was nothing that
would induce any jury to find a ♦erdict against his
client of receiving the articles spoken of knowing
them to have been stolen; on the contrary, there was
nothing whatever to show a guilty knowledge.
Mr. ELLIOTT differed from the Learned Gentle-
man, and said that his different and conflicting state-
ments, and particularly his assertion to his landlady
that he had never spoken to the person from whom he
had received the cigar-case and the worked slipper-
tops, when the contrary was shown to ba the tact,
was, to say the least of it, most suspicious. Had the
slipper• tops been passed through the letter-box of his
master, he (the prisoner) had no business, in his (Mr.
Elliott's) opinion, to appropriate them to his own use.
Mr. Isaacs here said that the father of the young
woman was in attendance, and, as he had come from
the neighbourhood of Great Leigh, beyond Chelms-
ford, and was most anxious to have the fullest investi-
gation into the circumstances attendant upon the very
suspicious death of his daughter, he hoped his worship
would hear him.

The poor man, who seemed much dejected, said,
that from what he had learned, he did think that the
inquest was hurried over exceedingly and unnecessarily
quick, but this he supposed was owing to his daugh-
ter's apparel not being such as to denote her to be a
person of consequence or fashion, and therefore no
adjournment was considered necessary. He also
learned that no medical man had been examined
before the coroner, and that the evidence was very
scanty.
Mr. ELLIOTT could hardly suppose that 8 case of
the sort could have been disposed of without the tes-
timony of a medical man, and inquired of Sergeant
Merritt, 8 P, who attended before the coroner, whe-
ther such had been the case, but
That officer replied in the negative, and said that
since the inquest had been held there were rumours
in circulation in the neighbourhood which rendered
it very desirable that a further inquiry should take
place.

On hearing this Mr. ELLIOTT said he should re-
mand the prisoner to a future day, when he should
expect the whole of the witnesses before him.
The father of the deceased hoped that the body
would be exhumed, and a proper surgical examina-
tion take place before the next investigation.
Mr. ELLIOTT observed that he had not the power,
as the prisoner was not charged with being concerned
in the death, to order this, but he had no doubt the
authorities of Lambeth parish would, on the applica-
tion of the father, permit the body to be exhumed
and examined.

On the application of Mr. Hobler the prisoner was
admitted to bail in two sureties in 1001. each.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT

BRISTOL, SEPT. 2.—A brief announcement appears
in The Sun of this day of a fatal colliery accident
which occurred yesterday afternoon at one of the
Kingswood collieries, situated about four miles from
this city. From inquiries on the spot, and at the
Bristol Infirmary, %here several of the sufferers were
removed, the following details of this calamitous
occurrence have been gathered.
It appears that the accident happened at the Deep
Pit Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Brain and Co.,
which is situated about half' a mile from the Starveall
Pit, belonging to the same firm, where it will be
remembered some months since a dreadful boiler ex-
plosion took place, which resulted in the loss of seve-
ral lives. The routine business of the colliery pro-
ceeded as usual quite safe yesterday till about half-
past two or a quarter to three o'clock in the afternoon,
at which time " a turn" of nine men were being
hauled up the main shaft. The natri!s of the men
were—Bryant, Stone (married), Joseph Parker,
Stephen Newman, John Parker, George English, John
Bright, William Wiltshire, and Nathaniel Dix. They
were drawn up in safety as far as " the stage," their
accustomed landing place, at the mouth of the shaft,
when just at that critical period, it is stated
by the engineer Stone, the bolt of the reversing handle
of the engine broke short off. He was instantly
aware of the perilous nature of the consequences
which were likely to ensue, and he caught hold of the
" eccentric rods,' and endeavoured to lilt them. He
also turned off the steam. Finding he could not lift
the eccentric rods, he called out to a man (George
King) to come and; help him, but before they could
be lifted the accident happened, the cart with the poor
men being drawn right up over the " shiver wheel,"
and then dashed to the ground, a ditath of 25ft., the
iron cart crushing them in the fall. The men, as soon
as they were passing the stage, saw their danger, and
two of them, Bryant and Stone, jumped out, and for-
tunately escaped uninjured. Another poor man,
Stephen Newman, also jumped out, but must have
miscalculated his distance, for he Tell short and was
precipitated right down the main shaft, a depth of 147
fathoms. Of course he was instantly dashed to pieces ;
his body was discovered a little after four o'clock,
dreadfully disfigured, so as to be scarcely recognizable.
The other poor fellows were also much crushed by
the heavy iron cart which fell with them, and which
weighs about 3i cwt. The " cart," or iron bucket,
on looking at it this morning, was covered with
blood. They were immediately placed in carts,
in as easy a position as possible, and conveyed to
the Bristol Infirmary. The two worst cases are
those of Nathaniel Dix and George English. Dix
was found to have sustained a compound comminuted
fracture of both bones of the right leg, fracture of the
right thigh, extensive lacerated wounds of the left leg,
contusion of the scalp and other parts of the body.
His leg was amputated last night by Mr. Morgan,
one of the surgeons of the infirmary. English sus-
tained a fracture of the skull, and an extensive wound
of the cheek, extending right across through the lip,
also severe contusions and injuries. The recovery of
these poor men is extremely doubtful. The injuries
of the remainder of the men who were precipitated to
the ground with the cart consist chiefly of very severe
contusions.

On an examination of the broken bolt of the re-
versing handle of the engine, the immediate cause of
the accident, there does not appear to be any flaw in
it. The engine, too, was, generally speaking, in good
order. The broken bolt had been placed in the hands
of Samuel Osborne, the blacksmith of the pit, prior to
the investigation into the circumstances which must
take place. Notice of the fatal accident had been
forwarded to the coroner, Mr. W. Joyner Ellis, and
after he has given the notice required by Act of
Parliament to the Secretary of State, an inquest will
be held.

DESTRUCTITE FIRE AT BRISTOL.
At about two o'clock on Tuesday morning a most
alarming fire was discovered to have broken out in Red-
cross-street, St. Paul's, Bristol, one of the most densely
populated portions of tho city, and which of course al-
most instantaneously spread terror and alarm through-
out the neighbourhood; and from the courts and houses
were to be seen the male and female inhabitants rushing
forth in almost a state of nudity. Upon inquiry it was
ascertained that the fire was raging in the extensive
workshops of Messrs. Laverton and Co., cabinet-makers
and general furnishers, and which are completely sur-
rounded by dwelling houses. The alarm having bean
given, the police engine, and the engines belonging to
the various insurance companies, were speedily upon the
spot; but from the highly inflammable nature of the
materials and stock, and the premises being very old; all
endeavours to am at the progress of the devouring des
ment were useless, and by 3 o'clock the whole were in
one vast sheet of flame, illuminating the horizon for miles,
and distinctly visible from all the heights surrounding
the city. The whole of the premises and valuable stock,
were totally destroyed. After the most searching in-
quiries, the cause of the fire remains enveloped in mys-
tery, inasmuch as there had been no fire in the polishing
shop, where it originated, for more than a week; nor
had there been any fire whatever on the premises during
the whole of the afternoon of yesterday. The foreman
of the works, Mr. Collins, states that he examined the
premises on Monday evening, and found them all safe.
Whatever the cause, however, the consequences hale
been lamentable, as the whole of Messrs. Laverton's
valuable stock, to the amount of upwards of 2,0001., to-
gether with all the tools belonging to the eighteen work-
men employed, valued at nearly 200/, were burned. The
premises, which aro valued at about 800/., have been
entirely destroyed. Wo understand that the premises
are fully insured in the Alliance office; Inv the workmen
are totally uninsured, and the Messrs. Laverton to only
500/. in the Sun office.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.---The pro-
prietors at their next meeting are to consider the question of
making a contract with the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway,
now in progress of construction, for the use of the former
railway.
