MORE FORGERIES.

We regret to be called upon to record another addition
to the list of share frauds. Forgeries have been disco-
vered amongst the certificates of scrip sent in for registra-
tion to the offices of the Oriental Gas Company. Up to
the present time it appears that only five spurious dom.
ment3, purporting to represent fifty shares each, have been
detected. It is usually found, however, that parties who
embark in a'career of crime of this description carry on
their nefarious practices to no petty extent; and the share-
holders will naturally be very anxious to, learn the farther
results that may attend the investigation which is now
being made. Fortunately, the shares of this company are
only of it. each, fully paid up. The interests of holders
whose property is represented merely by scrip are pecu-
liarly subject to danger from forgery. It is true that in
the case of the Great Northern Railway Company all the
safeguards by which inscribed stock is hedged in have
proved utterly futile ; but most persons impute this result
to the glaring inefficiency of the system of audit. When
we find thateven the fact of a company being made to pay
dividends upon a larger amount of capital than has been
issued is insufficient to awakenthe vigilance of its officials,
there is indeed ground for argument against the entire ex-
isting system—as worthless, and calculated only to encou-
rage a delusive feeling of confidence. It is to be hoped
that this important matter will be kept in constant agita-
tion until the means of securing a larger measure of secu-
rity shall have been attained, and that fresh frauds will
not be required to stimulate the attention of the numerous
parties interested.—Daily News.

FRIGHTFUL OCCURREIVOg AT THE ENTRANCE
OF TEE LONDON DOCKS.

Yesterday (Thursday) morning, shortly after eight
o'clock, a frightful accident occurred at the entrance of the
London Docks to a man named Edward Walker, aged 40
3 cars, under the following disastrous circumstances :
It appears that the unfortunate man was a labourer, and
it is usual for a great number of men to be waiting outside
the gates every morning for employment in the warehouses
and other parts of the vast establishment. About the
time above-named there was a crowd of labourers as-
sembled in expectation of work just as a heavily-laden
waggon passed into the Docks, when Walker made an at-
tempt to enter before the vehicle, and in his haste to do so
he was crushed most fearfully between a lamp-post and
the hind off-wheel of the waggon, and before the horses
could possibly be stopped be received frightful injuries.
His screams for help wore distressing to hear, and when
released he fell to the ground in a mutilated and insensible
condition. He was carried immediately into the surgery
of Dr. English, of Upper East Smithfield, where the poor
fellow was examined, and found to have been completely
scalped—the whole of the flesh and integuments of the
right side of the head were likewise torn away, and the
skull bone was fractured. The right shoulder bone was
dislocated, and there were also other external injuries.
After Dr. English had rendered temporary assistance,
the injured man was placed on a stretcher and removed by
four police-constables of the H division, to the accident-
ward of the London Hospital, where Mr. Robt. Debenham,
the house-surgeon, and the whole medical staff, rendered
prompt aid ; but the injuries sustained by Walker were
so serious that very faint hopes were given of his surviv-
ing the accident many hours.
Last evening he was in a low and dangerous condition.

ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.-At the Petty Sessions held on
the 9th inst., at Wednesbury, Messrs. Bagnell and
Walker being on the bench, George Paddock, a youth
of 17, lately in the employ of the South Staffordshire
Railway Company, was charged at the instance of Mr.
Wrnyss, Superintendent of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the folloe.inz
case of atrocious cruelty to a dog. From the evidence it
appeared that on the 27th ult. a Skye terrier was in the
goods shed of the Great Bridge station of the above
railway, when the defendant, with the assistance of
another young man, named Kenyon, also in the employ
of the same railway, but not yet in custody, having
procured a quantity of turpentine, they completely im-
mersed the dog with it, and having surrounded the
animal with straw, they set fire to it. The dog was
literally roasted to death, giving utterance to the most
excruciating cries, the limbs dropping from the body.
The two offenders were immediately dismissed from the
service of the company, when they absconded, but Pad-
dock was eubsequently apprehended. In defence he
stated that he merely intended to scorch the dog, but
the magistrates considered the charge completely made
out by the evidence for the prosecution, and most pro-
perly !inflicted the utmost penalty—viz., three months'
imprisonment with hard labour, accompanying their
sentence with tee tno-t ineiguaet expression of their
disgust at the revolting act of barbarity. Mr. Wemys
applied for a warrant against the accomplice, which was
immediately granted, and ho will doubtless be also soon
brought to justice°

HILARY TERM, 1857.
The Council of Legal Education have approved the fol-
lowing rules for the public examination of the students.
The attention of the students is requested to the follow-
ing rules of the Inns of Court
"As an inducement to students to propose themselves
for examination, studentships shall be founded of 50
guineas per annum each, to continue for a period of three
years, and one such studentship shall be conferred on the
most distinguished student at each public examination ;
and further, the examiners shall select and certify the
names three other 'students who shall have passed the
next be examinations ; and the Inns of Court to which
suet s‘dents belong, may, if desired, dispense with any
terms, not exceeding two, that may remain to be kept by
such students previously to their being called to the bar.
Provided that the examiners shall not be obliged to confer
or grant any studentship or certificate unless they shall he
of opinion that the examination of the students they select
has been such as entitles them thereto.
" At every call to the bar those students who have passed
a public examination, and either obtained a studentship or
a certificate of honour, shall take rank in seniority over all
other students who shall be called on the same day.
"No student shall be eligible to be called to the bar whe
shall not either have attended during one whole year the
lectures of two of the readers, or have satisfactorily passed
a public examination."
RULES FOR THE PUBLIC EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES
FOR HONOURS, OR CERTIFICATES ENTITLING STU.
DENTS TO BE CALLED TO THE BAR.
Ate examination will be held in next Hilary Term, to
which a student.of any of the Inns of Court who is desir-
ous of becoming a candidate for a studentship or honours,
or of obtaining a certificate of fitness for being called to
the bat, will be admissible;
Each student proposing to submit himself for examina-
tion will be required to enter his name at The Treasurer's
office of the Inn of Court to which he belongs, on or before
ThpradY, the.lst dkty,qf Japuary next, and he willfurther
bOtequired state writing whether his objta inraer.
ing himself for examination is to compete for a student-
ship or other honourable distinction?; or whether he is
merely desirous of obtaining a certificate preliminary to a
call to the bar.
The examination will commence on Thursday, the Bth
day of January next, and will be continued on the Friday
and Satu:day following.
It will take p 1 ice i a the Benchers' Reading-room of Lin-
coln's-inn ; and the doers will be closed 10 minutes after
the time appointed for the commencement of the examina-
tion.

The examination by printed questions will be conducted
in the following order :
Thursday morning, the Bth January, at half-past 9, on
Constitutional Law and Legal History; in the afternoon,
at half-past 1, on Equity.
Friday morning, the 9th January, at half-past 9, on
Common Law; in the afternoon, at half-past 1, on the Law
of Real Property, &e.
Saturday morning, the 10th January, at half-past 9, on
Jurisprudence and the Civil Law ; in the afternoon, at
half-past 1, a paper will be given to the students, includ-
ing questions bearing upon all the foregoing subjects of
examination.
The oral examination will be conducted in the same
order, during the same hours, and on the same subjects,
as those already marked out for the examination by
printed questions, except that on Saturday afternoon there
will be no oral exanNation.
The oral examination of each student will be conducted
apart from the other studouts, and the character of that
examination will vary according as the student is a candi-
date for honours or a studentship, or desires simply to
obtain a certificate.
The oral examination and printed questions will be
founded on the books below mentioned ; regard being had,
however, to the particular object with a view to which the
student presents himself for examination.
In determieing the question whether a student has
passed the examination in such a manner as to entitle him
to be called to the bar, the examiners will principally have
regard to the general knowledge of law and jurisprudence
which he has displayed.
A student may present himself at any number of exami-
nations until he shall have obtained a certificate.
Any student who shall obtain a certificate may present
himself a second time for examination as a candidate for
the studentship, but only at one of the three examinations
immediately succeeding that at which he shall have ob-
tained such certificate ; provided that if any student so
presenting himself shall not succeed in obtaining the stu-
dentship, his name shall not appear in the list.
Students who have kept more than 11 terms shall not be
admitted to an examination for the studentship.

SUICIDE AT fiEtt.—An inquest was held at West
Hartlepool, on Monday, on the body of Robert Burgess,
aged 37, chief mate of. the large screw steamer Sardinian,
Hubbard, master, of London. The steamer arrived at
West Hartlepool from Hamburg, which port she left Cu
Tuesday, since which day the deceased had kept below
in his bed. He was afflicted with disease, and had
abacdonen himself to drinking, at Hamburg, and also
on the passage home. About 2 o'clock on Thursday
morning the captain went below to examine his chart,
when the deceased came to him from his bed, and said,
with a smile on his face, that he thought he was mad.
The captain advised him to return to bed, which he did,
and at 6 o'clock the steward looked in to see how he
was, when a horrid sight met his view. Seated in one
corner of his cabin was the deceased, his back resting
against the locker, his right arm reclining upon it, with
a razor tightly grasped in his hand,
i a bucket between
his legs, and two frightful gashes n his throat. The
first bad come upon the bone, but the second had severedn

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 11.
The Royal Mail steamship America, Lang, cone,
mender, which left Liverpool for Boston on Satur-
day with the usual mails, a large cargo, and 5g
passengers, has put hue.- this morning, having
received considerable damage in the heavy gale of
Tuesday. Her starboard bulwark, from the fore-
castle to the paddlebox, has been carried away by
a heavy sea, which appears to have broken over
the forward saloon, reducing it to a mass of chips,
and them to have swept the deck, tearing away the
davits and two boats on the port side. The deck
of the forward saloon was lifted up in several .
places, and the water poured into the berths below,
and into the engine-room and hold, in large quanti-
ties. The force with which the sea struck the ship
may be imagined when it is stated that one of the
forward pumps was wrenched partly from its posi-
tion, the strong bolts having started, while massive
iron stanchions and steadying bars, severat inches
in diameter, were snapped asunder. The boat-
swain's house was also stove in. One of the second
cabin passengers states that about 10 minutes to
10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when off Cape
Clear, the ship, which was there going slowly ahead,
was struck by a very heavy sea. He was at the
time lying in a forward cabin berth, when he heard
the water gushing through .the saloon deck and
down the companion, and rushing forward. He
thought at the time the vessel was sinking and
gave himself up for lost. He left cabin and
waded up to his middle in water towards the stairs.
At the moment the vessel pitched, and imme-
diately he felt the water up to his armpits. The
bulk of the passengers were sitting in the saloon
at the time of the accident, and they must have
been inevitably swept overboard had not the main-
mast staved up the wreck of the saloon (a house
built on deck) and acted in some measure as a
breakwater. They had reason, he said, to thank
God that the ship was so strong, and that she was
manned by such able officers. Captain Lang
especially displayed the greatest intrepidity and
coolness, and his orders were executed by his
officers and man with promptitude and—without
the least confusion. The vessel was immediately
put about, and she arrived in the Mersey this
morning without further accident. It is the im-
pression of some of the hands on board that if
another such sea had struck her she must have gone
down. The engine room was filled with water, but
the uninjured pumps being got well to work it was
kept under, although considerable difficulty was
experienced in keeping the bilge from being choked
by the splinters which were washed below. One
of the passengers was in a closet forward at the
time the sea struck the ship, and some of the
displaced timber falling against the door almost
blocked him in. He, however, succeeded with
some difficulty in forcing his way out.
Mr. Ferguson, chief engineer, and his staff dis-
played the most praiseworthy coolness in the hour
of danger, remaining below when the water was
pouring in with a force that might have terrified
a less brave man. Their experience, however,
enabled them to perceive that the water was all
from above, and, that the ship was all right and
taut. The shock stopped the engines for a
moment, but they resumed working immediately.
The officers and men with ()Teat difficulty closed up
the rents in the saloon deck and elsewhere with
spars and canvass, an operation attended with the
greatest danger, as it continued to blow a hurri-
cane. The chief officer, Mr. Grace, while assisting
in this perilous work, was nearly washed overboard.
At the time the sea struck her some of the passen-
gers were playing at cards in the fore cabin ; and it
is said that they immediately fell on their knees,
imploring the Almighty to save them. When ex-
tricated they were covered with bruises. It is as-
serted that she America took 100 tons of water on
hoard in the sea which struck her.

O.i the vessel arriving in the river the passen-
gers presented an address ,o Capt. Lang, bearing
testimony to his presence of mind and seamanlike
qualities during the trying moment. It is scarcely
necessary to state that the America is a first-class
steamer, with 1,800 tons register,-and 800-horse
power. This is the first instance of any of the
Cunard steamers being compelled to return to port
through stress of weather.
Tho wails and passengers, with their luggage,
were land, d in the course of the day, and to-mor-
row (Friday) they will be despatched for their
destination in the Royal Mail steamship Canada.
The Europa sails o❑ Saturday with passengers
and mails for New York.
The following is the report of Lloyd's sur-
veyors :

December 11.

" We, the undersigned, being requested to survey and
report the damage done to the steamship America,
Lang, master, from being struck by heavy seas in a gale
of wind when at sea on her late intended voyage hence
to Halifax, &c., she having returned to repair damages,
for the particulars of which see the master's protest, on,
examination this day found the hea'irails, boards, and
part of the knees broken, the tore deck-house or saloon
stove in, and all the internal arrangements broken or in-
jured, the deck side-houses, paddlebox, and part of the
fl )atB broken, 13 top stanchions, are( 60 feet of the main
and topgallant rail and bulwarks broken, and part of
the starboard covering-board Fplit or injured, and top
-iides partially strained ; part of the topgallant main
rail and captain's cabin on starboard side aft injured ;
four iron boat-davits and part of the topgallant and
:train rail and bulwarks on the port side broken ; the
after deck-house, or main saloon, partially injured, and
windows broken ; the brass and iron stanchions and rails
broken or bent and part lost ; 46 feet of the port main
rail and bulwarks broken, the platform bridge broken,
the fore-yard and fore-trysail mast broken, t,r, o boats
and two swinging booms and gear reported to be lost ;
the forward lower cabin seriously injured, the framing,
panelling, staircase, and internal arrangements being
broken or started, and the upholstery much damqfr,
and other cabin stores injured ; the fore rigging par-
tially chafed and injured, and it was feared that part
of the cargo forward might be damaged. We therefore
recommended that the deck-houses, cabin furniture, and
stores should be cleared away for the purpose of repairs
and for further examination, and to give time to ascer-
tain if the vessel had received any injury on the bottom,
although we believe she has not.

hothe, the robbers decamped, taking plate and money

an alarm was given, and a surgeon was called in to at-
tend Mr. Bradley, whom he found suffering from great
loss of blood. He is considered to be in a dangtrsns
state. An examination of the premises showed that the
thieves had broken a pane of glass in the window of the
breakfast-room, slipped the hasp of the window, and
broken open the shutters inside.
