ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST DIRECTORS

MANSION-HOUSE-THIS DAY.

At the Justice Room of the Mansion-llouse to-day
Mr. Richard Stuart Lane and Mr. James Childs, directors
of the Merchants Company (Limited), appeared before
the Lord Mayor to answer a summons charging them
with having, on the Vith May, 1866, published a ciroular
accompanying a call upon the shareholders, they well
knowing the same to be false in a material particular, with
intent to defraud.

The summons was issued at the instance of Mr. John.
Land, of Litchurcb, in the county of Derby.
Mr. Straight, the counsel for the prosecution, explained
the specific charge imputed to the defendants, which was hat
they, while directors of the Merchants Company, had.
issued to • the public a false prospectus, is which they
stated that the business of Lane, Hankey, and
Company, of which the defendant, Mr. Lane,
was the principal partner, was in a per_
fectly solvent condition, and had not made ny
losses, and was, in point of fact, in a flourishing condition,
and the effect of which was that the public were induced.
to take shares to a large amount, and a very considerable
loss was incurred. It will be unnecessary to go into details
of the particular facts relied upon to support the charge,
as they were nearly the same as had been adduced in sup-
port of the charge against Mr. Lane, Mr. Chapman, and
Mr. Helbert. The prosecutor in this case was a gentle-
man named Land, residing at Derby.
The learned counsel proceeded at some length to detail
the particulars connected with the position of the different
houses that had done business with Lane, Hankey, and
Co., and the Merchant Company, whose estates were sub-
sequently wound up, causing considerable loss to the
latter, with a view to make out the charge of fraud, and
called witnesses to bear out his statement.
The hearing was adjourned.

TWO HUNDRED AND EIGH7Y-TWO MEN
IMPRISONED IN A MINE.

The Aldwarke Main Colliery, belonging to Messrs.
Waring, Shaw, and Co., and situated at Rawmarsb, about
two miles from Rotherham, was yesterday the scene
of a fearful boiler explosion, which, though not of a fatal
character, has yet been attended with disastrous conse-
quences. The drawing apparatus at the pit mouth was of a
somewhat extensive nature, and worked by a powerful en.
gine, which was fed with steam by three large boilers, 36ft.
by Sift., lying parallel to each other alongside the
engine-house. Early yesterday morning 282 out of the
350 miners employed at the colliery were lowered into
the mine as usual, and all went on well until a few
minutes before twelve o'clock, when the boiler nearest
the engine-house burst with a fearful report, which
was heard several miles away. In a moment the engine..
house became a mass of ruins, and the gearing
at the pit mouth was blown away, bricks and
timber flying about in all directions. There was great
alarm as to the 282 miners in the pit below, com •
catien with whom was found to be impossible till mull; ea
5 o'clock, when the first batch was brought up, a tempo•
manual labour, hay
rary apparatus, worked by horse ad
ing been fixed. It was estimated that it would take all
the night to rescue the whole of the men.
