FATAL ACCIDENT AT A LIVERPOOL

BREWERY.

On Sunday morning an accident of a melan-
choly character, which resulted in the death of
two men, occurred at the brewery of Mr. Thomas
Howard, Cheapside, in that town. On Saturday
evening two men, named Thomas Blundell and
Henry Kelly, went to work as usual with several
others at the brewery. Blundell and Kelly had
been many years in the employ, and the former
was practically acquainted with the various
branches of the business. During the process of
fermentation the liquor is 'placed in a " working.
round" or large tub, preparatory to its being trans-
ferred to the barrels. A quantity of carbonic acid
gas usually generates in the round consequent on
the fermentation, which gas remains for some time
after the liquor has been removed. The usual
course is to subdue the gas before any one enters
the round, but in the present instance, unfortunate-
ly, this precaution does not appear to have been
adopted. About three o'clock on Sunday morning,
the two men entered the round for the purpose of
cleaning it out preparatory to another brewing.
Both commenced sweeping with brooms used for
the purpose, when in a few minutes Kelly became
overpowered with the gas, and fell down. Blun-
dell endeavoured to lift him up, but while doing so
he was also affected, and fell prostrate with his com-
panion at the bottom of the round. The cries of the
unfortunate men were heard by another operative
brewer, who was engaged in a distant part of the
premises. He went immediately to render assist-
mice, and seized hold:of Blundell, but was unable to
extricate either him or Kelly from their perilous
position. Stoneleigh had, in fact, become partially
unconscieus from the effects of tho gas in his en-
deavour to resold his companions, and had he per-
severed he must have shared a similar fate. The
assistance of several police officers was then ob-
tained, and measures having been adopted to dissi-
pate the gas, Blundell and Kelly were taken from
the round quite dead. Both men were well aware
of the danger of entering the round without taking
the nuessary precautions to ascertain the state of
the air, and. they were cautioned very shortly
before the melancholy occurrence took place. The
bodies of
,the sufferers were conveyed to their
respective places of residence. Both have left
wives and families.

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT CHURCIL—At the
conclusion of the police cases at Boston on the 12th inst.,
Mr. Hubbert, who was one of the magistrates on the bench,
asked Mr. Waghorn, the superintendent of police, whether
it was true that the force had been ordered by the watch
committee to attend church every Sunday ? The superin-
tendent replied that it was. Mr. Hubbert—Then 1 must
say I think such an arbitrary proceeding is a disgrace to the
borough, and calculated to bring on us the contempt of
the country, if we as magistrates do not protest against it.
It is an infringement on the liberty of the subject. Mr.
Smyth—lt wifl be remembered, I dare say, that I brought
this subject before the bench several months since, at which
time I understood the men were compelled to attend the
church, and it was then resolved by the bench that the
men should be at liberty to attend what place of worship
they might choose. I had no idea that the order would be
rescinded. The Superintendent—When I mad the order
to the men I told them that if any of them had been
brought up Dissenters, and they informed me to that effect,
I would lay the same before the watch committee. Mr.
Noble—Whyinquire at all as to what they have been
brought up to ? Men's opinions sometimes differ very
widely from what they were brought up to. Mr. Coupland
—Even soldiers, if Roman Catholics, are allowed to attend
their own place of worship. Mr. Noble—Yes, the Duke
of Cambridge has very recently expressed himself in strong
terms on this very subject. The Mayor,lf any applica-
tion is made on the subject it must be made to the watch
