The Outrage in Burton Crescent.

To-day, the prisoner John Scales, who is in cus-
tody on a charge of having attempted to kill a
police-constable of the E division in North-crescent-
mews, was again placed at the bar of Bow_street
Police-court.

Mr. Vaughan, the magistrate, presided, and called
upon Mr. Superintendent Searle to state what addi-
tional evidence he had obtained since the prisoner
was last before him.

Superintendent Searle said they had apprehended
a man this morning, but Saunders had seen him,
and declared he was not the person who shot him,
so he was set at liberty. The only other evidence
he had on the present occasion was

George Saunders, 153 E, the injured man, who
was so far recovered as to give evidence, said he was
on duty on the 20th of October, and North Cres-
cent-mews was opposite his beat. He remembered
on that night seeing the prisoner at the bar, and
spoke to him in Mabledon-place. He asked him
what he wanted there, and he replied he was wait-
ing to see a man. He had beea waiting about for
10 minutes before he (witness) spoke to him,
but about that time the man the prisoner
said he was waiting for came up, and both
went away. When he (witness) was shot he was
at the far end of the mews searching the cabs.
He was certain at that time no person was in
either of them. As he was returning up the
mews, and just as he had come to the last
one, a man rushed out of the cab and struck him
a violent blow on the side of the head. He saw
the man come out of the cab, as he was close to
the door when it flew open. He was certain
the prisoner at the bar was not that man.
When he fell to the ground he saw the man point
the pistol at him, and seeing that he rolled on
one side, and the ball took effect in his leg.
The man who fired the pistol then ran away. Ile
was certain the man whom he saw with the prisoner
was not him. lie did not remember seeing
the prisoner 'hen he was recovering. The man
who shot him wore a Fenian hat, a long beard, and
had a fresh complexion. He was taken to the police-
station, and, after having had his wounds dressed,
he returned to the mews with the sergeant,
and he then found the pistol (produced). It
had an exploded cap on the nipple. He
did not recollect the prisoner asking him to allow
him to spring his (witness's) rattle. No person
asked him such a thing.
Mr. Vaughan said there was very great cause to
believe, although the prisoner was not the person
who fired the shot, yet he knew who did, and he
should again remand him, with the option of pro-
curing bail.

MORE EXPLOSIONS AT TILE OAKS COLLIERY.—
BARNSLEY, 830 P.m.—About half-past 5 this after-
noon there was a violent explosion at the Oaks Colliery,
the flames reaching nearly to the head gearing. It was
followed at intervals by four others more or less violent,
all occurring within an hour. It appears that the up-cast
shaft had on Tuesday become a down-east, and the men
tried to make the No. 1 perform that work, fur which pur-
pose the doors at the bottom were opened. It is apparent
that there has been smouldering fire in the pit since the
explosion in December, and the removing of the soil from
the scaffold down the No. 2 evidently let in the air, and
so caused the ignition and explosion. Happily no persons
were injured. Up to 8 o'clock no more explosions had
occurred. Every precaution, has been taken to prevent
accidents.
