SERIOUS BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—John Rowe, a
young man in the garb of a labourer, was brought before
Mr. Paget, charged with feloniously and burglariously
breaking into the shop of Mr. George Huxtable, tailor,
draper, and outfitter, in Dock-street, Whitechapel, oppo-
site the new wing of the Sailors' Home, and stealing there-
from cloth, a suit of men's clothes, and other property
valued at £7.

Mrs. Ann lluxtable, the wife of ilia prosecutor, said she
went to bed at half-past 10 o'clock last night, and the house
was then fastened up and secured in the usual manner.
At half-past 2 o'clock this morning she was aroused from
her sleep by a frightful smaslit and. it seemed as if the
whole house was coming down. Her husband got out of
bed and she followed him. Upon entering the shop
she found a shutter down, and the window, formed of
plate glass, smashed in, and all the clothes made up
and the cloth within reacn taken away. She went up
stairs and saw the prisoner in a court, the entrance of
which was by the side of the house, and he was peeping
round the corner. She gave information to the police
constable on the beat, and the prisoner was taken into
custody.

John Burke, a police constable, No. 49 11, said he beard
the cries of "Police," and found a stutter down, and a
sheet of plate glass broken in the shop of Mr. 'lnstable.
Ho was directed to the court behind the house, where the
prisoner was peeping round the corner. He took him into
custody. Ho found a piece of board, painted of a light
blue colour, near the prisoner, and now produced it.

Mrs. lluxtable identified the board. It was used for
propping up the cloth in the shop window. It had been
taken with a piece of cloth from the window board.
Burke produced a piece of the plate glass which the
burglars had smashed. It was of great thickness, and no-
thing but a very heavy blow could have broken it. Mr.
flustable's house led to a labyrinth of courts and alleys
leading out of the place called Royal Mint-street, but
which was better known as Rosemary-lane. There was
no doul•t tha prisoner's confederate escaped among the
courts and alleys, which were full of thieves and other bad
characters.

The prisoner said Lo was innocent. He had nothing to
do with the burglary and robbery.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week.

Fatal Collision on the North London
Railway.

Last evening, shortly after six o'clock, a fearful collision,
involving loss of life and serious destruction of property,
took place on the North London Railway, near the new
station at Old Ford, Bow. On the west side of the line,
between the station and the Old Ford entrance to Victoria-
park, Messrs. Waring Brothers, the contractors for the
Midland Railway, now in course of construction in St.
Pancras, have large works for brickrnaking. There is a
siding from the main line into the- brickfield, where the
bricks are loaded, and it appears that about six o'clock last
evening an engine and some waggons were let into the
siding from the down main line. It would seem that
the signalman made the fatal omission of not closing the
points, and shortly afterwards a heavy goods train from
Ihydon-square goods depot for Camden came rattling in
at a pace of about 20 miles an hour. Ott reaching the points
the engine suddenly left its course ba the main line, and
with the heavily-loaded train of waggons behind it dashed
into the Sidi. g, and came in fearful collision with the trucks
which were standing still and in cenrse of being loaded
with bricks. The crash is describe :to have been some-
thing awful, and several of the truc),li Were hurled on one
side and almost shivered to, aton4 while others wore
thrown over on each other. The gut ds engines loft the
rails, and went on the ballast for soirie distance, but fortu-
nately it kept an upright position. 4,0 what is called a tank
engine ; the tank being first somewilat, protected the more
sensitive part of the locomotive fi6iit the violence of the
shock. Several of the goods waggnite were smashed up on
one side of the line, and, as may
.I)ls:Supposed, there was
a serious loss of property. As *ou as practicable a
search was made, with a view of asetittaining whether any
of the work-people had perished..:-.'..A. labourer, named
Thomas Meade, who had been only.taken on that morning,
was known to have been engaged* :loading one of the
trucks, and after a brief exatninatioilits mutilated remains
were found almost buried in tifh7;:ballast, under the
goods engine. The poor creaturplad evidently been
dragged some distance, and hi , head was stated
to have been almost crush,ad' flat. Another
workman named Frost was also foun'll to have sustained
serious injury on the head and other
.I:,.arts of his body. lie
was removed to the London BospiOU where he lies in a
precarious way. The driver and entan of the goods en-
gine, who kept to their posts, We "lso hurt. As a por-
tiont of the broken-up goods train • ticked the down line,
the station master at Old Ford tooiAlte most prompt steps
to warn approaching trains, and 611 fife first excitement
somewhat subsiding measures were inttnediately taken to
protect the road. Mr. Garman, the surgeon of Fairfield-
road, Bow, and Mr. Gull, of Bow4read, were soon in
attendance upon the wounded sufferers, 'and Mr. Kerrissey,
the inspector of the Bow (K) police,
and a large body of
his force were promptly on the spot, and rendered valuable
service in keeping back the great crewd which had col-
lected.

How the signalman came to negfict the points has not
transpired. He, however, has been suspended to await
the result of the coroner's inquest.',,,
During the night labourers were.engaged in getting the
engine on the rails, and clearing' Away the wreck of the
shattered trucks. Had it been a ,piOnger train that ran
into the siding the consequences, must have boon awful to
contemplate.
The usual information of the ootr zones has been sent
to the Board of Trade. "-
