Mr. Henry Brett Ince, barrister-at-law, aged 30.
This geutleman, who is the son of the publisher of
the Law Journal, has sustained a compound frac-
ture of the right wrist, and suffers from cerebral
irritation. He appears to have been struck on the
neck, and for some time after the accident there
was an effusion of blood from the left ear—an un-
favourable syinptom, upon which vomiting super-
vened ; but we are glad to learn that the latest
accounts describe Mr. Ince to be progressing as
favourably as can be expected. He is lying at a
small alehouse in the village of Attleborough.
Mr. Bryson, of the firm of Robert Bryson and
Co., of Glasgow, aged 60. This gentleman is suf-
feting from a severe contmion over the kidneys and

considered to be doing well.
Miss Richmond, aged 17, daughter of the de-
ceased Mr. Richmond This lady has received
several severe contusions about the face, and has
some indication of having suffered cerebral mis-
chief. Her distress of mind on learning the fatal
result of the accident to her father was painful:y
acute ; but she has since exhibited uncommon for-
titude under her accumulaosd distresses.
These three persons were brought on to Nunea-
ton, where they remain at the Station Hotel.
Mr. Jennings, a leather factor of London, re-
ceive I a blow over th 3 eye, and was otherwise
slightly injured, but he went on in the train of
Mauches'er, and is doing well. Two ladies whose
names have not been obtained were also slightly
cut about the head, but both of them proceeded to
their destinaion after having obtained medical at-
tention.
Lieut. G. E. Corrance, 76th Regt., was consider-
ably shaken, and has a con.usion upon the shoulder,
but he was well enough to return to London on
Monday night.
Among the remarkable escapes is that of the
gud of the first break van, Wyatt. His van
rcs llred over three times before it settled in the field,
and afterwards bore the concussion of a first-class
carriage,
which was broken to pieles upon it, some
of the
imitates being killed. Wyatt was found
buried under the luggage contained in his van, and
he was so little injured' as to be able to return to
Nuneaton yesterday.
Edgar, the
conductor of the train who was in
the second-class break c_ ar_riage, sustained a contu-
ston of the lee',
and with this case the list of known
•
casnalt:ea is closed.
It is stated above that the. gatekeeper, on hearing
the express approaching, immediately exhibited his
danger signal.
.This is quite true, but unfortu-
pcont of the rail may there is a sharp
nately at this
curve, and the red flag was not observed by
the
engine-driver until too late to slacken his speed
effectually.
The coroner for the district having received in-
accident, and its fatal result,
formation of the
caused a jury to be empannt-lled yesterday after-
noon at the Bull's Head Inn, Attleborougb, for the
purpose of investigating the cause of the catas-
trophe.
There aarnl,
eetwo magistrates and one clergy-
man upon the panel, and all the circumstances of
the case will bo
fully
inquired into, though at pre-
sent it appears imp
ible to attribute blame to any
oss
person. The duties of the jury yesterday were con-
fined to viewing
and identifying the bodies, and in-
specting the
sceneofth e accident, after which the
inquiry was adjourned. While viewing the locale
of the accident, the attention of the jury- was called
to the state of the hedge over which the cow
jumped on to the railway, and it was unanimously
pronounced to be a fence capable of resisting any
ordinary amounted pressure, independently of the
additional protection afforded by a deep ditch on
the field side.

porary circus erected for the ecoa,ion (t 1 comuany pre-

the fall of about two-thirds of the audience. Fortunately,
