FRIGHTFUL COLLISION ON THE
NORTH LONDON RAILWAI:' .

A collision, which caused injury to at least 30
passengers, some being very serious, if they do not
prove fatal in their results, occurred on Monday
evening on the line of the North London Railway
at Hackney station.
The ordinary passenger train to London from the
Chalk Farm station at Camden-town left there at
its usual time, about half-past 5 o'clock, for London,
with the Stratford train, consisting of three or four
second-class carriages attached, ind proceeded on
its journey, followed a few minutes after by a pilot
engine, which had been•ordered to bring back to
Camden a goods train from the goods station at
Haydonsquare. The fog was very thick through-
out the line at the time, and became more dense on
the approach towards Kingsland, where the engine
was brought to a stand by fog signals, and the
driver was informed that he must proceed very
cautiously, as the passenger train preceding him
had not left the station for Hackney more than two
minutes. The engine then went on, and the pas-
senger train had delivered its passengers, and was
just moving from the platform of the Hackney
stations when the pilot engine referred to dashed
into the last carriage which belotged to the Strat-
ford train, and was full of second-class passengers,
The crash of the collision was o loud that, not-
withstanding the fog, it was heard for a Consider-
able distance throughout Hackney, and several of
the more immediate inhabitants rushed into the
station, as well as the police, to render assistance.
The second-class carriage was found completely
smashed, and the passengers lying about in all
directions, while the two or three preceding car-
riages were also broken, and some of the inmates
contused or injured.
Among the earliest arrivals of inhabitants of
Hackney on the platform were Dr. Pye Smith
and Mr. Clarke, surgeon, who examined and
paid every attention to the wounded and in-
jured passengers. Some of those considered the
worst cases were removed to the London Hospital,
and two elderly women were taken by the police on
stretchers to the German Hospital at Dal-
ston. One gentleman—Mr. Bates, organist at
Woodford—was found to have his leg broken is
two places, and was removed to the residence of Dr.
Pye Smith, where he now remains.. Another gen-
tleman named Deeley,. from Birmingham, with an
injured spine, was taken to the Britaunia Tavern,
where he still rem ns under the care of Dr.
ai_
.n 1...
pr. °Loon. Mr. Pi. Vigurs, who was riding with
his wife in the smashed carriages was dreadfully
cut in several places about the head and face, but
his wife escaped unscathed. Two sisters—Har-
riette Wood, aged 18, and Maria Wood, aged 26,
residing at Whitechapel, Susan Howell, a married
woman, aged 34, residing at Mile-end, and Thomas
Miphen, a labourer, were removed to the London
Hospital ; while Margaret Squires, aged 54, and
Anne Denny, aged 67, were removed to the Ger-
man Hospital. The former are under the care of
Mr. Lloyd, the house surgeon, and the latter under
that of Dr. Feommann. Two little boys • named
Smith, who were on their way home to-Stratrord
from school with a servant, were slightly injured;
the latter, as well as some 20 or SO persons, who
were more or less injured and contused, were sent
away in cabs to their respective residences. Miracu-
ous as it may appear, the fireman and stoker of the
engine were but slightly injured. As may well be
imagined, the alarm created among the passengers
was very great, and loud complaints were made at
the rough usage several of them received from the
police and officials on being ejected from the
station. although - anxious to render assistance.
The fragments of the broken carriages covered
the rails, and the up line was consequently
blocked for three or four hours ; and, indeed, the
entire traffic was stopped between 7 and 10 o'clock,
It is wonderful that the loss of life was not almost
as great as that resulting from the late catastrophe
ion the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton
Railway, and yet with the coolness for which
railway officials are proverbial, this collision was
described by some of the authorities of the North
London line as a " mere trivial affair ; only a dis-
located ancle, or a contusion or so." The following
however, are the names and state of the injured,
so far as they could be ascertained up to last
evening :
Mr. Bates, of Woodford ; leg broken in two
places. Staying at Dr. Pye Smith's, Hackney.
Progressing favourably.
Mr. :Deeley, of Birmingham; injury to spine,
not considered dangerous ; at Britannia Tavern,
Hackney.
Mr. H. Vigurs, cut head and face; able to pro-
ceed to his own residence.
IN THE LONDON HOSPITIL.

Harrietta Wood, aged 18,
.contused head and
side ; no danger apprehended.
Maria Wool, 26, contusions over back and
shoulders • proceeding. favourably.
Susan Howell, 34, of Mile-end, contused head
and face and contuscd legs.
Thos. Miphen, 35, labourer, cut and contused legs.
IN THE GERMAN HOSPITAL, DALSTON.
Margaret Squires, of Leighton, Essex, aged 54,
very much contused and bruised on various parts
of the body; proceeding favourably.
Ann Denny, of Witham, Essex, aged 67, simple
fracture of the leg ; age against her, but progress-
ing favourably.
It is impossible to know the nature of the in-
juries of those removed to their residences, but per-
sons who were present declared that there were at
least thirty persons more or less hurt.
According to another account, the following are
the passengers who are most injured :
Mrs. Squires, .near the church, Back.lane, Ley-
tonstone, serious internal injuries,
Mr. Francis Bates, Woodford, fractured leg.
Mr. Stephen Smith, 23, Duke-street, Smithfield,
and Mr. James Smith, White Hart, Stratford, at

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court, at which Sir R. W. Carden
presided as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, who
was absent from illness, was held for the despatch
of public business.

PROPOSED PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM FOR THE
CITY.

Upon the motion of Sir J. MUSGROVE, seconded
by Alderman WILSON, the following letter, which
was read by the Deputy Town-Clerk, was ordered
to be laid before the Committee of Justices, and a
copy of it to be transmitted to the Committee of
Common Council recently appointed to consider
this subject :

" Whitehall, Dec. 6.
Sir,—I am directed by Mr. Secretary Walpole to refer
you to the correspondence which has taken place between
successive Secretaries of State and the authorities of the
City of London on the subject of providing a proper lunatic
asylum for the pauper lunatics of the city, and to request
that you will inform Mr. Walpole, at your earliest conve-
nience, what has been done in the matter.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant, " H. WADDINGTON.
"To the Town Clerk of London."
ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF A LATE BROKER.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

The Court proceeded to the adjourned considera-
tion of the petition of Mr. Isaac Solomon, complain-
ing of the conduct of Francis Worrell Stevens, late

a broker.

Mr. Le Breton appeared as counsel for the peti-
tioner, and Mr. Hancock for the respondent.
The Deputy Town-Clerk read the petition of
Solomons, which was listened to with much atten-
tion by a crowded court. It stated that the peti-
tioner did, on the 30th day of November last,
employ the said Francis W. Stevens to purchase
for him £1,200 Three per Cent. Consols, and on the
14th of January last past your petitioner called on
the said F. W. Stevens, and asked him whether he
could get the Consols your petitioner then held
transferred into the New Three per Cent. Bank
Annuities P—to which question the said F. W.
Stevens replied No,' and said to your peti-
tioner, ' You must sell out the Consols before

you can buy the New Three per Cents.' Your peti-
tioner then desired the said F. W. Stevens to sell

out his said stock, which he, the said F. W. Stevens
did, but did not give the money for which the said
stock was sold to your petitioner, but kept the
same. That the petitioner was also induced by the
said F. W. Stevens to purchase certain other shares
in the Worthing Mining Company, for which he
charged your petitioner 7s. per share, but, on in-
quiry made soon after your petitioner purchased
the last-mentioned shares, he found that he had

been defrauded by the said F. W. Stevens, and your
petitioner and his wife went to the. said F. W.
Stevens and threatened to give him into custody of
a policeman for fraud ; and when your petitioner
informed the said F. W. Stevens of his determina-

tion, he said, ' Don't injure me ; I will return
Wu £3OO of your money to say no more about the
orthing shares,' whichyour petitioner accepted of
the said F. W. Stevens on account of the said shares.
That on the said occasion the said F. W. Stevens

promised your petitioner to satisfy him as to the
money he had overcharged your petitioner upon
the other abovementioned shares. That your peti-
tioner has repeatedly applied to the said F. W.
Stevens for the restoration of the money which the
said F. W. Stevens has so retained as aforesaid, but
without success.

The Deputy Town-clerk then read the answer of
Francis Worrell Stevens. He stated that the state-

ment in the said petition that the said Isaac Solo-
mon 'believes I have defrauded him of £9l, or

thereabouts,' is totally unfounded. That the
statement of the said Isaac Solomon in his said

petition that I induced him to dispose of his Tele-
graph shares and purchase Dale Mining shares is
untrue, as he bought the Dale Mining shares and
also Worthing Mining shares of me in March last,
and did not sell his Submarine shares until the 7th,

Bth, and 14th of April following. That I sold
the Dale shares fairly and bona fide, and
did not act as the broker of the said Solomon, nor
did I charge commission or brokerage, as my books
will show, ancrit is not true that I charged him £45.
_ _

That the said Isaac Solomon did purchase 2,400 shares
in the Worthing Mining Company. That such
shares were my own property, and I had bought
them as an investment from information I had

received, believing the said shares in time must
become valuable. That a few weeks after the pur-
chase of the said Worthing Mining shares, and I
believe in consequence of the anticipated good news
not arrhing from Austruhrt as was expected by the
mail, the shares became flat and receded in value ;
and the said Isaac Solomon and his wife called on
me and wanted me to take back the shares, which

I declined doing. That the said Isaac Solomon
then said he would go to the Lord Mayor and do
for my character, and afterwards do for me. That
I had killed one man (alluding to a transaction in
which I had summoned a party before the Lord
Mayor in respect of conduct towards me, but this
party, it afterwards turned out, was insane, and
committed suicide soon after my making the com-
plaint against him) ; that the Lord Mayor would
believe what they said, because they knew he had
a prejudice against me, and that they would stick
to me till they took my life. Solomon then said
he had come to have my life or £3OO, neither
more nor less, and added, By the Almighty God
I will do and say ; if you don't instantly give
me £3OO I will blow out your brains,' and
his wife said, ' If he does not finish you I have two
razors in my pocket (which she produced) to finish
you with.' All this was said in the presence of
my two sons. They continued their threats to such
an extent that, being very unwell from my recent
affair alluded to before the Lord Mayor, I lost my
presence of mind ; and, under the threat of an
ex parte statement which might appear in the
newspapers, and the injury it might occasion me
before I could refute it, and being under bodily
fear, I agreed to give the said Isaac Solomon the
sum of £3OO to satisfy all claims, andthe said Isaac
Solomon said he would return me the £3OO if the
Worthing shares should go for the price he gave
me, that is is. a share, which he promised to do,
and thereupon I requested my son to give me a
bank note for £3OO, which I handed the said Isaac
Solomon, who gave me a receipt, of which the fol
lowing is a copy :—' Received April, 1853, of Mr.
Stevens, three hundred pounds, being a considera-
tion for all matters in dispute between us to this
day inclusive.--£300.—1. SoLomorr.' That, there
being a balance on the general account 0f139 1 ls 2cl.
this I also paid the said Isaac Solomon, and re-
ceived the following receipt Received, April
14, 1858, of Mr. Stevens, £39 1 ls. 2d., balance of
accounts, and to settle all disputes between us.—
I. SOLOMON.' I also altered the accounts in my
books, making it appear to account for the £3OO
that the Worthings were charged at 4s. 6d., but I
also made a memorandum in pencil that the amount
was obtained from me under threats. I have faithfully
stated the facts of the circumstances under which
I was induced to part with the said sum of £3OO,
and the statements in the said Isaac Solomon's
petition are untrue, as I say I never said Don't
injure me, I will return your money to say no
more about the Worthing shares ;' that I never pro-
mised the said Isaac Solomon to satisfy him as to
the money I had overcharged him upon the other
mentioned shares as alleged, or anything to the
effect, as I never did overcharge him in respect of the
said shares. That a day or two after obtaining from
me the said sum of £3OO, the said Isaac Solomon's
wife and daughter again called on me, and again used
threats to do for me if I did not give them £lOO more,
whereupon I consulted Messm.Hancock and Sharp,
solicitors of 20, Tokenhonse-yard, who advised me
to bring an action to recover the sum of £3OO so
obtained from me, and who informed the solicitor of
the said Isaac Solomon they would defend any
proceedings that might be taken, and requested mos
to give their name to any person who applied to
me, and if I was molested again, to give the
parties in charge of a policeman, and on an appli-
cation being subsequently made to see my books
by the said Isaac Solomon's solicitor, I consulted
my solicitors as to showing the same, who advised
me to do so, but to refer the said solicitor to them,
which I did, but the said solicitor never applied to
my said solicitors. That I have stated shortly the
facts, which I can prove by my books and witnesses,
in reply to the allegations contained in the said
Isaac Solomon's petition, and I humbly submit that
the object of the said Isaac Solomon is extortion,
and the petition has been presented under the idea
that, as he had obtained £3OO from me before under
threats, he would succeed, by presenting the said peti-
tion,
the i iinducing
said
sum me o
ft o ff3eoroh
was
moneys ob
tobtained
da b
froma do nmit.
That
in settlement of all claims, and under a promise to
return it me if the Worthing shares
haverose triseoins.toa
share, and, inasmuch as the shares
that value, and the £3OO was obtained as a settle-
ment of the transactions which the said Isaac Solo-
mon now brings forward, I submit that the said
Isaac Solomon ought to be ordered to return me
£3OO before I am called on to rebut the statement
made in his petition."
The two receipts for the respective sums of £3OO
and £39 1 ls. 2d. were produced by Mr. Hancock,
and handed to the Recorder. The first, was :
" Received, the 14th April, 1868, of Mr, Stevens, £3OO,
