FATAL MACHINERY ACCIDENT.

A frightful accident occurred at Wramplinghant
mill, about seven miles from Norwich, on the morn-
ing of the 7th inst. The business was about to be
transferred from the tenant to the landlord, and
on that morning Mr. W. Gaze, millwright, of
Norwich, and his son, visited the mill for the
purpose of making a valuation, &c. They were
engaged in inspecting the machinery in what is
technically called the " cog-pit ;" when Mr. Gaze
that he might the more easily examine-some par-
ticular point, seated himself on a beam called
the " bridge-tree," between which and a tempo-
rary floor beneath (and within a few inches of
each) there revolved, when that part of the works
was in motion, a heavy iron wheel in a horizontal
position, known as the connecting or intermediate
wheel. As he sat, his legs were through the arms
of the wheel, resting on the floor which, as we have
said, was but a few inches below. Just at this
moment the works began to move, and the unfor-
tunate man was drawn into the narrow spaco be-
tween the wheel and the beam on which he had
been sitting-..:.a space certainly not more than three
inches wide—and was crushed to death on the spot.
The lower parts of his person were completely
broken to atoms, and had he not been held up by
his son he would have been altogether so com-
pletely mangled as to leave no possibility of iden-
tification. An inquest was held on Wednesday
before Edward Press, Esq., when it appeared that
at nine o'clock on the morning of the accident the
machinery was all stopped and the fire taken out
of the furnace. After examining the engine Mr.
Gaze gave leave to get the steam up, and one of
the millers, named Ottaway-, seeing Mr. Gaze and
his son afterwards in dangerous positions amongst
.the machinery, told them the engine was likely to
" draw off" as the steam got up. Mr. Gaze ad-
vised his son to come out, and directly he had. done
so the machinery b gan to move, and the accident
occurred before Ottaway- could lift the blow-valve
to let the steam off.
A Norwich engineer, named Slack, stated that
the engine had no starting valve, as every engine
uAlit to have, to shut off the communication of the
ngine and the boiler, the throttle valve being used
r that purpose. The throttle valve appeared to be
defecti-re—so much so, that when steam was
generated in the boiltr, and the engine had been
left any way past her centres, she would be liable
to di aw on or start. A very light pressure of steam
would start her if the stones wcre lightened off, as
they were at this time. The engine having been
worked all night the steam was soon got up again.
Verdict, " Accidentally killed," Mr. Gaze and
Mr. Slack both being of opinion that no blame
attached to any one.—Bury Post.

N lIXING IT UP.--A clergyman, who was reading
to his congregation a chapter in Genesis found the last
sentence to be—" And the Lord gave unto Adam a wife."
Turning over two leaves together, he found written, and
read, in an audible voice—" And she was pitched without
and within." Re had unhappily got into a description of
Noah's ark.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--( THIS DAY. )

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The Court opened to-day after the vacation with three
Commissioner s on the rota—Commissioners Evans (senior),
Fane, and He lroyd.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE E. WHITE.

This was a, certificate meeting. The bankrupt was a
lady, a goveraess at Lewisham, but entered into a specula-
tion with a lady to produce a transparent music notation,
notation puzzlqs, and royal musical games. The accounts,
by Messrs. Butler and Cannings, show—Debtor to credi-
tors, £747 ; to ditto, holding security, £876. The property
was set down at £262, and the expenses had been very mo-
derate, and the losses were on realisation of property.
His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the first
class.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE CL ARSE.

This bankrupt was described a:. of Newgate-street and
Liverpool, foreign manufacturer, and to-day was appointed
for his last examination. The case was gone into at con-
siderable length an application having been made for an
adjournment sine die for fuller accounts. The bankrupt
was called, and the examination was proceeding when we
went to press.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE-IMPORTANT

JEDGMENT.-NEWBERY V BIRNSTINGE.

This was an action to recover £4, for that defendant
did, on the 10th September last, beat and assault the plain-
tiff, whereby he sustained damages to the above amount
This was a case of the greatest importance to railway tra-
vellers, and the assault arose out of a dispute concerning a
certain seat in a railway carriage on the London, Brighton,
and South-Eastern Railway. According to plaintiff's
statement, he entered a railway carriage on the evening of
the 10th September last. A parcel was on the
seat and plaintiff removed it. Defendant then
got in and said, " You've got my seat." Plain-
tiff replied, "Oh no 1 it is not your seat." Upon
this defendant seized plaintiff by the throat—striking him
several blows—injuring his hat and tearing his coat. A
policeman was called in and said defendant might be given
into custody at Brighton. The damage done to the coat
neeegsitated a new one.

Cross-examined by Mr. Buchanan for the defendant—An
apology was made and accepted. I did not agree to allow
two gentlemen in the carriage to settle the matter. I sent
in a bill for £2 10s. as soon as I got the new coat.
The police constable on the railway said he witnessed the
assault. He would have taken defend Int into custody had
plaintiff charged him.
His Honour—l recollect in the old stage coach days, when
a gentleman put his coat on the seat it was deemed to be his
—but I doubt whether a basket of potatoes could book a seat
in a railway carriage.

Mr. Buchanan then called defendent, who denied having
seized Mr. Nowbery by the throat, and said the coat was a
very old one. • _ _

FOREIGN SHARPERS.

Plainliff—l only had it a month before.
Defendant—That young man removed my parcel off the
seat and took possession of the same. I seized him by
the coat to remove him, and his coat was slightly torn. I
apologised, and said I would pay for the repairs. The case
was referred to some gentlemen in the carriage, who said I
was not justified.

A short time back the Paris Constitutionnel gave
a full detail of the system pursued by a number of
foreign sharpers who take offices in London, and,
styling themselves a firm, the title of which is ge-
nerally compounded of familiar mercantile names,
send orders to continental manufacturers, giving at
the same time references to some other fictitious
establishment in Loudon which purports to carry
on the business of bankers. If further testimony
is demanded they usually send bills for the amount
of the required goods drawn on some leading Lou-
don bank, which are, of course, dishonoured on
presentation; but which, meanwhile, often put the
manufacturer off his guard, especially in small pro-
vincial districts. In this manner all kinds of arti-
cles are obtained, some of them of the most ludi-
crous description when viewed as subjects of im-
portation into this country, and occasional instances
have occurred where the parties have felt so flat-
tered at finding a demand for their goods spring-
ing up on the part of great mercantile establish-
ments in London that they have actually trans-
mitted more than the quantity ordered, in thehope
that their new customers would honour them by
pushing its consumption. Notwithstanding this
exposure, it is said they are actively continuing
their operations, and with the amount of careless-
ness and ignorance prevailing it seems impossible
to prevent them from finding victims. The Vienna
Presse a few weeks back contained the following,
which appears to be one of their newest produc-
tions. In this case, however, our Post-office might,
perhaps, do something. Letters are requested to
be addressed to the Continental Trade Company,
London, through the manager, John Ellis. No
Mr. John Ellis, answering this description is to be
found in the Directory, and if such letters were re-
tained until the applicant caused himself to be re-
spectably identified, not only would the scheme be
rendered difficult, but means would be gained of
assisting the police in ease of future inquiries :
"The Continental Trade Company, London,
begs to inform the public that it is authorised by
some shareholders to extend the advance of
£200,000 to be made to well-established merchants
and others, either by open credit or per
endorsement, to the amount of £1,000,000 sterling,
at the rate of 5 per cent, interest (besides our com-
mission). For the greater facility of the public also
good foreign bills, their own acceptances, insurance
policies, delivery contracts, and other valuable
documents, as well as other personal securities, will
be accepted as guarantees.
" The company, as hitherto, undertakes the
agency of patents from all countries, and makes ad-
vances in cash on patents in order to carry them
out.

" The further industrial pursuite of tile company

Mr. Middleton said he was one of the parties chosen to
settle the matter. Witness told plaintiff he had no right
to the seat. At the same time witness advised defendant
to apologise, and pay the damage done to the coat. The
decision of the referees was to be binding.

Mr. Buchanan put it to his Honour whether the 10s. 6d.
paid into court was not sufficient, and whether the decision
of the referees should not settle the affair, as plaintiff agreed
to leave the matter to them.

His Honour—lt is an award without satisfaction, and not
binding. As regards this case, defendant has committed
an assault for which a jury would award 405., and I must
do the same. As to the coat, defendant must pay of
damages in all 10s., or £2 19s. 6d. above the sum paid
into court. The liberty and person of the subject must be
protected, and there is some doubt whether the seat was
defendant's.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP AN AFRlCAN.—Nicholas
Said, a native of Bournous, Central Africa, was charged as
follows :

MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS FATHER
IN THE ISLE OF MAN.

John Fisher, 334 A, said that about 2 the previous after-
noon he was called by the landlord of a public-house in
Pall-mall, who said he had a black man in his house who
had eaten two steaks, some chops, and drank two bottles
of stout, running up a bill of ss. for his meal. The prisoner
immediately ran out of the house, got up on the back of a
gentleman's carriage, and gave him a great deal of trouble.
He got him as far as the Reform'Club, when he refused to
go any further, got a largo mob round him, and refused to
go, notwithstanding some gentlemen came up and persuaded
him to go. He then became very violent, kicked him several
times, and bit his hand. He was obliged to get three other
constable to assist him in carrying the prisoner to the sta-
tion, where he became furious, and having assaulted ano-
ther constable was at length, to prevent further mischief,
handcuffed. . .

On Sunday week the body of a female child, aged
two years and six months, was discovered floating
in the mill-dam adjacent to the vicarage, at the vil-
lage of Kirk Onchan, in the Isle of Man. When
taken out of the water the corpse had a hood, or
casing bonnet, covering the face, and tied tightly
by the string being passed round the back of the
head, and brought in a knot under the car. A
severe wound was also discovered on one of the
temples, in which blood and water were visible.
The corpse was subsequently identified as that of
the daughter of a tailor named James Kewley, who
lives separate from his wife, the latter residing in
England. From further information there was a
very strong suspicion that an atrocious murder had
been :committed by the father of the innocent
child, which was made all but conclusive by the
fact that Kewley had left the island. It appears
that four months ago he left the child to be nursed
by a Mrs. Creer, with whom it remained up to
Tuesday night, Sept. 27, when it was taken away
by its murderous parent. On Saturday fortnight
Kewley was 14s. 6d. in arrears, and on that night
Mr. Creer went to him about payment, on which
Kewley said he would fetch the child away on the
Tuesday following, in order, as he then alleged, to
take it to some of his father's friends on the north
side of the island, who, he said, would take care of
it without charge. About eight o'clock on the
Tuesday night Kewley accordingly went for the
child, and when Mrs. Creer had dressed it he took
it away. Kewley went again to Creer's house on
the night following for the remainder of the child's
clothes which he took away in a trunk. He then
appeared to be confused and hurried. On that
occasion Mrs. Creer asked him if the child was
longing for her, when he replied that it was quite
well, and appeared "quite at. home." There is no
doubt that the child was murdered on the Tuesday
night, immediately after it was taken from Mrs.
Crcer's. The wound in the temple is stated by the
doctor to have been the cause of the child's death,
and he thought it to have been given by a hammer
or a stone. An inquest was held on Wednesday,
before the High 'Bailiff of Douglas, when a verdict
of "Wilful Murder" was returned against Kewley,
the father of the child. The murderer must have
deliberately planned the foul deed, as be had an
excuse pre pared to account for his leaving the
island ; he told Mrs. Creer that he had a running
in his neck, and was going to a doctor in England
;et it cured.—Cumberland Pacquet.

Prisoner said it was all true, and that he meant to
pay the 6s.
Mr. Albert, the interpreter at the Court, said the prisoner,
when young, was taken by a hostile tribe to the slave mar-
ket and sold there, and afterwards sent to Tripoli, where he
escaped. He then went to Smyrna and Constantinople,
where a young Russian prince took him into his service.
He went with him to Russia, where he learnt the language,
and travelled over Europe with the prince. On the 22d of
August he was fined £lO, or four months' hard labour, for
two savage assaults; but by the intercassion of him (Mr.
Albert) the prince forgave him, and on leaving London
last week authorised him (Mr. Albert) to
pay the fine, and
to give him £2 10s. to pay his passage to Paris, where the
prince was willing to have him back into his service. The
arrangements having been carried out the prisoner pro-
mised.to go, but was now, having spent all his money, be-
fore his Worship.
Fined 405., or 14 days.

THAMES.
A MOST INCORRIGIBLE JUVENILE OFFENDER.—Jacob
Hodges, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with stealing 3s. 61., the moneys of John Wilson,
his master.
The prisoner had only been in the service of the prose-
cutor, a pastry cook of No. 7, Patriot-street, St. George-in-
the East, for five days, and he then broke open a box be-
longing to his master. It contained 3s. 6d., which the boy
abstracted, and then ran away. He was soon apprehended
by police-constable Child, No. 193 H. He said he had
spent the money. Child said the prisoner had been a
thief for many years, and had robbed several masters.
Your worship, continued the witness, convicted him four
years ago for stealing Bs. from his parent's landlady in
Denmark-street, Rateliff -highway, and sentenced him to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour. After that he had
a similar sentence for stealing a sheet in Charlotte-court,
Whitechapel. His next conviction was at Worship-street,
for stealing 145., and he was sent to a refuge in Commer-
cial-street, from which he made his escape ; and, lastly, he
was summarily convicted as a juvenile offender, and sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. He
has been in custody on other occasions.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the constable had
not stated all the prisoner's convictions, for he had been
in the City prisons unknown to the metropolitan police. -
Mr. Yardley—He appears to be a most incorrigible
young thief, and we must send him to a reformatory from
which he canna escape.
The mother of the prisoner, who was deeply affected,
said her husband was a journeyman bricklayer, and his
earnings were only 15s. per week. Her boy was a person of
roving habits, and had made her very unhappy. She had
three other children to look after. The prisoner had been
at school, and could read nicely, and write a little.
Mr. Yardley—Do you wish me to dispose of the cr.se ?
- The Mother—For Heaven's sake do something with him,
or he will come to utter ruin.
Mr. Yardley—You don't wish me to commit him for
trial ?
The Mother—No, sir ; dispose of him as you like.
Mr. Yardley—Then I sentence him to one month's im-
prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction,
and after his imprisonment to be detained five years in the
Reformatory School ship Cornwall, off Purfleet. They
will make something of the prisoner there.

THE CAPTURE OF THE NANA.—It is high time,
indeed, that the telegram should announce the capture of
the man who of all men who ever existed has done most
despite to England. It seems almost impossible that the
slaughterer of English women and infants should still live
to renew his defiance to our arms. Yet so it is—he that
more than two years ago deluged Cawnpore with English
blood is still a king, still the leader of a host, still mocks ate
and insults the power which so long ago menaced him'
with instant vengeance, still has with him English cap-
tives, and still fosters and builds up the hopes of all who
hate the English name. Wo must be pardoned if we think
the triumphs of our armies are shorn of half their brilliance
so long as the Nana survives, and we may be sure this, too,
is the universal thought of the natives of India. It may be
said, however, that it is easy to censure ; not so to point out
what should be done. Look back to tho Afghan war. When
' Dost Mahomed, a far more formidable antagonist than the
Nana, fled from Cabool, more decisive measures were un •
