The port of St. Nazaire, near Nantes, is gradually
increasing in commercial importance. In the first three
months of the year, 603 vessels entered and 538 sailed ;
total, 1,141. Of the total, 23 were steamers, and they im-
ported 6,861 tons of merchandise, and exported 4,974.

Perkins, and Co., the extensive brewers in Bank-
side, were charged before Mr. Elliott with having
caused the death of James Tyson.
Mr, Fred. Wm. Evans, of 39, East-street, Wal-
worth, said he was in the Walworth-road near the
Elephant and Castle on the evening before, and saw
a cart run against something and overturned, and
two men were pitched out of it. They were thrown
under the shaft horse of a brewer's dray, and he
saw the wheel of the vehicle pass over the body of
one of them.

Mr. John Richards deposed that on the evening
before he was in a cart with James Tyson, the de-
ceased, who was driving, and while going along
the Walworth-road their vehicle struck against a
van and they were thrown into the road. °He saw
a brewer's dray coming on to them, and he
scrambled out of the way as well as he could, but
his friend was not so fortunate, for one of the
wheels passed over his body and killed him.
In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the
witness said he and the deceased were going the
same way:as the brewer's dray, and were in the
act of passing it, when they ran against a van, and
were thrown on to it as he had before described.
He saw both the prisoners on the dray, but could
not say which was the driver.
Police-constable Edward Johnson, 65 P, said he
was cm the spot immediately after the accident,
and saw Richardson sitting on a cask in the dray,
and Read admitted that he was driving the horses
at the time. Both said the accident occurred
through the deceased running against a van, and
being flung on to the shaft horse. The deceased
was taken up in an insensible state and carried to
Guy's Hospital, but on arriving there he died.
The prisoners said the accident was unavoidable
on their part, and Richardson was discharged, but
Read was held to bail in his own recognisances to
appear on Monday next.
