EXAMINATION OF THE SUPPOSED
FENIAN,—(This Day•)

To-day James Livermore, the Irishman taken up
for discharging a pistol iu Martlett-court, close to
the Police Station, and who was supposed to be a
Fenian, was again placed at the bar before Mr.
Vaughan, at Bow-street.
The Magistrate asked the constable in charge of
the case whether he had discovered anything fur-
ther about the prisoner? The constable, F 88, said
he had discovered that the prisoner was most re-
spectably connected. His parents resided at
Clapham. His father was an Irish magis-
trate, and the prisoner's mother was in at-
tendance. The prisoner had been in the
army serving in the 4th Foot, but he left the regi•
meat with a bad character. However, since his
discharge he had lived at South-street, Stockwell.
The prisoner's mother, an elderly lady, said the
unfortunate man at the bar was her son, and she
regretted she could not say anything good of him.
The last time he was at his father's a proposal was
made to him to go to Australi I, but he said that
was only a place for thieves and pickpockets, and
therefore it was not the spot for him. His father
then told him that, as he had rejected his offer,
he need not communicate with him any more, as
nothing further would be done for him. He left
the place in a great rage, and since that they had
both been in fear of their lives. On a former occa-
sion, whilst they were in Dublin, the prisoner acted
in such a manner towards her that she was afraid
to walk about without the attendance of a constable.
Mr. Vaughan asked whether the prisoner had ever
actually threatened her, to which she replied that he
had not actually done that, but that they went in
terror of their lives, and she was quite ready to
make any declaration to the effect. The prisoner
here said he regretted what he had done ; he had
no intention of injuring any person. He had been
miserable in his mind since he bad left his father's
house, iu consequence of his refusing to shake hands
with him, and as for the pistol he bought that for
himself and nobody else. Mr. Vaughan—But what
do you say to discharging the weapon in the public
streets? Such conduct cannot be tolerated.
Prisoner—lt wasn't in the public streets, your
honour, it was a court, and I was very drunk. Mr.
Vaughan—That is not so, the constable who took you
into custody said you were quite sober when in the
station-house. Mr. Vaughan —The utmost alarm
was occasioned by your doing :so. The Inspec-
tor said :the prisoner had given, previous to the
discovery of the abode of his parents, references to
persons and places in Dublin, all of which had turned
out false. Prisoner—l meant no harm to any one.
Prisoner's mother—l hope you will not allow him
to go without some security being taken for the
protection of myself and his father. I consider he
is a very dangerous person. Mr. Vaughan—
The prisoner has never, in fact, threatened
you, and therefore I shall impose a
fine, which he doubtless will be unable to pay, and
therefore he will have to go to prison. It is a most
distressing case, and as I consider the prisoner seems
wholly destitute of feeling ; but during his impri-
sonment he will have an opportunity of reflecting
on his conduct. I shall fine him £2, and if he does
not pay, he must go to prison. The prisoner said
he had got no money. The inspector of police asked
what was to be done with the pistol taken from the
prisoner, and Mr. Vaughan ordered it to be re-
tained by the police.

SHOOTING AT AN ENGINE DRIVER IN THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY.—A very singular occurrence
took place on saturday evening on. the Great Northern
Railway in connection with the up Edinburgh express,
which arrives in London at 9.30 p.m. Soon after the train
left the Grantham Station, and just aft. r passing through
a bridge which crosses the line hereabouts, the driver,
whose name is Fuller, heard a sharp crack against the
beard which protects them from the weather, and ex-
claimed to the fireman, " What's that ?" It was soon
ascertained, for by the light of the engine fire they per-
ceived a bullet spinning on the board upon which they
stood ; it was immediately secured by one of them, who
found that the concussion had partially flattened it. Upon
examination the weather guard itself was found to be in-
dented, so that the inference was it bad been fired from
either a gun or a pistol. The train on this night num-
bered among its travellers their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Teck, who were returning in a
saloon from their visit into Yorkshire. The bullet was
delivered to the authorities at King's-cross upon the
arrival of the train, but the affair at present is shrouded
iu mystery.
