DECK PASSENGERS ON BOARD OF IRISH STEAM-
BOATS.—Yesterday an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the
Bull's Head, Little Thaines•stieet, West Smithfield, on view
of the body of Patrick Connell, aged 46, a tailor, who died
on board the Prussian Eagle, Irish steamer. It appeared that
the deceased went to Cork about a month ago to see his
friends. Last Thursday he was carried on board the Prus-
sian Eagle, which left Cork for London that clay, and which
had on board several head of cattle between decks, with
about 300 deck passengers, who paid 2s. each. Deceased was
in a declining state when put on board. On Friday night a
storm came on, and the waves of the sea swept over the fore
part of the vessel where deceased was lying. A tarpauling
was put up, but that was taken away by the passengers at
the after part of the steamer. At da3 light next morning de-
ceasal was found dead, no one having attended to him during
the night. Verdict, " Found dead, and that the death was
accelerated by exposure to the cold and the extremity of the
weather." The Coroner recommended that better accommo-
dation should be afforded to deck passengers.
CONSIGNMENT OF STAGS TO LOUIS NAPOLEON.—
On Wednesday last, Mr. Herring, of the New-road, Re-
gent's-park, animal dealer to her Majesty, received orders
frem Prince Louis Napoleon, President of the French Re-
public, for 50 English 'allow deer, for the park of St. Cloud.
Mr. Herring accordingly obtained 50 fine annia.als from
Mr. Fuller, M.l'., of Rose-hill-park, near Hastings, and with
the assistance of Mr. Shaw, of the South-Eastern Railway
Company, conveyed them in vans to the Staplehurt station,
where they were placed in deer trucks and conveyed to Folke-
stone for transit to Paris by the railway company's steamer
Prince Ernest, via Boulogne. On their arrival at Folkestone
the trucks were taken from the rails and run on board the
steamer, under the direction of Mr. Shaw, without any in-
jury to the animals. They were then taken to Boulogne,
and thence to Paris, where Mr. Herring arrived on Friday
morning, just as the President was about to proceed to the
grand review of the troops. The deer were much praised
by the President and his Generals, and by orders received
from the former, Mr. Herring took them to St. Cloud,
where they were liberated in the park among a number
purchased by the Prince last year.

THE APPEAL CLAUSE 1N TIIE EXTENDED COUNTY
Comrs Acr.—As actions are now in the course of trial in
county courts to 501., it is probable that the right of appeal
given by the 14th section of the new Act (13th and t4th
Victoria, cap. 61) will be claimed. An appeal is only given
on points of law, or upon the admission or rejection of evi-
dence. The words are, " That if either party in any cause
of the amount to which jurisdiction is given to the county
courts by this Act shall be dissatisfied with the determination
or direction of the said court in point of law, or upon the ad-
mission or rejection of any evidences, such party may appeal
from the same to any of the superior courts of common law
at Westminster, two or snore of the puisne judges whereof
shall sit out of term as a court of appeal for that purpose,
provided that such party shall, within ten days after such
determination or direction, give notice of such appeal to the
other party, or his attorney, and also give security, to be
approved by the clerk of the court, for the costs of the ap-
peal, whatever be the event of the appeal, and for the
amount of the judgment if he be defendant and the appeal
be dismissed : provided, nevertheless, that such security, so
far as regards the amount of the judgment, shall not be re-
quired in any case where the judge of the county court shall
have ordered the party appealing to pay the amount of such
judgment into the hands of the clerk of the county court in
which such action shall have been tried, and the same shall
have been paid accordingly; and the said court of appeal
may either order a new trial on such terms as it
.thinks fit,
or may order judgment to be entered for either party, as
the case may be, and may make such order with respect to
the costs of the said appeal as such court may think proper,
and such orders shall be final." The appeal is to be in the
form of a case agreed upon by both parties, but if they
cannot agree the judge of the court is to settle and sign the
same.
