THE LATE ACCIDENT ON TEE NORFOLK RAILWAY,
NEAR THETFORD.—On Friday Mr. R. E. Clarke, coroner for
the borough of Thetford, held an inquest at that place for
the investigation of the circumstances attending the death of
Richard Pickering, the engine-driver. and William Hedger,
the fireman, who were killed on Wednesday afternoon by
the accident which occurred at Kilverstone, when the train
ran off the road, Several witnesses were examined, but there
was no distinct proof as to the cause of the train going off
the rails. As the guards with the train were too witch
injured to attend, the inquest was adjourned until such time
as they shall he well enough to be present. The body of
Hedger was shockingly bruised. One of his legs was torn
from it, and broken In three places. The poor fellow died in
great agony, begging the persons arimmd him to deprive him
of life in order to terminate his sufferings.
CAERLEON,--AUDACIOCS FRAUD.—A flagrant ;Tnposition has been tried upon the lenevolent in this neigh-
bourhood, which there is every reason suppose has been
successful in some instances. An artful dodger has brought
round a retition, purporting to be for the admission of the
bearer into the Blind Asylum, Bristol. The paper has several
forged signatures attached, as well as the names of some
charitable gentlemen, who were inducad to subscribe in con
sequence of the knave presenting false re..-4mtnendatory
letters,! bearing the forged signature of an estimable divine,
who feels deeply hurt that so base A use should be made of
his name. A similar swindle was tried about three months
ago, upon other pretences, and there is every reason to be-
lieve, by the acme parties. The police are on the alert, and
it is probable the swindlers may be compelled to spend a
portion of their Christmas liaslays on the wheel.—Mon-
um/I:shire Merlin.
