Where do yon lire ?..:1-At No. C 2, Illacktriars-road.
Yon are an eheineer ?—Yes.
• no you know the cause of th- expiation orthe Nor-
wich steam glint t-1 do not knaw it beyond this—
that I know that the pressure must have been mare
than 751 b. having seen it worked at that pressure.
My supposition is, that the man most have had it a
vast deal beyrd that, for there was no appearance
of the boiler ;trying war at that tinse, and it WAS only
a short time previous to the explosion itself.
H4s any body informed you, that to their know
ledge the safety valve of the engine was on that day,
or on any other day, improperly laaded ?—No. but
they werelrequently in the habit of putting an ad !i.
tiara' weifrht on the valve ; this man in particular, in
both the boats which he had occasionally workel
Do yo* know any thing respecting tire construe•
tiota.of the boiler?—The boiler was eight feet long;
a cylindrical !viler four feet two inches diameter ; it
was first /lade with an internal angle iron at one end,
and *an external angle iron at the other end. In con-
• crate of.the internal angle iron having given way,
a ; iraptud was substituted, which certainly was
not done in a manner which I should have recom-
mended; it Might have been made safe certainly, any
1044 might be Made safe.
Do you attribute, in any manner, thi explosion of
that boiler to that particular alteration ?—Not at all ;
the end, is altered, appears to me to have stood mere
than the entriseevious to the alteration.
What, pressure Was the boiler originally calculated
in sustain ?....4.01b5. to the inch.
Which would you as an ..:ngineer, recommend to
'be cad on board sans boats, wrought irtsp or cast
ivia bailers ?-4 think both might be used wills equal
safosy ; but that in pro4ing them, they ought to
be kept under the pressure a considerable time. say a
quarter of an hour or halt an hour; sudden pies-
sure may c..nse flaws in a boiler. which may give rise
to accident -Oerve ,rds ; but if under pressure a con-
"citable time, yon might see the action at it.
110.Johil 'Mier ealled in; anrexinsined.

Where is you residence ?—ln Cornwall-place.
What are you ? —I sugar refiner.
Were you acquainted with the circumstances at-
tendieg the explosion of the ei.gine at the sugar-home
in Wedcluse-squate ?—I was.
Be so good AS to state them ?—I had attended from
time to time during the whole period of the construc-
tion of that boiler, fur the purpose of boiling sugar
by means of high pressure; it was necessary ee
should have a pressure of from six and tl4irty to five
and forty pounds to an inch. I saw the boiler when
the bottora only was put up, and I war at that time
informed that they had cast the dime part of it, and
that it was not sufficient, and that they were casting
another. Siinse months afterwards I attended, and I
found that other placed there. I saw them at work,
and mil went in; Mr. Haigh, who was the engineer,
told me they were boiling at eighteen pounds an inch ;
to which I replied, that must be impossible ; we have
',ever been able to boil at less than sir and thirty.
Upon which I went to the gauge, end I found the'
iudex of the gauge standing at five or Biz and thirty.
What was the nature of that gauge ?—A mercu-
rial gauge, intended as an index. I said, " Sorely
you are mistaken, this is six and thirty."' l! Oh
no ;" he said, " that means eighteen." In conse-
quence of which, I took an oppartunity of measur-
ing the gauge, and found the gauge to represent
inches, by which I knew they were in an error. I
measured to convince them of the error, but failed
and could nct convince them of it till the day
after the accident. In consequence of complaints
from Constant, the Frenchman, in whose house it
was, that it would not do its work, and his fears
in pressing
.it on to do its work, the maker of it
became anxious to thew that it would, and a day was
appointed for this to he done. Constant, at three
o'clock in the morning, began his work, and conti-
nued boiling till about eight, but boiling with a great
deal of difficulty, because he was afraid of putting
the engine to the pressure he required. He gave it
up.; he said be would boil no more, and the men in
attendance, who belonged to the engineer, went to
fetch the engineer. He and his men came down, and
persuaded Constant to have the file lit again. lie
consented, after a great deal of difficulty, and went
to another pan in an adjoining building, and there he
was at work when the accident happened : they were
urging the steam, and actually put an immense weight
upon the lever of the valve, so as to render it totally
useless. This was ascertained by a Frenchman, who
SAW it, and who stated to the :nen that he was doing
mischief and doing wrong. He was told to hold iris
tongue and mind his own business; that he knew
his business, and they knew theirs ; the consequence
was, that immediately, afterwards it blew up. Alter
this accident I went every day to the ruins, for the
purpose of satisfying myself of what had been the
cause of the bursting; and I saw the excavation until
the parts of the boiler, which was of cast iron, were
found; and then finding parts of this boiler in dif-
ferent places, the seat of this boiler being where it
had been placed, but the rest scattered about in
'different directions, I' measured the thickness of
different partl'of it. The bottom of it was two
inobevand a half • thick,tlie• upright sides of etc
