THE BREWERY NUISANCE. The Surveyor reported that he had visited the Leamington Brewery, and found that Martin's patent fire bars had been fixed to two of the boilers, and the other two will be fixer, shortly.— This was considered satisfactory.—This was all the business before the meeting.  - -=  Was also four  At the Rugby Petty Sealliollion Tuesday, before Dr. J. 0. Buckuill and Messrs. W. S. H. Fitzroy, R. H. Wood, and P. A. Must; Patrick 011iver, private of the 59th Regiment, was charged with 1 being concerned in the murder of Robert Black, a private in the game regiment, en the 2ed of Feb.. on the Trent Valley Railway, near to Rugby. It will be remembered that the d.cesrned wit travelling with other soldiers from Willesden to Belled, where his relatives resided, be having a furlough. It was known by the other soldiers that he had a considerable sum of money in Ina possession when he left Gosport in the morning, but deceased fortunately gave £2O to Samuel Andersion, of the same regiment, who had been hiw comrade eleven years, and who was a teetotaller, for him to keep for safety. Deceased sailed Anderson amide when he gave him the cash, and the others did not know of the fact. All seems to have been right till the party reached Willesden, when deceased became separated from Anderson, and followed by the next train with some others, and the train arrived at Rugby at about eleven o'clock p.m. The next morning as a timekeeper named Thomas Heele, of Rugby, was proceeding along the line to his work, at the Newbold Cement Works, he found the dead body of the deceased on the six-foot way, close to the 84th mile-post from London. His head was crushed in on the right side of the face, the right arm smashed, and the body generally much bruised. On deceased wan found a furlough, a few biecaits, a bottle of rum, 2s. 21. in money, some tobacco, mid two pipes, one of which was broken. Near the spot a roller and torn carriale blind was found, and the circumstances left little doubt but that there bad been foul play, and a carriage was found' with a window broken. At the inquest no evidence was adduced to show how deceased got out of the train, and Mr. Coroner Poole adjourned the enquiry for a. week. Since then the railway authorities have used every exertion to unravel the mysterious; occurrence, and Detective-sergeant Smart, of Rugby, in the employ of the London and NorthWestern Company, apprehended the accused on Monday last, at his home, at Portwellan, near Holywell, Flintshire, and in his possession were found this deceased soldier's kit and also his bank book, thus proving that he was in some manner acquainted with the mystery, and he had made no effort to give up possession of the deceased's property. Under these circumstances Superintendent Palmer asked for a remand till after the adjourned inquest, which was granted. Warrants were also granted for the apprehension of Michael Kelly and Thomas Cunningham, for also being concerned in the alleged murder. The prisoner, who is about 6i11., was very calm, although somewhat downcast in his look. On Tuesday evening Policeconstable Perks, of the Warwickshire police, apprehended Cunningham at Hull, under a warrant charging him with the murder of Private Black. In reply to the charge, Cunningham said he wan in a drunken state throughout the journey and knew nothing about the affair of the third man.
