It was scarcely nec Barn he said, t) offer any represent diens with rigard to the scrupul .us precision and con-taut vig lance required in regulating the time and erniduAing- the whole of the dlieater machinery connected with railway travelling ; but it was quit) mtnift st that all the exertions of the Oillei-d3 to ace that .obj -ct would be utterly neutralis.md if a private iudiVidaal were suffered to place an engine upon the lbse On his -own account, without the knowledge-or sanction' nf the comp say, and in total diregard of their e-tabliishel arrangements for the pub is safety.

Police-constable Ryan, 65 P, took the 'prisoner  into custody, and described the whole of the parties as being drunk, but the prisoner as being the worst. In defence, the prisoner said he knew nothing whatever of the matter, and that the whole of the parties were drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the conduct orthe defendant was very shameful.
