    ¦ wT lL ACCIDENT ON THE BIOMINGHAM ± AND i-RlSTOL LINE . Deffop . d , Sept . 15 . The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of tlie enrinc-r-rivcr , Ward , and William . Miles , a carpenter , 5 * o «« + with their deaths by a collision of trains oil 51 line on Saturday night , tlie COtL ul ., was ve' » cd this day before Mr . Uest , the coroner for this divisian of the county . ° lt will be remembered that the inquest was begun which dav evidencewasgiven thattheaccident \ vas MB ^ cd ^ the engine of the up-train eamins in cont \ n with a truck which was upon the up-Iiuc , but ^ bic ; . was intended to be shifted to the down-line

    -mdi- 'iscbcdto a tram vrliieli was momentaril y cx-UtcJ f .-6 . n llirillingh & m . A special goods train tvo'a Gloucester coming up at the time , a collision Cj , ? I ; cd ; the engine was thrown upon the opposite T yl < and the train from Liriiiinrjham approaching nVihe instant , struck the engine , occasioning the , Iteathsof the two unfortunate persons , the subjects of this in-iuiiy , seriously injuring several other persons , d o ^ lrovin-r the engines , & c . It was alleged tliat Dro-. er simials were shown to stop the special goads ' tniin . and : hc porter who was in charge of the truck di ' cd he was not aware that a goods train was I t-o-nii "' un froat Gloucester , but that he , notwithtuuidiinr , " carried a red light as a signal for trains to

    ; , c » at Ite & urd : that another red liglit was placed on tJjt- j . latforai of the station , and a third was exhibited b r a labourer at Deiibrd-road-bridge . A man named Abbott , porter at the Ikonisgrovc station , deposed that he came from Gloucester that night with the social uoods train , which was laden with iron rails . 4-1 -lea * j tliat he did not see the red light at ihe station distinctly , but that he saw the red light at Dclford-bridw , and was unable to communicate with tiic engine-driver , Ward , who did not appear to have seen it . As the evidence of the stoker and others ( who were then so seriously Injured as to be unable to attend ) was deemed very important , the inquiry was adjourned to this day . The iurv having answered to their names ,

    The Coroner thought the better course to adopt would be to read over the evidence given at the former niectimr , a sunimarv of which has been given alrcadv . James Eaird was then sworn ( he appeared with his arm in a dins , fr om the effects of the accident ) - ! am a stoker on the Bristol and Birmingham Rail-¦ wav . 1 knew Joseph Ward when living , lie was driver of the engine 2 Co . 7-5 on that line . I Was stoker to tiiat eiminc . On the 30 th of August wc left Gloucester , following shortly after the mail train , which left at nine o ' clock that night . Ours was a special goods train , consisting of twenty trucks , eighteen were loaded , and two empty ; they were loaded with wood and iron rails . Wc came on

    towards Eredon , when the pumps of the engine failed , and Ward , the driver , would not all Wme to put more lire into the en * rinc , because lie thought we should have to pull it out . We then came on towards Eckiugton , and finding the pumps of the engine working verv well , lie said we would put more lire in , aud I accordingly did so . Then on passing Defford station I had been putting fuel on , and Ward said there was something wrong . 1 was enraged in putting fuel on between Eckington " and IMi' ord , about a mile apart ; my head was down , and on passing the Defford station Ward said ihcrewassomethmgwrong . I looked , and saw Ward shut the steam off the cosine , and I was instantly tossed somewhere , and knew nothing else . I can ' t savifhe reversed the engine , but believe he made

    Jus war to tlie lever for that purnose . The firstthing that 1 recollect was finding myself on the ground , and sonic person pulling at me . Ward was perfectly sober when wc left Gloucester . Wc stopped and took water at Cheltenham—perhaps for about ten minutes . 1 did not perceive any sk'nal lights on approaching Ilefford-brid-TC . because my head was down all the wav from EcIiin « rton to Defford , being engaged in putting on fuel . " I saw no signal at all . I had not completed supplyim : the engine with fuel , when Ward to-d me there was something wrong . When 1 looked up I did not see a signal or the truck , for 1 looked towards the reversal lever . I cannot tell whether the break was on when wc passed Defford station or not , nor do I know in what part of the

    train the guard was . Ward was , as far as I know , a sieadv driver . I had only been stoker with him that week . I never was with Ward when he disregarded anv signal lamp . I cannot say what pace we were soing at . but we were not going very fast when we passed the Defford station . 1 could not lcll the pace because 1 was nutting on the fuel . Before the pinmss got out of order we were travelling at about tkirtrVdcs an hour . We have many times gww faster with the luggage train . I do not know whether Ward renewed the speed again after he found the engine Lad again got in order . Tho adding fuel mkht not " us a means cf decreasing speed , as Hint woulifdepend on the state of the water in the br . ik'r . The steam was turned off entirely twice

    k-iweenUrcdon and Defford because of the pumps kin :: oat of order . Of course that would decrease ilu-.-T-ecd ; but when the pumps were put in order and the steam turned on , it wouldinerease the speed . In 2 vcrliftinv . hcadup while filling the lire . If I lad lifted inv head 1 might have seen signals . It would occupvmore time than the engine would pass over a mile in to feed the fire . I cannot tell the pace wc were soing at . Tiia Forcinan . —An answer we will have , and you must know whether voa were going at two miles ot thirty . Witness . —I can't tell . Shall I tell yea a lie ? The Foreman . —To the best of your judgment .

    Witness . —Well , to the best of my judgment . , we were going thirty miles an hour . I dou t know how Irai" the mail had left Cheltenham when we arrived there . It is in manv inst ances the guard ' s duty , and in other instances the driver ' s duty , to inquire at what time trains have left stations . I saw tUc mail traip leave Gloucester . Wc were ordered to stop till that had gone forward . I do not know whether the driver or stoker of the mail train knew that we were to fciiow them . I did not notice whether there was auy si-mal lamp at the rear carriage of the mail train . J . lr . Wliatclv . —It lias been proved by a prior witness that there was one .

    Examination resumed . —Ward sain nothing to mc abuut having seen anv signal lights between Eckington and Di-fford . 1 did not , notice and cannot say whether Ward was standing up and attending to his duiv between Eckingtaa and Dc-lbrd . There is no occasion for siiriiu down with a - , 'cous' train . I can ' t sw if he was smokinir . If Ward hail been attending tc * lr : s dutv as driTcr . ' if the lights had been iu their I . ror . ci-pl .-ice , he would have seen them . 1 saw no feats . It is quite impossible for me to see lights wLa- s : ooiwi < r down , and .-i ! -o v . ke-i the ilre door is o-jck ; the liglit around inv would b-3 too strong . It iiocsnoui-ftuij'c Ward io stoop to open and shut the ] lire dour . 1 should consider the engine-driver as one

    of ihe likLesL oiiieers that could be on a railway . 1 never have , to inv knowledge , been on an . engine which passed bv a " si-uai unheeded . I never heard Of Ward pacing Eekimjioii iu that way . On our ar-Pitt-i-h to the De-fiord station , there was no whistle fivia the eucine which 1 was on . It is the engine drivers dutv io sound the whistle on approaching ever . - station , lie never approached auy station Lvfure ( to mv kn . 3 wletl- - . ts } without sounding the whiiiSe . He sounded the ' whistle that night at every sUlwn except at Dt-SWd . That 1 am certain of , to the best of mv ki-iiwieuge . There are some engines thai when there is too muck water the whistle will no ; sound , but the vuaips have nothing to do with it . -Mr . M'Caansll at ; d . —The whistle of no engine will

    sound ji loo full of water . E-ainiaation resumed . —The mail train which left Gloucester before us would stoD at Cheltenham , Ashen - iuvb , Spc-ici-lev and iiroinsgrove . 1 am not aware of aav notice being sent along the line of onr being about to start fnis- Gloucester .

    • hen ; . ^ _ ihB lta \ mc of the whistle to act arises fr » m se « ssa causes ; , when the water is what we term bad , l" £ ; i ' - cs , u th V bol !< " ' ' ' oi' riscs ^ combination vvit . 1 the s : eam , and prevents the whistle from sounding distinctly . When the driver from neglect has pumped his eagme tco full if water , allowing the water to get too high , aud the steam too low , the anno resui- will follow . That is peculiar to all locomotive engine * more or less , but some are better taan others , from being higher and bavin- move steam room . 1 may add that the water on the Gloucester hue is bad at many places , particularly at Cheltenham , and the engines arc tiierciorc more liable to this doicet . Wo are getting all our new engines made on the most approved form to remedy this uciect , and prevent the circumstance recurring . shomd

    I observe that the company have gone to great expense , and taken great pains to obtain the best water . 1 think it was in the latter pari of 1 S 43 we uiseharguii a man , an engine-driver , for ruiiuiiipast a signal at Stoke , and iu several instances we have suspended drivers when cases of disobedience of signals nave been reported , but on immediately investigating the circumstance , it has been founifthat although he had run past the signal , it had been shown too late by the station master , so that it was impossible ior him to stop is ia time . Stationkeepers have been fined for it . In C \» ry case wherever disobedience of signals has been reported it has been investigated , and wherever proved , nur-ishmeut has followed , if there is one thing more f-. an another that I impress upon OUV drivers it , 13 a Strict attention io signals , the peculiarities of our line rendering that of the first importance .

    The Foreman . —What would be the punishment oi an cn-fine-driver if he tilled his engine too full ot water , aud so rendered the whistle incapable of action ?

    Witness .- ! should discbaigo Mm for it . There is a rule printed on a large board at tlie Eromsgrove , Gloucester , and Birmingham stations , in which among other orders there is one requiring the drivers to report immediately to the foreman in charge anv defect which they may have observed iu anv part o * f tlwir engine ov tender , among which the xrhistlo would bo included ot course . Wc keen a book in which 1 enter all defaulters , stating the name , the crime , and punishment . 1 have not got it with mc . I may observe also that I have regular daily reports from ail the foremen , in which arc stated the arrival and departure of all trains at tlieir stations , and which contain also remarks on the conduct of the men , and the condition of the engines and tenders . Foreman . —What would be the punishment inflicted on a station-master for not reporting an engine-driver neglecting signals ?

    Witness . —! consider that a very serious offence , but I do net know the punishment , as it is not in my department . I have remarked sidings on the line to prevent the necessity of trucks being taken across the main line . They were not at all the second-class stations ; but it is to be recommended that they should be on both sides , and wc adopted them on several stations | on ouv line . I may observe , in connexion with that question , that the taking trucks across the main line is unavoidable at some of our stations—at Defford , for instance , as you must push it across after it is loaded . A Juror . —If a . siding had been on the down-line at Dofford , would the accident have occurred ? Witness . —In all probability net . Tlie company have not however , 1 believe , nay land at Defford to make a siding on the down-line .

    Air . G . Whately . —The Act of Parliament does not give us power to purchase land , and we have not suilicicnt land at present to midce a siding on the down line at Defford ; but if they apply for a new Act lam quite sure they will instruct mc to obtain the necessary power , if possible . Examination resumed . —At the Defford station there is a station-master aud a porter iu ordinary cascs . Dut on market-days they have the assistance of another man . The traffic is very irregular at this station , but in every instance where assistance has been applied for it dias been had . The staff of the line has ken great ! v increased . I know ef but two siatious , Bredoii anACarnet Green , on the line where the station-man is also employed as a signal-man . It is so at sonic level crossings , police-stations , for instance , where only third-class trains stop . Shaw ,

    who was employed as a signal-mau on the night ol the accident , was in the employment of the contractor for the maintenance of the permanent wav . The value of the large engine , Ko . 75 , is , IiShould sav , £ 1 , 500 , and the value of the other , No . 30 , is , perhaps , about £ 000 . The duties of the men at the Defford station commence at about half-past live o ' clock in the morning , and they would remain 0 : 1 duty until about ten o ' clock at night . " I have not , to my recollection , had any occasion to chastise the deceased , Joscpli Ward , for any inattention to signals or neglect of duty ; so far as I could judge of him his conduct was very regular . Ho was a very quiet man , aud from his previous character I had great confidence in him as a good driver . Thirty miles an hour I consider too high a rate of speed for a luggage train . I think twenty miles an

    hour the maximum speed ior a luggage train , l'hcy arc a class of men ( drivers ) that 1 should like to see better paid and better educated . Before I put drivers on a train , I try them a month or two on a pilot engine . I have never received any report , to inv recollection , - of Ward having been in the habit of passing signals unheeded , though I have seen such a report in the newspapers . The porter in charge of that train that night had been a guard of a regular goods train for upwards of three months , but , at his own request ; he was allowed to reside at a station , but had been obliged to go out as a guard of a special goods train everv week . A guard's is a very responsible situation , as from him the driver takes his signals . If the guard was that nieht between two tracks , so that he eonld not see anything , as he staled

    lie was , he was not in a proper situation , lor ! io ought to be able to sec both * before- and behind . Abbott is a very steady young man . A means of cominunlcatiou between the guard and the driver is verv much to be desired , and I hope it will soon be effected . From ilie experience Abbalt has had , although so young a man , I consider li : m fully qualified . The improvement in engines has been going on gradually , aud when it was found mere steam room was required it was made , net mere !** for the whistle , though that was important , but with , a view to the general safety and better working of tho engines . The consideration of a report against a stationmaster , for not signalling properly , would belong to the seei-ctarv and jfciu-ral superintendent of the line , in the mra-aWeii ' t ef the traffic on the line .

    Air . Tii . oju . -is Cook , grocer , oi the city of H orccster , sworn . —I was a passcm-cr on ihe down line from Worcester on the night of the oiich of August . We left Worcester at a quarter bufoii ; nine . Wc arrived at an open work bridge ( the Abbe-it ' s Wocd ) on this side Slsiiilon ; wo remained under the bridge for a few minutes , ' pci-kans ten mimites ( about six miles fro- ' -i De-kit !} ; while wailing there the up mail train to Birmingham pas : Cil , and wo were informed that the detention arose from a portion of the up line being under repair , which rendered it necessary that the mail train should pass over a portion of the down line . We then moved off , and got into a rapid speed , until wc came to Defibi-u-brid-rc , on the bh-iniugbain side of tho Heffai-d station , when I hoard a whistle from our engine , inshintly followed by a concussion that threw lis oil' the seat , and wc felt a crash behind

    us ; a momentary silence ensued , and I heard voices cry , " Jump out , " and I did so . The passengers were all scrambling up the bank much alarmed . .. My attention was iust-mliy atti-acled by -. 1 very large body of tire , which proved " to be ihe trucks on lire , ' . hat Lad been thrown upon the engines . The other engine was on the up line , or between the two , but in the confusion of the moment 1 could not exactly say , except that they were lying athwart the lines . I 5 em-iined upon the ban ! : for some minutes , during which time exertions were being made to extricate the poor man Ward , who h dead . Shortly afterwards 1 saw two 01 the carriages on live , i and a voumr man named Bark started off to Spctchlcy , and " when about a mile on our road v .

Several witnesses were examined . One witness , Dove , employed on the railway , stated tiiafc he recollected five or six instances of neglect oi signals occurring within a year and a half on tlie part of the engine-drivers , lie had reported several instances , but got no rcplv . lie did net report all the eases of neglect , because he found liis complaints WCi'G only circulated anions the guards and

    drivers , and that bad fcclinc towards himself was the consequence . Mr . Whaieley said that he felt it liis dutv , on the part of the company , to sav that tho witness had been guillj ; of great dcriliction ot duty in not reporting every instance of disobedience . It was his duty , at every hazard of iinpopularitv or otherwise , to report everv case of negligence which came under his notice ; and it was his . ( Mr . Whaleley ' s ) duty to say that the company were determined strictly to enforce that order . The inquest was again adjourned . On Thursday the inquirv was resumed , and after the examination of several additional witnesses , Vne jury retired , at halt-past four o ' clock , to consider their verdict . At eight o ' clock tlie Courtroom was thrown open a-rain , when it was stated that a verdict of " Accidental Death" had been returned in both eases , with a deodand of £ 1 , 500 ( the value of the engine , as stated by Mr .

It appears that the unfortunate man was standing at the corner of Bridge-street , after a walk which he had taken when the shop was closed , when one of the Claphaui omnibuses , No . 1 , 023 , with two spirited horses , started otf from the Kings and Keys tavern , Fleetstreet , without driver or conductor . They continued

    their speed until" they reached tlie corner of Fleetstreet , where they turned sharply round , and , before lie could get out of the wav , he was knocked down by the pole , which struck him on the right side of the head , inflicting a frightful wound from the tup of the head to the lower jaw . The wheels of the omnibus were forced off by the collision , and the vehicle was completely broken to pieces . The poor fellow was carried to the residence of Mr . Harvey , where he was seen by two medical gentlemen , and thence removed to St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital . The horses escaped unhurt .

    Dreadful asd Dj-tebjiixed Suicids of a Ladt OF Foutuxe . —On the morning of Monday the utmost excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-square , in consequence of a report that Mrs . Elizabeth Darley , of C , New Union-street , bad committed suicide . On Tuesday morning tho timo hud long passed when she should have been down to breakfast , and one of her daughters went to her bed room , but could not gain admission until the door was broken open , when tlie unfortunate parent was found suspended by a handkerchief to the bed rail . This lady was possessed of good property , aud no reason can be possibly assigned for her self-destruction , except a statement or prediction she made about twelve months since tliat she was sure she should not die a natural death , but by her own hands ;

    Death of 1 iiomas Davis , Esq . —This gentleman , who has bc-ea one cf the principal writers for the Nation newspaper since its establishment , died on Tuesdav mornimr , at his residence in Lower Ba-rgotstrcet , Dublin , after three davs' illness of typhus fever . Mr . Davis had been called to the Irish bar in 1 S 33 , but he had devoted his attention chieflv to literary pursuits . Some of the political articles and poetical pieces produced as evidence bv the Crown during the State trials , were from the pen of Mr . Davis . In politics he was ardent and thoroughly sincere , and in private life he was remarkable for a most kind and benevolent disposition . —Morning Chronicle .

    Fifty Houses Durst near Exeter . —On Monday the following deplorable intelligence was made known to the principal fire insurance-ofiices in the city , through the medium of their agents relative to a terrific co : ifia « ralion occurring at the market-town of Morioahanipstcad , Devonshire , levelling in its progress no fewer than lifty dwelling-houses , besides consuming a vast amount of property . The ill-fated town is situated about twelve miles ' west by south of tlie city of Exeter , and contains a population of about 3 . 000 . It stands rather romantically on the confines of Dartmoor , on an eminence-, and is bounded on all sides bv high lofty hills . The town comprises a long street , with two or three smaller ones leading into it-Most of the buildings are somewhat of an ancient form , and the woollen trade is its chief support .

    From letters received , it apuears that the fire was discovered shortly after midnight on Saturday morning , issuing from a baker ' s bakehouse at the rearol his dwelling-house , in one of the small throughfares , called Cross-street , between the Bell Inn and the West of England Agency-office . Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour , the most active and prompt measures were adopted bv the authorities to suppress the flames whilst in their Infancy , by calling into requisition all the buckets in the neighbourhood , and throwing a copious supply of water en the burning property . The wind , however , which was blowing rather brisk , scattered the fire on to the roof of the dwelling , which , being thatched , like most of the houses ill tho town , and iu an exceedingly dried

    condition , kindled with astonishing rapidity , extending to the several apartments of the building almost at the same moment . The houses on each side , occupied by small tradespeople , in less than five minutes after-Wards ignited , and tho ilames progressing aioinr tiic thatched roofs , six contiguous dwellings were iired . The excitement that reigned throughout the town under the circumstances may bo well conceived . A small engine was quickly brought to the scene of destruction , but the hose was in such a disgraceful condition as to render it next to useless . In the meanwhile the destructive clement raged with uncontrollable fury—house after house caught fire without the icast means being at hand to save them ; and by two o ' clock the coiiflasratlon . had assumed a most

    awiul aspect . The wnole ot the houses on one side oi Cross-street wero in onc immense blaze , and tho town being situated on an eminence , the country was illuminated for miles round , attracting thousands to the spot . It was not until thisperiod , fromsomeoversight , probably , that an express was forwarded to Exeter for tlie aid of the city engines , and for tlie subsequent two hours the confusion in the town uar , of tho most pitiable description . Iu the different streets were to bo seen families 1 tinning to the adjacent meadows , with their trilling household furniture , fearful that their respective homes would be destroyed by the progressing destructive visitation . Bv three o ' clock it may be said that the fire reached its height . It had gained the houses in Forc-sttcct , and at one time there-could not have been less than twelve or fourteen burning from their basements to the roof . The

    authorities , at this i tincture , feaviac that the whole thoiitics , at this j tincture , fearing that the whole town ivould lull a sacrifice , as there was certainly every appearance of it , wisely determined upon pulling some 01 tho buildings down , villi a view of stopping ihe eouive c-f the conflagration . A number of labourers were instantly set to cil ' ect that object in Cross-street and Fore-street , aud engines from Exeter having by that time arrived , tlie work of destruction by si :: o ' clock ta as got under . The tov . ri now presents a * most desolate appearance . Tho whole of Cressstreet , from the West of England Agency-o . 'Iicu to the Bell Inn , is new in ruins , while a part of

    Forcsti'cet presents a similar deplorable sight . The number of houses consumed is roughly calculated at fifty . Amongst them arc the premises cf Messrs . Nix and Co ., tfrapcrs ; tho Golden Lion Inn , bclongi'itr to Metsra Bellamy , and Mr . Bidder , builder . Tito ehioi ' port ion of the building property is said to be insured in the ? ava Fircofnce ; but most ofthoimnatcs , c-hicilv of the poorer classes , arc imfertuiiaU'iy utiinsurcdj and the'dcfclitiitc condition they arc thrown into , must be very severe . A similar fire has not occurred in the county for a number of years .

    winch was always haunting him day and night . There was no doubt deceased was labouring under monomania , it appeared from other evidence that the deceased left his house about four o ' clock on tlie morning of Friday last , unknown to his family , aud nothing was afterwards heart ! or seen of him until seven o ' clock that morning , when his body was found in the causeway at St . FaulVwhavf , Upper Thamesstreet , where it had been left by the-receding tide .

    Lamextamw Destructivk Fii-k . —On Sunday last , about a quarter past one o ' clock a . m ., the police-constable at Dunmcw descried a large fire in the direction of Wn ' . tiitini , and immediately communicating with superintendent Hedin , the large engine was prepill ' od mid moved to the Saracen ' s Head , to be ready for the horses ; and very shortly afterwards Mr . Isaac Livermore , from Old-1-ark-farm , Great Wallhain , on whose premises the conflagration was raging , arrived on horseback , in breathless haste . Tho oimine was immediately conveyed to tiic liiriii , o . u reaching which , however , it wfis found that the whoie of tlio outbuildings were enveloped in flames , and that exertions were almost useless , except for the preservation of the ilwoHing-houss . In a very short timo the devouring element had laid low the two iaigo barns , tliestabics , cart-shedc-, pigsties , henhouse , and granary ,

    destroying also a Millibar ol' valuable implements . There was only onc horse iu tho stable , which was fortunately saved . The wheat barn was filled with a most beautiful crop , considered flie best . Mr . Livermore ever had there , and worth ioOO . Tho barley barn , in which the fire was first discovered by the ' looker , wasalsomiitefull ; it was spacious e-ioush for a , w ; if . gun and horses to turn in it , aud said to be one of the largest , if not tho largest in Fssex . The estates belongto Guy ' s iltispitai , a-vl the buildings , valued at £ 1 , 000 , were uninsured , the governors of the hospital setting their losses ^ u such eases against the heavy sum it would require to prof cd their property . The crops ant ! implements were fully insured in tlio Essex Economic , upon whom will devolve a loss cf about £ 00 !) . There appears to be every reason to fear that this lire , whii-ii has consumed the produce of nearly 100 acres , was the work of an incendiary .

Tlie bunding being on lire , the alarm ho ! 1 was rang-, and ike engines irom tho dill ' erent denai'tiii-mi-i , with tho lioval Sap-iow

    and Miners and LU . yal Artillery , were speedily on tho spot , 'ihe iiames , by tho exertions of tlio men , wero soon subdued , tlieir ravatres being confined to tiic buildings , tho voof " cf which had been already blown ' oft " , aud same slight damage done to the . roof of an adjacent building , it would appcai-, from what has been gleaned in other parts of the . same department ( for not one of the uufoi-tunafb beings in the devoted building has escaped to furnish any iaikmation ) , that the wen and boys were as the ti .-r . e employed iu breaking up rockris , and tlu-outiii i'ome frictioii , tho whale mass accidentally ignited ; thus at once consigning seven unfiirtnuate individim . ! - ' lo instant destruction . The nair . es of the ners-Mis who thus lost tlieir lives , are

In a-klilion to these , two boys named Leonard and licnley lost tlieir lives , i ' tirtill was a labourer belonging to the storekeepers ' department , and . - . - .. 5 engaged at the time in loading rcrkrts . A man named iViiliani Keid , who was engaged with him vA ihe same time , had a verv narrow escape . It wouid appear that when the fatal occurrence took place , tlie unfortunate ,

    person-made a simultaneous rush towards the door . Unfortunately the doors ove-ned inwards , aud to this circumstance some- of the ehiof ouieera of tlie establishment attribute tlieir desfrm-iion . By the side of tlie door out of which they had vainly endeavoured to escape , their biackentd corpses were found .

It . van then agreed Unit he ( Hums ) ar . d the other prisoners should ail meet toeclhcr at the tull-gale at Itoek hVrry at

    halfpast eight o ' clock , lie and Lynch walked lo tho place together , Lvncli saving Nowinn had gone before , and Tallant , living in tliat neighbouibood . had gone homo previously . At the time appoint id all mcij lit the toll-gate , which is almost directly opposite Mr . I ' cacop ' s piiico of business . Tlie prisoners tin 11 posted themselves in various parts of tho road , bit not far from each other , Kowlan beingplticed lo walci tlie shop door lo stc when the baker (; us tl-. e deceased was called by the prisoners ) Ielc ; and when lie came uji to Tallant he was to whistle , when all were to make to the spot . Thev waited about half an hour or move , until about halt-past nine , when he ( Burns ) heard the whistle , and on going to the place found Lynch ar . d Nowlan fighting with the baker . The latter then made a struggle across tlie road , when Lynch knocked hint down with a whip lie had in liis hand . Hums described tlie whip to be tho same instrument as tha stick loaded with lend found in tlie house of Lynch , lie said there were two of them belonging to Lynch ,

    but the other had more lead at the end , and was in the possession of iSowlan that night . Aftrr Lynch had knocked the haUfcrde-Wu ho strus-gled on Ids ri-: lit side * to rise , when Novrlan struck liini 1 : 11 tlie head with 011 a of the whips , lie 1 ' eli , and Nowian threw himself upon him , and took t \ v- n . y-livc or tweuty-sixshiiiingsout of liis pocket . When t ! c baker was doivn , another person came up tlie road from towards j | o ? k Kerry . Now "» n struck at tho man ami hit him , but eouiil not teli whether he fell or not , as lie ( Burns ) ran off towards Birkenhead ; heerosscd over the road intothC ! fields , and came part of the way aloi g -he fields , lie then waited opposite a pubiic- ' hcusyaD the lower cud of Back Chcstc-r-s-trcer , where in about twenty minutes lie was joined by Nowian , who said he had got four or five and twenty shillings , and gave liim ( Burns ) a halferown . Subsequently lie received another haU ' -a-crowii {' rem Kowlan . The prisoners were again remanded , and for their greater security thov wero removed in tlie evening under escort to Chester Castle .

About seven in the evening they left in a waterman ' s boat , wijh . the intention of returning to Plymouth . On Monday morn . * ills' Mr . Fiuithiter , the i ' orema }! of the works , shortly after landing , discovered the fedy of the lad , with x basket under his arm , on the northern side of tha Breakwater , near the jetty . This discovery was tha first intimation whieh Mr . Graham had of liis loss . The boat , which was railier crank built , was in charge of . 1 man mimed Ward , and , as no account has been heard of lior , it is supposed that she went down in a squall , with the boatman and Mm . Gir .-ham and her son , soon after leaving the Break water . Tlie darkness would prevent persons on bo . u-d the shipping in the Sound frc .-n seeing such , a eatas--ti'onlie .
