      Imputation to thb Home Secretary on Street Cab Funerals . — A deputation from the vestry of St . Marylebone , accompanied by Lord EbrinWton , M . P ., has waited upon Sir George Grey , at the Home-office , on the subject of street cab funerals , and the conveyance of patients in the public vehicles to the Fever' and Small-pox Hospitals . Mr . Guy referred to the daily increasing practice of cab funerals of children to the metropolitan cemeteries , and to the practice of conveying patients having small-pox or typhus fever to the hospitals , and contended that the increase of those diseases in the

      higher localities was attributable to that cause . He offered some suggestions for remedying the evil , the principal points being , that the proprietors of caba -who use them , for children ' s funerals should be finea 10 ? . in each case ; that fever and small-pox hospitals should be compelled to provide vehicles to send for patients when applied to , and that some of the ambulance vehicles used in the Crimea should be" placed by the Government at the disposal of such hospitals .

      Sir George Grey expressed his concurrence with the deputation , and the importance of dealing with it in a . sanitary point of view ; but said it was a difficult question , as persons might also get into a railway carriage which had brought a patient with fever from a long distance and catch it . He would , however , put ¦ himself into communication with the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police , and maturely consider the subject with a view to the application of some remedy for the evil . The deputation then retired .

      Liability of Batlway Companies . —At the Doncaster County Court this week , an action was brought by Mr . Henry Downes , butcher and farmer , of Bawtry , against the Great Northern Railway Company , to recover the sum of 42 ? ., the amount of loss sustained by him by the killing of three young horses on the night of the 12 th of January last , owing , as the plaintiff alleged , to the negligence of the servants of the defendants at the Bawtry railway station . The horses passed through a - gate belonging to the defendants ,

      which leads into the coal-yard attached to the station , strayed on to the line of railway , and , a train passing at the time , they were all knocked down , two being killed on the spot , and the other so much injured that it was shot soon after The Judge told the jury that it was the duty of the company to keep shut the gate through which the horses passed on this occasion . The only question was , whether the plaintiff ' s servant had been guilty of any negligence . The jury returned a verdict for the full amount sought .
