The Train Consisting Of Six Carriages , ...
The train consisting of six carriages , and d rawn b y one of the company ' s new and powerful engines , had reached the Luddenden Foot Station , w h en a r ai l breke on the down line opposite the station , and threw the last carriage of the train off the line . At the moment the carriage was thrown off the line , the two guards were both inside their respectire carriages , and the driver , not being aware of the accident , continued his career at the accustomed speed . All this while the carriage thrown off the line continued to' bump' most dreadfully against tbs sleepers , moch to the alarm ef the passengers , who were thrown into a stats of the greatest possible terror . Fortunately there were only five passengers in this
carriage , the body of which was fitted up for second-class passengers , with a coupe at either end for first-class passengers . Ia the coupe nearest the engine were seated Mr W . It . Weston , one of the surveyors-ifcneral of the Cue . toms , London ; Mr T . Moon , of London , his secretary , and Mr Gfiiiard , a gentleman in tlio employ of the electric telegraph company , and residing in Wakefield . In tke other coupe were seated , Captain Ellis , of the Board of Trade , a gorernment Inspector , and his assistant ; they miraculously escaped with a few slight cuts and bruises . No one on the line noticed the accident until the train passed , through the tunnel , where some plate-layers observed the . carriage off the line . They shouted to the engine-driver and to the guards , bu t t he noise drowned
the warning cry . Upon emerging from tha tunnel the disaster was immediately observed by the clerks ond men employed at the station , who s hou t ed and mo t ioned to the driver and guards that something was amiss . The guards , however , were insid e , and the rain descended in torrent * at the time . According to the time bills the down train is not appointed to stop at Sowerby-bridge , running direct from Todmorden to Dean station , where it is due at two . o ' clo c k . It passed the Sowerby-bridge station about seven minutes after two o ' clock , about which time the accident happened . The moment the train was observed , an' alarm was raised at the . station , a terrible accident being inevitable ; and ia a few momenta after the train passed th « station , the awful catastrophe occcurred .
From the tremendous 'bumping' of the carriage , it was evident that the under . works were much damaged , and when opposite the platform on tha down line , the two hind wheels were wrenched off and burled across the line . A few paces further on is an ash pit , and which . occasioned the overthrow of the carriage on to its broadside with a . fearful crash . ; A scene now occurred which , almost defies description . The dilapidated carriage was dragged a distance of from , twenty to thirty yards , by which the body of Mr Oiilard was mangled in the most dreadful manner possible . Whether he was attempting to leap onto ! the carriage or not does net appear ; the probabilities are , that owing to the dreadful force with which the lower part of the carriage was dashed against the . sides of the ash pit hi * feet slipped through the bottom . Both his legs were literallv
torn from his body ; one foot , with the boot , was found so firmly fixed in the' points / that a bar of iron had to bs used with considerable force before the mutilated limb could be extricated . The other foot , with a portion of the leg , was found at the distance of twenty yards further down the line , and several bones and pieces of flash torn fr o m th e body , were scattered over the line . Notwithstanding these severe injuries , the unfortunate gentleman breathed onca or twice after he was taken up . His dress was torn to pieces , and his shirt even riven to rags . Mr Weston was thrown out of the carriage . His left leg was found to be contused in a most shocking manner , a severe gash upon the right thigh , with dreadful injuries upon the head . Mr Moon ( secretary to the above gentleman ) also received a wound on the head , by . which he was rendered insensible .
Immediately after the accident , information was telegraphed along tho line , and Capt . Blnstead , R , N „ was in a short , time at the scene of the disaster , and instituted a rigorous inquiryJnto the origin of the calamity . The line was carefully examined , and tho fatal accident was discovered to have been occasioned by tho sudden breaking of a rail opposite the platform of the Luddehden-foot station . Some plate-layers had only examined that portion of the lina about an hour and a half previously , and found it all right . What occasioned the sudden breakage must remain a mystery ; but how a railw ay carriage shaiild be allowed to be off tho line , and plou g h
up the earth for a distance of upwards * of two miles , without , being discovered by the guards in charge of the train , requires to be accounted for . . No doubt a searching judicial investigation will take place , pending which we shall withhold s a y op inion we may entertain on the subject . It is to be hoped , ' however , that the attention of railway superintendents and other * will be directed to the difficulty which at present exists , of the guard in the rtar of a train communicating with the engine driver ; and that s ome p lan may a l so be d e vised , by which a communication may be made between the passengers in each compartment and the guards in charge of tho trais , should occasion require .
The inquest on tho sufferers b y the accident on Thursday was held c-a Saturday afternoon last , at the Royal Hotel , Sowerby Bridge , before Mr J . Dyson , coroner , and a highly respectable and Intelligent jury . Captain Blnstead , R N ., the sup erintesdentj . Jfr Hwktbw , the engineer , a nd num e r o us o t her witnesses , were called , and subjected to a levere examination . It was clearly shown from their statements that no blame whatever attached to the officers of the company , Tho accident appeals to nave been caused by the breaking of a rail , and t < e eoniequtnt oscillation of the coups , which was the last carriage •/ the train of seven carriages ; that the
train was under the guidance of two guards and thrse breaks ; and that the former were duly at their breaks , which were applied the moment the carriage was discovered to be off the rails . The jury ultimately returned the following verdict : — 'Verdict—Accidents ! Death . The jury cannot separate without suggesting the necessity of having a luggage or ' break van attached to the end of each express train , as anadditional security to . the passenger carriages , and to obviate the dangers arising from the gnat oscillation of the last carriage ; and they would also recommend that some mode of com-< nurie * t ' eo should be adopted between each carriage

The act allows theeummons to be left at the place of abode . of the offender or witness , and a long conversation ensued on the propriety of proceeding to Judgments jwte in f . CO of theprcsumption or proof that the summons had not reached the . party .

SOUTHWARK . — AsiAtjtT . —R . Haines , whohasbeen in custody since the commencement of July , was finally examined , charged with seriously injuring Jane M'Caslaud , aged 16 , by inflicting a kick . In the early part ol J u ly , the prisoner , wMIe leading an . intoxicated woman along White-street , in the Borough , was followed by a crowd of boys and girls . The c > mp ! aiuaht , wfco was passing along at tho time , stood for a moment to look on , when the prisoner dropped his drunken charge on the pavement , and running op to the poor girl , gave her a severe kick , from the effects of which she has been suffering ever since , and her life at one period was
considered to be m danger . She was how sufficiently convalescent to attend , and in the course of her examination she stated that on the day tke assault , was com mtttsdshe stood merely a silent spectator of what was going forward , when he ran towards her , and wi t h a shoe on his foot ( produced ) studded , with nails , he inflicted the injury which had ever since confined her to her bed ; and from the effects of which alio was still suffering . Tha prisoner said he regretted what had oc . curred , but that he was intoxicated , or he would no * have acted in tho manner described . T he pri s oner was then committed for trial for tho assault .
Assaulting the Police Wiiliam Farrington , a strong . built man , a corn . porUr , was brought before Mr Cottingham , charged with violently assaulting William Gray , a policeman Of the L division , in the execution of his , duty . It appeared that the assault was committed ten . days ago , . hut the policeman , owing to the serious nature of tho injuries inflicted on him by feis assailant , was incapacitated from attending until the present oc casion . From his statement it seemed that on last Sat urda y week , while on duty in Ssamford-slrect , hearing a di st urbance , he went to the spot , and saw the defendant and another man quarrelling and going to fight . He immediately interfered , and , having separated the combatants , he advised the prisoner to go home with his wife , who was present on the occasioj . The moment ,
how e v e r , the policeman interfered ha was knocked down by the prisoner , and w he n h e recov e re d h imself h a seized his assa'hnt by the collar to take him to the station-house . The prisoner said that he would go their quietly , if ; the policeman would let go his hold of him , and the . latter consented , but this was no sooner done , and the prisoner at liberty , than lie made a . furious attack on the policeman , whom he knocked down a Be . cond time , and while he was lying on the ground gave him several severe kicks on the body ,, one of which was given with such force as to severely injure the lower part of his spine , and he was disabled from , securing his assailant . Other policemen , however , coming up at the time , the prisoner was taken into custody , but owing to the ' extreme violence of his conduct , and t he stren gt h he displayed on the occasion , they were compelled to fasten him . down on a stretcher , ; nridvih that condition carry
him between them to the station-house . The policeman , who was so seriously hurt , added , that in consequence of the injury inflicted on his body by the kicks he re . celvad , he had' been laid up ever since , and was still unable to attend to his duty . A tradesman who witnessed the assault said , that the moment the policeman interfered to quell the fight between the prisoner and his antagonist , the former immediately attacked him in the way described ,, and kicked him while on . t he g round . The prisoner said that he was struck iu the first instance by the policeman , and that was the reason he retaliated . A foreman , in the sam e em p loy as t he p risonsr , spoke of him as . a quiet welt-behaved man , and that it was the first time his employer had heard ho was engaged in ss disgraceful a transaction . Mr Cottlnghnm said lie should convict him , and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment .
LAMBETH . —Gentlemen of the Law , —Mr J , Smith , who describes himself as a solicitor , of No . 4 , Bury-street , StJ Mary-axc , but whose name does not appear In the ' Law List , ' and whose right to practise as an attorney has . been frequently questioned at this court , appeared , to answer to a summons charging him with assaulting MrG . F . Carden , a b a rri st er , residing iu Gate-street , Lincoln ' s . inn-fitlds , by spitting in his face . The defendant , who represented himself os the solicitor of Messrs Bovrd and Co ., auctioneers , agents ,
& o „ of 12 ,. Wormwood-street , City , and t , Bury-street , St Mary : axo ( the place where he , Smi t h , represented bis offioas to be , j had been negotiating with the complainant for delivering up to himaotne premises in Lambeta calk belonging to him , and some disagreement having arisen between them , , tho defendant spat is . the complaiaaat ' sfare . Mr Elliott observed that the act ol the defendant was one of a very filthy descriptieu , and convic t ed him in t he hi ghest penalty of £ 5 , or in default thereof to one month ' s i m p risonmen t . Kot being prepared with tho needful , the defendant was locked up .
UtWeiko'Foboed Cheques . — Mr Charles Hicks , tho son of a general officer , and who has been in the army himself , was brought before Mr Elliott for final examination , on various char ge s o f . obtaining money npon false and fictitious cheques . , The prisoner , it appear s , has succeeded , by drawing cheques to tho order of o ffic e rs of M e ssr s C o x a nd Greenwo o d , and other respectable army agents , in making many victims . The evidence iu four or fire clear cases was taken , and the prisoner was fully committed for trial , CiOTioM to Pawnebokees . — Mr William Di c k e r , p awnbroker , Lower Marsh , Lambe t h , was summoned at the Instance ' of Hjet ' , the common informer , t o show cause why he demanded and received from John Stringer , a greatir interest than the law allows . John St r in g er
deposed , that on the 28 th day ot May last , he pledged a watch at the shop of Mr Dicker , for . £ 12 s , and oh redeeming it on the 6 th of tho present mouth , he was charged £ l 5 s 6 $ 3 the same being three farthings be . yond the legal iu-erest . Parker , the foreman to tho defendant , assured the Magistrate that in no other sum than that for which the watch was pledged could such a mistake take place as that of charging thei extra three farthings . The overcharge , he declared , was a mistake , and one for which Mr Dicker was very sorry . Mr Elliott olserred that the overcharge of tliree f * rtUlhgs was clearly illegal , and convicted the defendant in a penalty of forty shillings and costs , whleh were immediately paid .

The prosecutrix deposed thst on Saturday evening last she went te the shop of Mr Johnson , a grocer in Highstreet , not far from her own dwelling , to make some purchases , bu t findin g t ha t t he plate was ' so full that there would be a probability of her not being served for k considerable time , she was about to make her egress , when she was stopped by a constable in plain clothes , who asked her . if she "had lost anything . She immediately pother hand in her pocket mid discovered that her purse , containing hnlf-a . crown , 2 s ., and some copper money , had been stolen . Hilisden , 12 , S ( the constable alluded to , ) said that ho distinctly saw the prisoner
draw a purse from the pocket of the prosecutrix and pass it from her left to her riRhc hand . Witness laid hold of her , and on hearing the lady declare that she had been robbed , she ( tho prisoner ) dropped the purse on the floor ; she criedland begged to be forgiven .

The prisoner , ' on being asked what ' she had to say , replied that sho was very hungry , t . rid ; two or three other girls had induced her to do what i she did . Mr Broughion remarked that he was sorry to be compelled to send one of such tender years for trial for felony , but he could not do otherwise in this instance ' than adopt , that course . The prisoner was accordingly committed . '

MIS . —Elizabeth Donovan , a p oor Iri s h girl , who had been several times committed f ; r smashing windows because she could not get a living in London , or a con veyance to her native land , appeared before Mr Alder , man Gibbs , to repeat her application for one or the other , or ' both together , ' as the poor forlorn cwature expressed herself . Upon being charged some time ago with having committed one of those outrages by which she hoped to gain at least the shelter of a prison , she was sentenced by the Lord Mayor to be imprisoned in Bridewell . She attempted to strangle hersilf , and on being again brought up was sent to the Compter , her commitment having been indorsed with the direction to the keeper to cause her to he watched .
HaviRg-apparently rccovired from tho mental disquiet under which she had been suffering , she was discharged , and as her circumstances did not improve since that iim » , she again applied at the Mansion-house . Alderman Gibbs . —What have you bet-n doing since you were hero ? The defendant . —Oh , then , your honour , I took the shilling 1 got when I was d ' ucharRed from tho prison , and I bought a rope with it to hang myself ; and sure enough Id have done it stiff enough , but I thought I'd call in upon the priest in the London-road , as your lordship advised me ,- Alderman Gibbs . —And what did the priest tell you ? The defendant . —Oh , faith ! He said sureenosgh that it was the devil that tempted me ; and it was well for that I got over the temptation , or I'd have suffered In body aad sowl . Alderman Gibbs . — Well , I hope jou have reflected upon his . advice ? Tho defendant . —Oh , ' t hen , upon my . . word I have , and ho gave mo quite a cure fir the temptation ; and here it is . ([ fere the poor girl prot ' ucid a small leaden imago of
Christ on the cross , under which were written the words Mgnus Dd , ' ) Ha towld me if I'd think of this , and take it out and kiss it whenever I'd any bad thoughts , they'd all vanish like ghosts . Alderman Gibbe . —And yau . never had any bad thoughts since ? The defendant . —Never the least , your honour . Alderman Gibbs . —It never entered your head to commit self-destruction from that moment ! The defendant . —God bless you ! never . Alderman Gibbs . —Well , you shall have something to supply your present wants , and I dare say , if you apply to the parochial authorities of St George ' s-in-the-Fields , where I understand you h ive bceu lodging , they will pass you to Liverpool . The defendant ' . —Why , then , the Lord bless your honour I' sure I'll eo . Alderman Gibbs then gave thedeteridnnt , who declared that she could easily get once more into service at Liverpool , some silver , to enable her to make a decent appearance , and said to her , as she was gratefully taking leave , 'I say , yung woman , follow your pritst ' s advice .

He looked
closely at the writing , and found the words « corner 0 f > in very snvill letters ; placed close to the words ' On . 'orJ . street . ' This cvhient attempt at imposition made him resolve to try tho question of the legality of the eon . duc t or ' s demand . Mr . Hardwick considered it was as ' , fair towards the public that the words should ba & placed on an omnibus as to induce people that the roufe of a vehicle was in a particular direction , when the fact was not so . The defendant had , howevtr , positively de . dared that he named Duke-strcet when he got into the omnibus , and he must dismiss the summons agaisst him .

A {« , minutes after she eot into tho park tho young mm at . tempted to kiss h r . She had hardly time to requetf him to desist , before a police constable came from btkioj a tree , laid hold of her by the wrists , and toht Lir ha should take her to the station-house . She asked what for . The constable said for behaving indecentl y iiu hs

SI . e insisted on knowing the sit : of indecency theconstable charged htr with . - ' The ' constable did art explain himself , and she then said she would not bs taken to the station-house under such circumstances A crowd of person ^ assembled , and as she became much alarmed at the police constable's determinztion . fhesEBt for her mother . Her mother came , and they tka all pr «<» c « dedto Vine-street station-house , when thepoliw constahU made his charge , but the inspector on dutyrt . fused to take it , and she was liberated . The defendant asked her if she did not refuse to go to the station-hoaH when he first took her into custody , and if she did not try to stoop under the railings to get awav ? The com . plainant replied that she did refuse to accompany tha
constable to the station bouse , and that when the ' eon . stable twisted her wrists in order to forca her alontr , « he did try to get under the railings . The defendant asked her if she did not say ht > should take her on a stretcher to the station-house ? Tho complainant replied that when the constable told her he should take htr to the station house , she said she would go if a cab was brought , as she did not like to be taken through the public s t ree t s The constable replied , 'A cab ! oh no we don ' s take such as you in cabs , we take ' t m on s stretcher !

Mr Hardwick said , tho instructions given to the police stationed in tho
park were of a very peremptory character , in constquenceof the many complaints that were made ofimproprieties in the park after nightfall , still it was evident that in tho present instance tho constable , in tha excess of his zeal , had very ranch exceeded his duty . His in . struciions were intended to apply to well-known lsosa characters , and it was indispensable , therefore , in carry , ing them into effect , that ' he should Kse discretion and discrimination . It was evident the constable in this case had not used due discrimination , and he , therefore , mas t caution the constable to bo mor e circumspect in future , The constable was then discharged from custody .
