• Adjootnbd Ikquibt . — -Since our lait puhllo&tlon . an attempt has been made to ' get out the remainder OfHhe sufferers * y the explosion—five men and a boy-rtfH'Of whose lifeless bodieewere found where the ; were supposed to navebeenleft ,- « ear the walls built up to prevent the spread of the fire . " fThis made nine persons to who » the shocking calamity had proved fatal , and we regret to say that since them three more of those bttrnt , but got outof tbeipit : atYve , '< have since been added to the Hit of
deceased . Theaames of the unfortunate men are—John Boltoa , son of Tbbnias Bolton , of WettneuBbtOB , aged eighteen ; . John Riley , of Wigaa , and Robert Southern , of Wigaa . Of these raen one only ( the first ) died within tflejarjadiction of-Mv Rutttr , the coroneritifthB Balforu huBdred , and tnejjarv who met recently at JUptfl wert summoned to meefsHr llutter , on the 8 th in « t . at West , hoaghton , to view . the body of Bolton , and they ithen accompanied him to the house of Mr Pendlobury , the Running Horses , Aspul Moor , to resume the evidence as > to thecauBeofthe * octdent .
¦[( The Inquest on th&six men left in the minewas held on the JJnd inst . at-Hindley , before Mr John STajes ^ when a . verdict of " Accidental death" was Returned without any adjournment—the inquest lasted about ak or seven faenrsj At the present inquest some important additional evidense was elicited . At Westhoughton Mr Rutter met with the brother of the deceased collier , and Eic&ard BaJton , and took his . depOBitionB , —to the iffect that he wasin the pit at the time of the explosion , but was gettHgolay to brick up the works , along with his brother . The last time witness saw bis brother be was taking v tub Of briokB Up the place where they were Wilding the stoppings . After the explosion three men went into the mine , and . got hii brother up very much burnt . ( The evidence of this witness was taken that he might not bis prevented ¦ from attending his brother ' s funeral tb ; n about to take place , and this fact will account for tin witness not being produced for Mr Roberta , whin asked for , as will be seen below . ] > >
The following is the evidence taken by Mr'Butter ol his arrival , with the jury at Aspul Meor , after - leaving Westbougeton to resume tiieadjourned inquest on Berry Before proceeding Mr Roberts , attormy for the friends of the deceased , aiked the aid ef the coroner in sum . moning three witnesses who had refused to attend Mr Rutter said they should see how far they' were necestary after taking the witnesses ready to be produced . Edward Jones sworn : I live at New Springs . I wa * in the mine at lace . —Mr Lancaster ' s' mine , —at the timt tlili accident took place . At the time of the explosion 1 was in the second landing from the pit eye , 800 yar < U from whence it was supposed to have occurred , 1 fell tbeforceoftha explosion where I worked . Ihadbee . i
made acquainted previously with the fact that it ras or fire , but kept on working . The smoke did not reach us and we apprehended no danger . After the explosion 1 put on my clothes and came out of the pit , ' by No . 2 , oi the upcast shaft . I went down the other shaft half ai » hour subsequentl y , to search for the men who were near the explosion . I went down with Benjamin Berry , but . two or three had gone down b fore , ' I know they had bticked up several parts to prevent the fire extending , but did not get to far as the bricking . 1 brought out the body of John Cartwri ght , who was about forty yards from the bricking . He was half in the down-brow and half in the up-brow , with two waggons , where the brick stopping was blown down , and the two wagRons , and the door were broken . He lay at the third landing ol
the big level . They had found two other of the colliers , and I helped to take them out in a waggon . The next time I went down the pit to mak . search for the fix bodies left in the mine , was about trn or elwtn o ' clock last Thursday week . I was there when some of them were found . The first one we found wur on the up-brow , where we had found Cartwright . Tim t was from twenty to thiity yards from the bricking . It was nurst whom we found first ( the man who is said to have fired the pit in the first instance . ) Wefouudtwo others down in the fweend , where they had been work io * to build up the fire , and two others we found in a drift near on 100 yatds from the bi icking ; they had gone q lite the wrong way to escape from the mine . Have not anyparticularopinion asto the cause of the explosimc ;
but we found a lamp with the top unscrewed ; it was found where they had discovered the body of John Beiry . [ Mr Lancaster here said , in answer to a question from Mr Roberts , that he could not produce the lamp , butii would be in the lamp-house , and could be seen . ] I saw tn * lamp , and there were four or five others with roe . We found many a lamp—some with the tops blown off ; one was John Cartwri bt '* . I do not know liow to account for the one being unscrewed ; some of them must have done It . They would have light enough from a lamp , I should think , to work at the bricking , and there would be no necessity for any one to take the top off for mere light ; but in the event of them having done so , it ' s my opinion the sul phur would come in contact with the light , and an explosion might be the result . I hav . worked in the mine ever since the pit was forty yard *
desp . I have fired shots iu it ofteu , and had fired on . that morning about ten o ' clock ; I had done it frenuenth before , and we did it all over . I did not consider " iY dangerous in the place whire I worked , and there ban never been any explosion in consequence , or anything o * the sort . The ventilation , where I worked , was sufficiently good—it was very good . Had heard expressionsof fear that there was danger . Had you heard any oi the men complaining of there being sulphur ! I hav ., heard them say it was bad , but not where I worked . In other parts of the mine they have complained that it was dangerous in fit © shots . Then in those parts you would not have fired shots ! No , there was a roan burnt in my place while I was sick , and away fromworU a week . Why did you fire shots then ! Ob , I have fired many a hundred : I generally know where to try it
. ByMrBoberts : Where did yon get powder f Each man foundhls own powder . In what quantities ? Ihnv . bought it by th « barrel . Was it allowed by the proprie . tors ! Yes , they all started with powder . And did tin proprietors consent to it ! They knew of it , at first , but I have heard it said they wanted to stop It . Have you ever been told by the underlooker , never to use it ! No . I have sot been coaling long . Will you answer th . question—have you ever been told by the underlooker nottouseit ! Uo , not in my time—while I have been coaling . Was the underlooker , George Evans , ever pre . sent when sou fired a shot Yea . . .
Re-examined by Mr Rutter : The coal is much eatler got by firing shots than by the pick . The bricking , I have discovered b y examination since the explosion , had not been fully made up ( the brickingneceisary to confine the fire to one place . ) When we went down on Thursday week the fire was out . He had since brought out some cinders of coal from the facing where the fire oc curred . With the exception of the lamp being unscrewd I cannot account for the explosion , unless thebrickinj ! up of the workings mi ght affect the currents of air , and drive the sulphur hanging along tho top of the workings in that direction .
By Mr Roberts ; I have worked at the colliery a good while—above three or four months ; but I had never worked in No . 1 pit before , and there was never anj sulphur in the big level , where I worked . —Did you not say a man was burnt who had taken your place when you were ill for a week ! Yes , that was while I was away , about ten weeks ago . —What was his name ! His name wm John Walls . Ho wa * burnt by the sulphur , and baa never been able to work since . I believe at that time the explosion blew up the plates at the top of the brow ( the mouth of the pit . ) Mr Roberts : Terhaps , Mr Coroner , you will take that evifteace . The Coroner ; It is hardly necessary ; we have evi . denoe of many explosions having occurred from gun . powder .
Mr Roberts : But they have been slight ones ; this was amosUerious one . Did he not break the scaffold at the top-of the pit I—Witness : It broke the cage , so that he had to take it out of the pit . I think it blew one of the doowsoff ; Walls has not tost his eye-slght ; he can see a littte * it . When that took place Walls had tried to fire two shots , but couia not get them off , and heathen went and gwrc up his lamp aad twk a candle from hit own bouse . , ' ' By the Cewnert Waa not that dangerous ! Tes .-i Should jou -work with a candle * I frequently use candles where it here is no tulpbnr , but some don't eon-Aider it safe . Mr Lancaster :: Will you ask the witness , Mr Coroaer , Jf that wac while . the other men were at work , and if it *«¦ not owing to a-door having been . opened *
Mr Rutter : T « u were not preseat when this occurred 1 j Wdtnsss : No , but Walls told me all bwtit . He went ! down earley in the morning , when there was no one in ' tbe ^ tbut himself . and he founa a door , pen which he ' hut . He tried to fir , e : it with his llgbted . candle about a yard iehind him , auA -wJsen he could not dira the train he named his lighted -tobacco pipe in , . ano then it exploded . Mr Eoberts : And dojKra think It safe . * ft « that explosisn by Walls to use gunpowder ! Wh y I should not
use it unleis I thought it was aw t very unsafe . Wie door had broug&t some sulphur into the place , and itbat would cause the explosion . Walls mu a regular eoaLMtter but had been out of work . We take the powdeTsome in bags and some in candle-bowj , I have necer taken abovea pound or so at the time of powder to this nit I recollect the colliers saying they did not Hka fc , L , ordered to stop ucing powder .

George Wilson , of Plait-lane , Wigao , sworn : I wal at the top of the pit brow ) and about to i ? o down , on tho day when the explosion occurred ; and Thomas Lancaster asked me to go down , but there were five men brought out before I went down . James Schillers then said , "Some of yeu men who have not been down , go down ;" and I . went with a party , and we wentop the big level , . md there wa « a person named Joneo and another named Berry whom we m « t , and after meeting them we went on till we came to Cartwright , and Jones then said , " I think there is one hf re dead . " , " By Mr Boberts .- ' i . Was in the habitof ming gunpowder , and of using * drill , which it wan necessary should be very sharp , and the blacksmith sharpened it . Did not know who ptid the blacksmith : he did not pay him ; never patt him . The blacksmith did not sharpen his picks . The underlooker knew he was in the habit of using . gunpowder , aud never told him not to d » it . The Coroner Nor any one else 1 No .
By Mr Roberts : I have worked there ever sinco the 25 th March . I have used a lamp . —Did you ever take the top off ! Yes , when our light was blown out by firing a shot , —How did you manage them ! We sent lhem to a man at the bottom , who had a key , —You can light a pipe by them ! Yes , I hnv « seen them that did it , but I don't smoke . —Is this the key of a lamp ( exhibiting-one )! Yes . —Mr Roberts : Why , bjesB me , aoy one . could make a key like this ; it is like a common watch-key 1 ( The first witness was here recalled , and the bottom of a safety lamp was shown him . H « said the one ud--crewed was like the bottom of that . —Mr Lancaster : lie never saw it —By Mr Roberts : It wae shown me , and I had it in my hand , but it was very dirty . like . The top was gone ] . , - . - ¦ ¦¦ ¦ .-.. ¦ ¦¦¦
George Wilson re-examined : Had never been told to work without gunpowder bofore this accident . —[ Mr Lancaster : Will you ask if , he has not refused to work nithout it !]— -Had been told since to do so and objected . By Mr Roberts ; Why ! Because I can ' t do it at the price . —Then it is only because you are paid less that > ou use it!—Yes , Then if you were paid more wages , ou would have no objection to use the pick ! I would rather use the pick than the gunpowder if I ' was paid accordingly . —Don ' t the musters always pay less where gunpowder is used ? I should think bo , but 1 have no thorouuh knowledge of it .
. ^ ViiHara Brooke sworn ; I found the lamp bottom . I found it the tame day as the explosion took place , when searching lor the bodies , I found it in the big lev » l . I don ' t know where it is now , 1 juut ' plcked it up , but did not examine it : it was not a brass one like that now produced : I cannot say iflt was unscrewed , prblewn off . I never found the top , but I found other lamps , but they wtre fast , and all right . . By Mr . Roberts : I went into the mine after Cartwright was found , but did not find any of the men . Mr Rutter here inquired from Mr Lancaster if George Evans , the underlooker , was sufficiently recovered to be examined . . . '• Mr Lancaster said he was not , and was not likely to be in a condition for tome time .
The- Coroner : Because be was engaged in building thtEe stoppings , and wnuld be most likely to give an opi-Mi on as to the cause of the explosion . If he was likely to recover we might adjourn the inquest for a fortni ght or three weeks . Hi Lancaster : Well , it is for you to consider that . The Coroner : Weii , it spptars now , Mr Roberts , we have all the evidence we can get at present ; will you state what is the purport of the evidence these men you rtlsh to have summoned could give ? Mr Roberts : t would rather not do that , sir . I would rather you would take my word that they are witnesses who , I believe , could throw an important li ght on thisexploBion . . , ¦ The Coroner : Were they in the pit at the time ! Mr Roberts : They were .
The Coroner : I have taken the evidence of one of them ( Richard Bolton ) when I stopped with the jury to view the body of his brother , at Westhoughton , and will read it you . —[ Mr Rutter then read the evidence given by Richard Bolton — the subBtance of which ib given above ;] ... Mr Roberts : Well , I have reason . to believe , sir , I can licit more important evidsnee from him were he here . The Coroner : Well then , perhaps it will be desirable ,: o adjourn . ¦ ; Mr Roberts : Well , then , in addition , I have several important witnesses here . : ' ¦ The Coroner : Very well , —then we will take their evi . < lencenow . Nicholas Glover ( called by Mr Roberts ) : — Examined by Mr Rutter : I was in the mine when this explosion wppeued . 1 was at the far end ,-in the drift . Thomas Aspinall and John Monks were with me . I had only worked there that day .
By Mr Roberts : I came out with Asuinall and Monks . Did yeu come in contact with any of these men as you left the mine ? I tumbled over some one as I was coming out . —Did the one you fell over shriek as from pain ? No , but he fetched a terrible groan , —Now as you were coming out farther on did you luar any other men ! Yes , I heard several of them crying out How many I Perhaps there might be four or five . —Did sny of . them call out to you to go to his assistance ! Yes , alter I fell over one and got a little further on with Thos .. AspinaH , I heard one shout to me , and he said * Ho V And I said 1 What do you want ? ' He said , ' bring your light , ' and I said I had not one . —How long was it after thii . that the bricking . op commenced I I don ' t know : they went down you know and sent two or three out that were burnt . —Did you go out , then ! Yes —Uqw long . was that after the bricking-up commenced ! . U was about an hour after . ¦ . ¦ , " - , . "' .. '
The Coroner : Is that evidence material after what wb have on the depositions ! Mr Roberts : Yes , I believe that persons left in-toe mine were killed by the brioking . up . The Coroner : But you must confine yourself to the evidence touching the death of these two men on whom we are holding the inquest—Berry and Bolton . Wo have it in evidence that the . bricking . up was done to prevent the spreading of the fire , and the rendering of this awful calamity more fatal , and though it may be a question if it was the most judicious course , evidence of that will not apply to these men , Mr Roberts : That depends on the value set upon life . There may be some who think the meanest life ought not to be sacrificed ; others who think the preservation oi the property more important . The Coroner to the Witness : Why did not you go down ! Because they would net let me .
Mr Lanoaater : Well let us have ihat proved up—1 distinctly deny it , and if necessary will have all the men here . . By the Coroner : I offered myself , but they wovild not let any . one go down but their own men . Mr Roberts : That ! b just what was said , in the House of Commons by Mr Duncombe , and it was denied by Mr Lancaster . The Coroner : Who prevented you from going down ! The brow-man kept shoving all but th > ir own men away . He shoved more than one—many a one . Were the men shoved away offering to go down ? I don ' t know . ( Much laughter . ) Mr RobMta remonstrated , observing that a solemn inquiry like this was not a fit occasion for laughing , and the coroner expressed a wish that no feeling of the kind might be displayed . Mir Roberts then called Richard Heathcoate as a witness , who had offered to ko down , and was refused .
Mr Rutter , the coroner , thought that this wat not evidence to the point . Mr Roberts : Well , I will not force him upon you , I only tender the evidence , but don ' t let mo be taunted with baviDg produced no . witness to prove the fact The Coroner : If this man had gone down you seek to make it appear he could have saved the lives of these mnn i Mr Roberts : The lives of several men .

The Coroner : "tSe evidence respecting gunpowder is of a . similar character , and that might be the cauao of accident , and it will probably become a proper subject for the legislature to csy if it should be disallowed .

Under existing circumstances , we cannot afford any pecuniary assistance , because most of our members and friends are either walking the streets in idleness , tramping in search of work , or are only working three or four days a week f 2 nd . We doubt not but your missionaries would attract lar « e audiences , provided there was free admission to Xhe meetings .
