The Week
a short time there were found some colliers heroic enough to risk their lives in their endeavours to save those of their fellow-Workmen . When the foul air had sufficiently cleared of for a descent , several colliers volunteered , and the bodies of fourteen workmen were brought up . There are also seven dead horses in the -pit .- Mr . J . P . Brown , Secretary to the National Brazilian Mining Association , was summoned before Alderman Salomans to answer a charge of indecent assault upon an Irish servant girl out of place , named Catherine Pursell . She represented that the defendant had enticed her into his office , in Throgmorton Street , under
pretence of finding her a situation ; but her story was a tissue of contradictions ,, and appears to have been got up by her c ' friend , " a lawyer ' s clerk , for the purpose of extorting money . Mr . Brown was therefore discharged with an unblemished character . ——Thurgood and Biley , who have undergone several examinations , on a charge of conspiring to defraud Mr . Christie , a distiller , of Liverpool of whiskey , value < £ 800 , have been committed for trial , and bail refused . At Ilford ., James List and William Saville , grave-diggers , were charged with breaking into a vault , under Christ ' s Church , Stratford , and stealing a copper coffin . List was admitted
as approver , when he stated that they had first taken the copper coffin , and afterwards a leaden one , both of which were broken up and sold . A marine store dealer , named John Brett , has been apprehended as receiver . He was remanded for a week , reserving his defence . ——Hugon and Beverdy were brought up on remand on Monday , charged with conspiracy for coining Turkish money . They were again remanded . Thomas Moss , clerk of Birmingham , has been brought before the magistrates , charged with being concerned with Antonio Calvoeoressi , areacly committed , in the Turkish coining affair . Calvocorressi and Moss were
convicted on Wednesday before the Recorder of Birmingham . A respite was prayed : judgment was postponed till . next session , and the convicts were liberated on hail . —Another man has been apprehended as being concerned in the fabrication of forged notes of the Bank of Russia , on which three men were last week examined at Lambeth police-court .
