CORONER AND ATTITUDE OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES.

London, June 7. The trench collapse in Surrey- road, Peckham, S.E., on June 3, in which three workmen lost their lives, was further investigated at the resumed inquest at Camberwell yesterday.

It was stated at the last bearing that the trench (for water maina) was near an excavation made many years ago for a sewer.

Arthur Nulin, sower superin- tendent to the Camberwell Borough

Council, said that the sewer was constructed in 1896. The "new trench overlapped this trench by before the accident he drew the about nine inches.. A fow days attention of two men working in

encroaching on an old trench.

The Coroner (Mr. Cowburn) told the jury that it was for them to pay whether Nunn should have told the foreman about this old trench, and not only made a casual re- mark to the workmen.

"Is not that unfortunate attitude of everybody saying 'It is not my business' the real cause of this disaster? You have the Borough engineers saying: It is not our business and the Water Board and the contractors saying: 'We knew nothing of this trench,”

The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and added the following ridera:

(1.) Wo feel that the contractors, Monars. Mowlem and Co., took n grent risk in not shoring up the trench na they went along.

(2.) Wę consider that there should be greater co-operation be- tween contractors and local au- thorities in doing work of this des cription,

WRONGFULLY ACCUS: -ED MAN'S DAMAGES.

POLICE COURT CHARGE DISMISSED.

An action for damages for al jleged malicious prosecution, brought by Mr. A. E. Lə Masurier against Mr. Edward A. Old and Mr. Solomon Melder, of Brondos- bury Park, was concluded in the King's Bench Division recently.

Mr. Le Masurler. was awarded 760 damages, and Mr. Justice | Avory, directed judgment to be

entered accordingly, with coste.

Mr. Le Masurior's casu was that ho was wrongly charged with the theft of a 108, noto and two postal orders. Ho was arrested and takon to a polico-station and charged before the Thames Police Court magistrate, who dismissed the case infter hearing evidence for the prosecution and without call- ing on him for an explanation.

The suggestion was that It was a trumped up charge against Mr. Le.. Masurier to get him out of the business in which do and: Mr. Molder, were interested and which · was becoming successful.

The jury found that the defend- ants acted maliciously.
