EXPLOSION AT A DETONATOR FACTORY - About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon an explosion occurred at the detonator factory of the Cotton Powder Company at Oare, near Faversham, by which two persons, a man named Baines, about 30 years of age, and a boy of 15, named Bodiker, were seriously injured. The building in shich the accident happened is quite independent of the cotton powder works, and is situate at a distance of a quarter of a mile from them. This building is what is called the press-house, in which the process of filling the shells with fulminate of mercury is carried on, and in this only the two injured persons were engaged. They were in the act of filling when the explosion occurred, but from what cause it arose is not known, as the pressing machine remains intact. The finished work had been only recently cleared out, and the quantity of fulminate of mercury that exploded was less than a pound. The man's hand is seriously hurt, also one of his feet and one leg. The boy likewise sustained injury to one of his hands, which, it is feared, will have to be amputated. He was also injured at the back of the head by splinters. Medical aid was immediately sent for, and Mr. Powell of Faversham, was speedily in attendance. He administered the necessary treatment, and the sufferers were then removed to the hospital at the Faversham Union Workhouse.

FAVERSHAM
BODEKER V. THE COTTON POWDER COMPANY (LIMITED). - In the Court of Queen's Bench on Wednesday, before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury, an action was brought by Charles Horater [sic] Bodeker (an infant), through his mother and next friend, to recover damages for injuries arising out of the explosion which took place at the defendants' works at Faversham, Kent, on Feb. 12th, 1878. The defendants denied their liability. - Mr. Gorst, Q.C., and Mr. Glyn were Counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. McIntyre, Q.C., and Mr. Finlay were for the defendants. - It was the duty of the plaintiff, an intelligent lad, 13 years of age, to carry the tubes used in the manufacture of the detonators to the table at which they were filled with the explosive substance, and on the day in question he was so employed when an explosion took place, resulting in the total loss of his sight, it is feared permanently, while his right hand was shattered and blown off, and he also received other injuries, so that he has ever since been totally incapacitated from work. His appearance in the witness box excited general sytmpathy, and he gave his evidence in a most straightforward and satisfactory manner. When the case had proceeded some way Mr. Gorst said the Court would not be further troubled with it, as his learned friend, Mr. McIntyre, without admitting the liability of the defendants, had made him an offer which he need not publicly state, but which he thought it right to accept. - The Lord Chief Justice: I only hope it is a very liberal one. If I had to fix the amount it would be a very large figure indeed. - Mr. McIntyre wished to state that for ten months after the accident occurred the Company had continued to pay the plaintiff his wages, and if the boy were able to work again they would immediately take him on. He said this without admitting the legal liability of the defendants. - The Lord Chief Justice: As far as I see at present their legal liability is perfectly clear. - Mr. M'Intyre: Your Lordskip [sic] has only heard one side - A Juror was then by consent withdrawn on the terms agreed upon between the learned counsel, but which did not transpire in Court.
