By the Coroner—The bullock went to the fence just as I was going by him. He was close to the rail of the fence when I but saw him, head foremost. By Mr. Ward —The rail of the fence would be shout 18 lochs' high, as near as I can gums. A wide ditch wee on the other side, looking to be five or six feet wide, and about three feet deep. By Mr. Edwards—The fear inclines towards the ditch. By Mr. Ward—l did report the fact of rein the two bullocks. No difference that I law was made in the fence after that repots. By the jury —There is a crossing near where the carriages went. The gates were shunt on the; Monday. I saw no bullocks on that morning. Mr. T. Mantes Kendall said—l was a passenger by the first train on Monday evening. I rode on the engine. After leaving Wootton station my attention was called to bullock leaving the line by the driver whistling. After I had arrived home I was sent for and told there was an accident. I drove up to the station, and went by train to the spot. I looked out for the living, and did not then see Mr. Laird. We collected all the wounded we could find, and returned with them to Lynn. I returned again to the spot. The second time I got back I found five dead bodies. They were Mr. Laird, Mrs. Clarke, Miss Palmer, Miss Clarke, and Mn. Brown. The bodies presented • much mutilated appear-' anee. I did not recognise poor Laird at first, I saw the remains of • carnage. I saw two or three bodies lying under the carriage when I first went down. I saw Mr. , Black bring two or three out. By Mr. Pitcher—l was on the engine of the 7.45 train. I bad not the same opportunity of seeing as the driver. After we bad passed the bullock I observed how dangerous it was. I had forgotten all about the bullock when I had got to Lynn. 1 did not observe whether it was a repeated whistle or a leogthened one. It is not a weal thing to ride upon the engine. I jumped on because the carriages wore full. By Mr. Ward—We travelled at the usual speed. I noticed no light at the gate-house.

The first time was last Sunday evening. lam now speaking from my own knowledge, and not what I have heard. I was at the crossing line, close to the place where the heifer was struck on the Monday, and I saw a heifer there walking across the rails, uif it was straying on the line. I said to my eon, " If she's left it will very likely cause an accident." I gave my son directions, and we drove it off the line. It went beyond a potato patch, and then returned and went over the rails by the telegraph post into Mr. Blomfield's field. I maw • dozen other beasts feeding on those pastures. That is all that occurred oa the Sunday night. The next time my attention was called to • similar circumstance was on the rooming after the accident. I was standing, with Mr. IL Royston, of North Wootton, cc the line between eight and sine o'clock, and he touched ray arm and pointed to a heifer that had just got over the fence. I did not see her get over, but she was within a foot of the tence with her tail to it. One of the company's men turned the heifer towards the fence, and she walked over at the same place. I think the fenoe near where the acci dent occurred, according to my judgment, is the worst I ever raw, and is perfectly inadequate to keep bullocks off the line. I measured the ditch in company with Mr. Beloe ; its width was 11 feet, and the depth 2 feet 6 from the level of the land on both sides, solid ground at the bottom, shelving sides, and the rail above was lees than 11 inches in height. It scarcely inclined to the ditch—very small indeed. The teem has been in that state ever since it was put up, except that the ditch was • wet ditch then. I have seen water in the ditch, but I cannot my what depth. If it were fall of eater I do not think the cattle would go in, and they mould slip down the aides in attempting to get nut. I had had my attention repeatedly called to the state of this fence before the Sunday. As soon as it was put up, I rid it was • sufficiently good tiptoe against stock. I did not complain to the company or to any of their servants. I have been present with Mr. Blomfield, my von, Mr. R. Royston, and others, when observations were made about the fence. I was at Wootton-station when the train passed. It passed at • very rapid rate. In my judgment it was going full forty miles an hour. I had seen the previous train pass not more than eight minutes at the outside. It was leaving the 'tattoo where it bad Mopped at • slow speed. I saw it after it had left opposite the pit where the ballast was obtained for the line. I saw a train this morning at the same place, and it took 35 seconds to reach the station. I went to the spot after the accident on Monday night. I reached there, I should think, about 20 minutes after the last train bad left Wootton station. As far as I recollect, the engine, Moder, and three carriages were on the line. Oa the North Wootton side of the cross iog there were the remaining carriages that had kept the line—l think bevel). They were suoding by themselves. The one nearest to Lynn was an open carriage, third close. The first detached carriage, which I believe was a first clue, was on its wheels, and the sod of the next carriage nearest North Wootton was jammed into the next, which was 'Leading on its wheels. The next was • second or third class on its side, the roof inclined towards the field, shored up underneath by a sleeper. Through a hole which had been broken in the roof I saw the dead body of the young woman, and a young man told me he had sat by her side. The back of the car riage wee broken. It appeared to be an old body put on a new carriage. 1 did not take the number of it. Some of the wood was very rotten. You could crumble pMoes of it with your hand. The next carriage was standing in the field about 7 feet off the boundary of the line. That was sound, with the exception of a little unimportant damage. I saw the dead bodies of the killed, sod I was present and ready to give any amistanoe towards extricating them. I gave mine to all the wounded I saw requiring. I should think the company's servers did all they could to assist the hurt. Accidents are • new thing to them. By Mr. Pitcher—The fence was sot broken down at all. The fence next the potato ground was higher, but there was no ditch behind that. The height from the bed of the dyke would be 3 feet 5. . . . By abr. Ward—l have not been told of a pony being killed at that point. By Mr. Edwards—With water in the ditch it was not a bad fence. I considered it a bad fence from the know ledge that at some tires of the year that ditch would be dry. [Plan produced.] I have seen cattle on the drove, from which there is a level creasing over the line, and also a com munication by gate from the drove to Mr. Blomfield's pas ture. Many pertain exercise the right of going up and down the drove. I never saw an animal go on. I could drive a cow over any part of the fence between the field and the rail. I cannot say that it was the same animal. It bad the genie appearance as the brute that was killed. I know some animals have very exceptional habits. Some will jump at anything. It is not within my knowledge that these animals have bad the run of the country. There are no sods at the foot of the rail. I knew that people in Lye. had charge of the railway. I knew the *elicitor's office, the station master, and my impression of the danger was not sufficient to induce me to complain. It was not my business. Complaints had been made by other Indies. I cannot swear to the speed of the train. I cannot give the number of the carriage I have minutely inspected ; it is on the ground now. It was that part of the body where it is joined to the platform that was rotten. The end which was diime in was exceediegly rotten. I have a small piece at home which is rotten. I should think it is decayed a couple of inches. I don't suppose it had anything to do with the accident. 'only mention it to show that I have noticed the carriages. By Mr. Bloomfield—l gave you a piece of the rotten car riage. That was the one where the dead profile were. By Mr. Edwards—There are fences in the marshes, which are mere ditches. _ . . . . . By the Coroner—Looking at the fact of the country being need for grazing, the fences are in my judgment wholly inadequate. Mr. Haylock—The field runs about 300 yards from the hoe. I only measured one place, where the heifer went Over. - . . . . . . By the Jury—The fence varier io height, the highest part being about 21 inches and the lowest 11. By the Coroner—When 1 law the train pus Wotton. station it struck me es a very rapid rate. Mr. Robert Shears—l have pasture land on the line, about half a mile from the Gaywood pte- he. My lan d runs about two furlongs down the line. The company put up a fence for me, a middling fence, about 44 feet high. I have complained to the men on the line of the lambs getting through. Sometimes one and sometimes two have got on. The other part of my land is on the other side of the Gay wood croesiug. I have had two heifers get on the line. There is no fence, only • sock dyke, lad never was any fence. I complained about it to MrliKemp, one of the foremen on the line. It was some time in June. No step were taken to rectify it. Where I OM speaking of was abort 200 yards from the Gay wood gate-house. It is about two months ago since my bedew were no the Bee. The man at the gatehouse put one off himself. I think that was the second time. I have seen him put lambs off, and I told him that some day or other an arcident would happen. My cattle often get on now, and there in nothing to prevent them doing so except • sock dyke, which is dry in places. By Mr. Edwards—The depth of the dike is from 31 feet to 4 feet. The sides of the bank are not steep. My boy has fetched cattle back. The ditch is 7 feet wide. I often have cattle there, and I have only known two beasts being on ; sheep severaltimes. The dyke is not wholly dry now ; there is mud in it ; but there has not been • foot of water for two months. I would swear that. Mr. Edwards said he could not understand how far this sort of evidence was to go. The Coroner said it showed • general carelessness as to the fence*. Mr. halwards mid the state of Mr. Bagels fences could not be within the scope of the inquiry. The Coroner said it seemed to him to be quite within the rope of the inquiry. The railway company were bound by the set to provide efficient fences, and he could not there fore exclude such evidence. he did think it decent to prolong the discussion, but he wished • note to be taken of the objection. At this stage of the inquiry the wart adjourned for half an hour. Thomas Wakefield said—l am carriage and waggon ex aminer to the Great Eastern Railway. 1 examined the ex cursion train before it left. There was but one from Lyon and one from Cambridge. I examined all the nonage.. The train Boyce drove had fourteen carriages when he left in the morning. There was one filet-clam, ooe second, eleven third, and one break. I was at Lynn when the accident happened. I went to the spot of the accident about haff-pest nine. The first thing I did was to take the train as it stood. The firstearritge was a third-clam, next to the engine, No. 305 ; the coupling-iron was all right. The next was • secood-clima 313 ; the next, thirdsilaas, 76; the next, first-class, 78 ; the next were third-clans, Noe. 51, 279, 244, 55, 131, 209, 177, 211, and 222; the next, a second-clam, 10 ; next, a third-clue, 54 ; break-van, 26. 1 cannot my which were the oldest amongst them. They were all in good working order, fit for any amount of bumbles'. I can not my what sort of carriage it woe in which the young lady was killed. No. 76 was the beet off the line. It is a six-wheel carriage, and only one pair of wheels were off. That carriage was not injured at all. The nest was a first-clans, No. 78, which was lying partly over. No. 51, third-clam. was lying quite on one side, and was much damaged. One end of the body was broken quite in. No. 278 was lying o ff the rails, not so much damaged so the other. The next, 244, was on the rail. It was disconnected from the others at the time I saw it. The next carriage was 55, third class; this canine is broken all to pieces, and is now lying there. The next, 131, is now standing in the Reid. That is riot injured except as to the doors, which was done by the passengers getting out. So that the 4th, sth, 6th, Bth, and 9th were off the line altogether. The beaten carriages are sent up to Stratton'. None of which I have been speak init had bees sect to Stratford an worn np —oar tsioly not. I cannot my whether one of them had been to Stratford and repaired.

It is the porters duty to strew up the coupling irons. It is my duty to see that they are done. If they are well screwed up and the eosins pares over anything there is little probability of anything happening, except something brew. There is no person at Hunstantou for the purpose of seeing to the couplings. Some of the couplings were broken when the accident happened. By Mr. Pitcher—All the carriages I name were not those I went out in the morning ; most of them wen. I had to cat some of the coupling irons to get the curare free. I do not know the name of the driver of the Sunday train. It was a Wisbech engine. I did not see Mr. Laird until after he had been brought out. By Mr. Edwards—lt is my duty to examine the carriages, and if they an not in working order I stop them. With regard to Honstantoe, as the trains go out they usually come in. The carriages off the line were all six-wheel carriages. They wereof good material No. 51 was removed to Lynn. I was present when it was shown to the jury. No. 55 is thrown completely over with the wheels upwards and the body completely mashed. There is no distinction between the kind of carriages used for excursions and other raffle. I saw the trainafter the accident. It was enough to break any coupling. I examined the couplings, and they were of very good iron. By the Coroner—That would depend upon the length of the train and the speed at wbich it was going. By Mr. Edwards—We have a book in which entries are made of repairs. By the dorooer—Sometimee we bate not any spare car riages at the Lynn station in wintertime. They go to Stratford. Mr.awards—That is the depot of the company. It is not an asylum for broken-down carriages. Robert West, engine fitter and extra fireman, said—l was acting as fireman of the train which left Hunstantoo at one minute past 8. We stopped at Sioettislssen and Wolterton only. f was with Jae...keep. I law the bullock nearly as soon as Jackson did. He whistled. He said. " Hold on, mate ; put the break on." I did so. Just as I was putting the break cio I felt the engine give a jump. I put the break on steadily at first, and then increased the preasure until we came to a stop. It was but a few 'moods before we tame to a stand. The bullock was nearly 40 yards off when I tint saw it. After the train came to stand, Jackson said "Is our engine all right?" flocked at the steam gauge and class, and then we both got off. We then came back to our engine. We saw the carriages off the line. I saw Miss Palmer's dead body lying on the ground near the carriage, which was turned bottom up wards. . . By Mr. Ward—l assisted Jackson in *resisting the engine before we left Hiuntanton. I saw no or test the carriages. The whistle was for the guard to pot on the break. Whether he did so or not, Ido not know. Having the break put on t in front and not being put on behind would have no effect on the train in a distance of a hundred yards. By Mr. Edwards—l have been I. the company's service six years. We were not travelling more than 28 miles an hour. 1 felt no jerk from behind. Mr. Edward Blomfield, farmer, of Wootton, rid—l Grapy land which is eavered by the railway. I corny about 32 acres. It is all pasture. I have occupied it five years. I have always fed it, and I have had as many as 19 bullocks on it at or time, and sometimes 300 sheep. I made a corn. munication to the company twice upon the 'object of the fences. In July (he thought the 20th and 28th) be went to five men on the line putting earth under the sleeper. I made a communication to them, which I was induced to make arum my stock being au frequently on the line. I had seen my stock on many times. I have not seen more than two on myself. I have seen them on seven or eight times. I am talking of the summer. I have seen them five times io July. I saw one heifer on about ten minutes before the train came last Thursday week. A dog drove it over the fence oo the east aide. It was one of my bullocks. I had then 18 in the field. I really cannot say how long my fence is. I should say it is between 200 and 300 yards. I should cer tainly say there is no proper feaoe for preventing my beasts getting on the line. 1 have told the man at the Gsywood crossing about it—l think, last Tuesday week. He said he went down to North Wootton, arid that they were repairing it as fast as they could—making a wire fencing, he said. No wire has been put upon my fence. It has not bete touched. I have not seen any bullocks and sheep on the line besides my own. I never wrote to the company about it. I complained to Mr. Kemp lest Tuesday morning after the accident. They had been on, and a shepherd put them off. I can prove it, but I did not see them. Kemp said the workmen bad written to him, and that they were repairing the fence as fast as they could. The average height of the fence is fifteen inches, some parts more than that. The highest, where there is no ditch, a about five feet, the lowest is eleven inches. In my opinion the fence was wholly insufficient for the purpose of keeping off the stock, and I told the gentleman from London so on the Tuesday. The ditch is about three feet in average depth. • KING'S LYNN, FRIDAY Maur. The following additional evidence was given after the last train left for London this afternoon. _ . . Mr. iloomfrald'a evidence °manned—(By Mr. Edwards) —1 wanted them to begin the wire fencing at the place where the cattle got over. I saw them at work last Mon day night, and between 5 and 6 o'clock they left off work, having knocked down the fence, and left it unguarded all night. There were three cattle at the time—cows. They were afterwards taken out. I should say that they were taken out after the fence was knocked down, but I will not swear to it. I was the tenant of this field, but did not receive a farthing compensation. I took the land on lease subject to the railway going through the land. I told the men when they were making the fame that it was no use. I have seen the lamas get over ; they walked over. When the fence was to be done I was asked to take my stock out of the bald fora fortnight, but I said it was not at all convenient. I knew that Mr. Durrant settled the crossings. I have never comp'ained to him or the solicitors, bat should have done, but that the men said they would write to Mr. Kemp. I am the son of the foreman. By the Coroner--I asked them to begin the fence against my land first. By the jury—The cattle might be abort of keep, but not worse than other people's. They did not want water. If the railway company bad provided one good eddish I would have sent them out fora fortnight. By the Coroner—We have plenty of water in our old ditches, but none in the railway company's ; they are too shallow. My attention had been particularly . called to the fences on Mr. Hamond's lend. the ditch is better than ours, but not good. There is some little portion of the fence on the line that is sufficient for a time. Mr. Edwards—For the guidance of the court we should like to know what is sulficieet fence. • The Coroosr—Whet will keep bullock. off the line, Mr. Edward& --- Witness—l know that a pony was killed near this spot recently. Mr. Ju. Platt, locomotive foremen of the Great Eastern Railway, said—l 11111 in the fourth carriage of the train that met with this accident. Mr. Miller, Mr. Kendal, juu., and a young lady were also in it. We left Wolfertou at 8.25. We travelled at ordinary speed-27 or Di miles an hour. We stopped at Suettisham about three minutes, perhaps a little more, and at W o)(erten four or five minutes. I should think the maximum speed ►t which we were going between Wolferton and Lynn was 26 miles an hour. I felt • alight lift in the carriage as if we had passed over some hard substance. The next second I found the carriage was off the line. After the first nu. pleasant unsation, we travelled about a hundred yards. I made au attempt to get out, but the door on the right side was locked. I sat down again, and found the carriage turning over. I began to make the hest way out I could. When I got out, the carriage was not exactly turned over. I turned to the right hand, and looked in • third•claas carriage. I saw one dead, • female; she was fast. I went to the engine, and came to Lynn for assistance, and returned ar soon ae we got it. We took ten carriages, and Dr. Kendal. When I got back, I got over to raise the carriage up. One dead body laid eager. Death. On the main line there are means of commuoia tio• between the engine and the guard—that is by • bell ; but in none of the trains on the Lynn and Hunstuton line. On this line the three distinct whistles is the only mune. 1 went over these carriages in the morning before they started, with Wakefield. I examined them every one. It in only on certain occasions of importanoe that I go with Wakefield. I went this morning because of the excursion train. I cannot tell how long these carriages had been 1 from Loudon. _ . . Emily Norman, of Yarmouth, said—l wag in the train as a passenger when the secident happened. I was in a first. class carriage. We left Hunstantou by the K o'clock train. Just before the accident I looked at my watch. sod it was 25 minutes to 9. 1 turned round, and told Mr. Kendal, and pot on my hat and veil, aed was just drawing on my loft glove when I felt the first shock. The inquest was adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow morn ing, when it is thoug ht the inquiry will tormiaato. Novel.
