and inquired " if it were true that the whole charge
of that station was entrusted to a lad receiving only
fie. per week r and that Mr. Johns statement was
contradided by the Sec-retary. It further appears
by your report that I expressed myself as far from
satisfied with this answer, and confirmed Mr. Johns
in what be had said. Your reporter, however,
omitted to notice that the Secretary declined
to state what was the amount of wages paid to the
" Stntion Mailer and Telegraph Clerk" (both in one)
who is a mere lad ! ! .

Now, I believe I am in a position to prove that
the statements made by Mr. Johns and myself, both
with respect to the wages, and the cause of the
accident, are correct, and that there is no doubt
whatever, that the accident referred to, and which
was very nearly attended with serious consequences
" was occasioned by the negligence of the officials at
Bailey Gate," there being no one at the points to
prevent the accident. It may, I think, be taken for
granted that a "lad" who will be content to stay 12
or 14 hours daily at an out of the way railway
station, at Ss. per week, cannot be a fit and proper
person to have the management and control of a
railway station, involving such a fearful risk of life
and limb, and that whilst a station is under such
control the public cannot expect anything else but
" negligence on the part of the officials."

I am, your obedient servant,
