Tug SHOCICING FATALITY AT NETHERTON RAILWAY
STATION—On Wedne,iday, Mr. Brooke Robinson, held
an inquest, at the ef,l3, lan, Queen's Cross, on the
body of James Davies, aged 11, who was killed on Satur-
day last. Samuel Vaughan, a porter, employed by the
Great Western Railway company, at the Netherton
goods elation, described the breaking of the crane and
the killing of the boy, who had been asked to see if the
log was clear. The crane was calculated to lift five tons,
and had been worked d.r a long time. The tree did
not weigh much more than three tons. The whole of
the jib came down.—Mr. Alexander Smith, consulting
engine.., said the crane was an ordinary one, and was
marked by the railway company to lift five tons. The
tree which was being lifted weighed by measurement
two tons thirteen hundred weight only. After examining
the crane, witness was of opinion that the machine could
have carried a weight in excess of the tree, and he could
only account for the breakage by the slipping of the
chain, the jerking of the load by the men engaged, or by
the sodden slackening of the break.—A witness, named
Taylor, who had the cranes of the company under his
inspection, said it was is good order, and agreed with the
evidence of the last witness as to the probable cause of
the breakage.—The jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."
