two first carriages pared safely over the point', bat the last

points were raised, and so preveated the lost carriage from

threw it off the Ire. The carriage first
towards the right then ran on a little distance, but
arrested by the chain of the coupling which held it to the
train, which was proceeding, as it were, in • different
direction, the cerium was thrown on its right side with
considerable force. It was rated that just as the
toppled over, the deceased was thrown against the
doer of the cat rigs, sad in some way fell under the carriage
as it turned over. He was found lying under the side of
the carriage, insensible and sbockiagly hurt. It was stated
that his ribs were crushed and kis lungs fearfully injured.

parties who were instructed in the duties of pointassei
should be accustomed upon goods trains at the
points before they were entrusted with the more
onerous duty of paring ou preenger trains,
The Corooer, in summing up, explained the law
of manslaughter r applicable to the car, and left
the jury to say whether either the signalman or the porter
who acted at the points, or both of them, bad bra guilty of
such an amount of negligence es would snake them mag-
i sally responsible for what had occurred. The jury, after
some deliberation, returned • verdict of " Accidental

highly disapprove of the practice of allowing ignoreat
persons to manage the points when presager tiers are
resin ; and they auger that they should lean their
duties by praising at the points when goods tries are
paring. That the jury think the signalmen are required
to perform too many duties at once, and en employed too
many hours without relief and without being able to
leave their station."
