IR&T4L AIVIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON
RAlLWAT.—Yestarday !mooing an inquiry was held at the
Black Swan Tavern, High-street, Bow by Mr. Joist Hum-
phrey, coroner for Middlesex, respecting the death of John
Robinson, aged 19 years, who wadi killed between two en.
gine. on the North London Railway on Thursday last,
under the following circumstances. Thomas Robinson said
that deceased was an engine cleaner on the North London
Railway. His wages were 14e. per week, and he was on
duty seven nights • week, from eight in the erasing until
seven in the morning. Thomas Peke, engine cleaner, said
that on Thursday, at five io the roaming, demised was
cleaning the engine No. 34, at the Bow works. There were
engines before and behind. Soon afterwards witness found
him lying ou the metals mangled and covered with blood.
He was quitedead. William Matthews said that a cleaner
named Thomas Walters, on demised's eagles and he
moved it after giving the word. Deceased answered
"All right." Walters then moved the engine by .steam,
in cortnivention of the rules, which order that engines
when cleaning shall be moved only by crowbars. The conse-
quence was deceased wascruahed to death between t wo engine'.
After further evidence the coroner maid that deceased lost
his life through begligeem and breach of rules. The rate
at which the men were paid was inadequate. If the com-
pany supposed that they could get seven long night: work
out of men for 14e. per week without their employrs
seeking to shirk their duties, they might find out their
mistake by some *ley serious and costly se,ideet The
jury returned the following special verdict :—•• That de-
ceased was killed by being crushed between two engines on
the North London *Railway ; and that his death was mimed
by the negligence of Thomas Walten, a men in the employ
of the company ;" and the foreman said that the jury were
of opinion that the rate of remuneration of the eagles
cleaners was too low, obliging the meu to work during the
day at other employments to support themselves, which
rendered them inadequate to the due performance of their
duties at night.
