This morning the inquest upon the bodies of the
ten anfortheate victims of the esiseirothe at the London
Gas Works was resumed by Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for

Thome* one of the deceased and Kr. Yap for the
relatives of O'Donnell, another of the ldlied.
Models of the gasometer, the meter proving.house, sad
the other works bearing upon the inquiry, had been pee.
pared by other of the company, and were exhibited in the
inquat room.
The jury having answered to their names,
Richard Harvey, foremen of the stokers at the London
Gas Works, who wee windy hart by the accident, and
appeared with hie hand end feu bandaged up, having bias
mon, deposed to having been in the employ of the Lurks
Gas Company during the last thirty Tsars.—My duties was
principally in the retort bossed. I was there when the
explodes of the 31st of October took plum. It onsarred
at about a quarter or twenty minutes In 2. I was in N 0.4
retort bones at the time. The explosion did sot take plea
to the retort hones, but in the meter hoes& A mas thee

I ran to the meter house immediately, and path

in the doorway. I saw Donnell and Them.

the meter-house when the &selenium took place. It
took place althea the minute I entered. I had only
time to get to the platform whoa it occurred. The meter
house was levelled to the ported by the explosion. I eth
gas seraping from the side of the governor when I watt into
the meter house. Water also war coming out of the
governor. The escape was very large in (quantity. lam
sure that the gas was escaping out of the governor. I did
not au racy break or damage. I had not time to
examine closely. (A model of the governor was here shove
to the wham', and he Foisted out the part from white
the gas was escaping, viz., the chamber below the tank
which held the water). Examination continued—The see
were holding down the tank. They were premise k down
on one aide. had they pressed it down evenly the amp
would not have been so peat ; but as they least sue it
it canted over a little. Time was a the in the fartlar mom
of the retort.honse to sir the room, but that was at some
distanoe from the governor. There was the lamp ear the
meter in the meter.bonee—a test light. I did sot edits
whether it was alight when I mitered. I bad Dot tine to
inquire why the men were holding the teak down. Whoa I
got to the platfeam I saw what was anise, sad called for
some water. If I oonld have got a few pails of water at
the meanest I could have pd it into the tank, and the
governor would this have been no longer annealed. No men

appeared to me to act very well all the time.
By the foreasan—lt was a now governor. One of tits
goes:mon. I believe, had been worked before at the 10111111
works. It was the mew governor la which the escape wee.
By Mr. Bailey—The escape of pa was increasing Olio
I was in the meterhothe. I noticed a flash of light eosin
apparently from the corner of the meter-house essred
tc
the meterrothers' shop. The flash immediately ignited
the gas that wan escaping from the governor and blew -
the building. I was thrown forward by the faros of I
explosion, but I retained my senses perfectly. I heard t
noise of the explosion following thetantaneoully the flesh
saw in the corner. I did not tutu any second explode&
By the Oeroner—My opal= is that the flash came hem
the aseter.makers' shop. The pa from the governor was
escaping towards that direction. I do not know whether
the window in the earner was open or shut, but it is Ida
enough it was a little way open. There were gaslights in
the meter-makers' shop. There wee a test light la a theed
lamp in the mearr.hoture. My belief is that the gas amp
ism came in contact with more flues that was external I
the meta-house, and not with say light that was Wide.
By a juror —I do not know if there were any broths
squares in the window. Ido not know what object
preteen shad in pressing the governor down, but my
premien is that they found the gas settapieg, arid *AWL
knowing nothing about it, attempted to stop it by pledsg
