THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION ON THE

CHF:BRIBE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
This protracted inquiry was resumed, yesterday
morning. The coroner (\lr. Nicholson, of Warrington)
and the jury assembled at the Bed Lion, Preston Brook, a
Little after II) o'clock.

James Davi., of Warrington, said he was a passenger by
the train which left Chester from seven to a quarter post
'even ou Wednesday evening week, the second train in the
collision. Ile was in the next carriage to one of the de
*eased (Newell), and corroborated much of the evidence
given by Newell's brother. There was a guard in a car-
riage behind that in which he rode. When the trainstopped
in the t 1, some person in the waggon called out to the
guard to know what was the matter. A inau with a hand
lamp (he could not say whether the guard or not) replied,
s' It is nothing; it is only a train before us." They re-
mained stationary in the tunnel more than 10 minutes be-
time a e.llision toot place. The waggon in which witness
:ode non d up over that in advance, and threw its pas-
Itige7;goeut.illen' the driver of the engine, " The Druid,"
which drew the first of the three trains in the collision, said
he received a espy of the printed rules produced by the
company when be entered their service. henry Blackford
was fireman, and Thomas Leech fireman. I took in water
lye or ten minutes before leaving ('h:ster. An additional
engine assisted the train to the top of the incline out of
Chester, and then left it. I proreeded at the rate of 20 to
Z 5 miles per hour from Chester to Frixlsham. I did not
find that 1 had a heavier load than I expected. The engine
appeared to work well. While we were stopping at Fred-
die= a shower of sleet came on, and that caused the engine
wheels to slip. They continued to slip till we got into the
tunni I. and 1 had great difficulty in getting from Frodsham.
From Imlsliam to the Sutton tunnel is a slight incline up-
wards, and after a short level amends again. Be-
fore entering the tunnel I saw a train behind, but 1 did
not whistle as it is nut required. When I entered the
tunnel I aid nut sound my whistle. I could just sec to the
other end of the tunnel. The other train might then be
100 or 110 yards behind. I entered the train at a speed of
four to five miles au hour. I considered that though the
incise: increased in the tunnel I shordil be able to get up
with the train—that is to say, if the rails hail not been wet
and slippery. The cads in the tunnel arc always more or
less wet, and I hail frequently perceived before that the
driving wheels 4ippeil. 1 had not mentioned that circum-
stance to the superintendent, because I considered they
could nut prevent it. We sanded the rails all the way
from Frudaluun W cause the wheels to bite. My engine
kept the train iu motion to about 3110 yards beyond the
middle of the tunnel. It did not stop at any time, but the
speed decreased alter entering. After I entered the tunnel
I am told the second train ruse up, but I did nut feel any
shock. My engine was blowing off steam so from the
gaiety TAM' that I could nut hear the following train
enter the tunnel. When I found I could nut get on, after
toeing in the tunnel five or seven minutes, I sent
bark the fireman, Thomas Leech, to sipoal the other
train. In five or six minutes after a collision took place,
from, as I sec, the third train coming up. The shock
was lilt but .lightly by my train, and beyond that 1 can
silty nothing. could not see anything behind. Noon after
the fireman came hack, and I proceeded on to Moore station
with the train. I did nut detach any carriages. The speed
was of course very much slower through the tunnel than
°Kai try ; the train was, iu fact, only just on the move. In
ray judgment the weight of the train was nut too great for
the enitiae ; I do not mean on the level, but taking the line
on the whole. Ido nut consider the speed through the
tunnel a proper degree of speed, and I attribute the want of
speed to the engine wheels blipping, through the slipperineee
of the rails. I did not anticipate when 1 lett Chester that I
should have any difficulty in getting through the tunnel. I
did nut consider the train extraordinary as to weight, and
that the engine was incapable of taking it on to Chester.
ll:relieve the engine took the train through the tunnel with-
out to-ideal-. The Druid was not a new engine ; I have
only had experience of her in two or three tripe. The
healiext weight t hare had attached to her before was 14
loaded pasenger carriages, from Chester to 31anchester.
She went through from Cheater to Manchester on that a-
mnia in en hour end 46 minutes, end her speed would
average 23 or 24 mike per hour. That was at the hue
Chester cheese fair. It was good weather at that time, and
quite dry. 1 experienced a little difficult'' in passing
through the tunnel on that occasion from the slipping of
the driving wheels of the engine. That was after entering
the tunnel, not before, and the speed decreased very little.
The train on the occasion I am speaking of bad stopped at
Frodaham, but had attained a speed of 18 miles an hour on
entering. I cannot give any idea of the decrease of speed in
the tunnel on that occasion, but I should say it went as fast
as 14 miles en hour.
By Capt. Laffan—l have been in the company's service
seven years, and have leen in the habit of driving both pee-
wager and goods trains, but my regular work has been at
goods trains. I cannot say how often I have driven pr-
esager trains, perhaps a couple of days • week, or one or
two days sometimes • fortnight. Tke goods engines are
sore powerful than the Druid, and have au wheels. When
I was in the London and North-Western Company's sere
vise the engine I drove was also more powerful than the
Druid. It was • 16-inch cylinder with four driving
and the central wheels and the others were connected toge-
ther. My experience therefore has been chiefly with more
powerful engines, haring coupled driving wheels.
_ By the Forman—ln the Landon and North-Western
Beltway was not an engine-driver the whole seven years ;
was engine-driver four-and-a-half years, and stoker the re-
mainder of the time. I was discharged from that company;
it wee for being five minutes too late in fetching a goods
train. On the 30th April, being the Cup day, we had two
egoism to the tweep oldie incline from Chester, and only one
fm armee . I had assisted the previous train
wy; tbe he with my engine, and then returned and
task In a of water, and took my own train on.
