place, met this Aeneas he the seventh sad last time, for
the purple of *rig their inquiry.
At half-past idx the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against Cook, the (nerd. The following appendix we also
agreed to by nine of the jury, and dissented from by five:—
" The jury, in giving their verdict in this very important
isquiry, feel they an called upon to deliver their opinion,
and in the performance of their duty to the public to pro-
ammo their opinion as to the general management of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolmehemptca Railway, derived
tram the of evidence that has been produced before them
on this occeicm, namely, that of grew insubordinate conduct
on the part of their station-meets, in the apparent unconcern
of the higher authorities thereto, that sufficient oars is not and
in selecting the materials, such as chains, shackles, to., and
alao as to quality sad in workmanship. That from the ap-
parent irresponsibility of unlash of the company from the
highest to the lowest, It is the opinion of the jury that •
sufficient number of eirennte are not employed at their
various Minions for the amiety and ounikrt of the public. The
jury also censure to the strengeol teams the reeds, of allow-
ing the public to ride in the amend-ekes break carriages,
