IRE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TEE BOUTII-
EACTERN RAILWAY.-THE VERDICT.

Yesterday the adjourned inquest on this accident
was held at Chilbam.
Mr. Macdonald, of Chilham, civil engineer, who herd
examined the line immediately after the sodden; and before
the rolling stock bad been removed, was of opinion that the
saddest was caused by excessive speed, that the outer ran
was not sufficiently high for the curve when the ambient
took
dition. place, and that the sleepers were not in a sound cote-
_ _ _

Captain Tyler, government inspector of railways, stated
that at the curve in question the chairs were fastened to the
sleepers by wooden treenail" ; in such awe be thought thirty
miles an hour would be excessive speed. He thought the
accident occurred from the mink axle of the engine breaking,
end a greater strain being thus put on the treenails than lbw
could beer. He thought the accident would probably not
have happened if spikes had been used instead of treenail'.
After some witnesses bad been called to prove the rate at
which the train wee going just before the accident occurred,
a point on which they differed considerably,
Mr. Seymour Clark, manager of the Great Northam
Railway, gave it ea his opinion that hem 40 to 50 miles en
hour would not be too great speed round the Chilham curve;
that the Wielding was lay good, and that Pecans were
more effective fastening for the chairs than iron spikes.
Mr. Edward Watkic, of 9, Nicholas-street, Maoche
(manager of the Sheffield and Lincolosbire Railway),
that wooden treensils were stiletituted on that line for 'Skutt,
in the belief t►at they were aster and more enduring. Hai*
Inspected the South Eastern line in the locality of the a &n{
be found that the treenail' were so strong, that in a majority of
instances they had broken the cast,iron chairs before yieldiefo
He had examined the curve, end believed it would be Ea is
travel on it at any rate not exceeding 60 miles en het'.
Much severer curves were worked on the Great Weetela sal
other hues at a higher rote of • without accident.
Mr. Samuel Hughes., of Perk-street, Westminster, a eivff
engineer, believed the Chilham curve was calculated fir ■
speed of 26 miles en hoar. This witness wished to show the
rate the train was going by a reference to the statesseat"
previous withers', but the coroner refused to receive if.
After some farther evidence the jut y retained a verdict el
" Accidental death," with a strong recommendation that so
train should pass the carve beeween the whistle-bored out
the Chilli= station at a rate exceeding 25 miles an hoe•,
and that the reed should be carefully attended and kept in
good running order and repair, sweatily the curve.
