that might be brought against him.
Mr. Beard appeared for the defence.
From the minima evidence It appeared that the deceased,
who was an elderly female, passed euddenly from before
soother vehicle to the front of defendant's horses, and wee
brooked down before he could pull up his omnibus, which
was proceeding merely at • walking pace.
The officer who bad charge of the ease now said that •
coroner's inquest had been held and had returned • verdict
of " accident/el death," adding that no blame attached to the
prisoner.
The Lord Mayor slid he was happy to be able to discharge
the prisoner from moody ; but at the same time he hoped
the oecturemos would act ors a warning to all omnibus drivers
to be as careful as poeeible, for ameibuses now took up so
large a chars of the principal streets that it was only by ex-
treme osre that accidents could be .voided.
The defendant was then discharged.
