Manningiree and Bentley stations, and it appears
shortly after the goods train left iientley a wheel o
third truck from the engine broke, and the train,
' running a few yards, went off the rails, the result
that six or seven of the trucks, which were laden
malt, were completely smashed and thrown about the
in the greatest confusion ; some of the other trucks w,
were not smashed were driven into the debris. When
accident occurred, the down night mail train was nee
duo at the spot ; but precautionary measures were tat
and the train in question was happily brought to •et
still, although not until it had run to within a few
of the wreck of the goods train. The passengers it

was cleared in the course of Friday morning, but the
line remained blocked until Friday night.
