train stopped at Ferryhill. It was that of one of the
carriages that was overheated at Darlington. This leads
me to suppose that the man had actually opened the box.
His getting out was contrary to the instructions. If he
had observed any indications of heating he should have
signalled to the guard to stop the train. The axlebox
was quite cool at Ferryhill. I do not think any grease
had been put in after the train left Darlington. I ex-
amined the viaduct where the man was found yesterday.
I saw marks on the third post from the south end of the
viaduct, which led me to believe his bead was struck
against that post, and had rebounded against the carriage,
and then struck a second time against the head of
another post, and the carriage carried him over the via-
duct where he was found. The man's proper place was
in the van, but he had got out of a carriage which he
must have got into at Darlington. The axles were also
overheated at York. I can speak to the Queen's car-
riages. He might see if the carriage was heated without
getting out. lam satisfied he must have apprehended
it, or he would not have got out. If he was in a car-
riage he would have no means to signal the guard. I
gave him no further directions at Darlington. The via-
duct has been in the same state for 11 years, and no acci-
dent has occurred.

James Johnson, of Doncaster, deposed—l am super-
intendent of the locomotive department of the Great
Northern Railway. I have seen the body, and identify
it as that of William Haigh, who was the examiner of
carriages upon the trains. He was employed by me first
in 1853. I -produce his character from the North-
Eastern Railway, where he had been employed for three
years. I sent him from Doncaster to go with the Royal
train in consequence of his steady habits and character.
Lie has left a widow and three children.

George Pigott, of King's-cross, London, deposed,—l
am porter to the Great Northern Railway. I came
down with the Royal train on Thursday to grease the
carriages. I was in the front van from Darlington. I
saw the deceased get into a first-cass carriage at Dar-
lington. A man named Howard was in the van with
me. He said, " Bill is out, greasing the hot-box." I
did not hear anything more until the train stopped, and
I was informed he had fallen out. The deceased was
with me in the Royal train last year.
Thomas Howard, of Doncaster, deposed,—l am em-
ployed on the Great Northern Railway. I was sent to
London to go ass one of the " greasers " to the Royal
train on Thursday. The carriage was warm at Darling-
ton. We had to take the Queen's carriage off at Dar-
lington. The deceased got into a first-class carriage at
Darlington, next to the break ; he was alone. A few
minutes after we left Darlington I saw deceased get
upon the footboard. He had a greasing-box with him,
and I saw him filling the box. When the train stopped
at Ferryhill I was informed Haigh had fallen off. The
deceased had got out of the carriage once or twice after
we left London to grease the wheels. We bad no orders
but what were printed and in the van. Ido not think
the deceased had any other orders. I saw the deceased
put the greasing-box into the carriage before he got in
at Darlington.
William Blakey, of King's-cross, London, deposed,—
I was sent as a greaser to the Royal train on Thursday.
I saw the deceased get into the carriage at Darlington
which had been hot!; he took a greasing-box with him.
He had no orders to do so. I saw him out of the car-
riage soon after, but did not see him fall. I had been
out upon the Great Northern Railway, but had no orders
except what were in the van. I did not hear any orders
given to the decased. The passengers had been shifted
Lest of this carriage at Darlington.
John Coffin, of Doncaster, deposed—l am superin-
tendent of the carriages on the Great Northern Rail-
way. I selected Wm. Haigh as one of the men to go
with the Royal train on Thursday. The men were
under my (srders. At Darlington we took the Queen',
carriage off. I was engaged with it, and did not see the
deceased get into the carriage. I had got the passengers
out of this carriage to lighten it. I stopped at Darling-
ton until the next train. I had not seen any of the men
upon the footboard when the train was in motion, and
gave no orders to them to go there. There was no acca-
sion to get out to grease the carriages. I believe they
were cooler when we got to Newcastle.

The coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury
found a verdict of "Accidental Death."

EHE LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT
THE BRISTOL HOT WELLS.

BRISTOL, Sept. 9.—The detective officers devoted a
great part of ye,terday to another searching examina-
tion of the two paths and the wood, but with no satisfac-
tory result ; but a circumstance has been brought to the
knowledge of the authorities, which, should it turn ont
as represented, will very much tend to confirm the im-
pression entertained in many quarte.s that the murder
was the work of a lunatic. A gentleman of very great
intelligence, and of the highest respectability, has stated
that he has met with a woman, who resides in the coun-,
try, at a few miles on the Gloucestershire side of Bristol,
and who, as she does washing for some families at Clif-
ton, has occasionally to make visits to that place. Her
nearest course from her residence to Clifton lies across
the Down ; and she states that on the Saturday evening
in question, at about dusk, as she was [crossing the
Down, a man in a state of great excitement ran up to
her and said, " Which is hell's gate ?"NNot comprehend-
ing what he wanted, she was in the act of asking him,
when he said, "Where is the mouth of hell ?" Having
asked which he darted off. The woman, as may be sup-
posed, was greatly terrified, but she states that she dis-
tinctly saw blood on the cuff of his coat, and that he
looked very wild. Tho doeoription which the woman is
said to give of the man so closely corresponds with some
other circumstances which it is undesirable at present to
mention specifically, that the matter has been brought
under the notice of the authorities, by whom, no doubt,
a searching inquiry will be made.
