In the_ excitement of the moment

Wm. Clarke—l am a porter at the Metropalitan Railway
and was on duty at the Portland-road station on Saturday
night at 12 o'clock. There are usually three porters at that
station, one being stationed on either side, and the other
going backward and forward. Ono was ill on Saturday
night, so that there were only two on duty, ono on each side.
the train was duo at 9 minutes past 12. Before it arrived I
ran up stairs to see if there were any more passengers.
That would be about 5 minutes past 12. The train arrived
while 1 was up stairs. As I WAS going u-

woman. The man asked me if there were any more trains.
I said there was ma each way. I told him they must be
quick, as the train was due. I went down stairs again, but
did not see them. I afterwards saw a woman lying on the
line, I could not say she was the woman I met on tho stairs.
I had left that side of the station to go to tbo ether side. I
crossed over after I had been up stairs. I did that as the
train was in the station, and before it started again.
Wm. Rance—l am a porter on the Metropolitan Railway.
I was on duty on Saturday night, and recollect the 12
o'clock train arriving. I was on the other side of the plat-
form attending to the up train. After the up train passed I
crossed over to the down platform, just as the train was
leaving the station, having heard the guard call " Stand
back." After I had crossed I saw the deceased lying on the
line, and I assisted Clarke to raise her up. I heard her
groan once or twice after we took her up. Clarke went for
a doctor directly, and I waited until he came sack, The
