SimilAr position, having once before in of the line;
causing a serious accident. It it t,o be hoged such
an opportunity will not again be presented to so ill-
fated a piece of machinery, and it might be well to
inquire whether the tires of the engine were in a
sufficiently safe condition.
" It was a late hour before the up passengers were
conveyed to their destination, and the general traffic
was very much delayed during the remainder of the
day."

No further deaths have taken place, but several
of the passengers are injured so seriously as to
render their recovery all but hopeless. Anderton,
of Shrewsbury, the driver, is so dangerously hurt
that his deposition was taken by Mr. Clement, one
of the magistrates for the borough. It is as fol-
lows:

" William Anderton—l was driving the other side Red-
nal, at about 30 miles an hour. Mine was the first engine.
I was driver of the first engine of the excursion train from
Chester to London this afternoon. The platelayers were
repairing the road, and no one mins back with the flag to
prevent us going on. The engine was thrown off the line.
She went a considerable distance before she turned on her
side. I could not stop her. I and the stoker must have
been thrown off ; 1 think the fall alone hurt me ; I was
thrown a considerable distance ; I was sensible all the
time ; I remember coming to Shrewsbury station after the
accident. I have been sensible all the time up to this
time. I attribute the'accident entirely to the platelayers
having been engaged in repairing the line, and not sending
the prevent us coming on. I make this
prospect of death from the accident, and it is
flag
statement backwardsin to
all true."
