THE ACCIDENT ON THE CAMDEN TOWN RAILWAY.
INQUEST ON ANOTHER OF THE KlLLED.—Yesterday an
inquest was held by Mr. Baker, on the body of John
Blencowe, the fireman, who died from the injuries he
received in the recent collision on the above railway.
The principal witness was William Hewitt, the driver of
the goods train, who deposed to the train he drove
coming to a stand, as already made public, and added
that while waiting the water in the boiler became so far
exhausted that he unhooked the engine, and ran it up
the bank to pump water in. Had he not done so the
boiler would have been burned. When he returned the
pilot-engine had ran down the incline. The break bad
been well put on when he detached his engine, and he
could form no idea what caused the descent down the
incline, unless some one took off the break. After fur-
ther evidence of a similar kind, the jury found a verdict
of "Accidental death, but that there was no satisfactory
evidence before the jury to show the cause of the acci-
dent ; and the jury expressed their opinion that there
was not sufficient power to convey the luggage train
to its journey's end." The Coroner said it was a very
proper verdict.
THE FATAL PAILWAY ACCIDENT AT CROYDON.—The
proceedings of the adjourned inquest before Mr. Carter,
on the death of John Gammon, were resumed and con-
cluded yesterday at the Town-hall, Croydon. The
coroner and jury were engaged from 10 o'clock in the
morning till after 6 in the evening taking evidence
requisite to the completion of the case, but the substance
of which has already been published, and which, there-
fore, it is. now unnecessary to repeat. When the exami-
nation of witnesses had terminated, the jury expressed a
wish to examine the line between Stoat's-nest and
Croydon. The wish was of course at once acceded to,
and a special train provided for the purpose. On their
return to the Town-hall, the coroner succinctly summed
up the evidence, and, after half-an-hours deliberation,
the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against
Sl!npson, the driver of the excursion train, thus con-
tirtoTng the finding of the London jury, and the decision I
at which, though not formally pronounced, it is under-
stood that the bench of magistrates-have also came to.
