John Heath, of East Moulsey, said he was a porter at
the Hampton-court station of the South-Western Rail-
way, and knew the deceased, who was also a porter at
the same place. Three weeks ago last Friday, at half-
past three in the afternoon, witness was by the side of
the train that was then about to start for London. There
was a horse-box to go up by the train, and the deceased
was in the act of coupling it to the carriages, but before
he had time to do so, the signal was given, the guard
blew his whistle, and the train started. The deceased
called out, but the train went on, and he saw both
wheels of the horse-box on the right-hand side go over
his right leg, and it was not until the train had passed
on that he could render him any assistance. The horse-
box was the last carriage to the train, and there were
nine or ten carriages to the train. The guard's name is
Blake, and lie was now working aWindsor train, IStaeey,
a policeman, rang the bell, and the guard took thkaignal
from him. The policeman was behind the train lwben
he rang the bell, and the guard about mid-way of it., When
witness heard the whistle, he told the deceased tolook
sharp. Witness and a man named Wiggins had been_ai!--
