DEATH FROM FOUL AIR IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.
—Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy-coroner for West Mid-
dlesex, held an inquest yesterday at the Lord Welling-
ton, University-street, Tottenham-court road, touching
the death of an infant, aged 10 months, named Thomas
Car, who died in a railway carriage on the London and
North-Western. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs.
Green, the grandmother of the deceased, that she had
been on a visit to her daughter, who resides in Edinburgh,
and on last Saturday evening she left the above city to
return home with the child, for a sojourn at her
residence, Thames Ditton. It was rather in a delicate
state of health, having recently had an attack of diar-
rlicea. She travelled in a third-class carriage on the
London and North-Western line to Euston-square.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock ou the Sunday morning the train
stopped at Camden-town to collect tho tickets, and, see-
ing the child looking very pale and still, she showel
it to a medical man who happened to be in the next car-
riage, when he pronounced it in a dying state, and it
expired almost immediately afterwards, but so quietly
that she thougbt it was dozing off to sleep. A medical
gentleman who had made the post mortem examination of
the body stated that the lungs were gorged with venous
blood, thereby proving suffocation from foul air. His
opinion was that the deceased being in a delicate state
of health, the vitiated atmosphere of the carriage, pro-
duced by the breath of so many people, in addition to
the combustion by the lamps, would easily cause death,
although a healthier child m'ght have escaped. An
official of the North-Western hallway Company was in
attendance to explain the construction of the carriage,
and convey to the board any suggestions of the jury;
but, as the matter involved considerable scientific de-
tails, they abstained from anything further, than merely
returning a verdict in accordance with the evidence.
