THE LATE ACCIDENT on the NORFOLK
RAILWAY.—What was the cause of the late accident on
the above line ?—The suddenly shutting off the steam? No; though
Bidder would have it so.—Stevenson's long tubular boiler? No ;
though Pasley, in rough contradiction to Bidder, would have it so.
What then ? Why, see the " Evening Sun" of the 25th of last June,
where you will ascertain the why and the wherefore of these con-
tinued accidents incidental to the present imperfect construction of
railways and tkeir prevention. NOTTCSOJEIN.
