THE NEWARK ACCIDENT.—THE INQUEST.
The inquest touching the Newark accident was resumed
at noon yesterday. After the medical evil
enof thece had b
re at een
taken, Patrick Stirling, the chief engineer G
Northern, was examined, and his evidence ran to a great
length. The substance of his answers was that the broken
axle was of the very best quality, and the flaw in it
imperceptible to ordinary tests. He thought it unpracti-
cable to keep a record of the of
running axles, as wee
save
ls
are often changed from one waggon to another, to
loss of time. He thought an old axle less liable to fail

than a new one.
The jury, after two hour's consideration, returned a
verdict that the persons who met their deaths were acci-
dentally killed through the breaking of an axle of a Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company's
goods waggon running on the Great Northern Railway
Company's line. The jury added the following memo-
randum to their verdict :—" From the evidence given we
believe that the luggage train was driven at too great a
speed from Retford to the scene of the accident. We are
also of opinion that the fracture in the axle which caused
it to break had been in existence for some time, and that
it was not fit for use. And we think that there re should
be some limit to the time during
which axlesin
We also think that there sho b
uld e some means devised
for periodically testing axles, the jury being of opinion
that the present system is defective."
The Coroner was informed by the jury that they
wished this memorandum to be communicated to the
Board of Trade for the future protection of passengers.

due investigation, and enforced in defiance of the common
sense of the people, this meeting pledges itself to use all
legitimate means to obtain the repeal of the Vaccination
Acts." A petition was adopted for the immediate repeal
of the Acts. Nearly all the speakers, who were very
numerous, stated that they had been repeatedly prosecu-
ted for refusing to have their children vaccinated.
