THE ACCIDENT TO THE IRISH MAIL.

An inquiry was opened yesterday at the Town Hall,
Tamworth, before Mr. Dewes, district coroner, on the
bodies of Father Healey, Roman Catholic priest ; Samuel
Taylor, engine driver; and William Davis, stoker, who
were killed in the acsident to the Irish mail on Wednes-
day morning. Mr. Blenkinsop, solicitor to the London
and North-Western Railway, Euston, appeared for the
company, assisted by Mr. Shaw, solicitor, Tamworth ;
Mr. Argyle, solicitor, Tamworth, watched the case for
Evans, the pointsman, who is in the custody of the police.
The jury, after being sworn, visited the place of the acci-
dent, and were shown the various workings of the signals
and points at the station. The bodies having been identi-
fied, evidence was taken as to the facts connected with
the accident.—George Foster, a porter on the Midland
Railway, was at the scene of the accident at a quarter
past four, and assisted in getting the body of Mr. Healey
out of the water. It lay between the engine and the
buttress of the bridge.—James Higgings, pointsman on
the south side of the station, said that Evans was
engaged as pointsman on the opposite side of the
station. The Irish mail was due at fifty-seven
minutes past three, and Evans gave him notice of its ap-
proach, and he locked the points for the main line. He
did not perceive that the train was on the siding until the
assistant station-master. Stafford called to him, and then
it was too late to alter them, as the train had then got
half way along the siding.—Frederick Ruffe was at the
scene of the accident at half-past four. He saw the body
of Mr. Healey ; both thighs were broken, and he was
injured on the head. He was quite dead. He also saw
the body of Taylor, whose right leg was broken and his
right thigh lacerated. He had otherwise received contusions
on the head and was bruised across the chest. Davis was not
recovered from the water for two or three hours.—Henry
Stafford, assistant station master, saw. the Irish mail ap-
proach and pass into the siding. It was travelling about
twenty-five miles an hour. He shouted to the pointsman
Higgings to turn the train on to the main line, but he had
not time to do it, and it passed up the coal siding and
went down the embankment.—The inquest was adjourned
until Saturday week.

THE UPHOLLAND (WIGAN) RAILWAY
ACCIDENT.

The inquest into the cause of the railway accident in
the Upholland Tunnel, Wigan, closed yesterday. The
ury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Ball, the
foreman platelayer. The evidence showed that he had
broken the Company's regulations by taking out rails in
the tunnel within 15 minutes of the express being due,
and without having a back signalman half a mile away.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A GUNNER OF THE
ROYAL NAVY.

An adjnnrned inquest was held at Stonehouse yesterday
afternoon concerning the death, of Samuel Shattock, a
gunner in the Royal Marine Artillery. Deceased was
working the atter port gun of the Inconstant last Friday
morning, when she was on her way to Plymouth, and
while doing so the gun fetched away,throwing the men off,
and no one being there to stop its course, Shattock was
knocked down and killed instantaneously. Questions were
asked with the view of ascertaining if the gun should be
worked when the ship was heeling over to sixteen de-
grees. Captain Aplin, late captain of the Inconstant, who
ordered the men to go to general quarters, was examined
at length, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental
death, adding that they were of opinion that the captain
had not used sufficient discretion in going to quarters in
such weather.
