THE NORFOLK RAILWAY.

THETFORD, TUESDAY NIGHT.--The Coroner's investiga-
tion respecting the death of William Pickering, engine-
driver, and Richard Hedger, stoker, who were killed by the
recent accident on the Norfolk Railway, was resumed this
morning, for the fourth time, at the Guildhall, before Mr.
Robert Eagle Clarke, the Borough Coroner, and the jury pre-
viously empanelled.
The CORONER, in opening the Court and resuming the
evidence, briefly alluded to the main facts that had been
adduced at the adjourned meetings of the jury, and then
called

Major-General Charles William Pasley, who, when sworn,
said I am Inspector-General of Railways, and reside at 12,
Norfolk-crescent, Hyde-park.
CORONER—The jury have been informed, Sir, that the
accident, the subject of the inquiry, was caused by the ex-
cessive speed of the train, and the sudden shutting off of the
steam. Will you have the goodness to give us your opinion?
General Pasley—My opinion is that the shutting off of the
Steam suddenly, cannot possibly cause., an accident to an
engine.
CORONER—Theo to what do you attribute the acchlent ?
General Pasley—To the engine.drivcr proceeding at an im-
prudent and excessive speed on a descending gradient.
ConoNmt---llid you examine the engine ? General P ktS-
Icy —I did, and I could not find any apparent injury that
could have caused the accident. From what I saw of it it
appeared to •be of the best workmanship, and in a perfect
state of repair at the time of running off the line.
Comoxisit—l am told that these large engines are not ge-
nerally adapted to the narrow gauge. General Pasley—My
opinion is. that owing to the peculiar construction of the
engines—like the one that met with the accident on the
Norfolk line—are not the ones suitable to the narrow
gauge, as they do not admit of any great speed without
danger.
CORONER—Can you account for the broken chair, which
was 22 feet from the sleeper, that was cut apparently where
it got off tke rail? G. reral Pasley—l should say that the
chair was broken by the motion of the engine. If it was
defective before, the motion might contribute to its breaking
entirely.
Conon:a—What description of engine was it? General
Pasley—One of most extraordirary length—of such a length
as was never used on the narrow or any other gauge before.
If you will allow me, I will mention a circumstance respect-
ing this peculiar class of engines. Some months ago there
existed doubts as to the safety of express trains to travel by,
and knowing that oscillation of carriages was no proof of
danger, or that their steadines ensured perfect safety, I de-
termined to ride upon the engines, with a view of more easily
detecting their unsteadiness—their oscillating indicating
danger. I travelled on lines in different parts of the country,
and the only engine I found having such an oscillation was
one on the South-Eastern Railway, called the White Horse
of Kent, manufactured by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and of
the same peculiar construction as the one that want off the
rails on the Norfolk line. I went on that engine at the rate
of 44 or 45 miles an hour, and at that speed she rolled some-
thing like a ship at sea.
CoutoriEtt--And what does the oscillating movement indi-
cate? General Pasley—The oscillation when the train is
going at Juds
a rate implies running off .the rail. I told the
engine driVei and other authorities that if they ran sbrniles
an hour, like the express train on the Great Western Rail-
way, there was great likelihood of the engine rolling over. I
have remarked that opinion to the Gauge Commissioners.
CORONER—What is the difference between the engine you
have alluded to, as manufactured by Mr. Robert Stephen-
son, and those employed on the. Great Western ? General
Pasley—The narrow gauge not offering so great a diameter
of boiler as those on the broad, Mr. Stephenson, to remove
the obstacle, constructed the long boiler engines to equal
them in power, and which have failed in the purpose for
which they were intended. The long boiler engine, which
Mr. Stephenson persevered in, is four or five feet longer than
those of original construction. The smoke-box overhangs
the fore wheels, and the fire-box and dome the hind wheels,
which will cause them to oscillate.
CORONER—Do you think it safe for such an engine to
travel at 30 or 35 miles an hour? General Pasley—l think
such an engine as the one in question c an go at 30 or 35
miles an hour, and I think I have gone at 45 miles upon
them •, but when they approach 50 I think they are unsafe,
and that is an opinion not hastily formed.
CORONER—Then you think these long-boiler engines, if
they are going at a rate exceeding 40 miles per hour, are li-
able to oscillate and run over the line? General Pasley—
Yes.
. .

CORONER—Did you ever anticipate an engine of this de-
scription meeting with such an accident? General Pasley—
The fact is, that I did not expect such an accident could have
taken place. I did not think that such an engine could have
gone at the speed it did in running off the line. It is a rule
with engine-drivers to shut off the steam on a descending
gradient, and in all my journeys in railway travelling I never
found them neglect doing so. I have frequently informed
the engine-drivers of these engines of the danger they were
incurring when driving them a rate verging upon 50 miles
per hour. In the north of England, however, I remember
being in one of Mr. Stephenson's long boiler engines, and two
pair of the wheels were coupled together, and in riding upon
it I felt more secure than I would upon the other ones, as
the coupling produced steadiness, and consequently safety.
CORONER—Then you perfectly attribute the accident to
the speed of the engine ? General Pasley—Yes.
There being no other witness to examine,
The Learned CORONER proceeded to sum up the evidence,
and after commenting upon the principal facts as related to
the unfortunate occurrence, remarked upon the wide con-

trast of opinion entertained by Major-General Pasley and
Mr. Bidder. It was for the jury to determine, knowing well
that they would so decide as would ensure the public every
safety.
The court was then cleared of strangers, and the jury, after
some time in consultation, sent for the Coroner, when the
foreman informed him that they had not unanimously arrived
at a verdict, and he feared there was little hopes of their
agreeing.
The CORONER then inquired how many of the jury were
unanimous ?

The foreman replied twelve.
The CORONER said if the twelve jurors were unanimous he
would receive their verdict, and asked the foreman what was
their return? _ _

The foreman observed that their verdict was—Accidental
Death, caused by the imprudent conduct of the engine driver
in going at an excessive speed.
The dissenting jurymen (three in number) remarked that
the verdict they were desirous of agreeing to was accidental
death, caused by the misconduct of the engine-i.river, and
the defective construction of the engine, and inflicted a deo-
dand of 5001 on the engine.
The Coroner accordingly took the verdict of the twelve.
The foreman said that tt,, jury earnestly recommend the
Board of Trade to adopt immediate steps for disontinuing
or engines similar to _ _ .
inquiry on the Nora'''. Railway, until such measures were
adopted as would render them safe for the conveyance of
passenger trains.—The Court was then dissolved.

ATTEMPTED MURDER at BRENT-
FORD— SUICIDE OF THE FATIIEI.
Yesterday Brentford was thrown into a state of con-
siderable excitement and alarm, in consequence of the
circulation of a report that a man named John Lowe
had been stabbed by his own father, who had immediately
afterwards attempted self-destruction, by cutting his
throat with a razor.
Abot t twenty minutes to eleven o'clock yesterday
forenoon, as Mr. Rowles, butcher, at Isleworth, was
passing along the Great Western road, a short distance
from Brentford-bridge, he saw John Lowe run out of
his own shop, holding his hand to his right side, and
exclaiming that he was stabbed and was a dead man,
and hastening into the house of Mr. Millard,
the George and Dragon public-house, a door or
two off, into which he entered. Mr. Rowles instantly
hastened into Lowe's house for the purpose of securing
the supposed murderer, when in a back room be-
hind the shop he discovered Thomas Lowe, the father,
sitting in a chair with his throat cut, from which the blood
was flowing profusely, the wounded man having still
a razor in his right hand, which was covered with blood.
Mr. Rowles instantly dispatched the first person he saw
for Mr. Cooper, surgeon, of Brentford-butts, and in the
meantime endeavoured to wrest the razor from the grasp
of Thomas Lowe, in effecting which Mr. Rowles's own
hand was much cut by the weapon. At the moment of
the discovery the Rev. H. S. Trimmer, vicar of Heston,
and one of the magistrates acting in the Brentford dis-
trict, passed the house on his way to the meeting of the
Local Commissioners of Assessed Taxes, at New Brent-
ford, and instantly hastened to give information to the
police. In New Brentford he met policeman Smith, T
92, whom he sent with all speed to the spot. Inspector
Lawrence, T division, with Sergeant Scotney, T 5,
soon followed, as did also two of Mr._ Cooper's
assistants, that gentleman b
t
when sent for, when every
aetitnegntiosnbsewnhicf_hrommercael
skill could afford was rendered the wounded men. On
and

and
wsuorge°unciriss
About an hour after the occurrence, the house was
visited by Mr. H. Pownall, of SP ring -grove Hounslow,
the chairman of the Middlesex Quarter Sessions, and
the Rev. Mr. Trimmer, accompanied by Mr. G. Clark,
of New Brentford, clerk to the magistrates, w he, after a
consultation with the surgeons, determined on the re-
moval cf Thomas Lowe, the father, to St. George's
Hospital. A fly was immediately procured from the
Castle Inn, New Brentford, in which he was conveyed
by Sergeant Scotney and policeman Smith to that
hospital.
From the latest inquiries last evening, both at Brent-
ford End and at St. George's Hospital, as to the state of
both father and son, it was ascertained that the latter
was lying at his own house in a most dangerous state,
the surgeon being unable at present to give any opinion
as to the probable result ; and the surgeons at the hos-
pital state, from the father's advanced age (seventy-
three years) there is not much probability of his re-
covery.

PRIVY COUNCIL.—Her Majesty will hold It Privy
Council on Monday next at Windsor Castle; the summonses
were issued yesterday.
DIABOLICAL ACT.—A most diabolical and wicked
attempt to murder a highly respectable family residing in
the City of Oxford was made on the night of Friday last,
between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, but most providen-
tially frustrated. It appears that the policeman on duty on
the above evening observed at a distance something attached
to the front sitting-room window of Mr. Samuel Quarter-
maine, who resides in Alfred street; Iligh-street. Ile imme-
diately went to the window shutter and took it down, when
he discovered that it was of a combustible nature. 11e then
took it into the house, and to the horror and consternation of
Mr. Quartermaine and family it proved to be a petard, con-
taining three and a half ounces of gunpowder, bound very
tightly round with paper 40 folds thick, and covered wit
string which had the appearance of having been dipped n
turpentine, the whole weighing eleven ounces and a huff. It
was attached to the shutter by an awl, similar to those used
by harness-makers and shoemakers, having the mark of wax-
