FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday an inquiry took
place at the Wheatsheaf Inn, St. Helen's Junction, before
Mr. Dritlield, ooroner, as to the cause of the death of a boy
named Charles Whitaker, aged, 14 years. On Saturday,
an enginez called the Hero, proceeded from Sutton Shade
to the points at the Pear-tree House, where the boy got
on one of the buffers behind the engine, unperceived by
the engine clriver, who proceeded along the Parr Branch.
A coal train was seen coming up the same line of rails,
drawn by the engine Goliath, and both engine-drivers,
seeing the danger, immediately reversed their engines,
and then, with the stokers, jumped off. A slight colli-:
sion, however, took place, and then the engine Hero,
before the driver and stoker could regain their
places, bounded off at full speed, with the poor boy-
still on the buffer; it ran past the points at the junction of
the branch, where the pomtsman endeavoured to throw it
off the line, and rushed at full speed to the terminus at the
junction, where it broke down the railings, ran across the
read, and knocked down the middle part of the station be-
longing to the London and North-Western Railway, where
its progress was arrested, and the dead body of the boy was
found. The station-master at the junction, his mother, and
three children, who were in bed in the house at the time,
had a miraculous escape, the bedrooms being in front and
at the back part of the house, and the centre only being de-
molished. Some blame appeared to be attached to the
engine-driver of the Hero, for proceeding down the up fine
at the branch ; but the jury, after a long consultation,
returned a verdict of accidental death. —.Manchester
