The Accident on the Metropolitan Raitway.

CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY.)

• The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances con-
nected with this lamentable accident took place
to-day at St Bartholomews Hospital, by W Payne,
deputy coroner.

The various parties interested were legally repre-
sented.

The bodies of the persons killed were identified as
Charles Daniel Thomas Passmore, of 54, Crown-
dall-road, Camden-town, who was a clerk to Messrs.
Lucas, Michael, and Co., East India Merchants,
Old Broad-street; Henry Clark Lukey, silk mercer,
Bromley ; and Sarah Johnson, of Pembroke-villas,
Kensington.
Mr. Cuddiford, the house surgeon, deposed to
the facts that the injuries from which the two first
named deceased were suffering when brought into
the hospital caused their deaths. Mr. Lukey only
living ten minutes after his admission, and Mr.
Passmore four hours. Mrs. Johnson was dead when
brought in, having a fractured skull and broken
neck, which must have caused instantaneous death.
Mr. Longfield, a resident at Eltham-road, Kent,
said he was in one.of the compartments of the last
carriage on the train, and shortly after they left the
Aldersgate station the girder smashed in the roof of
the carriage. He saw the body of Mrs. Johnson
taken out from under the girder, which was lying in
a slanting direction across her body.
One of the inspectors of the railway proved that
the train was made up of one first-class, which was
next the engine, one third, and one second, which
was the last carriage. The deceased persons were
in the second-class, but the after portion of the car-
riage being completely smashes] it was impossible to
tell in which compartment she had been sitting. The
other two persons were in the same compartment.
Fenton, the under-guard of the train, said the
only. compartment of the carriage left uninjured
was the first, the roof of the second being crushed
in. He heard no noise or other indication of danger
before the girder fell.
The inquiry was proceeding when we went to
press, the witnesses under examination being those
who spoke to the manner in raising and fixing the
girders over the lines of rails.
The guard of the train, who was so frightfully
injured, is not improving, and there is no hope that
his life will be saved.
