FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN ENGINE-DRIVER ON THE
LONDON AND NORTEL-WESTERN RAiLwAV.—Ye,terday
Mr. Wakley, coroner for \Vest Middlesex, held an in-
quiry, at the Lord Wellington, University-street, Tot-
tenham-court-road, int, the
circumstances attending
the death of James Stock, an engine•driver, of the
Lendon and North-Western Railway Gumpany, aged
71. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased
was employed at the Cha'k-farm station, and while so
employed an engine behind him was moved on by a
man named Jo.eph Baskiss, a fitter, and the result
was he was caught between the buffers of the two
engines, in which po-ition he was held until one of the
engines was backed, and he then fell to the ground
frightfully crushed, anti died in a few minutes afterwards.
—Mr. Henderson, foreman in the locomotive depart
went at Chalk Farm, stated that Baskies had acted most
culpably in moving the engine, and, producing the com-
pany's roles and regulations. Mr. Henderson showed
that no person but a driver, under pain of instant dis-
missal, was allowed to move on an engine.—Baskiss, in
hi; defence, said that he had been directed to do so by
the foreman of his gang, John M.l.nstal, and that he
warned the deceased to ge, out of the way, but did not
sound the whistle.—lVPlnstal did not deny this.—The
coroner havinfe summed up, the jury, after a brief de-
liberation, returned a verdict to the effect that although
the doceased was accidentally k,lled, yet that M'lnstal
and Buckles were guilty of great nealigence. The coro-
ner said he understood that both parties were to be dis-
missed from the company's service. The inquiry then
