THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT LEEDS.—Yesterday
Mr. Blackburn, the coroner for the borough of Leeds. and
the jury summoned to inquire into the cause of the fatal
boiler explosion which. happened on Christmas-day, at the
house of Mr. William Longley, builder, met at the Town-
hail, Leeds, but the inquest was further adjourned for a
fortnight. The three surviving sufferers are progressing as
favourably as can be expected, but none of them were yet
able to attend the inquest, and it was considered desirable
that Mr. Hetherington, C.E., and Mr. Lord, who have exa-
mined the boiler, should hear the evidence of Mr. Longley
and the servant before making their report.
