THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON
THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY.

FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE EN-
GINE-DRIVER AND STOKER.
This afternoi.n, at one .o'clock, after the disposal
of the usual night charge Thomas Perry, aged 29,
of 3,Victoria-terrace, Victoria-place, Old Kent-road,
engine-driver, and Edward Whiffen, 24, of 7, Swan-
place, Old Kent-roid, fireman, were placed in the
dock at the Greenwich police-court, charged before
Mr. TrAill, with " neglect of their duty in driving
an engine and train of passengers past the danger
signal at the Lewisham station on the North Kent
Railway, whereby eleven persons were killed and
several others seriously injured, in the parish of
Lewisham."
The intense interest excited in the neighbour-
hood by this lament ible and frighful accident has
not in the lest degree abated, but has rather

been increase 1. by a rumour, currently reported
yesterday afternoon by persona likely to be hell
informed, that Mr. Chapman, the Blackheath station
master, had been ordered to be in attendance at the
court this morning, and that in the event of his
not complying with the request means would be
taken to compel him. Throughout the morning
numbers of persons collected in front of the police-
court, and the avenues leading thereto, as well as
the interior, were densely crowded during the ex-
amination of the persons charged.
Bofore the time appointed for the hearing of the
charg,-, Mr. Chapman appeared in court, but up
to the time of our despatch leaving no charge had
b preferred against him.
About a quarter-past 12 o'clock, Mr. Rees, soli-
citor to the South-Eastern Railway Company, who
worked the North Kent line, attended and ad-
drese.l Mr. Train., relative to the charge against
the engine-driver and stoker, but from hist close
proximity to the presiding magistrate, and the low
tone in which he spoke, it was impossible to catch
distinctly ►hat he said.
The replies of Mr. Traill were muchmore audible,
and from them we gleaned that thd learned gentle-
man had fixed to day for the further examination of
the prisoners, in order to give the company suffi-
cient time to procure the necessary evidence, but
that if the company declined to proceed at once
with the investigation, be should, however much
he objected to a magistrate taking part in prosecu-
tions, place the matter in the hands of
the police, with a view to an immediate in-
vestigation, believing that delays often proved
injurious in such cases as these. Upon the first
blush of the case lie was impressed with the idea
that there were other persona besides the prisoners
likely to be implicated, and he must, whilst inci-
dents and facts were fresh in the minds of the wit-
nesses, insist on the investigation proceeding, and
he complained at nothing having been said relative
to the telegraphic arrangements until 48 hours after
the prisoners were in custody, which, probably, if
explained at the time, would have altered the com-
plexion of the charge against them. He therefore
declined to postpone the further investigation of
this charge, which involved the loss of life to no
less than 12 persons, till after the inquiry had been
concluded before the Coroner.
Mr. Burgom, who appeared for the accused, now
entered the Court, and asked, if Mr. Rees's ap-
plication related to the charge against the two men
in custody, that it might be repeated in their pre-
