BOILER EXPLOSIONS.

A Gateshead jury has been sitting for four hours
to inquire into the late boiler explosion at that:
place, Wmcn causca tne aeatn of three men. Several
practical men were examined, and nothing could be
adduced from their evidence to chew the cause of the
explosion, or to lay the blame on anyone. The
coroner remarked that although he was able to call in a
medical man as to the cause of death, he was not
allowed to employ a scientific man to sit beside
him as an assessor in a case like the present. He
thought that a coroner should have some
assistance. An engineer who was examined con-
sidered that working boilers should be inspected
every month. In this case he could not state posi-
tively the cause of the explosion, as the outer plates
were lost. There was nothing therefore for the jury
but to return a verdict that the men died from the
explosion of the boiler of the steam wherry Eleanor.
An engine-might has stated that a few days before
the explosion he had been told of a leakage in the
boiler, but as it was said to be of no import-
ance he did not remedy it. He had not
examined it in the inside, as no complaint
was made. If he had seen such a piece
of iron as that •produced in court, he should
have condemned it at once. He recommended inspec-
4-ion every three months. It is high time that the
condition of boilers and, their inspection were consti-'
tuted into an exact science and were leo:A
