GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Friday a poor
man, named John Jonathan, a wireworker by trade, proceeded
from Bristol to Bath by the third-class (or cheap) train of
the Great Western Railway, where he expired almost imme-
diately upon his arrival. The carriages employed in this
train, although covered, are exposed at the sides, and in the
present inclement state of the weather are, if possible, more
inconvenient than the notorious second-class vehicles of this
line. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the unfor.•
tunate man at the Full Moon Inn, Bath, on Saturday, when
it appeared in evidence that, although the deceased had been
for some time labouring under ill health, he left Bristol on
Friday morning not worse than usual; that he was
well clad, having double his usual quantity of clothes
on; and that the cough from which he had. previously
been suffering had been eased by some medicine prescribed
tbr biro in Bristol. On his arrival at Bath, however, he
was tillable to get out of the carriage in which he had
been donC:ved'
