a man apparently from under the carriages that were
just on the edge of the embankment. He was Hedger, I
believe. I never heard the deceased men speak about
the accident.
Conormn—Pray did you ever see any other engine
with steam and smoke in such a manner as the one in
question ? Witness—No ; I never did, and that was
what excited my surprise. It was quite an unusual ap-
pearance, and I never saw anything like it before.
CORONER—Have you seen many trains pass along ?
Witness—l have ; four or five a day. I did not take
particular notice of the speed of the engine that led to
the accident. _ .

Mr. Parker, the solicitor to the Company (to the wit-
ness)—Respecting the unusual appearance you have been
mentioning, I wish to ask you whether you saw the
man on the engine extend his arm, and apparently touch
something, after or before the engine jumped, or the
fire fell out? Witness—What attracted my attention,
sir, to the engine, was the fire, instantly afterwards it
jumped, and then the man extended his arm, and at the
same moment leaped off. I will swear that I saw the
man on the engine move his arm after it rose.
Several other witnesses spoke in support of the above

evidence.
Dr. Bailey, of Thetford, was -then called to prove the
injuries which the deceased men died from.
It being now near five o'clock,
The CORONEn said, it would be impossible to conclude
the inquiry that evening, and he begged to recommend
an adjournment, as, in the meantime, no doubt, General
Paslopy would institute his official investigation, and, by
having his opinion on the subject, it would much assist
the jury in coming to a verdict.
The jury acquiesced in the suggestion, and the investi-
gation was accordingly adjourned.
