THE EXPLOSION AT JARRO W

COLLIERY.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
INQUEST ON THE BODIES.

NEWCASTLE, Auc. 25.—1 have just returned from the
inquest held on the bodies of the sufferers by the fatal
explosion at Jarrow Colliery, and the inquiry, which
began this morning at ten o'clock, and continued with-
out intermission, came to a close about halt past five this
evening, when the jury returned a verdict of Acci-
dental Death."

The inquest was begun by the examination of Mr.
Jobling, viewer of the colliery, who was observed fre-
quently to shed tears as he detailed the proceedings that
he and others adopted as soon as made acquainted with
the occurrence, and informed the jury that, in his
opinion, the fire had originated in the low main seam, at
a spot, denominated the West Flat Mothergate Board,
and gave as the only reason for that opinion that he had
on the Saturday and Sunday heard the gas issuing from
the coal or stone, he could not tell which, seeing that
he could not get to the spot on account of some very
heavy falls of stone. Ile gave testimony also as to the
general safety and excellent ventilation of the pit previous
to the explosion, which was corroborated by the sub-
sequent witnesses.

There was one circumstance connected with the Coro-
ner's conduct in this melancholy affair that I feel desi-
rous of drawing your attention to, namely—on Saturday
last, several of the friends of the sufferers requested Mr.
Thos. Horn, of Newcastle, Mr. James Mother, of South
Shields, and myself to attend the inquest, and solicit the
Coroner to allow us to ask a few questions of the witnesses,
which might appear to us requisite to elicit every infor-
mation connected with the explosion, also to request the
Coroner to adjourn the inquest for a day or two, it,
order to ascertain whether Sir J. Graham would
consent to send down the Commissioners lately appointed
to examine into the ventilation of mines, he having bt en
written to for that purpose. However, the Coroner re-
fused to adjourn the inquest, although one mat rid
witness was absent--the man who had been saved after
being thirty-six hours in the pit, but who is in so weak
a state at present as not to be able to be examined.
This conduct on the part of the Coroner, to say the
least of it, did appear to us as very uncourteous to the
relatives of the sufferers.
