quest Of the jury, who sought TO investigate the
of the late accident, has not disappointed any one.
No other verdict was possible. The evidence, how
ever, most conflicting; but doubt is en-
tertained here that Scott Russell, the maker
Of the paddle engines, has been guilty of the crosses

10 him. Several letters have appeared in the Times from

final phase. Large numbers Of workmen, wearicd by
