The inquest on Richard Bell, one of the victims of the accident at the horse- shoe curve, near Caledon, on the 3rd inst.,was concluded on Tuesday, and the coroner's jury, after about two hours', deliberation, returned the following ver- dict: ff That Richard ‘Bcll came to his death from injuries received in 'a wreck which occurred on the third day of September, 1907,011 the C. 1’. It, at a point known as the Horseshoe Curve, in the Township of Calcdon, in the County of Pool. ““ The said wreck being caused by the excessive and dangerous rate 'of speed at which the train on which said Rich- ard Roll was a passenger was being run by the engineer, George llodge, and the conductor, Matthew Grimes. “ And we [ind that the said wreck was caused by the criminal negligence of the said (.lcorgc ilgl‘odgo and Matthew (lrimcn. “ And it is our opinion that the C; B. it. is to blame for putting incompetent and inexperienced men in charge of the pas- songor train running on such a dillicult piece of roadlf The verdict was in strict accordance with the summng up by the Coroner, and was fully justified by tho evidence, all of wlxich-â€"~with the exception of that given by the engineer and conductorâ€"- proved conclusively that the train was running at an cxceor'lingly dangerous speed when the smash-up occurred. At the conclusion of the inquest warrants were issued for the arrest of Hodge and .il'lllli‘S, who will be taken to Orangeâ€" villc, and there tried for manslaughter at the next court of competent juris- diction.

On the day of the last sitting of the Division Court at Uptergrove, Mr. Jacob Jollill'e, of Milligan, called at the hotel and told the proprietor, Mr. McNulty, that he wanted his dinner. He was in- formed that he would bc served in due (limeâ€"that is to say, after His Honor I Judge McIntyre, the members of the Bar and the Court officials had appeased their hunger. It appears that it had been the practice at Uptcrgrove to ex- clude the public in this manner from the dining-room, Judge McIntyre having sig- nified his unwillingness to be placed in such a position that he might be com- pelled to hear litigants discussing their casesaor commenting on his judgments. Mr. lTollifie took offence, as a. hungry man might, at the treatment to which he was subjected, and appears to have made complaint to the Inapector of Licenses. This official laid information against Mc- Nulty for neglecting to accommodate his guests as required by law, and the case was heard before Mr. Philip lifeline and Mr. Michael O’Donnell, .l's 1)., the result being a conviction and fine of 9'20. Mr. A. J. Road, of Cannington, appeared for the Inspector, and Mr. John 'Mulcahy, of Orlilla, for the defendant, McNulty,’ An appeal is talked of. It appears that the practice of excluding the public from he dining-room of the only hotel in the village while the Judge and the lawyers dine has for a considerable time been a sore subject witleersons having busi- , ness at Uptergrove on Court day, and naturally the present case has aroused much interest.â€"â€"07zilliu Puckct,; H Personals.
