Inquest John North

| Transciption: | FATAL RAILWAY CASUALTY.
Last evening an inquest was held at the " Star" Inn, Speenhamland, on the body of Mr. John North, aged 76. It appears that the deceased, who had lately retired from active pursuits, went on Friday last to Woolhampton station to superintend the loading and removal of some spokes, for a former employer.
Whilst so employed some spokes fell upon the line, and in his endeavour to pick them up out of the way of a truck which was being shunted, he was caught and squeezed between it and a stack of spokes. Though bleeding from the face he was enabled to walk to the Angel inn, and was subsequently removed to his home at Speenhamland. It was then ascertained by Dr. Bunny, his medical attendant, that his injuries were more serious than was at first anticipated, his shoulder bone and three or four ribs being fractured.
His case was deemed hopeless from the first, and after suffering intense pain he died on Monday evening. The porter employed at the shunting was John May, but no blame was attributed to him, and indeed deceased repeated several times after the accident that he himself was alone to blame.
The jury returned a verdict of " accidental death." North was much respected, and for many years was chapel-keeper at the Independent chapel.
