| FATAL ACCIDENT.- On Friday the 13th instant, William Lovesey, an engine-driver, was killed on the railway at Wolverton. The deceased was a native of Old Wolverton, and had been in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway Company for several years. It appears he got down to oil the motion of the engine, when the fireman, at his request, moved the engine, and in a minute or so the poor fellow was a mangled corpse. An inquest was held on the afternoon of the same day at the Radcliffe Arms Inn, before J. Worley, Esq. coroner, and a respectable jury, when after a short consultation, a verdict of accidental death was returned. |
