Coroners' Inquests
An inquest was held at the Lands, near Evenwood, on the 3rd inst., before Wm. Trotter, Esq., on view of the body of George Turton. On the previous Wednesday, a train of coal waggons and a horse in a dandy cart were going along the Haggerleazes Branch Railway, when the deceased in attempting to get into the dandy cart, slipped off. He was drawn along about 23 yards, when he dropped, and the wheel ran over his right leg. Mortification afterwards ensued, and he died on Tuesday morning. Verdict — "Accidentally killed."
