An inquost was hold yesterday at Glcoson'a Jlotol, before Dr. Piiilson, coroner, and n jury, on tho body of Robert Clark, who mot his death by being run over by a tram car ; :Mr John B. Roth, foreman. Sergeant Clarke represented the police. The jury having viewed the body, tho following wit nesses wore examined :— liicbnel O Brien deposed that bo was a bootmaker, residing at Parnell. About ono o'clock on iv onday ho was driving a baker's cart along Custom-houso-streot West, near Glccson'.i Hotel. Saw doceased crossing tho road. Did not know him. He walked slowly. Tho tram-car was approaching him. Tho tram was going rather slow ; not so fast as usual, lt was driven by Alfred Sayers; drawn by two horses. Heard the driver shout to the man as loudly as he could. The man took no notice. Ho turned down the brake and stopped tho car. Presently tho man halted bo as to let tho car pass. Sayors supposing all was right, reloased the brnke and rlrovo on. The man had nearly got clear of tho car when ho was knocked down by the near horse, and tho wheel went over him, only one. Sayers at onco pulled up, took out the horses, the tram was raised by half a dozen men, and the injured man was carried to the bank of ' earth by the side of the road. Heard no groan; witnessed no ovidenco of pain. A medical iron was sent for. To the Foroman : Should say tho man was under tho influence of drink. His walk was unsteady. Tho driver, a stranger to him, was perfectly sober. To Sergeant Clarke : Tho driver did his bost to prevent the accident. Ho was not to blame. Thomas Hope Lewis, a duly qualified medical practitioner, deposed to being called to tho man who had been run over by the tram. Saw him on tho bank by Glceson's Hotel. Ho was quite dead; although the body was still warm, the action of the heart and respiration had ceased. Deceased had suffered a double fracture of the spine, and a rupturo of the internal organs. Dr. Lewis described tho bruises. Death must have beon almost instantaneous, and caused by a sudden shock. Thebodysmeltolliquor. There wasno necessity for a post 'mortem examination. EmmanuelMendelsjohn, pawnbroker's as sistant, identified tho body as that of a man with whom ho had done business as Robert Clark. Always described himself as a sea man. Considered him about <.5. Saw him last on tho 2Sth nit., at the shop of Messrs Hart and Levy. He was then under tho influence of drink. Had often seen him in that condition. He redeemed all his pledges on Saturday night. Knew nothing of the accident. William John O'Brien deposed that he was a baker at Parnell. Deposed to being with his brothor, Michael, at the dme of the accident. His brother was wrong in the hour. It waa about two o'clock. In his opinion tho driver was not to blame. Adam Henderson, ship-builder, Devon port, whose place of business is opposite Glceson's Hotel, identified the body as that of the man who frequently passed through tho yard. Saw him pass on Monday between one and two o'clock, Had observed that ho was an intemperate man. He was employed on tho cutter Rose, of which Mr Fry is the ownor, Did not witness tho occurrence. Alfred Sayers, the driver, was permitted to mako a statement to tho effect thathe saw tho man.and called out and blew his whistle. Had the man been sober, he might have saved himself, but on being struck by the horse, he fell back, wheeled round, and was mortally injured. Charles Fry, managing proprietor of the cutter Rose, deposed that deceased was in his employ. He only know him as " Old Bob." He was Eobev when he left his houso for tho cutter with a bag of clothes. Saw him no more alive. Constable Mackay (water police) deposed to knowing tho deceased. Gave him £2, which was left for hina to pay his passage to Gisborno. Knew tho driver, Alfred Sayors, who was an experienced driver, and who was perfectly sober at the time of the accident, and much concerned at the result. Be'ieved tho occurrence to havo been acci dental. Mr Gleeson stated that deceased had taken nothing at his hotel. The • jury brought in a verdict of " Accidental death," exonerating tho driver from all blame ;ho had done his best. Tho Chair man said he had known him for years as a sober and skilful driver. The juiy also added tho following rider:—"That the Tramway Company should givo strict orders to the drivers not to press for the timo crossings when an accident is likely to ariso through persons being noar the line."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Onehunga Ratepayers to the Front.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The commissioners of the new Licensing Bench for the town of Onehunga are to be nominated to-day. The election last year was contested by Publicans versus Temperance party, but this year the rate payers aro deteimined, if possible, to return liberal men, , who will fairly work tke Act, and thus deal honestly with both parties. This stand has been taken by the electors for the following reasons:—(l) Because the revenuo of last year was decreased through tho action of the Temperance Bench by £S3, and the previous year by £40, thus making a total of £123 for two years, which, when you consider our paltry rate of Cd in tho £ on leasohold valuation, means no small trifle to the struggling ratepayer. (2) To prevent a like occurrence from happening in tho forthcoming year. Again, viewing the matter in a fair way, it appears just as feasible to return a publican "ticket" as one represented by the tem porance party, as both of these bodies hold extromo views. Hoping the electors will study this mattor, which at the present timo is ono of grave importance to them, and that with a keon interest they will " conscientiously record their votes for liberal men, and not for those who aro banded together and hold extromo views,— I am, &c, Pro Bono Publico. Onehunga, March 3, 1535. |

"Credit to Whom Credit is Due."

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I havo carefully read through tho re port of the inquest on the body of tho un fortunate Mrs Pondergrast, of Pokeno, and from the evidonce adduced I find that only 20 minutes elapsed from the time Constable Ryan received intimation of the murder till tho accused was placed in custody in Mercer gaol. Now, such promptitude as this on tho part of Constable Ryan deserves special mention, and too much praise cannot bo given this officer, when we con sider that tho distance from Mercer to Pokeno is at least 3 miles. Constable Ryan by his promptitude on this occasion has saved the Government a con siderable amount of expense and the public a good deal of anxiety and trouble. The services of such men as Constable Ryan desorve to beappreciated, and recognised by the Government and public.— 1 am, &c, A Lover of Order. February 2Sth, 18S5.

Intercolonial Reciprocity.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—ln your leading article of Friday you state that " the general opinion in the other colonies is that Tasmania has been over reached " in connection with the tariff agreement lately come to with Victoria. Permit me, as a Tasmanian, and know ing somothing of tho subject, to dispute tho correctness of the genoral opinion. It seems to me that Tasmania has mado an excellent bargain. It is ossentially a producing colony, not a manufacturing one. Beer, jam, and oatmeal may be eaid to embrace everything done in the way of made goods. With only a population of a little over 120,000 people all told, the cereal, vegetable, fruit, timber and mineral products of the island cannot be disposed of within itself; and as Melbourne is an immense market within a day's steaming distance, it is manifestly a groat gain to havo such an outlet perfectly free, the only condition being vice versa. No ono will suppose that Victoria, with a small rainfall, can compete on even terms in Tas manian markets with produce of local growth ; so that tho advantage to Victoria is simply tho freo market open to that colony's manufactures. But as Victoria has a population of something like 800,000, and Tasmania only 120,000, I for one fail to sco where the over-reaching is, as obviously only a very small share of the re quirements of Tasmania in imported goods can be successfully supplied by Victoria against the world, especially when there is an express condition in the agreement that not moro than 5 per cent, proportion of foreign goods is allowed in any articles of mixed manufacture.—Yours faithfully, H. Hartnoll.
