§ MR. GOLDNEYasked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether his at- 517 tention has been called to another accident which has occurred on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, near the spot where the accident happened to the Flying Dutchman on the 27th of July last; and, whether he has taken any further steps in the matter?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEYMy attention, Sir, has been called to the accident in question. It happened to a goods train, and no one was seriously injured, but it is important as happening so near the same place. The Company have not yet sent to the Board of Trade the particulars of this second accident. Captain Tyler has, however, been at once directed to examine the whole of the permanent way between Bristol and Exeter, now belonging to the Great Western Railway Company.
