§ MR. M. BROOKSasked the President of the Board of Trade, If his attention has been called to an accident, attended by grievous injury to several persons, which occurred on the Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway on Wednesday last; whether he is aware that this is the second accident of a similar kind, on the same Railway, and in the same locality, within the last six weeks; and, if he proposes to institute an official inquiry into the causes of these accidents, and the necessity for continuous brakes?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEYI have sent Major-General Hutchinson to report on the accident referred to, and will lay his Report on the Table when it is received. The Board of Trade have no information of a similar accident on that railway during the present year. I have this evening laid on the Table Papers on the subject of continuous brakes.
