RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT THE HUTT,
By permission of the Honorable Edward Richardson, we publish the following telegrams received in explanation of the Hutt Railway management:—
Wellington, April 7. " he coach simply stopped its connection with the train because it had been previously \rranged that it should do so, finding that it was a saving to keep the coach at the Hutt and an omnibus to convey passengers from the station into the town.
With regard to the reported accident .. Wellington, April 8. The two hind wheels of the last carnage got off the rails this morning while coming into the town, owing to the points being a little out of gauge. The passengers had to get out at the goods-station instead of the platform, and the next train went to the Hutt at the proper time.
Employer to new clerk : “ Well, Sniffles, have you posted the ledger?" New Clerk : “Yeth, thir, I’ve posted the ledger; but lor, thir, it wath too big for the letter-bokth, and I had to take it inthide the potht-offith.”
