ROTORUA TRAIN ACCIDENT.
Per Press Association. Auckland, August 80. At the inquiry into the Rotorua train accident, Richard E. Robinson, Westinghouse brake export, said there was only a part o£ the brake likely to be defective, that was the coupling, and the defect was duo to continued coupling and uncoupling. The only theory he had to account for the accident was that Maori children might have turned the cock at Ngatira. If the porter had failed to turn the cook it would have the same effect. Mr Kettle, S.M., remarked that it seemed n waste of time to call evidence as to the efficiency of the Westinghouse brake. It was used throughout the world and admitted to be the best.
