MOTOR-CYCLIST TERROR
AN ENGINE-DRIVER'S COMPLAINT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night. At the inquest this morning touching the death of George Martin Smith, the Coroner returned a verdict that the deceased died from injuries accidentally received through colliding with a train. The engine-driver of the train, who is an experienced official, stated in the witness box that motor-cyclists were a •great trial to engine-drivers. They repeatedly rushed over crossings in front of trains, and thought it a joke to clear the engine by a narrow margin, thus causing the man on the engine a great deal of needless anxiety. These remarks did not refer to the present case.
