ROTORUA TRAIN ACCIDENT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, August 30. At the Rutorua train accident inkquiry, to-day, Richard E. Robinson, Weslinghouse brake expert, said that there was only one part of the brake likely to be defective. That was the coupling, due to continued coupling and uncoupling. The only theory he had to account for the accident was that Maoii children might haue turned tho cock at Ngatira. If the porter failed to turn the cock it would have the same effect. Mr Kettle, S.M., remarked that it seemed a wafiue of time to call ■evidence, as to the efficiency of the Westinghouse brake, which was used throughout the world, and admitted to be the best.
