DEFECTIVE BRAKES. Received May 2, 12.57 a.m. MELBOURNE, May 1. The Crown's expert who made an examination of the brakes on the Bei/digo train found that the second engine's brake was defective, and failed to grip, while the brakes on the mail van and one carriage were utterly useless. The first engine's brake was effective, but an obstruction was found in tho hose connection between it and the tender. The expert remarks that as an express train it was a disgrace to the road.
