FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A labourer named William Smith, in the service of Mr. Hunt, farmer, of Highgrove, was knocked down and killed by the 6.30 a.m. up train on Thursday morning, at Dutton’s-lane crossing, near Hilsea. An inquest on the body was held at the Coach and Horses, Hilsea, by the county coroner (Mr. E. Goble), on Saturday, when the jury returned a verdict of “Accidental death,” but added to it an opinion that better accommodation should be made for foot passengers in crossing the line at that point.
