Saturday 04 Jan 1845 (p. 2, col. 4) MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, at Bardon Mills Station (4 miles west of Newcastle) on Saturday morning last; the station-keeper, named John SCOT, who had only been lately appointed to the office, was standing on the rails, when an approaching engine knocked him down and passed over his head, which it severed from his body. He was married and had a family. THE MURDER CASE AT ULVERSTON.-We last week published the particulars of this melancholy affair, as far as we were able to obtain them. We stated that a coroner's inquest was held on Monday, and it appears the jury, after sitting till ten o'clock, adjourned to Friday, on which day they again resumed their important duty, at nine o'clock in the morning, and after sitting until about eight o'clock at night they again adjourned until Saturday morning at half-past eight, at which hour the jury re-assembled, and having heard the whole of the evidence, and the comments of the coroner (William BLENDAL, Esq.) thereon, they retired about four o'clock in the afternoon to consider their verdict; and after an absence of some time returned into court, and pronounced the prisoner guilty of "Wilful Murder." During the whole of the time that the jury was sitting, the town was in a state of great excitement, and the utmost anxiety was manifested by the public to learn the result of the inquest, which, when made known, seemed to give general satisfaction. The prisoner's name is Thomas DONOHOO, and he is, as we have already stated, a travelling razor-grinder and tinker: he is a fresh-coloured, strong, muscular man, and stands about six feet high, and formerly resided in this city. The prisoner and his wife were married at Ulverston about thirteen years since, and have had six children, all whom are dead with the exception of a boy about twelve years of age and a little girl about three. The prisoner's house presented a most wretched appearance, being wholly destitute of either bedding or furniture of any description, with the exception of a stool and some crokery [sic] ware.
