MR. THOMAS PEACOCK'S STATEMENT.
H ~Tllos- Peacock, a passenger by •"c bus, W h.o sat inside, says there
were twelve passengers inside, among whom were four or five ladies. All
remained in their seats, and were Tininjured. The passengers heard a great noise, but did not know what had happened. They were all stunned for the moment, and felt helpless. The train caught the forepart of the 'bus and turned it completely round and then shaved past the remainder. The horses were hurled 20ft or 30ft distant into a ditch. "Had the driver got the 'bus two feet more across the line the 'bus would have been cut through," added Mr Peacock .As soon as possible Mr Peacock got a hansom and went for Dr. Haines and also went to Argyle-street and acquainted Mr T. W. Leys of the accident .
