RAILWAY ACCIDENT
NEGLIGENCE FOUND
INSPECTION OF CATCH POINTS
(Received July 29, 1 p.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
The finding of the Railway Board inquiry into the Albury mail accident at Bowning is to the effect that the accident was due to the breaking of a switch rail in the catch points, while the locomotive was passing over it. The negligence of the inspecting engineer, the resident engineer, and the sub-inspector in carrying out an examination of the catch points made those' officers equally responsible with the ganger for the accident. All four persons will be "suitably dealt with."
