THE MOTOR-CYCLIST.
AN ENGINE-DRIVER'S COMPLAINT BY TELEGRAPH— PRESS ASSOCIATION. ASHBURTON, Dec. 28. At the inquest this morning touching the death of Geo. Martin Smith, the Coroner returned a verdict that the deceased died from injuries accidentally received through colling with a train. The engine-driver of the train, who is an experienced official, 6tated in the witness-box that motorcyclists were a great trial to enginedrivers. They repeatedly rushed over crossings in front of trains, and thought it a joke to clear the engine by a narrow margin, thus causing the man on the engine a great deal of needless anxiety. These remarks did not refer to the present case.
