STANDING ON TRAMCAR PLATFORMS. [Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, July 7. At an inquest concerning tho death of Cecil Fortescue, who died as the result of injuries sustained through falling from a tram car, tho Coroner said that these accidents showed the necessity for strictly enforcing tho regulations prohibiting people from standing on tho platforms of the cars.

A verdict of death by a fall from a tram car was returned.
