FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Christchdrcii, Monday. An inquest was held to-day on the body of a man named Rogers, who was hurt in a collision of two traps a few days ago, and died in the hospital. The vehicles, according to the evidence, were on their right side, but, nevertheless, they managed to come into violent collision. Neither carried lights. Rogers had his ribs fractured, and delirium set in, but it was shown that his lungs were congested, and his heart very fatty, which really caused his death. The jury, therefore, returned a verdict of accidental death.
