The inquest on Hollyman, whose death resulted from the collapse of the Nile street bridge, was continued to-day, and lasted all day. The evidence of one expert blames the inspectors and the workmanship ; that of Mr Akersten finds fault with the design and the manner in which the bridge was allowed to be erected. Judgment stands further adjourned till Thursday.
