Train accident inquiry details engine failure and rail split
A witness described a steam engine running along the line at about thirty miles per hour before it left the rails on an incline, struck the ballast, and overturned. The fireman was killed, another worker injured, and investigators examined the fractured rail and curved track, noting a split that caused the wheel to lift and derail the train.

Shameful prosecution ends in acquittal at Croydon trial
Frances Mary Wilson, a well dressed young woman of seeming respectable connections, faced four indictments for larceny at Croydon. Evidence showed she managed Mr Cook’s millinery department and fled with items worth about ten to twelve pounds, but after a dramatic trial the jury found her Not Guilty, provoking a court-wide scene of cheering and fainting. The following day a separate charge over a cambric handkerchief also resulted in a Not Guilty verdict and immediate discharge.
