The magisterial enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the accidental death of Frederick Joyce, who was thrown out of a cart at Norman Creek Bridge, on June 13, was held before Mr. W. H. Day, on Monday. The evidence of Dr. Thompson showed that death probably resulted from compression of the brain caused by the back of deceased's head coming in violent contact with some hard substance. The medical evidence also showed that deceased had been drinking, his breath at the time of reception at the hospital indicating this. The evidence of Joseph Kendrick who was with deceased at the time of the accident, did not directly point to the cause of the mishap, but the witness stated that the breeching broke as they were descending the decline leading to Norman Creek Bridge, which caused the spring-cart in which they were riding to swerve against the kerbing and overturn.

An accident with fatal consequences occurred at the Norman Creek Bridge, between eight and nine o'clock on Wednesday evening last. It appears that Mrs. Pointon, who lives on the further side of the bridge above mentioned, had her attention attracted by hearing a sound as of some person in distress, and on looking about for the cause found a man named Joseph Kendrick in the road, suffering from an accident that had just taken place on the other side of the creek. Kendrick told her that himself and a neighbor named Frederick Joyce ware returning to their homes at Tingalpa from Brisbane in a spring cart, and on approaching the bridge at Norman's Creek, they were both thrown violently out of the cart into the road. He must himself have lain some time senseless, but on recovering con- sciousness he called for Joyce, and received no answer. He then did his best to procure assistance, and succeeded in the manner described. Mr. Pointon shortly afterwards came home, and said that he had met a horse with spring-cart walking leisurely along the road, but having no one in charge. He then, as soon as possible, took up the injured men and brought them to the Brisbane Hospital; Joyce was breathing heavily, and evidently in a dying state; he lingered, however, through the night, and died about nine on Thursday morning. Kendrick bore marks of having had a good shaking, but has not been very seriously hurt, and is recovering from the effects of the spill. It is not known precisely how the accident occurred, but it is believed that the horse going down the hill at a fast pace struck violently against the post of the bridge, thus jerking the two men out on the road, without quite upsetting the cart. Deceased was perfectly sober at the time of the accident, and was a strong, healthy young man, thirty years of age, and only married three weeks.
