Details of Event
Deceased was stripping off the surface gravel to bare the sand, on a ledge 7ft. 3ins. wide. When going to fetch his pipe, or for some ether purpose, he appeared to have tripped over some turfs laid along the edge of the ledge to prevent loose stones falling on the workmen below, and fallen headlong on to a lower ledge, a distance of 2ft. 9 ins. He was killed instantly. He had quite recently recovered from an attack of influenza and had been complaining of giddiness.
