Fall of roof on road, cliff. 10ft. by 8ft. by 2ft. thick. Deceased was riding on a journey down a dip, when a collar broke, and caused the next pair of timbers to be crushed out and the roof to fall. The fracture in the collar was fresh. Repairs had been recently done in the road near where, the fall occurred and very probably caused extra squeeze.
