Details of Event
Deceased was descending from a ledge to fetch gunpowder when he trod on a loose stone and fell, or rolled, about six yards into quarry bottom, injuring his back. He resumed work in the quarry on 30th November, 1908, and continued until 11th January, when he had to leave off. He died on 22nd May from cancer of the omentium and adjoining parts, which it was alleged might possibly have been induced or accelerated by the accident.
