Deceased fell from a plank placed from the quarry face to the spoil bank following up behind the quarry face. He was going to his work in the quarry and having to travel across the plank he slipped and fell a distance of 20 feet to the ground. The morning was very dark and the plank was slippery through frost. He died the next day.
