Details of Event
Deceased and his neighbour were clearing away a fall on a roadway, filling the debris into tubs and stone in an old roadway while moving a loaded tub, it caught on one side, and when clearing the obstruction a fresh fall took place and he was buried beneath it. The roof was very bad, and the fall carried away the timbers.
