Details of Event
Deceased required an iron skip against which a stone 6ft. by 3ft. by 2ft., recently taken down, rested. He attached the chains of a steam crane to the skip and told the driver to pull up. As soon as the skip was raised the stone fell forward on deceased. I cannot understand him standing where he did.
