Details of Event
He was engaged, with his mate, in drawing off an old gate and when last seen, prior to the accident, was preparing to draw a prop by means of a sylvester. Both men were found buried four hours later, Richardson being dead. The accident was caused by tour bars collapsing, probably due to a fall of side.
