Details of Event
Fall of roof on road, cliff, 5ft. by 17ins. by 12 ins. thick, fell as deceased and a repairer were clearing a fall, in order to put an arm in. The hole was 14ft. high, and the loose stone that fell must have escaped the attention of the repairer when he examined the roof half an hour before the accident. Six-feet seam.
