Details of Event
He was building the corner wood pack of a new gate when a piece of rock roof weighing 8 cwts fell on his back and fractured his spine. The ripping had been blown down in advance of the pack and it is thought that the shots had shaken the stone, although the deputy and deceased failed to detect any weakness.
