Details of Event
Killed by a stone weighing about 3 cwt. falling on to his head from a height of 6 feet. He and his mate had examined the piece that fell and considered it was not safe but they thought there was no immediate danger. Had they removed it at once, as they ought to have done, the accident would not have happened.
