Details of Event
Deceased and another man were barring down stones, loosened by a round of shots fired the previous day. As they were barring a stone about 30cwts in weight over the edge of the ledge the stone deceased stood on gave way and he fell to the ledge of 20 feet. They had a rope but did not use it, had it been used the accident in all probability would have been prevented.
