Details of Event
He was chargeman in the drawing of some girders from an old road. He fastened his sylvester chain to a prop he wished to draw and brought the lever and ratchet and fastened them to another prop on the same side. When the chain was tightened it drew the back prop instead of the front one and buried him under a fall. Both the girder he stood under and the next one inbye were centre propped but they were run out.
