						Pollard, William, 26 Aug 1913, aged 40, Labourer, deceased and other two workmen were filling at the foot of the face when, without any warning, a piece of stone from some 20 feet up the face fell and caught two of the men, killing deceased on the spot and severely injuring the other man; the face appeared to have been properly examined, and there was nothing to show any danger; the fall was probably due to weathering after an unusual heavy fall of rain
