No. 5 in the list. This was an accident by a fall of stone. The stone, it appears, was known to be bad on the Saturday, and on the following Monday morning, about 7 o'clock, the two deceased were told by the overman to take it down. The overman does not appear, although he knew the dangerous state of the stone, to have visited the place again to see that this was done, for at 11.30 the stone fell and killed both men who were working under it.
