| Description | |
|
|
The fatal case occurred at Burtree Dyke Quarry, in the county of Durham, belonging to Messrs. Monkhouse & Peart, and caused the death of a quarryman.
For some days previous to the accident occurring there had been a severe frost, and on a thaw setting in a piece of stone off the face of the quarry, about nine or ten feet above where the man was working, slipped away and so severely injured his foot, that amputation was necessary. He, however, died the following day from shock to his system.
