The only accident under this heading [By Machinery] occurred in the Cow's Hill Quarry belonging to Messrs. Monkhouse & Peart. The accident happened through a man trying to knock a belt in motion off the driving pulley. Some part of his clothing evidently was caught by the revolving shafting, and he was wrapped round and round and killed. The accident did not occur during the ordinary working of the machinery, but when some repairs were being carried out.
