A labourer was killed at Flusco Quarry, Cumberland. He was standing between the buffers of the two wagons, which were only about 2 ft. apart, tying the cords of the waterproof sheet, when another wagon bumped into the standing wagons. He was caught between the buffers and killed instantly. The accident was due to carelessness on the part of deceased and also on the part of the person who allowed the wagon to run uncontrolled against the others.
