  "An inquest was held by Dr. Clendinning at the White Hart Hotel, on Wednesday, on the body of George Lee, aged 33, a native of Shropshire, who died in the Hospital on Tuesday. It appears from the evidence that deceased was a blacksmith, and was working at the foundry of Messrs R. Carter &.Co. On the 10th October he was working at an iron shaft weighing 21cwt., which was slung in a crane in the usual manner. After some time it was found that an additional S-link was required in the suspending chain, and deceased made one of five-eights iron, although he was warned several times that it would not carry the weight. After working four or five hours longer the shaft fell and broke his leg and he was taken to the Hospital, where amputation was performed on 18th October. Sloughing and fever however, set in and caused death, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts as here given."
