They had sunk a shaft in the sewer to the depth of 10 feet,
and wen digging a tunnel through to the cutting, when the
gravel just above the spot where they were at work
suddenly gave way, and let a flood of water in
upon them. The shaft being instantly filled, a
man at the surface put down a ladder to enable them
to escape. Witness succeeded in seising it, and ,was
drawn up, but the deceased was driven by the force of the
flow of water into the month of the sewer where he stuck
fast. He was not released until the lapis of an hoar and a
half. It further appeared that the works had been under-
taken at the inggestion of the Board of Health, and that
the deceased and his fellow workmen had been told not to
cut a teasel but to make an open passage to let the Water
through into the sewer Sally_ Verdi " Acciintal
