Anthony Baker, a labourer, who came by his death under
the following circumstances :—On the previous Tuesday
the deceased, with several other men, were engaged in ex-
cavating the road in Cromwell-street for the purpose of
laying a sewer, when a large fall of earth from the north
side took place, entirely burying deceased and two other
men. The first of the sufferers extricated was apparently
unhurt ; the second was found to be seriously injured,
the shaft of a " pick" having penetrated his side ; and the
last, the deceased, was quite dead. It was about seven
