ACCIDENT AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY).
—This evening, about 5 o'clock, an accident of a very
fearful character happened to one of the scaffold builders
at the House of Commons. For some time alterations
have been going on at the top of the shaft for light-
ing and ventilating the building, immediately behind the
Speaker's chair, and it appears that the unfortunate man
was engaged in removing the scaffolding, when one of
the boards on which he was standing gave way, and
he was precipitated to the bottom, a depth of
sixty or seventy feet, and fell on his back on the
sharp edge of a zinc ventilator, which was completely
doubled up. An alarm was raised, and the poor fellow
was, with some difficulty, extricated by means of one of
the windows in the ante-room of the reporters gallery,
He was immediately conveyed to Westminster Hospital
in an insensible state, and, from the serious injuries
he has sustained, it is feared his will not be spared.
