LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT IN TITS
MORLEY TUNNEL OF THE LEEDS 11.1133-
DEWSBURY RAILWAY.
On Friday the 2d instant, Mr. S. T. W. Gawthorpr
Springfield-place, in this town, who was employedl as
civil engineer to inspect the works on behalf of Or'
Shaw, the contractor, descended one of the shafts..;
of the Morley Tunnel, about eleven o'clock inthe morning, and after examining and measuring
some of the masonry, he asked one of the men to coon ,
and steady the " skip" for him on ascending the shin,
The men, were, however, so engaged in removing
sill, that not one of them could then leave off. Mr. -
then went away, and they neither saw nor heard ant"
thing further until they shortly after came to the tint"
tom of the shaft, and finding the skip in the way,
moved it, and found him lying underneath. He was inr
mediately taken up and a surgeon sent for, but vial
quite dead, though warm. A coroner's inquest ivoll
held the following day, and adjourned to Weber'
day. Owing to the engineman stating that Mt''
engine had not been set in motion from the time sat'
Gawthorp descended the shaft until he was brottgbV
up, the accident could not be satisfactorily accounted
It was was supposed that the engineman was not correct ift
his statement, and that Mr. Gawthorp must have given
the signal to be drawn up, and having no one to
steady the skip he had been thrown out, and the skip'
coming up empty, had been-let down again, and row: •
on the body, the weight and pressure of wh,e7
being from two to three cwt., prevented respiratin"'
The jury re-assembled on Wednesday evening lati
when Benjamin Fotherbank, James M'Loughlin, Minuf.„
Burn, Hugh Griffith, William Halliday, Henry staltlirl
George Griffiths, and Mr. Longbottom, the age""
were examined. There was nothing in their evide7a
beyond the facts already stated. The banksman ...
engine- driver still maintained that the skip had not bee
raised between the time of Mr. Gawthorp descendinP
shaft and his dead body being brought up. The :1"':$
were unanimously of opinion that Mr. Gawthorp 13I'd
his death accidentally, and that the engine-driversti
banksman had both wilfully withheld some portion
their evidence. Mr. Gawthorp was highly respented_nbia
all who knew him. He was thirty-six years of age,
has left an amiable wife and five young children: to
plore his irreparable loss.—Leeds Mercury.
