BURIED ALIVE-FATAL ACCI-
DENT AT THE WORJVIOUSE CEMETARY.

(From the Liverpool Mercury of Friday.)
Yesterday morning it was very generally repotted
that an accident, which had proved fatal to the lives of
several individuals, had occurred at St. Mary's liuriak
ground, hotter known as the Workhouse Cemetery,;
situated in Cambridge-street. Thu facts of the ease do

not warrant any such exaggeration, but we regret to
say that •ono man has lost his life. It appears that two,
men, inmates of the workhouse, named James Kay and
John Platt, were engaged in forming a grave at the
above cemetery. In consequence of the rain which fell
en Sunday and Monday, the ground was in a very wet
and slippery state, so much so, that the joists or beams
for the purpose of supporting the earth on each side bad
become loosened. One of the men named Jame& Kay,
about 55 years of age, descended for the purpose of
tightening them by means of screws ; he was repeatedly
cautioned by his companion on the top to t,)ie care that
they did not give way, Shortly afterwards, or about
twenty minutes past nine, and while the trnfortunate man
was on the ladder for the purpose of awending, the beams,
stays, earth, &e., suddenly fell in, completely burying the
poor fellow underneath, and exposing to view a quantity of
coffins, bones, &c., on each side to the depth of several
feet. John Platt very narrowly escaped the same fate,
fortunately clinging to the top of a door placed at one of
the sides. Means were instantly resorted to for the
purpose of rescuing the unfortunate man ; butit was
until half-past twelve o'clock that they succeeded in

have contained sixty bodies, the coffins beir.g placed. side

turely been deprived of life was, we arse informed, a
native of Tarbock, in Cheshire, and very Tiiet, harmlisas,
and industrious. lie was well known to many con-
nected with the timber trade, having been employed fer
a number of years as a carter in this town. lie had
only. been an inmate of the workhouse for three months.
having immediately previous been employed at the' t.
Martin's Cemetery. the disgraceful manner in which
the dead are, huddled together in this cemetery cabs
loudly for some legislative interference, to prevent au ch
improper practices being continued in large towns. The
effluvium arising from the opened graves was quite a n-
noying. Surely it cannot be generally known th at
sixty bodies are " cribbed, cabin'd, and confined" in ix ae
grave, about 7 feet by 4, and some 24 'Tea deep, nee' s-
alinity creating disease, poisoning the atmosphere, a Lid
sickening all who may go near.
